A number of questions were raised by property owners with regard to drainage etc., with careful consideration given to them by the engineers and other officials. • UCW has pot -luck Many former members of the Varna United Church Women enjoyed a pleasant evening of worship and fellowship when they joined' the present members for the Christmas meeting and potluck supper on Thursday.
