each month's program has
been in the charge of a dif-
ferent group of, two or three
members, giving everyone a
chance to make a contribu-
tion to •a varied and in-
teresting program.
Highlights of these first six
months include the puchase
of a table loom which can be
rented by members for.
workshops. A workshop is
set for September 12 to learn

notable quote
Love is very patient and
kind,
never jealous or envious,
never boastful or proud,
never haughty or selfish or
rude.
Love does not demand its
own way.
It is not -irritable or touchy.
It does not hold grudges
and will hardly notice
when others do it wrong.
It is never glad about in -
j ustice,
but rejoices whenever truth
wins out.
If you love someone
you' will be loyal to him
no /natter what the cost.
You will always believe in
him,
always expect the best of
him,
and always stand your
ground
in defending him.
All the special gifts and
powers
from God
will some day come to an
end,
but love goes on forever.

Return of the Curlew
When Fred Bodsworth
wrote his book Last of the
Curlews in 1954, the Eskimo
curlew., he described was
believed to be extinct. But it
wasn't the East curlew.
Ornithologists saw a pair in
August 1976, on James Bay,
•the first recorded in Canada
in more than 100 years. And
one was seen on May 21, 1980,
on Lake Manitoba .

After initial refreshments,
group games were held so

to loosen up a bit and work
up an appetite for the big
