(David E:nslie photo) Two children baptized By Mrs. L. Stonehouse BELGRAVE - Since the third Sunday of each month is set aside as Chidlren's Sun- day, November 16 marked this occasion at Knox United Church here. Thee sacrament of baptism was_ also celebrated at the service which was con- ducted by Rev. John G. Roberts. Mrs. George Procter, organist, accom- panied the children's choir as it sang. The minister asked, what does baptism mean? This, he explained by referring to his own. life situation. On his arrival in Canada from Wales, he was not a Canadian citizen, but British. He worked here but was a visitor. On arrival in Canada, the minister was given a document which stated he was a landed immigrant. He might become a Canadian citizen in the future if he so desired and was approved by Canada. Baptism is similar to becoming a citizen of a country. First the child is landed in the status of the church at Baptism. Later at confirmation he becomes a member of the church if approved. Why use water? Mr. Roberts queried, what does water signify? It signifies washing, we need to be cleansed. The order of baptism as presented in the service book was used to receive Craig Robert James, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Folkard, and Nicole Rachel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Procter, into the church. CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1986—Page 9 Microwaves win new fans By Kathy Bromley Last Thursday evening, 98 eager women attended an evening of both enjoyment and education at the Blyth Public School. The Blyth Figure Skating Club hosted the evening of Miracles in Microwave with Shirley Couillard of Kitchener as the guest speaker. She shared numerous recipes and points on how to get the most out of your microwave. She was going steadily all even- ing, with three microwave ovens cooking various dishes. One of the main points Shirley stressed was to make use of your microwave - use it often to get the most out of it. She proved • that every type of dish, from vegetable, to meat, to dessert, can be prepared from the microwave. With a great percentage of the women on the working force now, she con- vinced everyone it was an appliance of great value. The microwave cooks food 70 per cent faster than that of a conventional or regular oven. How do the two types of ovens differ? Conventional ovens cook food with heat that is produced with hot dry air, while microwave ovens cook food with heat that is produced within the food itself. I for one found it to be an evening of great Euchre Six tables were in play at the weekly euchre which was held in the WI Hall in Belgrave on November 12. Winners were: Ladies' - high, Mrs. George'Drehmann; novelty, Helen Martin; low, Eva McGill. Men's - high, Lewis Stonehouse; novelty, Mrs. Jim Coultes; low, Stanley Black. There will be euchre again this Wednes- day at 8 p.m. Personals Mrs. Gerald Watson of Forest spent a few days last week with her sister-in-law, Jean Pattison and also visited with other relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Hull, Chris and Kim of New Hamburg visited with their grand- mother, Mrs. Joe Dunbar on Sunday evening. Leila Swahn of Rose Valley visited with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Black last week. Villetta Swahn and friend Casey Peterson of Rose Valley are spending a few months with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Black and family. Mr. and Mrs. David McCormick of St. Catharines spent the weekend with Laura `Johnston arid also visited with other Yuill relatives. Friends of the community extend sym- pathy to Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Taylor and other Robinson relatives on the death of her borther, Ross Robinson of Auburn. h"npfit to attend flint only was I able to see and taste the foods prepared, but was also able to purchase one of her cook books Miracles In Microwave. It has recipes for both types of cooking-microwaving and conventional. One point that I came across in Shirley's cook book that caught my eye was centered around, yes, you guessed it, bread. I read that you could have your dough rise in the microwave in a matter of minutes. Well, the next day, I couldn't resist it and so I put it to the test. What a break through! Sure enough, I was able to do buns in hall the time it usually takes, thanks to the microwave. Accompanying Shirley was Bernice Glenn of Dungannon, a Tupperware dealer, selling various dishes made for the microwave. Draws were also made. Mildred Ament took home a serving dish, while Azetta Gibb- ings won a dish. The steamer -colander was won by Laura MaeChamney and the quiche casserole dish went to Marg Hallahan. Cook books can Still be purchased with a portion of the money from the cook books going to the Blyth Figure Skating Club.
