Bride-to-be feted at shower
By Mary Beierling
VARNA - Joanne McBride, who is being
married on October 17, received many love-
ly and useful gifts at a community shower in
Goshen Church on Tuesday, September 29.
Margaret Hayter was master of cer-
monies, and introduced "Charlie Far-
quhar" ( Kate Keys) who gave details of
Joanne's horoscope in Charlie's hayseed
dialect. Margaret's reading warned Joanne
of the hidden meanings in a farmer's re-
quests for help. Several hilarious skits show-
ed her what married life is like. The first one
took place at breakfast, with Anna Keys and
Marjorie Hayter portraying Joanne and
George. In her efforts to please him, she
served him one egg fried, the other scrambl-
ed but she scrambled the wrong one. In the
Credit Union Office, Helen Keys played
Joanne, and Aunt Jean ( Peggy Keys) is her
visitor. In the rubber plant sce.ne, Linda
Keys and Nora Keys played George Regier
and his friend. Sandy Hayter was Joanne's
mother in the final skit. After giving an
unflattering description of her lost husband
to Missing Persons, she tells them to "oh,
forget it".
Joanne Hayter did a tap dance number.
Elva Peck read the address of good wishes
and Joanne was presented with her gifts.
She graciously thanked everyone, and in-
troduced Mrs. Regier, George's mother. She
also invited everyone to the reception at the
Stanley Complex. The ladies of Goshen serv-
ed lunch.
UCW Learn About India
Members of Varna UCW were pleased, to
have Jane Davidson as their guest at the Oc-
tober meeting, and to hear of her interesting
new career of tour manager in India for the
Australian branch of a travel agency. She
used to take supporters of Father
Abraham's work to India. Seeing what their
money was accomplishing gave them a
special feeling. Jill, the girl who arranged
itinerary, suggeseted that Jane become a
tour manager. Family responsibilities
prevented it then, but when Jill transferred
to Australia two years ago, Jane accepted
the challenge.
She says that touring India is not a holi-
day, it's an experience. No one is prepared
for their exposure to the millions of people
and the poverty. Being poor in India is nor-
mal, with no stigma such as the poor ex-
perience here. She warns tourists that begg-
ing is an organized profession in the style of
the Mafia.
Hotel accommodations for tourists are ex-
cellent, and a choice of Chinese, Indian and
Western food is served buffet style. Only
bottled drinks and those made with .boiled
water are safe. Most tourists get sick, but a
call to a doctor. who gives them an injection,
soon has them healthy again.
An 18 day tour of India costs about $3,295.
Much of it is through rural areas, where 85
percent of the population is still in
agriculture. She had pictures of deep snow
in Kashmir. The pray heat the people had
was their little pot-bellied stoves.
Jane says the Sihks who are entering
Canada as refugees are from the best
educated and wealthiest class of people in
India. People are not persecuted there as
they are in many countries, and the poor
don't have the money to leave.
Jane is very fond of the Australian people
she has met, and liked the country when she
visited her office in Sydney. Compared with
India, Canada, in spite of its problems, is a
wonderful country. Jane was introduced by
Margaret McClymont and thanked by Doris
Wilson.
During the business meeting, Joan Beierl-
ing gave a report on the Huron -Perth ex-
ecutive meeting. The annual meeting in
January will be held in Wesley Willis
Church in Clinton.
Those who attended the Fall Rally in
Bayfield reported they greatly enjoyed the
speaker, Neil Anders.. of Stratford. The
Varna Singers contri, ited special music
and Barbara Anne Parker sang. Joyce
Dowson was the song leader. Varna will host
the rally next year. Motions were made in
regard to planting trees in front of the
manse and replacing the stove and
refrigerator in the manse, and then install-
ing the old refrigerator in the church kit-
chen. Goshen and the manse committee will
be appy ached for their opinions.
The T. anksgiving worship service was
prepared nd led by Margaret McClymont,
Dorothy strom and Doris Wilson. In
Dorothy's meditation, we gave thought to
the amenities we take for granted that
would have been unknown to thoselived
in so-called luxury not so long ago.
In place of the regular November
meeting, arrangements are being made to
see the McClure Story in Blyth on Saturday
afternoon, November 19.
