Gary Dauphin Heather Cameron Dauphin Feed and Supply Territory Manager - Shur -Gain Com unit News Weather seems to reflect Martha's mood How was your week? I found this morning cool and miserable, everything soaking wet - outdoors -and dark clouds still hanging around. Seems like the summer is sneaking away and that cool wind is trying to tell us something. This doesn't say that last week was a total loss. We did have some bright spots even if we had to create some of them. But- last week after checking the harbour and the parks -they were still there -I came back up and headed for our nice old lighthouse. Suddenly, I noticed a fine old home or should I say "house", being torn down. - One of the bricks might just .as well have hit me as that sudden surprise, my throat tightened and my eyes welled up -I couldn't believe it -after all the years it has stood quietly, beautifully there on that little street. I still choke up every time I think of someone needing a building lot that badly. Is this what is going to happen all over town beacuse lots are becoming scarce? I'll bet that house was as old as the Parkhouse nearby. What a shame. It spoiled my whole weekend. No-one knows what will be torn down next. From there I turned and headed for Britannia Road. Suddenly, I wasn't dawdling, there was Bruce MacDonald's sailing ship in view and the building beside it being torn down. I was not hitting the right places to change my mood. I had to go to the store and found myself at the mall. Parking was easy and • it had started to rain so I hurried inside. What was wrong? It was dark and quiet, no cheery faces anywhere. I turned towards the Met and there was hardly a soul in that long ai- sle. I needed some picture wire and went ROUND'N With Murtha R thiaurn straight through to the far wall. Hardly a soul around. What was happening, had everyone gone or stayed home? I hurried in- to the A and P store, they always smile there so I slowed down. I couldn't remember what I needed and soon hurried out. What a day! To change the subject: What do you do with all the bottles and jars that ac- cumulate? I can't resist saving the small jars -can someone use a few? A few big ones have gone to the garbage. What a, shame.' Now I hear there might be a bottle dump somewhere? Anyone know'.' Recycling sounds like a great idea. I shudder when I think of what millions of years from now - someone will think of that layer of glass that will cover the earth, everything but glass will be useful and here is a layer they can't penetrate. What a horrible thought. Well, why should I worry about a million years from now when we might not even make another twenty? People on far planets have threatened the earth people to stay within their own territory. How about that? It scares me -but I hope I'm not around to be blown up with our big planet. My but the weather is getting to rne. Check on your friends, keep well, Love, Martha.

The meeting was opened with the presi- dent Mrs. Maithel Wilson reading the poem "Man's Need". The twenty-five ladies present then join- ed in the singing of the hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth" and the "The Pur: pose" of the UCW was read in unison. The convenor Mrs. Norma Humphrey then took over her part of the meeting. Norma read an article from the Country Guide on agriculture which proved to be very interesting, but in some cases did not ring positively true to a lot of farmers. Mrs. Jean Goodwin of Point Clark was then called to the front to introduce the guest speaker Mrs. Minda Paisley of Kin- cardine and she spoke on "prayer", which was mostly on how we should pray - not where because we can pray no matter where we are, or what we are doing. And as we all know, do not expect all our prayers to be answered, and not always in the way we want. Mrs. Paisley gave us "The 6 S's of Prayer" which are 1. Subject by subject 2. A short prayer 3. Simple prayers 4. Specific prayers 5. Silent prayer 6. to pray in small groups. The minutes of both the May and June meetings were read by Anne Boyde, and were adopted by Maithel Wilson. The hymn "Be Still My Soul" was sung. A number of items of correspondence were read by Anne Boyde. Business was discussed, the main thing on all the ladies' minds was the big bazaar of the year "Kountry Kitchen" which will once again be held on Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday October 10th at the church and also in the hall. The collection was taken and Maithel led in prayer. The hymn,"Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" was sung. The meeting closed with prayer and the singing of Grace.
