Mrs. Eileen Hamilton gave the call to . worship with a verse from Ephesians: "For Christ Himself is our peace, Who has made the many into one." The ladies sang the hymn "I'm so Glad That Our Father's in Heaven" and Mrs. Hamilton reminded them of the opportunities the New Year provides us to succeed. She said we must learn to use our time wisely, to think of others kindly and set aside past grievances, clear the "garbage" and start .the new year with a clean sheet. The ladies noticed that Mrs. Hamilton was surrounded by stuffed garbage bags and they soon wereto find out what each one meant. The first bag of "garbage", from 1974, was presented to Mrs. Sandra Edgar. She told how she was very hurt when she was ill and confined to her home at that time and nobody came to see her. She never forgot it, but said it was time to get rid of her "garbage" and did. Mrs. Dorothy McGee received a bag of 1975 "garbage". At that time, she belonged to a group and volunteered her services to go on corurnittees, but no one ever asked: She realized that shetoo must get rid of this "garbage''. Mrs. Audrey O'Krafka received her bag of "garbage" from 1970, the year she joined ,a group and was willing to share her talents, She kept going to the meetings even though she was never asked to contribute. Finally Mrs. Hamilton had two little bags of "garbage" herself. They '• .represented . the : time a minister of a church told her if she couldn't attend church services, she didn't need to belong to the UCW. She finally threw out her "gar- bage" and said it is just plain trash. We carry a lot of trash in our minds and hearts, she said. We all know of the Lord's won- derful and instant forgiveness of so how can we do less for the people we love. The hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" was sung and Mrs. Hamilton led in prayer. The offering was received and dedicated. Mrs. Phyllis McMichael, the group's new president, read a greeting to start the new year. Mrs. Hamilton read the minutes of the last meeting.and Mrs. Edgar presented the treasurer's report. Thank -you notes and corres- Howick Junior Institute learns about reflexology HOWICK -- Twenty members and one guest gathered at Howick Central School for the January meeting of Howick Junior Women's Institute, Guest speaker, Shirley Bott of Gorrie, gave members an in- teresting presentation on reflex- ology, It is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in one's hands and feet which cdrrespond to all glands, organs and other body parts. She explained that one's foot mirrors the body image so there • are certain places the reflexologist works on the foot, depending on the patient's ail- ment. Since 80 per cent of all ill- nesses today stem from tension and emotions, this is a drugless way to stimulate organs, help circulation and relax the body. Cathy McMillan was the lucky person who received a foot massage as Shirley demonstrated her tech- niques. Susi Kym thanked the speaker and presented her with a gift. The roll call, "Your favorite quote", proved very interesting. A few worth repeating were "Justify- ing your fault doubles it"; "It is better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" and "The -best man for the jab is a woman". A. donation will be made to the Novice Super Series hockey tourna- ment to be held at Howick Com- munity Centre in February. Leone Foerter reported on the district executive meeting held recently. Their theme is "Let's Produce Less Garbage in 1989". Since the recyc- ling program has started in the township, the Junior Institute volun- teered to coordinate the distribution of the blue boxes in the villages of Wroxeter, Gorrie and Fordwich. Members will assist with the Heart and Stroke Foundatiob canvass again this year by visiting homes in the three villages. - In an effort to produce less gar- bage, it was decided to have each member make a bag in which to Jug- a -mug to the meetings, instead of using styrofoam cups'. Susi Kym was responsible for lunch. Jr. Wi member attends a leadership workshop HOWICK — "Visions for Volun- teers", a leadership development workshop, held'recently in Toronto, provided both practical application and inspiration for the 30 selected leaders from Women's Institute branches throughout the province. Among those selected was Kate Tervit from the Howick Junior Women's Institute. Some of the objectives of Feder- ated Women's Institutes of Ontario are to discover, stimulate and develop leadership and also to help identify and resolve needs in the community. Among the needs dis- covered by FWIO was the desire for workshops on a variety of subjects, shared by members who were uneasy about presenting the work- shops themselves. After the Visions for Volunteers workshop, it now means that 30 women are able to present workshops in their local communities, rl•clyded in the topics covered were resources, publicity and promotion, displays and layouts, looking after volunteer helpers and the practicalities of organizing a workshop. The delegates also got a chance to share how their own WI branches are progressing on the current theme of Waste manage- ment and recycling: Marklevitzes are conveners at euchre party ponden ce were ° read, A card vets signed by all for Mrs Mil l Cpi land, who has been rll and unable ..; attend the meetings. , .
