WROXETER--On a nice spring evening, members of the United Church Women were welcomed by Shirley Hatt as they gathered at her home for the May meeting. Mildred, Coupland and Phyllis McMichael chose "Mother" as the theme for` the worship. Scripture verses about mothers, the hymn "When Mothers of Salem" and a poem about mothers were used by Mrs. Coupland and Mrs. McMi- chael. Mrs. Coupland received and dedicated the offering. 0) Mrs. McMichael read stories about mothers and the magic of mothers. She said "mom" is some- one who knew how to heal with a kiss, quiet fears with a hug and a story, clean up a muddy child and answer endless questions. Each new mother seems to get "Mother's Magic" soon after.. the birth of her child and solves the mystery "How Do Mothers Get Mothers' Magic". Mrs. McMichael introduced Pau- line Richards of Fordwich, a long- time member of the agricultural so- ciety, demonstrator and judge of flower arrangements and growth of flowers. It was interesting to watch her snip stems and tuck blossoms and greens into an odd dish and make it look beautiful. She spoke on the picking and care of cut flowers and greens, how to decide what to use to ,suit the place and occasion. God creates the beautiful flowers and they can ex- press many wonderful thoughts when we share them with others. The ladies expressed their thanks to Mrs. Richards and a gift was pre- sented for her interesting lesson on nature. Sandra Edgar welcomed all the ladies and thanked Mrs. McMi- chael and Mrs. Coupland for their part in the meeting. Eileen Hamilton read the min- utes of the last meeting. The roll call, the name of a community or city which starts with the first letter of your name proved interesting. Joy Wylie gave the treasurer's re- port. It was decided to use the funds collected from the mystery gift and birthday pennies to be do- nated to the Children's Telethon. The mystery gift was brought by Dorothy McGee and won by Mrs. Richards. The members were re- minded of the visit to the Fordwich Nursing Home on June 17 at 2 p.m. and are asked to bring goodies. The last meeting of the season will be held at the home of Mrs. Edgar on June 27 at 6 p.m. for the smorgasbord supper on the patio. The ladies are asked to bring some- thing for the food table, a lawn chair, a warm sweater and a friend to share the evening. The Mizpah Benediction closed the meeting and a social time with tea and goodies was enjoyel by all. Roger Wormington of Wingham had the best poker hand and Craig Kennedy of London had the sec- ond best poker hand. RAM has two more upcoming events. The motorcycle associa-° tion will have itS 'Meet the Kids' event at Wood Eden Camp in Lon- don in August, and the club's Toy Ride will be held in September. During the 'Meet the Kids' event, children at the camp will get to ride on the back of the mo- torcycles. 4 SOLUTIONS ACROSS 1. Hobby 4. Equip 8. Odd 9. Adieu 10. Ideal 11. Nab 12. Sprig 13.
