She has been certified for all phases if floral design and has worked in The field for the past eight years. When she arrived in Gorrie just over 'one year ago (her husband is the Anglican Church minister at the Gorrie . and Fordwich charges) she decided to go out on . a limb and open a floral design business of her own. Her reception by the townspeople has been "A-1" in Mrs. Gray's estimation. She said people have welcomed her and told her UCW ladies gather for thankoffering service GORRIE — Thankoffering services for the United Church Women were held last Tuesday with a, good attendance and neighboring congregations also were present. Mrs. Jacqueline Gowdy and Mrs. Annie Simmons welcomed the ladies at the door . and Mrs. Eileen Johnston and Mrs. Reta Carson ushered. The call to worship was led by. Mrs. Reta Mann. After the opening hymn, Mrs. Florence Bolander in- troduced Cathy Good, for- merly of Baden, who now is working with the Mennonite Central Committee in Pennsylvania, India and who has just returned from Calgray. She led the devotions, her theme being "God Loveth a Cheerful Giver". Mrs. Catherine Howard sang a solo. Mrs. Shirley Martin, Atwood, who works as a volunteer for a self-help program, under the Men- nonite Central Committee for Third World countries, told of the crafts and handi- work of the people of Haiti, India, Korea and Bangla- desh and their lives. Crafts were on display and to purchase. Mrs. Martin said through buying these items the ladies were helping in two ways because they could buy a gift for a friend and help the poor. Mrss. Gowdy thanked the. speaker, Mrs. Mann dedicated the offering and Mrs. Bolander gave the closing prayer. Lunch was served and about $300 was realized from the sale of crafts and a special thank you was ex- tended to the ladies who participated. Mrs. G. Golley reads poem at WMS meeting BLUEVALE - "May Flowers" was the poem Mrs. Glenn Golley chose to open last Wednesday's meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of Knox Presbyter- ian Church at the home of Mrs. Jack Jenkins. Mrs. Jenkins read the devotions from Corinthians and Mrs. Alex MacTavish spoke of the miracle of growth, followed, by a prayer, "This World", read by Mrs. Jenkins, which told the ladies that God picked the right couple for Jesus's parents, mother- and father of the year. Mrs. Joe Walker read the minutes of the . last two meetings and they were, adopted. The treasurer's report was given and the offering received by Mrs. Jenkins with a prayer by Mrs. Golley. Donations to the supply fund were accepted. The president reminded the members of the cen- tennial in Kincardine May 28 and they discussed plans for last Friday's plant, bake sale and tea. The roll call was answered by eight ladies with a verse containing the word "patience". Mrs. Burns Moffatt chose "Worry" for the study. "Is there a God?" she first asked. She said we should live one day at a time. Worry serves no purpose and it can't lengthen your life, but it can shorten it, She told the ladies not to be overly anxious about earthly necessities and that worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes. The only real cure for worry is faith in God. In closing she read a poem "The Beginningof a New Day". The closing hymn was "God Who Made the Earth", followed by a prayer by the president. Lunch was served by Mrs. MacTevish and. Mrs. Jenkins, They -also dust tre lhappy with her work because Mrs. Graysaidshe has been busy since opening last Novem- ber.

Until now, the closest place a farmer could go to study the futures market , would be to the major agricultural schools, like Guelph or Ridgetown. But. Mr. Purdon said he saw no reason why farmers in this area should have to travel so far afield if they could have access locally to the major trading centres. So the idea for the centre was born. Mr. Purdon and Mr. Ross have computer access to the world's biggest trading centre, Chicago, and - all the information about cattle, grain and even pork belly futures are as close as your fingertips. ' Mr. Purdon and Mr. Ross do not claim , to be financial advisers or stockbrokers. They merely will be providing the information to the farmer and what he does with it is up to him.
