Islands of the Pacific
is topic for UCW meeting
Whitechurch—The United
Church Women met at the
home of Mrs. Russel
Chapman on Wednesday of
last week. The topic was
"Islands of the Pacific". The
meeting opened with the
reading of the hymn, "Jesus
Is The Man for Me". Mrs.
Chapman read scripture
from Paul's letter to the
Romans and Mrs. Dave Gibb
read an article on the Fiji
Islands. All members par-
ticipated in prayer and all
sang a hymn.
Following the receipt of
the offering and the Least
Coin, Mrs. Chapman read
the minutes of the December
meeting as there was no
meeting in January. Roll call
was answered by eight
members naming a present-
day leader of influence.
Mrs. George Thompson
told the story of a nurse,
Eunice Ray, who went to the
islands of the South Pacific
and worked as a nurse in the
Fiji Islands, New Guinea and
Papua where she found
living so different compared
to her former lifestyle. The
weather was so humid that
her shoes were covered with
mildew if she did not wear
them for awhile. The men
ate their meals first, then the
women. Children were
handed their food and many
suffered from malnutrition.
Mrs. Thompson closed the
meeting with prayer and the
Travelling Basket was
passed.
Mrs. Mathers is hostess
for Bluevale UCW meeting
BLUEVALE — The United
Church Women met at the
home of Mrs. Charles
Mathers, with Mrs. Ross
Nicholson, president, in
charge. She opened the
meeting by reading the
United Church Women's
Purpose.
Meaningful devotions were
conducted by members of
Unit Two. The theme was
"The Church in the World".
Scripture was read from the
25th chapter of St. Matthew's
Gospel by Mrs. Jim
Casemore. Then she, Mrs.
Bert Hastings and Mrs. Bert
Garniss read modern
adaptations of "I was hungry
and ye fed me". Examples
were: "I was hungry and you
blamed it on the Com-
munists"; "I was hungry
and you set up a com-
mission"; "I was hungry
and you told me machines do
that work now".
The discussion which
followed seemed to conclude
that there is no immediate
answer to the "today prob-
lems", but Christians should
pray for guidance about our
country's situation.
Pamphlets on stewardship
were distributed, Psalm 33
was read responsively and
prayer followed by Mrs.
Casemore. A letter was read
from the 12 -year-old spon-
sored child in Thailand. The
roll call was answered with
"my commitment as a
Christian".
Comments on' the Huron

Seaforth were given by Mrs.
Peacock, Mrs. Ross Nichol-
son, Mrs. Mathers and Mrs.

sented at that meeting.

in Bluevale Presbyterian
church on Friday, March 4,
at 3 p.m. Any donations for a
bale should be taken to the

information about the tax
when serving meals was
discussed but was not clear.
The date set for the cold
meat supper is May 25.

tions from Presbyterial,

and erotic material on Pay

`'the Wingham Kinsmen Club has voted to
proceed with forming a K-40 club in town, an
auxiliary whose members are past Kinsmen
who have passed their 40th birthday.
Since the age limit for activemembership
in a Kinsmen club is between 21 and 40, a K-
40 club provides an opportunity for senior
Kinsmen to retain their ties with the
organization. One of the aims of a K-40 club
is to assist the sponsoring Kinsmen club
with its projects.
The decision to form a K-40 club in
Wingham was mode during a meeting of the
Kinsmen club Jan. 25. Three past Kinsmen,
Al Williams, Paul Rintoul and Bob
Crawford, attended the meeting to express
their interest in forming a K-40 group.
A past Kinsmen president, Doug Layton,
was to have been the spokesman for the
group, but was unable to attend due to
business commitments. He is the individual
who should be contacted by any past Kins-
men m Wingham and area who are in-
terested in the new club.
Also attending the meeting were Zone B
Deputy Governor Doug McLellan and Zone
officers Ken Hay and Bob McFarlane, all
from Mount Forest. The deputy governor
encouraged the Wingham Kinsmen to
continue their active drive for new mem-
bers, and congratulated the club on its
activities to date.
Also attending were Bob Hewines and
Bernie Bailey asguests of Kinsmen Mike
King and Stan Chadwick.
In the business session of the meeting, the
1 club voted to donate $500 to the workshop
building fund of the Wingham and District
Association for the Mentally Retarded and
$350 to the Wingham Minor Hockey
Association. Mr. King reported on the club's
involvement with Cubs and Scouts and the
proposed project for cystic fibrosis; Mike
Storozuk reported on the upcoming Frosty -
fest and Alex Strong reported on the cross-
country ski tour.
The dinner meeting was catered by the
Wingham Kinette Club, which served a
delicious roast beef meal.
Morris Township
Council requires proof that
attack caused ram's sterility
Morris Township Council
will require a veterinarian's
certificate as proof that a
ram owned by Emma Bird
was rendered sterile after an
attack by dogs.
Mrs. Bird attended
Monday's meeting of council
to explain her situation to
members. She called Morris
Livestock Evaluator Car-
men Craig to her farm on Lot
20, Con. 7, Jan. 4 to examine
a ram which, she claimed,
had been injured by dogs.
The injury has caused the
ram to become sterile, Mrs.
Bird said, and she demanded
compensation for the animal
from council.
In his report to council,
Mr. Craig said the ram had a
mark on its belly when he
examined it, but he did not
WIIVd AM 4-11
By Simon Alton
The Wingham 4-H club
held its firstpeeting at the
town hall Monday at 4 p.m.
We assembled around the
table and wrote down the
members' names and in-
troduced ourselves and
answered the roll call. Mrs.
Darlene Wattam then ex-
plained the club require-
ments. She also read the
meeting and had us fill in
the blank and highlight the
important words.
Everyone then washed
their hands and set out to
make the following recipes:
Pumpkin Soup, Scotch Eggs,
Irish Soda Bread and Maple
Baked Apples.
Mrs. Verna Brown went
over the home assignments
and explained how they are
to be answered. It was
decided Mary Smits will be
president and secretary and
the position of press reporter
will be rotating. -We tried the
recipes made and they were
enjoyed by all.
The next meeting will be

hall.
believe that could cause the
animal to become sterile.
But he suggested that if Mrs.
Bird could get a
veterinarian's certificate
stating the ram's sterility
was caused by an attack by
dogs, she should be com-
pensated $200 for the ram,
minus the value of its car-
cass.
Council decided to concur
with Mr. Craig's suggestion
and asked Mrs. Bird to have
a veterinarian examine the
animal in question.
In other _ business, council
approved an application for
a severance from Mel
Jermyn of the third con-
cession. Mr. Jermyn wishes
to sever a parcel of land
from his property to start a
farm machinery repair
business. Council had no
objections to the severance
since it is farm -related.
An application for a drain
on the north part of Con. 7,
Lot 1, was received from
-Dale Whitfield. Council
appointed Dawson and
Johnston, an engineering
firm from Stratford, to in-
vestigate the drain.
Mary Lazenby once again
will count dogs in Morris
Township for the fee of $1.45
per animal. Two other ap-
plications were received, but
council selected Mrs.
Lazenby's because it was the
lowest bid.
Council made several
donations at the meeting:
$300 to the Wingham and
District Association for the
Mentally Retarded; $25 to
the new Belgrave Brownie
pack; $25 to the Ontario
March of Dimes; and, $10 to
the Huron County Historical
Society.
The next meeting of
Morris council is scheduled
for March 7 at 10 a.m.

the ladies of Job's wife who
seemed to have no name of
her own, and asked those
present if they would like to

for example. Every good gift
comes from the light, she
said and God permits sin and
suffering, but asks us to trust
him and pray for the gift of
