'Good news from above' Balloon -launching must be a popular pastime in certain parts of Michigan, judging from the number which seem to be floating to earth in this area. Recently Archie Walker, a Brussels -area farmer, found a deflated balloon bearing a message while preparing to plant corn in a field at the back of his farm. One side of the tag says "Good News from Above", followed by a call to salvation and a scripture reference, while the other side identifies the launcher ac Stacy Gearing of Water- vliet, Michigan, and says the balloon was launched from Midway Baptist Church on May 15. Mr. Walker found the balloon in his field three days later. He sent a letter of notification, as requested, and hopes to get an answer back, he said. He reported that he checked a map of Michigan and found the launching site, which is identified as 10 miles northeast of Benton Harbor, is pretty well straight across Lake Huron in a southwesterly direction.

Devotions, based on scripture from Genesis 12, verses one to 13, were led by Mrs. John Irwin who also led in prayer. She read two poems, "A Mother's Love" and "Mother and Daugh- ter". The roll call, "How to become an educated con- sumer", was answered by 15 members. The motto; "One way to keep from losing your shirt is keeping your sleeves rolled up", was given by Mrs. Elmer Harding. ` She used Adelaide Hoodless as her example. After the death of her child, she became in- volved with helping to organize The Women's Institute. The first meeting was held February 19, 1898. She also encouraged the teaching of domestic science in Canadian schools. A panel discussion followed on producer - consumer relations, with Bob Montgomery of CKNX as moderator. Mrs. Sharon Agla spoke on behalf of the milk producer. She said that milk with a higher per- centage of butterfat and a higher percentage of solids has a much better flavor. Mrs. Harding represented the pork producers. She said the largest shipments of pork go to Japan. The Japanese. people like lean pork. Some pork also goes to the United States. Mrs. Joyce Lockie was the panel member for the consumer. She feels the consumer is not aware of the money tied up in a farm operation. He also fails to realize that , the middleman fares very well, too. Mr. Montgomery summed up the points following the discussion. Mrs. Agla thanked him and presented him with a gift. It was decided the June meeting will be an afternoon meeting, held in the com- munity hall June 15 at 1:30. All former Institute mem- bers are cordially invited, as it is the 80th anniversary.
