Fire Riders in the Ride to Conquer Cancer Brenda Radford Special to the News Record The world is full of those old sayings we've grownup hear- ing from generations before us. Sort of, you know, my mother always used to say that! Their origins have always intrigued me; maybe you, too. I mentioned this to my sister who, lo and behold, had a book about them. For instance did you know that a cobweb is so named because the English call a spi- der a cob? So I give you a say- ing this week, ponder on it and I'll explain next week. Where did the expression, a shot of whiskey, originate? A couple of items from other newspapers this past week got my attention. The first from The Citizen. Jeff Josling, a member of the North Huron Fire Depart- ment, is the organizer of a local cycling team participat- ing in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in mid-June. He is rid- ing out of a feeling of helpless- ness as his father battles can- cer for a second time.

Londesborough United Church The United Church of Canada celebrated Rural Life Sunday on May 17. During the children's time with Rev. Fletcher the boys and girls did some gardening and along with Terry blessed their efforts. Each put a hand into the tray of dirt, two chil- dren planted the seeds and everyone sprinkled water over the seeds. Through the blessings the children learned that each seed car- ries a mystery of life and that water is the earth's most pre- cious liquid and we must learn to protect and con- serve it. A cute little quote in the order of service tells it all. "Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples, don't count on harvesting golden delicious" - Bill Meyer Terry also noted that sci- entists have identified a bac- teria in soil that is an antide- pressant; which must be why so many folk find peace and purpose in gardening. The senior choir offered the hymn/anthem Blest Are They. Supporting scriptures for the message, growth, were Genesis 1:29 and Mark 4: 1-9. From Genesis we are reminded that God created humans to take care of His garden earth. In Mark Jesus is the sower of scripture to men. Rev. Fletcher noted that life for people in rural areas changes with the seasons. Rural folk learn to live sea- sonally, accepting and enjoying those changes, the busy and the quiet. No one can dispute that rural living can be uncertain. On the other hand the millions of people who live in cities have no idea of how life is in the rural areas, they have lost sense of those seasonal changes. Life rolls endlessly on the same. Rural Sunday is also known as Rogation Sunday, which means to ask God's blessing for the work on the land. It is a time to praise God for creation, for those who work the soil and take pride in their work. Our duty is to be worthy stew- ards of that creation. The Sacrament of Bap- tism was celebrated Sun- day, May 24. On May 31 Londesborough United will hold confirmation and communion. 83461 RIVER MILL LINE, DUNGANON 148.
