Wilson, low prizes by Susie Pollock and Ivan McClymont, Draw winners were Ruth Johnston, Margaret Thorn - dyke, Margaret McClymont, Mrs. Meyers and Annie Fink- beiner. Prizes were donated by Lodge members and Ed Gale. Anne McBride will speak at next Thursday's U.C.W. meeting- The subject is the home -for battered women being opened in Goderich. Remember the earlier meet- ing time of 8:00 p.m. Attendance at the luncheon and annual'meeting of Varna United Church congregation was disappointing. It was an interesting meeting, with good, open ' discussion of some of the concerns of members. Ivan McClymont led discussion before lunch on the strengths and weak- nesses of the church locally and generally, new ideas about practices in baptism and confirmation, and ways of expressing faith in Christ. A major concern was the lack of priority given the church by young people, why, and what programs would interest them, since they are the foundation the church will stand on in a few years. It was meeting suggested that a group made up of young people from several churches might meet with more enthusiasm. 'The children viewed a filmstrip upstairs and dis- cussed what changes they would like in Sunday School and Church. They presented an excellent report, read by Scott Kirton. Story time with Miss Brown was enjoyed very much. Some of their suggest- ions: they would like to greet people at the door, take up offering, learn more new songs, and trade places with the adults for one Sunday, that is, have,.the adults go to Sunday School while the children e have a church ser- vice. Rev. Wilena Brown was appointed chairman of the meeting and Bill McAsh recording steward. Chairman and secretary of the Board of Stewards this year are Mac Webster and Gordon Hill. Two new stewards are re- quired, with several names submitted to the board chair- man. Doris Wilson is the U.C.W. representative on the board. The trustees had the walls of the church repaired and the manse committee had some electrical and brick repairs made at the manse. Bernice Reid consented to continue as church treasurer. June Webster and Janet Webster were appointed aud- itors. Church organists are Mildred McAsh and Marjorie Hayter. Murdock Morrison and Bernice Reid will remain on the ministry and personnel committee and Ivan McCly- mont as Christian education committee chairman. An invitation to remain here was accepted by Rev. Brown. Rev. Gordon Pickell of Goderich will preach on Feb. 20 and 27 while Miss Brown is taking a Princeton University course and short holiday in Orlando. She ex- pressed her gratitude for the reconditioned Gestetner in her office, which works beau- tifully. Bernice Reid gave a very favourable financial report. U.C.W. reports from Doris Wilson, Margaret Hayter and Dorothy Ostrom showed a busyyear and a considerable amount of money donated to missions, church and com- munity needs. The Sunday School report was given by Julie Webster. There are 30 students. Be- cause of having to buy a year's lesson material' at one time, the U.C.W. gave them a donation. By the end of this year, they will likely be in a good financial position. Ivan McClymont reported a change to the Joy Curriculum for Sunday School. The New Curriculum books were do- nated to a new congregation in White Oaks, London. Mes- sengers, under the leader- ship of Janet and Janice Webster, had from eight to 15 children in attendance. There were two weddings, one funeral and three bap- tisms in the congregation this past year. There are 94 active resident members at present. b®wu©llll ©Ind c gw© THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JANUARY 28, 1983 — A15 "Body Language" is topic of sermon Correspondent BERTHA MttcGREGOR 262-2025 AMBER LODGE PRESENTS DEGREE Noble Grand Mrs. Marg- aret Consitt;\ resided for the meeting of Amber Rebekah Lodge assisted by Vice Grand Mrs. Margaret Upshall.

It re - Video games can't replace a good book BY PATRICIA RIMMER Even in a time when video games and television are really popular, it is still nice to cuddle up by the fireplace on a cold night with a good book. Lots of times it is really hard to put a book down. Think back a few years to the time when you were first learning to read. Naturally, you started with words and phrases such as "See Dick run" and cat and dog. Child- ren's books have changed a lot since 1 was a child learning to read. Characters such as Dick and Jane "have been -replaced by Ernie and Bert or Miffy, Snuffy or Poppy Pig. 1 went to the Huron County Library branch here in town earlier this week and talked to the librarian, Trudy Broome. She took me downstairs to the children's part of the library ad2o ft@w2, © 5n-bvw@Gm - and gave me a good indica, tion of what kinds of books children like. The library has rows and rows of children's stories. Amongst these book shelves are tables for colouring and reading. There are sections in the room for pre-schoolers and other sections for teens. Mrs. Broome has a good idea of what many of the books are about and can help a reader find the book he/she is looking ror. Pre-schoolers like Dick Bruna's books. These are good books with simple words and pictures. These books Wright be good for children learning to count etc. There are characters in the books such as Miffy, Snuffy and Arc you controlling .your Life Insurance - - - - or is your Life Insurance controlling you.?

Another set of books that are excellent for pre-school- ers are the Berenstein Bears books. These are humorous, entertaining stories that have been around ever since 1 was a kid. They feature a mother and father bear and their son. 'The cfiymfng of the words and the funny situations that the bears get into really catch the child's interest. DETAILED For children from the ages four to seven, Richard Scarry's books are really popular. These books are more detailed than Bruna's books and contain more ac- tion. Dr. Seuss' books are also good for this age group. Mrs. Broome suggested that they are not as popular as, they were a few years ago. Books such as Cat in the Hat have really catchy rhythm and can't help but be popular with young ones. The Children's Television Workshop publishes some good books based on the television program Sesame Street. These books are just as popular as the show itself. The children are familiar with the Sesame Street characters such as Big Bird and Cookie Monster so they like the books. Television has a great inllueoce on the books that childrdn sign out. A couple of years ago Barbapapa was popular on television so the Barbapapa books were hard to )rind at the library since they were always circulating. Smurf books are as popular now as Barbapapa books were then. A lot of kids ask for Smurf hooks, Mrs. Broome says. Another set of books for readers seven to eight years old arc also based on a TV series. The Burgess Books at the library are based on the television program Green Forest. Actually, Green Forest is based on the books. SIMPLE Other books that are popu- lar for young readers include Anna- Virin's Elsa's Bears and Mercer Mayer's books. Th se are simple books that ar e easy to understand. The Mayer collection has some books that feature monsters with funny names. These friendly monsters go over Wali Wit11" dtttijsrelt.'°' For children one and two years of age, the librarians recommend "board books". These are short books that have pictures instead of words. Kids really enjoy the records at the library as well. Older children from ages 10 to 14 might enjoy the -"Gordon Korman books based on two boys going to school. These are contemporary pa- perbacks and are easy to relate to, Horse stories are also favourites of children in this age range. 1 remember when I was about ten years old, Scott Corbett was my favourite writer. I was glad to find out that his books are still popular and the library has a good selection of them. The Anne of Green Gables series and Little House on the Prairie series are still big hits, for girls in this age group. For boys seven to 12, mysteries such as the Hardy Boys and the Three Investiga- tors (Alfred Hitchcock) are very popular. And we mustn't forget Judy Blume's books for pre -teen girls. They are very popular at the library. ROMANCE? There is a new 28 book series at the library for pre -teen and. teenage girls. It is called the "Sweet Dream" series and is like junior • R.R.S.P Harlequin romances. Teens seem to signout paperback books more than hard covers. Novels such as The Exorcist and Flower in the Attic are real favourites, The boys tend to favour science fiction, westerns and sports stories while the girls Ive to read romances. Books about the royal family, the wedding and Princess Diana go over big with all ages, Mrs. Broome added. 3n Saturday afternoons at 1:30 thel•iibrary has a story hourfgriiJdreh between the ages -6f Th?eo'to eight. Ap- proximately sl -2O children come for_the s ngs, games, stories and crafts. It is a good chance for kids to meet new friends and learn new things. This hour of fun is absolutely free. During the March break the library intends to have an activity planned for school age children. This will be announced at a later date. The library is filled with books for all types of readers. It -is a good place. to go for research on a project or just for equipment. The librarians are always very friendly and helpful in choosing the book you are looking for. Have you read a good book lately? This week you may have noticed that a lot of high school students have been out of classes. This is because exams were written last Fri- day, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The students have P.D. (professional de- velopment) days on Thursday and Frith y. Monday the second semester begins.
