word Love will be the roll call for

home of Mrs. W. Beacom.
Mrs. J. Smith led in Bible
Study lesson on the Life of Sarah.
It proved to be most informative
as she outlined the events that
portrayed the characteristics of
faith, love, loyalty and devotion of
this great woman. She was held in
high esteem by the Hebrew
people. This woman, who lived
127 years, presented us with the
great miracle works of the Bible.
The Study "Mission Impossible

discussion on the meaning of
Mission, each member was asked
to decide on her interpretation
and present it at the February

'The President offered Prayer to
bring the meeting to a close.
Refreshments were served.
Probably one of the worst
aspects of winter for many 'of us is
the ice that builds up on
sidewalks, , driveways and roads.
For homeowners, getting rid of
the ice requires the use of either
salt or urea. While salt is
fast-acting and most commonly
used by local government
agencies, homeowners should use
it very carefully and only when
necessary because it is very toxic
to plants and grasses, states
Burke McNeill, horticultural
specialist.
Salt should be spread
cautiously so that it cannot come
in contact with lawns. The
resulting slush should not be
allowed to run onto lawns or
around the roots of trees.
On the other hand, urea is a
nitrogen fertilizer, and may be
safely used to remove ice in areas
where plants are grown. The
resulting runoff can be utilized by
the plants or grass in the spring.
