The Citizen, 1987-12-02, Page 33THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1987. PAGE 33. Blyth UCW hears of refugees The worship service of the Blyth U .C. W. at the Nov. 26 meeting was conducted by Candice Howson and Evalena Webster. They based their meditation on Bible verses from Matthew, Exodus, and Deu­ teronomy. Mrs. Webster, convenor of Community Friendship, took an interesting approach to a study of refugees in the Human Family. There are 10 million in the world. Four members took the parts of four refugees of different ages, locations and backgrounds and read about their hardships and persecution under dictatorship and military rule; and privileges enjoyed after arriving in democra­ tic countries. Evalena read an account from the U.C. Observer of Mama Nancy Pocock's - methods ofhelping refugees in Toronto. She works from her own home, has helped hundreds of displaced people find lodging, and has built a network of refugee helpers from Mexico to Toronto despite the fact that refugee counselling can be­ come a criminal act. Susan Howson, president, read an article she had come across stating a Christian's Christmas pledges for this day and age. The first was about gift giving - to remember “who really needs my gifts.” Secretary Feme McDowell read the minutes of the June and Sept. Executive meetings; and read correspondence: a letter of appre­ ciation for gifts received before leaving Blyth and family news from Joanne Bauman of St. Thomas; a thank you expression from Cather­ ine Caldwell, secretary of the Board of Stewards, for money received; a thank you letter from Rev. David Woodall of Ontario St. Church, Clinton for various forms of help received for the United Church camp; a thank you from Adeline Campbell for a card at the time of her illness; and a request from the Hall Board for a U.C.W. member to sit on that Board. Mary Howson thanked the committee who had assisted her in forming the executive for 1988-89 and read the list of the 28 positions filled. The installation will take place at the Dec. 14 Christmas meeting at the manse. Treasurer Edelgard Hoba’s comprehensive financial report handed out made g-uod reading. It covered receipts and expenditures from Sept. 24 - Nov. 26. The “McClure" Dinner Theatre, the last project for 1987, was found to be very rewarding. The Evening Units’ provision of trays of attractive and delicious Christmas petit fours gave the 23 members in attendance their first, perhaps, generous smacks of Christmas goodies to come.
