The table was tastefully decorated with a red cloth and valentines in keeping with Valentine’s Day. Mary Holland continued on in the study of South Africa and reviewed a story from the January Observer, entitled, “Churches against Aparthied.” It was the story of a minister from Hamilton who visited South Africa and saw first-hand the suffering the blacks are enduring.

Co-leader Bea Chambers took over the business and thanked all who had taken part and read a poem entitled “The Cross in my Pocket”. After the roll call was taken and reports read, Bea announced the “World Day of Prayer” March 3 to be held in the Catholic Church in Blyth. Grace was sung and a lovely lunch followed served by several of the ladies. Where’s the money coming from Continued from page 7 whole trail would be astronomical.
