CONFERENCE The Fall Conference of the Stratford-Huron Presbyterial of the W.M.S. was held in Knox Church, Cranbrook, on Friday, October 20, with a morning and afternoon session. Approximately 60 registered from 9:30 -10 a.m. with Mrs. Leslie Knight and Mrs. Murray Crawford in charge. Yvonne Knight and Julie Mitchell led in a hymn-sing at both sessions with Mrs. Stewart Steiss as the pianist. Words of welcome were given by the minister, Rev. Steve Webb and greetings from Presbytery from Rev. Roger McEachern of Shakespeare. The W.M.S. presi­ dent, Mrs. Stuart Stevenson exten­ ded a welcome to all. Rev. Lucie Milne and Jean Edmunds gave an interesting sketch of the background “The Philippines’’. All partook of a box lunch in the basement with cookies and beverage supplied by Cran­ brook. In the afternoon devotions were led by Avonton and special music was provided by Monkton. The guest speaker, Barbara Woodruff talked on “The World of Islam’’ providing information on the new study. Offering was received by Laura Strickler and Brenda Perrie and dedicated by Eleanor Steven­ son. The meeting ended with a social time in the basement over coffee, tea and cookies. W.I. MEETING The October meeting of the W.I. was a work session. The members worked on photocopying several of the Tweedsmuir history books sort­ ing pictures, and bringing some of the information up to date. This proved to be an interesting and at times amusing job even if it did involve quite a lot of plain hard work. When a copy is finally put in the library it is to be hoped that many will check to see if their relatives are there, and on the right page. PEOPLE Word was received of the death of a former Cranbrook resident, Mrs. Alf King, on October 12 in Brantford in her 82nd year. She was the former Edith Smalldon, only daughter of the late Harry Smalldon and Mary Brown. She grew up in the home now occupied by the Gary Evans family and attended the Cranbrook school, S.S. No. 7. She is survived by one brother, Harold of the Callander Nursing Home, Brussels, three sons, four daughters, 25 grand­ children, and 15 great-grandchild­ ren. She was predeceased by her husband Alf in July, 1988 and two brothers, Will in Indiana, and Jack of St. Johns, Mich. The funeral was held Monday, Oct. 16 in Brantford.

CRANBROOK 4H CLUB The third meeting for the Cran­ brook 4H club was held on October 16 at the home of Nancy Vanass. Our goof In a cutline in last week’s Citizen we incorrectly identified a long­ time member of the Huron Pioneer Thresher Association. The presen­ ter of the trophy for best gas engine from the 1930 to 1950 period was John Ellacott, presenting the tro­ phy that bears his name. The Citizen regrets this error. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1989. PAGE 25. The meeting was opened with the 4H pledge. The minutes of the last meeting were read and a cover design was chosen. The roll call was answered. Guest speakers from St. John’s Ambulance were introduced: Deb­ bie Trollope and Betty Graber told what to do in several emergency situations. They told members the most important thing to do was to remain calm and not panic. Members all practised posi­ tioning an unconscious person. The Perfect fit Anna and Edythe Snell were just two of the many people who took advantage of the bargains offered at the Harvest Bonanza in Blyth United Church last week.
