It was another successful year. Another lady spoke about The Observer and the articles about the 35th anniversary of the UCW in the October issue. There are always good articles in The Observer, things that can be used as a basis for a meeting or a study group. It is certainly worth its price and then some. Two ladies from Trinity, Ashfield gave the devotional service on 'Patience", something that everyone needs and should use. The hymn O Master Let Me Walk with Thee was sung, followed by prayer.

She spoke and showed pictures of the school where she is teaching now. It is a little one room school that has been purchased and renovated to "the good old days". This school 'Brockeden' is used to teach classes as they were taught back in the 1880s. The teacher Mrs. Kramer, dresses in dresses of that day. The students who come for the day must also try to be in old- fashioned clothing. The boys always wear braces and the girls wear styles and often pinafores. It is really quite an experience for the children. She also showed that punishment (even with a strap) was allowable then. She demonstrated this by punishing Miss Marsh. Mrs. Kramer is certainly an excellent teacher and the audience showed their appreciation.

Water Works Superintendent Continued on page 23 How Come Nobody Ever Says They’re ‘Healthy As A Dog?’ One of the many misconceptions about exercise is that everyday activities like walking your best friend does little to improve your health. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The daily bound with 'Spot' is great for both of you. And, considering how eager he is to go whenever you are, says a lot about how little it takes to be active and feel good. Just 30 minutes a day, most days of the week, for a whole new leash...er, lease, on life. Of course, if you don't have a dog, there's nothing stopping you from taking yourself for a daily walk.
