John Stewart, CMO Clerk-Administrator Township of Wirth Huron 357-3550 The Londesboro United Church Women began their evening together on Monday, Oct. 15 with dessert. Barb Knox, chairperson of the board of directors for Camp Menesetung, was the guest speaker. She offered much information about the work- ings of the camp. Knox related that she had very limited connection to Camp Menesetung when she joined the board two years ago. It has been an enjoyable learning period and she has been most impressed by her experience and observations since then. A Christian theme is chosen for each summer and that theme is cen- tral to all activities throughout each day of all of the six camping weeks. Although Camp Menesetung is essentially a United Church camp, not all of the campers or counsellors are affiliated to a United Church. Actually 30 per cent of its campers are referred by the Children's Aid Society. Camp facilities are also rented out for use by school, retreat groups, and day gatherings. In the summer of 2001, the camp complied with Ministry of Health regulations regarding water supply and built a pumphouse to house an updated water pumping system. Engineers are still investigating the best new major septic design for the camp. A devotional time was conducted by Florence Snell, Betty Fisher and Brenda Snell suggesting that one should recognize and give thanks for those blessings/surprises which come from unexpected places. This theme was repeated in a story read by President Joan Whyte. A mission- ary in China found a much needed pair of eyeglasses in a crate of items shipped from Chicago. It seems The Master Carpenter used an ordinary carpenter in an extraordinary way. At the close of the meeting the 31NR warns of driving hazard Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) advises motorists to be extra cautious on the road at this time of year. "With the arrival of autumn, deer are particularly active as they cover more ground in search of food and suitable mates," said Brad Gerrie, enforcement supervisor of MNR's Guelph District Office. Deer rarely travel alone, so motorists who see one deer should be ready for the sudden appearance of more. As well, the normal caution deer take before crossing a busy road is not present during the rut . Motorists should be particularly care- ful when roads cross creeks and rivers, divide wooded corridors, bisect fence rows, or where field edges run perpendicular to the road and, of course, anywhere that deer crossing signs are posted. The most serious deer-vehicle acci- dents occur when a deer jumps out onto the road and the driver swerves to avoid the deer and loses control of the vehicle. Motorists are at less risk of serious injury if they hit the deer. Drivers seeing deer along a road should slow down and sound their horns in a series of short bursts. If deer are seen on the road at night, motorists should blink their head- lights.
