Les Shaw greeted worshippers at'
Knox United Church on Sunday,
May 4. Rev. Ethel Miner Clare
welcomed the congregation on Rural
Life Sunday.
The senior choir sang He Is My
Song. The organist was Elizabeth
Procter.
Dorothy Coultes of the memorial
hall committee presented a candle
holder, which was dedicated by the
families of Olive Bolt in loving
memory of Olive and for her love of
the church.
The responsive reading was taken
from Psalm 4.
For the children’s time Rev. Ethel
Miner Clare asked them what they
thought Rural Life Sunday meant.
They answered with farming,
agriculture and country.
Each child received seeds and
compacted earth in which to plant
their seeds. In three week’s time they
will bring the plants back to church
and share them with other people.
Doug Walker showed the children
the corn seed which will be planted
for the Belgrave Community
Foodgrains project.
After the children went downstairs
for Sunday School, Rev. Miner Clare
read the scriptures taken from Acts
3: 12-19, John 3: 1-7, and Luke 24:
36b-48.
The sermon related
children’s time.
Chris Cottrill and Carl Procter
took up the offering.
The congregation were asked to
take seeds home and when they grow
into plants to share them with
somebody else.
Newsletter items are to be given to
Ruth Gordon by May 18.
Following the service at Knox
United Church and the dedication of
the candleholder, John and Sheila

Community Club
sees display
of animal pelts
When the Belgrave Community
Club gathered for their regular
meeting on Friday, May 2 they were
impressed by the many large and
small animal pelts on display. Lome
Campbell welcomed everyone and
Louise Bosman introduced speaker
Esther Buck from the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority.
She had brought a great variety of
pelts and spoke of how their habitats
have been changing. The animals
that need large areas to survive in are
being forced to move further away
as farmers change their fence lines,
and cities and towns expand into the
countryside.
Ross Taylor also displayed some
of his beaver pelts and an albino
raccoon pelt.
Ms Buck said large black bears are
now being seen in more populated
areas. They will eat plant and animal
material, as do raccoons.
Ms Buck displayed a fisher, timber
wolf, coyote, muskrat, otter, fox,
lynx and.several others.
Ross spoke of how he had caught
the albino raccoon in this area and
the beaver in the surrounding area as
well.
They spoke of the problem with
the overpopulation of the deer herds
now, and the many car/deer
collisions that are happening.
Ms Buck also told of the
information days the authority has
with the local schools on water
safety.
She invited everyone to the
Maitland Valley
membership drive, and
day and barbecue at
Centre on June 25.
Ada Taylor thanked
for her interesting information.
During the business it was decided
to give a donation to the Belgrave
Arena board to go toward the
purchase oLnew ball uniforms for
the minor sports in the village. Plans
were completed for hosting cribbage
as a part of the senior games on
Tuesday, May 6; the birthday party
at Huronlea on Tuesday, May 13;
and the next shoot parties on May 9
and 25.
A committee was set up, headed
by Jim Coultes, to explore the
possibility of preparing a history of
the Belgrave community, and getting
it displayed.
The next meeting is June 6 in the
arena.
Ruth Johnston recently returned
home from the hospital after
undergoing surgery at University
Hospital in London and afterwards
in Wingham and District Hospital.
Friends and neighbours in the
community wish Ruth a speedy
recovery with-improved health.
Sincere sympathy is extended to
Ruth Johnston on the loss of her
sister-in-law, Lila (Mrs. Harvey)

prayers be with her.
