Walton women enjoy, success Walton by Patty Banks 887-6860 Jean Bewley had the job for two years. Marie McGavin took over and recalls all the wonderful help and advice she received from some of the older members. Edith Wey then had her turn and was very involved in various positions in the church. Marilyn McDonald had her turn in 1979 and remembers the The Walton United Church Women (UCW) were all smiles and very delighted at the turnout of their first Country Luncheon and card day held Feb. 1. Thanks to all those who attended and hope to see you again at the next dinner on March I. The Walton UCW held its Febru- ary meeting beginning with a pot luck lunch. Following the meal Gloria Wilbee and Kathleen Williamson led the worship. Gloria chose to tell about S. Valentine who was a Christian during 300 A.D. when it was quite dangerous to be one. He was sentenced to death for not worshipping the emperor. The Jailer's daughter began visiting him and it was just before his death that he wrote her a note and signed it, "Your Valentine". Phyllis Mitchell, president, wel- comed former members - Pat Bennett of Brussels; Jean Bewley, Brussels; Maxine Marks, Seaforth; Pauline Bennett, Seaforth; Mary McCall, ' Seaforth; and Dorothy McNichol, Seaforth. Phyllis handed the meeting over to Edith Wey who is incharge of Archives and she went down Memory Lane naming all of the past presidents of the U.C.W. from 1962 on. The very first president was Annie Reid and Pauline Bennett was the secretary with Leona McDonald treasurer. Pauline remembers the fun they had on churchicnics. That year the women helped purchase the two new furnaces. Phyllis Mitchell was next in line for the presidency and she recalls the time Rev. Charles Higinbothom got his gown caught in the furnace fan. Then there was the time when all the silverware fell making a terrific noise and Mrs. Higinbothom, Charles' mother, who was sitting upstairs waiting for church to start said in her Scottish voice, "There goes Charley up the chimney!" Florence McGavin was president from 1966-67. She was reported to be one who would help a person keep on track, calming when one would blow their cool. Vera McDonald took the job next, fol- lowed by Grace Roe and in 1972 4 music nights that began that year. In 1982 Viola Kirkby was elected and after two years Helen Craig when the red carpet was placed upstairs and she had written a poem about the event and it was read at the annual meeting.

RRSP's INVESTING SMARTLY ction This year like every other year you will see on TV and read in the papers and hear on the radio that this bank or trust company, have the best rate for your RRSP money. There is even one Mutual Fund company that says they OUTPERFORM! My question is who? They certainly did not outperform PRUDENTIAL and if you check with many mutual fund companies they were not even close to bettering their returns. But they still say they outperform. WHO? The banks that's easy. Maybe Trimark should reword it and say we outperform the banks? No one fund will be the best fund to invest in year in year out. The leading fund one year may not be in the top 20 the next year. It's human nature to jump on a high rising fund or stock but it's usually too late by the time you join in, most of the profits have been made, the smart way to invest is to buy into a family of funds that are AVE AVERAGE iN PERFORMANCE EVERY YEAR.
