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.

Prudential mutual funds make headlines!
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. As follows:

Why have Prudential mutual fund sales increased by more than 700 per cent in last few
years? And why are Prudential funds making headlines in major financial newspar rs across
the country? Quite simply because of our outstanding returns and top notch investment
managers. in fact, Veronika Hirsch, Manager of Prudential's Natural Resource Fund, The
Prudential Growth Fund and The Prudential Precious Metal Fund was featured in an article in Investor's
Digest recently.
One of the key questions the Digest asked Veronika was if she took her own advice. Does she have shares in
Prudential funds? Veronika's response..."Absolutely, Absolutely..." Now that inspires confidence. Not only
do millions of people around the world rely on the 'strength of The Rock' but so do Prudential employees.
This confidence is well deserved. Pnidential mutual funds have provided exceptional returns in recent years.
And, with today's low interest rates on GiCs and term deposits, you'll find our
mutual funds can provide the performance boost you need.
Give yourself the edge, invest in Prudential mutual funds today. You can take
advantage of this terrific opportunity for as little as $25 a month. While you're at it,
ask your agent for a computerized personal retirement plan with tax savings and
investment strategies. it's absolutely (reel
