CHAIR'DONATED — The Grand Bend Lionesses have donated this
$500 glider rocking chair to the Challenging Learning Needs Class
at the McCurdy Public School in Huron Park. Everyone in the class
loves the rocker which is not only therapeutic, but also is safe for
the classmates because it cannotbe tipped. Money for the -rocker
was raised by the Lionesses through their Trip of the Month draw.

Shower for Varna bride
By Joan Beierling
Joanne McBride, who is being mar-
ried on October 17, received many
lovely and useful gifts at a communi-
ty shower in Goshen Church on Tues-
day evening, September 29.
Margaret Hayter was master of
ceremonies, and introduced "Charlie
Farquhar" (Kate Keys) who gave
hetails of Joanne's horoscope in
Charlie's hayseed dialect. Margaret's
reading warned Joanne of the hidden
meanings in a farmer's request for
help. Several hilarious skits showed
her what married life is like.
The first one took place at
breakfast, with Anna Keys and Mar-
jorie Hayter portraying Joanne and
George. In her efforts to please him,
she served him one egg fried, and the
other scrambled but she scrambled
the wrong one.
In the Credit Union office, Helen
Keys played Joanne, and aunt Jean
( Peggy Keys) is her visitor. In the
rubber plant scene, Linda Keys and
, Nora Keys played George Regier and
his friend.Sandy Hayter was Joanne's
mother in the final skit. After giving
an unflattering description of her lost
husband to Missing Persons, she tells
them- to "oh, forget it".
Joanne Hayter did a tap dance
number. Elva Peck read the address
of good wishes and Joanne was
presented with her gifts. She
graciously thanked everyone and in-
troduced Mrs. Regier, George's
mother. She also invited everyone to
the reception at the Stanley Complex.
The ladies of Goshen served a
delicious lunch.

agency. She used to take supporters
of Father Abraham's work to India.
Seeing what their money was ac-
complishing gave them a special
feeling.
Jill, the girl who arranged the
itinerary, suggested that Jane
become a tour manager. Family
responsibilities prevented it then, but
when Jill transferred to Australia two
years ago, Jane accepted the
challenge.
Jane says that touring India is not
a holiday, it's an experience. No one
is prepared for exposure to the
millions of people and the poverty.
Being poor in India is normal, with no
stigma such as the poor experience
here. She warns tourists that begging
is an organized profession in the style
of the Mafia.
Hotel accommodations for tourists
are excellent, and a choice of Chinese,
Indian and Western food is served
buffet style. Only bottled drinks and
those made with boiled water are
safe. Most tourists get sick, but a call
to a doctor, who gives them an injec-
tion, soon has them healthy again.
An 18 -day tour of India costs about
$3,295. Much of it is through rural
areas, where 85 percent of the popula-
tion is still in agriculture. She had pic-
tures of deep snow in Kashmir. The
only heat the people had was their lit-
tle pot-bellied stoves.
Jane says the Sikhs who are enter-
ing Canada as refugees are from the
.best -educated and wealthiest class of
people in India. People are not
persecuted there as they are in many
countries, and the poor don't have the
money to leave. •
Jane is very fond of the Australian
people she has met, and liked the
country when she visited her office in
Sydney. Compared with India,
Canada, in spite of its problems, is a
wonderful country. Jane was in-
troduce by Margaret McClymont and
thanked by Doris Wilson.
During the business meeting, Joan
Beierling gave a report on the Huron -
Perth executive meeting. The annual
meeting in January will be held in
Wesley Willis Church in Clinton.
Those who attended the Fall Rally
in Bayfield reported they greatly en-
joyed the speaker, Neil Anderson of
Stratford. The Varna Singers con-
tributed special music and Barbara
Ann Parker sang. Joyce Dowson was
the song leader.
Varna will host the rally next year.
Motions were made in .regard to
planting trees in front of the manse
and replacing the stove and
refrigerator in the manse, and then
installing the old refrigerator in the
church kitchen. Goshen and Varna
Manse committees will be approach-
ed for their opinions.
The Thanksgiving worship service
was prepared and led by Margaret
Mcelymont, Dorothy Ostrom and
Doris Wilson. In Dorothy's medita-
tion, we gave thought to the amenities
we take for granted that would have
been unknown to those who lived in
so-called luxury not so long ago.
In place of our regular November
meeting. arrangements are being
made to see the McClure Story in
Blyth on Saturday afternoon.
