Varna UCW review book by local author
By JOAN BEIERUNG
Ruby Hill and Helen Taylor were
the hostesses and arranged the pro-
gram for the February meeting of
Varna U.C.W. held in Ruby's
home. There were 15 members
present.
Joan Beierling opened the meeting
with the poem "The Friend Who
Just Stands By". Following the sec-
retary and treasurer's reports, thank -
you notes were read from Shirley
Hill for her gift, the Lauries for the
rose honouring the birth of their
son Cameron, the Sparlings for the
gift for baby Melissa, Greg Taylor
for sponsoring his auendance at Toc
Alpha, and from the Visiting
Homemakers for our donation.
Bernice Reid reported that the
Board of Stewards is getting esti-
mates, etc. for new entrance doors
for the church. Joan reported on the
annual meeting she attended in
Clinton. Margaret Hayter and Deb
Rathwell also attended it. Mrs. He-
len Anderson of the Stratford area
was installed as Presbyterial Presi-
dent. Mrs. Ruth Axtmann is East
Huron president for the balance of
this term. The Spring Event is on
April 18 in Listowel. The Alma
College One -Day Event is on Sat.,
August 6 on the theme "Power for
Living". The guest speaker is Mu-
riel Stephenson, missionary to In-
dia.
Shirley Hill reported that we are
catering two- noon dinners this
month, as well as the Pancake Sup-
per on February 16. We decided to
accept a request to cater for a wed-
ding on October 1.
The devotional was on Patience
and Love, based on I Corinthi-
ans:13. Ruby and Helen then intro-
duced a review of Gwyneth Whil-
smith's book "Hear the Pennies
Dropping" with an amusing little
skit. Some things that impressed
Ruby when she read the book was
the way their faith helped the people
in the hard times of the depression,
and the way neighbours helped each
othcr, especially at times of birth,
sickness or death. She also told the
story of a shipment of raspberries
from B.C. with $2.50 in freight
charges owing, money which
Gwyneth's father didn't have. The
station agent released them, know-
ing the bill would eventually be
paid; and the blank cheque for a loan
from the bank for a railway carload
of potatoes --- when the bank man-
ager learned it was for $2,500 he
was very upset, but the potatoes
were distributed and the loan paid
off the same day. She was also im-
pressed by the fun and good times
that Gwyneth remembers having.
While our hostesses set out lunch,
we talked about our memories of
the depression, wartime rationing
and parcels for soldiers.
On Monday, a quilt belonging to
Vivian (Chuter) Boyce is being put
in at Ruth Johnston's home. All
quitters arc invited to help quilt it.
