Deer hunt over
The deer hunt is over, and
from . what this correspon-
dent has been able to learn,
the- Consitt party had the
most__ success, with two
bucks and a doe. The gang
huntingfrom the ChesSells
got one doe, and Ken Parke
shot. a buck. And then there
were the does who may have
watched Paul Stephenson's
party unload their guns and
settle down to eat their
lunch. That's when they
decided it was a good time to
get up and move out to safer
territory.
Most hunters :take a holi-
day from shaving, but those
who stayed with us broke
with tradition this year and
shaved at least once in the
three days. Could it have
some connection with the
female conservation officer
who was working in the
area?
Special music
A singing around the piano
and organ at Marjorie
*Hayter's home recently
resulted in some special
music at our church service
on Sunday. A group of six
peolile sang "HoW Great
Thou Art".
At the Remembrance ser-
vice around the cenotaph,
wreaths were laid by reeve
Tom Consitt, veteran Walter
Smith, and Master of the
Orange Lodge, Barry
Taylor.
Something in the air?
What ' is there in Varna
that attracts cattle? Last
year it was Don Brodie's
cattle, who paid us a visit,
this time they belonged to
Bob Stirling. Something had
apparently been chasing
them during the night of a
week age, Sunday, as they
broke down` a fence to get
out. Some of them came
throtagh Varna before
daylight and were found
Monday morning at Mery
Golden
No doubt the snow flurries
sent everyone scurrying for
boots and mitts this mor-
ning.
Monday evening films
were shown followed by
refreshments.

Make donations
"Mutuality in Mission"
was the theme of the
worship and study at the
November meeting of the
United Church Women. The
filmstrip "Eyes to See" was
shown. A short Remem-
brance service was also
held, when a Candle of
Peace was lighted and the
song "Let There Be Peace
on Earth" was sung. Mary
Ostrom, Sharon Chuter,
Barb Consitt and Mary
Chessell were on the
program committee. Barb
was absent, as the Warden's
banquet was the same night,
and she replied to the toast
to the ladies at their dinner.
Eleanor McAsh and Ber-
nice Reid reported on the ex-
cellent workshops they
attended in Blyth on
Wednesday, where Hugh
McCollum, editor of the
Observer and Dr. Jewitt
Parr, secretary of
Stewardship were leaders.
Mrs. Helen Smith of
Stewardship also' spoke. It
has been learned, from this
workshop and from a letter
from -Mrs. Smith, that the
Mission and Aervice Fund is
far short of 'what it needs
because of inflation and un-
employment. Dr._Parr said
that a million dollars could
be raised if everyone who
gives to Missions were to
give $5.00.
Thirty-nine percent of the
members don't give to mis-
sions at all. In contrast,
Dorothy Ostrom reported
envelope givings for M & S
were up substantially this
year in our U.C.W., with $400
already forwarded.
Donations of $40.00 to the
London Mission and $25.00 to
Seeds for Africa were made.
'the Youth Group. will be
given any help they require
to send some of the
members to Toe Alpha's
Christmas Conference in
Hamilton.
Plans were made to buy a
gift for Margaret Aldington,
who was an active member
of our church a number of
years ago, when she lived
here. She is being married in
Petrolia on December 20.

while utilizing the new
device, which can clock
oncoming vehicles from as
