Clinton News-Record, 1979-02-08, Page 11When you're storm -stayed, like many IIuron
County residents were last Monday during the mini -
blizzard that hit the area, what better way to spend
the morning than shovelling out your laneway, as
Mike and Josephine Semenluk of RR 5, Clinton did.

Carnival set for Varna people
By
Mary Chessell
We're hoping you have
your blades ready for the
Stanley Township Winter
Carnival, to be held on
Sunday afternoon at 2
p.m. Don't miss the girls'
hockey and men's
broomball - they're
usually pretty good en-
tertainment.
This weekend, besides
the Carnival on Sunday,
there's the Orange Lodge
dance at Hully Gully on
Saturday night.- Let's
hope the weather is a lot
better than it was on
Monday when I was
writing this.
George and Mary,
owners of the General
Store, had to postpone the
toboggan party and
wiener roast they had
planned for the area
school children because
of Sunday's stormy
weather. They hope to
have it a week from next
Sunday.
UCW meets
Sixteen members of the
Varna United Church
Women braved .the
blustery weather on
Thursday evening to
attend their meeting.
Bonnie Roy and Dorothy
Ostrom led the worship
service with a Love
theme. Dorothy read
from a featured article
"The Victims", by
Heather Menzies, in the
December issue of the
Observer. She spent nine
months travelling across
Canada to research the
problem of Canadian
unity for a book she has
.written "The Railroad's
Not Enough".
The date for the
Pancake Supper is
Tuesday, February 27, so
please keep this in mind,
or better still, mark it on
your calendar. An in:
vitation was received
from the Kippen ladies to
join them for the World
Day of Prayer service,
but it was felt, from past
experience, that at-
tendance would be poor
at the afternoon service.
Goshen church ladies
will be having' a joint
meeting and prayer
service with us on the
evening before the
Prayer Day. We tried this
last year, and found that
many more •women were
able to attend. Everyone
is welcome to join us for
this prayer meeting.
The quilt committee
reported on the progress
they have made on the
autograph quilt. Many of
the blocks are finished,
and help was requested to
cut out squares for the
picot edging.
The meeting concluded
with the benediction and
a social time.
+++
Attendance at the
Orange Lodge card party
was up from the first two
parties, with eleven
tables in play. Prizes for
high score went to Nettie
McClinchey and Jeff
Chuter. Consolation
prizes were won by jjazel
Watkins and Frank
McClinchey. The draws
were won by Bruce
McClinchey, Bill McAsh,
Jack Hunt and Mabel
McClinchey.
New members on the
Board, of Stewards ..of
Varna church are Blaine
Stephensonand Keith
Stephenson. The date for
the annual Pork Bar-
becue has been set for
June 20.
You sometimes read of
post offices receiving
letters which are so
poorly addressed that
they are difficult or
impossible to deliver.
One arrived in Varna the
other day, in a child's
very neat handwriting,
addressed to "My Cousin,
R.R. 1, Varna". In place
of the return address was
"Your Cousin".
Shelley Stephenson,
who had an ear operation
in Stratford Hospital on
Friday, was released
Saturday morning.

beautiful sight this year

4-H members help on
their final mark for

_ derful way to complete
the day was a wiener

The morning Scripture
reading was Psalm 34.
Special music was
presented by Joy Shiel'in

of angels of God and that

and chains were broken."
In the evening service,
Debbie Talbot followed
the Lord's command in
the waters of baptism.
The evening message
was from Romans 6
telling us to: Surrender
without any reservation
to the Lord Jesus; gnow
in your heart that when
Jesus died we died toss.
(the old nat..re thrown
off); Reckon it to be so;
Yield yourselves daily to
God; Obey ; from your
heart.
"For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God
is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord"

Dorothy Cox reported
progress in' accumulating
archives. A very old map
of Huron County- a gift of
Canon Paull was studied
with great interest. Dated
1862, the map is large
enough to contain the
names of every lan-
dholder in the county at
that time.
Consideration was
given to possible ad-
ditional purchases,
before the deadline set by
'New Horizons' for
winding up the affairs of
the Association in June,
when responsibility for
the Archives will revert
to the Bayfield Historical
Society.

BEAUTIFUL
& MEANINGFUL
Everyone wants to surround himself and his
family with objects of lasting beauty, meaning and
value - to own with pride and pass on as valuable
heirlooms to future generations. There can be no
better, heirloom than beautiful professionally
framed reproductions of the world's greatest art.
It isn't difficult to list the world's great artists
and their works. Their names spring
instantly to everyone's mind, because
what makes a fine artwork is
its ability to have a lasting impact
on each new generation.
Fine art reproductions of a
superior quality require
a framing treatment also of
timeless beauty. At the Raintree
we spa.cialize in the
calibre of fine
craftsmanship in creating
your personal heirlooms.
We offer
over 2,000 of the world's
greatest art achievements,
available through catalogues.
And an equally impressjve'
spectrum of '
framing treatments.
Naturally; the
finest•is'always a
gr6ater investment
initially. But what single
accessory in your home
will reward you
as much'and endure
the whims of 'fashion
so long.
