Varna hosts 135 UCW
by Mary Chessell
Attendance at the ]8th
annual rally of East
Huron Region of Huron -
Perth United Church
Women was the highest in
several years with 135
registered. It was held in
Vthlat, with coffee and
dessert served prior to
the meeting.
Theme of the program
was "I Am' a Promise"
from the song that •was
written especially for the
International Year of the.
Child. The program
opened with the Ukeleles
Unique group under the
direction of Doris
McKinley singing this
song. The program was
interspersed . with bther
numbers from them as
well. Doris led the
congregation in a sing-
song. Mrs. Holland, Mrs.
Livingstone and Mrs.
Parr of •Wesley -Willis,
Clinton, led the worship..,
service.
Anna Keys, regional
president, drew attention
to the beautiful In-
ternational Year of the
Child banners which were
made by some of the
Brucefield Sunday School
classes and explained the
significance of each of the
symbols.
It has been said "You
should treat your
children as you would
your friends". In a funny
skit which was written by
Erma Bombeck, the
Londesboro U.C.W.
showed how bad it would
sound it we talked to our
friends as we talk to our
children: However, when
Mother tried talking to
Sonny like a friend, he
felt pretty insecure.
The treasurer's report,
given by. Mrs. Grace
Drummond, showed
Huron -Perth Presbytery
of the church •at 53.9
percent of ,their mission
and service objective at
the end of September.
Donald Keillor and
Jane Hoy of the Centre
for Children and Youth,
which is located at the
chiropractic office
building in Clinton, were
the guest speakers on the
topic "Children and the
Family". ColmsOlor
this centre he spent
over 3,000 hours in the
past year in direct
counselling of parents
and children, and many
more hours in telephone
counselling, travelling,
training of other can-
munity workers and as
consultants to other
agencies and school staff.
Their success is
measured in the number
of families who come for
aWstance on the
recolnmendation of
others who have found
them helpful and families
who return for coun-
selling after they have
moved out of the area.
Donexplained that
children learn from their
parents in their early
months what to expect
from life and reflect it in
their attitudes to others
and their self-confidence
or lack of confidence.,
Changes in a family will
sometimes cause a crisis.
Children usually know
when something is wrong
and are upset when they
don't know what it is.
Jane listed some of the
changes we face which
can lead to crisis
situations – marriage,
first child, second child,
teenage years, first child
leaving home, last child
leaving, etc. They
compared the work they
do with a fire where the
smoke is s thick it's
impossible to 4find the
source of the fire. They
help to clear away the
smoke. When people can
see where' the source of
theirproblem is, they can
take measures to over-
come it.
Ari invitation was
accepted from Bayfield
UCW to hold the rally
there next year.

speaker at Liosnen
C urch Anniversary.
T ere Was a large
co
ngregation present for
the ocCasion. Rev.
Johnston recounted many
of the illnesses of the
church today in vivid
language -- for instance
"cirrhosis of the giver",
and listed the remedies
for them as found in the
Bible.
He strongly criticized
the contention, often
heard in religious
broadcasts, that once
saved, one can no longer
be a sinner, calling it
"rubbish". Even Paul
bemoaned the fact that he
often did the very things
he knew he should not do.
He pointed out that
medicine goes down
easier with a spoonful of
sugar, and found long
faces and black gowns on
the clergy out of keeping
with the verse in
Proverbs which praised a
merry heart and coun-
tenance.
The choir, under the
direction of Anna Keys,
sang the anthem "In the
Stars His Handiwork I
See". The Junior Choir
was accompanied by
ukeleles for their anthem.
Julie Armstrong was the
soloist and ''delighted
everyone with her lovely
lyric soprano voice.

a sellout crowd at their
dance at Hully Gully on
Saturday night. The door

went to Cliff Henderson of
Brucefield. Spot dance
prizes were won by Clare
McBride and Betty
Young and Chester and
Isobel Sturdy.

Discussion began with
each woman coidOleting
the statement: "Hospital
is...", Many interesting
reactions were give'n, and
it was found that the
mother who is informed
and confident about
breastfeeding, had a
most satisfactory stay in
the hospital with her
baby.
Recommendations by
the Canadian Paediatric
Society were reviewed.
These included drug-free
delivery, nursing from
birth, and rooming -in,
which were suggested as
hospital routines which
would increase breast-
feeding.
