(Staff Photo) Birds, flowers, campfire form indoor picnic setting WROXETER—Carrying goodies, some hot, some cold, all delicious, the members of the United Church Women gathered at the church for an indoor picnic. A flower -strewn path, patio lights, cedar branches, a campfire of wood and candles, a recording of birds singing and lots of imagination made it a success. After supper, Mrs. Bonnie Lock- wood and Mrs. Marilyn Elgie, dressed as Indians, chose as their theme, "The Native Heritage". Marilyn told the story of the oak leaves. The red oak, with its sharp- er indented edge, could cut and bleed and cause concern but the white oak, with softly curved edges, denotes peace. The ladies were divided into groups and each group chose a bog containing an article found in nature, such as branch, striped stone and maple leaf. A question about each was answered with a story. This proved very interesting. Bonnie read sections of "Desider- ata" and an Iroquois prayer. A campfire 3ong, "Kum Ba Yah", was sung and a Blackfoot prayer read in unison. Marilyn read a story about the natives' struggle to survive in a white man's world. The offering was -received by Marilyn and dedi- cated by Bonnie. A singsong, fol- lowed by prayers by Bonnie and Marilyn, completed the worship. Some members shared poems, games and stories which all enjoyed. A highlight of the evening began with a walk down the flow- ered path by Mrs. Mildred Coup - land, Mrs. Carol Pyke and Mrs. Cindy Hutchinson.
