Taylor convener
ber Goforth meeting
Id Taylor was
of the November
Of the Goforth Eve-
'tt diary and introduc-
worship service with a
+Il: to worship.
"Mirror, Mirror, On The
Wall" was the title of the
devotional presented by
Mrs. Kenneth McKague_ She
said many people have trou-
ble liking themselves and not
many would believe the mir-
ror if it said, "Yon are the
fairest of them all". She
compared her audience to
Charlie Brown of the
"Peanuts" comic strip who
feels so inferior. "If he knew
the value of the human body,
he would feel even worse,"
Mrs. McKague said; continu-
ing to point out that the body
contains enough fat to make
seven bars of soap, enough
iron -to make two nails,
enough salt toseason a hard-
boiled egg, enough lime to
whitewash a chicken coop
and enough sulphur to.dflea.
_a dog. Chemically, the
human body is worth 51.69_
In spite of this, we•can love
ourselves, the speaker said.
She stressed that each per-
-son has a handicap and in
this International Year of
Disabled Persons it is tinpor-
tant that we learn to accept,
love and forgive ourselves so
we can accept, love and
forgive others. Mrs: John
Norman read passages of
scripture proving that all are
valuable in God's sight_
Mrs. McKague said there
are three • types of love, the
kind that says "I love you
because...", that which says
-I love you if...." and the
love that says "I love you ii-ij
spite of...". God's love for us
is the third kind- He loves us
in spite of sins and weak-
nesses and therefore we
should be able to love our-
selves_
Mrs. Murray . Underwood
sang a solo, vIte Touched
Me", accomphnied by Mrs.
Don Robertson. 'Mrs: John
Mann led in prayer.
The theme, "international
Year of Disabled Persons",
was presented by the guest
speaker, Miss Lavonne
Ballagh. Continuing on the
same topic as was presented
In the worship, she urged
each member to.
acknowledge and accept the
handicap in herself, making
her more able to reach out to
the handicapped in their
need. She spoke of many
ways she, aS a physically
handicapped person, needs
others and urged' the
members to help the handi-
capped participate intlife.
Mrs. Taylor, vice presi-
dent, conducted the busi-
ness. During the fellowship
hour Mrs. John Marin and
Mrs. Leonard Phillips
demonstrated Christmas
decorations.

volved in evangelism," Eric

Box
A succe`csful auctaon clos-
ed the meeting
to the school boards. There is
a declining enrollrneat in,the
schools and also a ideciining
population in the county
which' affects the assess-
ment. -
There is not the industrial
growth here as in them ban
centres, which means declin-
ing grants from the province
which creates a tax problem.
The road system is a big
cost, as is policing and -there
seems -to be a need for much
more policing than there wa;a
20 years ago
Other expenditures to the
town include: debenttfres_
fire. recreation, parks. day
care and garbage collection;
to name a few.
The town collects money
from taxes, but the majority
comes froni the provincial
government and fines and
rent as well.
Refreshments were served
by the hostesses, Mrs.
Charles Shiell, Mrs. Reta
Haselgrove • and Anne
Wilson_
