Ammoinummimir— editation at unit eating is ^ `sed on pu .,; `- of UCW FORDWICH — Mrs. Harold Doig presented a meditation based on the purpose of the United Church Women when the afternoon unit of the Fordwich UCW met in the Sunday School room on Thursday af- ternoon. She told the group that study can mean-mucliianore than studying lessons. and read scripture from St. John's Gospel. The first part of her meditation was en- titled "Is That You, Man?" and she told the story of Jesus calling Simon a rock; he would later become Peter. She explained that "Jesus sees in us things we didn't know were there". The second part of her meditation was entitled "We Need You, Man". The theme of the Bible is God's pursuit of man and He wants man to do His work. Theme of the meeting was "Witness and Study" and the worship and program were presented by Mrs. Wray Cooper and Mrs. Doig. The program waspresented under 12 headings, urging Christians to make Jesus their partner; seek wisdom, be a guide and leader; have a spirit of thanksgiving; render loving service; have reverence; be attractive; exercise self control; be loyal; seek unity; be kind; be happy and be cooperative. Mrs. Jack Wilson led in singing the hymn, "Let the Lower Lights be Burning" and as roll call, the ladies were asked to answer the question, "How Are You a Witness?". Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Doig presented a skit on "Gratitude". Mrs. Russell Nickel, unit president, presided for the business. She welcomed everyone and thanked the ladies for their program. Minutes were read by Mrs. Clarkson and the treasurer's report by Mrs. Cooper. The unit catered for the Brownie banquet on Tuesday and will visit the Fordwich Village Nursing Home on June 20. The meeting closed with a benediction by Rev. Cy Marzec and lunch was served by Mrs. Glenn Johnston, Mrs. Lorne Kelley and Mrs. E. Harding.

The board's education committee recommended the action after it had viewed and discussed the film, "Sharing and Caring". Parents from the Exeter area criticized the board at its May meet -for allowing the film_ to be shown to a Grade 12 family studies class at South Huron District High School. Theeducation commit- tee's report stated the family studies course is optional and within that framework alternative assignments are available. The guidelines, to be pre- pared by a committee of par- ents, trustees and adminis- trators, will address student needs and "be sensitive to the values of groups repre- sented in our school sys- tem," states the education committee report. Dennis Rau, the trustee who had initially asked the board to investigate the showing of the film, was pleased with the action taken by the education committee even though it hasn't banned the film. "I'm glad to see the educa- tion committeeis recom- mending new guidelines be established. I hope you get a lot of people involved. The board is moving in the right direction," stated Mr. Rau. One trustee also stated dis- satisfaction with the action taken by the board. "My name is recorded as being opposed. My reasons are that we're not dealing with the issue at hand," said Frank Falconer who sug- gested a yes or no answer on allowing the film to be shown in the schools should have been brought to the board. "The film is a disgrace to society," added Mr. Fal- coner who as a member of the education committee had viewed the film. Education committee chairman, Joan Van den Broeck, said "a great deal of Anglican Church Women hold June dinner meeting GORRIE — The June meeting of the Anglican Church Women of St. Stephen's - Church, Gorrie, was held at the home of Mrs. Harry Zimmerman in the form of a dinner meeting, the losing team of the penny team collections being the hostesses.

Donations were taken for a wedding gift.

Cake, coffee and tea closed the meeting. es ies sensitivity" is required in dealing with the topic and parents should be aware of alternatives available to stu- dents taking family life stu- dies. She said she received a let- ter from Rev. Bernard DeJonge of Exeter. In the letter, Mr. DeJonge said the South Huron Ministerial • Association had viewed the film and while the precise nature of the parents' con- cerns were unknown, "the majority of pastors, male and female, who saw the film agreed that it was a good teaching aid. None felt it was pronographic or sugges- tive." "However ... my concern is the context in which the film is used. The film works well as an aid, but it needs a teacher and other materials to bring out details students need to know. With the right kind of teacher, and good discussion materials the film will serve its purpose well," states Mr. DeJonge's letter. Howick students play for board Toes were tapping as the young students concentrated on the sheets of music before them and the sounds from woodwind and percussion in- struments filled the Huron County Board of Education administration centre. Grade 7 and 8 students from the instrumental music program at Howick Central Public School demonstrated their ability on instruments such as saxophones, clarinets, flutes, trombones, trumpets, percussion drums and a baritone for the enjoy- ment of Board of Education trustees. The students played prior to the board's June 6 meeting. Under the direction of music teacher Phil Parsons, the orchestra played, "It's a Small World", "Annie's Song", "A Boy Named Paul" and "Rock One". Mr. Parsons said the last time he had appeared before the board was in October of last year when he requested permission from the trustees to set up an instrumental music program at Howick. Permission had been granted and the concert at the board office showed how much the students had ac- complished since October. CINDERELLA was one of the plays put on by the Grade 3 students at a puppet show held at the Wingharn Public School Library. Penny Linardatos, Donna George, Susan Colquhoun, Kendra Hogg, Kendra Machan and Beth Ward manipulated the puppets and provided the voices for the play, which was shown to Grade 1 and 2 students and to the power learning pupils. The Wingham Advance -Times, June 15, 1983—Page 7 OTLIGHT PATRICIA HAY of Centre Street in Wingham quit last month after six years at the local library and even though she admits she will miss working, she intends to spend more time with her mother and maybe even do a bit of traveling. Another pet project of Mrs. Hay's is trying to find a new, more spacious location for the Wingham library. Mrs. P. Hay leaves library after six years By Margaret Arbuckle Patricia Hay of Centre Street in Wingham says she certainly will miss working at the local library, especially after spending the past six years there. Mrs. Hay quit her job last month so she can spend more time with her mother, Mrs. F. A. Parker. But she still intends to spend a lot of time there, either chatting with her former co-workers, Mrs. Jim Lee and Mrs. Morley Bushell, or indulging in her favorite pastime: reading. The library was a logicalplace for Mrs. Hay to work because she comes from a long line of avid readers and has frequented the library since she was six year old. She was born and raised in Wingham where her, father, Dr. Parker, was an osteopath, something like a chiropractor, she said. Dr. Parker was educated in the United States, but eventually settled in Wingham because he loved its rural locale. After completing her elementary and secondary school education at the Wingham public and high schools, she went on earn an arts degree from the University of Toronto. While there, she met and married her husband, John Hay, a young medical student. In those years after World War II, there was an overabundance of medical students looking for places to intern. Her husband wanted to be a surgeon, but was told it could be two or three years before he even could get into a hospital. Therefore they packed up and went to England so he could study surgical techniques. The three years they spent overseas where happy and busy. Money was tight for the two of them, so Mrs. Hay took a job in the library at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, while her husband was taking a course there. That first experience was so interesting that it paved the way for her love of libraries. While in England, the Hays took advantage of the close proximity to Europe and toured the Continent, as well as Ireland. After her husband's three years of studying were up, they returned to Canada and settled in Kitchener where he set up a practice. The Hays had three children, Hilary, John and Penny. In 1969, Mrs. Hay and the children moved to Wingham to be near her parents after Dr. Parker had a stroke. The year 1976 was a very sad one for the family. In March, her son was killed in a tragic auto ac- cident and in November her father died. Mrs. Hay said she found herself at loose ends, so when the job for superviser of the Wingham library came open, she applied for it, and got the job. The past six years have been very busy and fulfilling for Mrs. Hay. She loved her work and is proud to say library circulation in Wingham has doubled in the six years since she started there. That is due to the wide variety of reading material on almost any subject, new visual and educational aids, records, current newspapers and magazines. "The library has become a centre of in- formation," she said. People come into the library asking questions and making inquiries about almost anything you could imagine. It is a focal point of the community. But with the expanding role of the local library also comes the need for more spacious quarters. Mrs. Hay said the present library in town is in- credibly cramped and added she hopes a new location can be found in the near future. ' In the meantime, Mrs. Hay said she intends to enjoy her self-imposed "retirement". She and her mother share a house and there is a large yard there which always needs looking after. They also plan to spend time this summer at their cottage. But possibly if another part-time job comes open at the libary, Mrs. Hay said she will jump at the chance to get back in there, however not on a full- time basis.
