the drill. You'll set a full meal for your wheat, from
the time it sprouts until the heads mature next
summer.
The N -P -K will stimulate rapid seedling
growth and deep sturdy roots for winter hardiness.
Next spring it will promote growth and add bushels
of high protein grain.
Let's soil test your wheat land. Let's make
sure your wheat gets a balanced menu of plant food
... for top yields of high protein grain. Come in to
see us, or call today.
Fertilize now. Profit later.
Agricol
A good name to grow by
Brucefield - 482-3948
her husband Hubert ar
residing temporarily i
Dungannon where he is th
Mennonite pastor while thei
minister furthers hi
education.
Mrs. Lawrence's son is
linguist with the Wycliff
translators in Papua
New Guinea. She told h
Marshall and his twin siste
Gaye had always been in
terested in spiritual things
and at the age of 18 they bo
dedicated their lives to th
Lord. Gaye is in Africa
where they also spent si
weeks in the fall of 1976
before going on to New
Guinea.
Marshall and his wife
Helen, who is a registered
nurse, work among the
Oksapmin people in the
mountainous interior, where
each tribe has its own
language. There are a
thousand languages which
have never been put in
writing. This type of work
requires deep concentration,
and is quite exhausting, so
periodically they move from
the tribe to their home in
Ukarumpa, where their four
children can attend school.
All teachers are unpaid
volunteers, as the whole
village is made up of tran-
slators who depend on the
offerings of interested people
for their expenses.
The Oksapmin people are
very primitive, but are
changing some since the
missionaries arrived. They
work very hard in their
vegetable fields, with little in
the way of recreation. A man
decorates himself by
wearing a pig's tusk through
his nose, and girls may have
patterns dyed on their faces.
Their only crafts are string
bags (called billens) in-
tricately worked from
shreds of bark, and walls
made by splitting and
flattening branches of the
pit -pit tree, and arranging
them in lovely designs. Mrs.
Lawrence showed excellent
pictures, and is a very en-
tertaining speaker.
The programme com-
mittee of Mildred McAsh,
Gwynne Roberts, Elaine
Stephenson, Mora Heard and
Lorna Johnston presented a
devotional on "The Lord is
My Shepherd", and served a
delicious lunch.
The Varna church an-
niversary is being observe
on Sunday,. Rev. Robt
Roberts of Egmondville will
be the guest preacher, and
special music will be
provided by the Green -
sleeves of the Goderich area.
This service will begin at
11:00 a.m. and there will be
no service in Goshen church.
The anniversary supper will
be on October 11.
Hosts shower
Barbara • Consitt hosted a
shower for Peggy Kufner of
London, bride -elect of Ron
e Keys, on Friday evening.
n About forty neighbours and
e relatives attended. The
✓ guests made up a book
s "Advice to the Newlyweds"
to help get them off to a good
a start. Several contests were
fe enjoyed, with Brenda
, Dowson winning the Slogan
ow Contest. Marg Hayter knew
✓ the names of the most tunes,
- and Lori Hayter won the
, Clothespin Contest, Marjorie
th Hayter composed and read
e an address to the bride, and
, she was presented with
x many lovely gifts.
Rec leaders deserve
thanks
This might be a good time
to express the thanks of the
people of the Varna com-
munity to the township
Recreation Committee for
their Leadership in providing
so many activities. They put
a lot of work into it, and the
response from the residents
has been pretty good. Shirley
Hill is to be commended, too,
for seeing that meetings and
activities are reported in the
press.
4-H club cancelled
The 4-11 club "Essential
Edibles" will not be held, as
the response was too poor.
My apologies for the error in
last week's paper. Kate Keys
was to be a leader, not Joan
Stephenson as reported.
Personals
We hope Mrs. Geo. Reid,
who has been confined to
Clinton Hospital since a
week ago Tuesday, will soon
be well again.
Gerald and Marg Hayter
and Bob and Sandy Hayter
entertained a number of
their friends and neighbours
at a steak barbecue on.
Saturday night.
Tanya Postill had her
tonsils removed a couple of
weeks ago, and was soon
feeling fine again.
Pat and Jacquie Taylor
and Barbara and Lori
Consitt attended a shower
for their cousin's fiancee,
Linda Glee of Toronto, which
was held at the Pizza Patio in
Goderich on Sunday.
