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.

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.
