COCOA CLUSTERS by Judy Anderson 16 oz. package of chocolate chips 16 oz. package of butterscotch chips Melt chips and peanut butter. Remove from heat and add Drop by spoonfull on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Let sit until hard. Children love these. Smile Anyone? And they came to the pretty village In the quiet countryside, From North and South and East and West O'er many a country mile. They were met at the door, by United Church Women And all were wearing a smile. Our Minister opened the day; in a prayerful way With welcome both hearty and true. The "Nativity Scene" shone it's radient beam From the old story;-thats forever new. A ninety year old, a wee babe in arms, all ages met And mingled awhile And United Church Women continued to smile. To a bazaar they have come, to bargain and shop. But to greet and be greeted, will take time to stop. Paper bags crackle; cash changes hands Things so delicious; everyone warm and excited. Down in the kitchen hungry folks still lined up; Its the act of "The loaves and the fishes"!! And the United Church Women Smile and Smile and Smile. What is a bazaar, and why has it lived Thru the ages, since mans beginning? Why it fills a need, of warmth and of love, A need of receiving and giving. We put our hands to pie and dough and bread, Cloth and wool feel the pull, of needle and thread. The reward it brings help keep our church whole, And United Church Women have reason to smile. Why do we smile, as we work for our Lord? Why; we are happy you see This one day each year we can each give our best, Whatever that talent may be. United Church Women, the theme of my story But United in Christ - Is Our Beauty and Glory. And we are well pleased, and we SMILE and we SMILE and we SMILE.

The three first place essays will be pub- lished in the Castor Re- view.
