Section President Betty Bond, of Portland, and Ruth Galway of Lyndhurst each welcomed the group as they settled in for a day of worship, music. and fellowship. Morning worship by Ruth MacLean and May LaHay of Westport brought the Lord's Prayer into everyone's heart with the lighting of candles and the prayer repeated accordingly: a tall candle for God "Our Father"; a blue one for "heaven"; green (the enduring colour of cedar and pine) for "hallowed be"; purple for robes of "Thy Kingdom come"; brown for "on earth"; gold for "our daily bread"; silver for "trespasses" or debts; red for sin and "temptation"; black for "deliver from evil"; white for "kingdom and power"; orange of the dominant sunset for "glory forever". Memorial service followed with the placement of flowers in a vase, as Marjorie Earl and Sandra Freeman compared the action of a butterfly, as it gracefully lights then flies on, to that of the women who have enriched lives they have touched and moved on leaving a marvelous heritage.

Arlene Benn encouraged members to attend annual meetings of UCW Conference â€" the next one in Brockville (Wall St.) on April 2-3. Guest speaker Mary Nichols, introduced by Pat Carr of Portland, was a Canadian Missionary. Amember of the Presbyterian Church, she taught nursing in India and Nepal, where she spent 12 years. Until the 1950's Nepal, a Hindu country, was not open to the rest of the world and had no hospitals. Preaching and Bibles were not allowed and those who were Christian were mistreated and beaten. Christian love, shown in the workplace and through quiet meetings in rented homes, resulted in 50,000 Christians in the country. Bibles have now found their way in and are being translated. Mt. Everest has brought tourism into the country. Mary was thanked for her wonderful work by Helen Barr of Burridge. Everyone was refreshed by a tasty meal at noon provided by Lansdowne and returned to enjoy more lively singing led by Kathryn Powell and accompanied by Wilma Baker. Afternoon worship centred on "love", as Edna Gile and Marjorie Emmons from Harlem-Chantry reminded listeners that lives must have a strong foundation, a foundation built upon faith. We must not forget that God loves us as we are and we can be channels of love to others. Faith comes from hearing the message, as stated in the Bible (Rom.10 v.17). A skit called "A Unit Meeting" was humourously portrayed by Portland. And a member of that group recorded the day's minutes, Sylvia French. Westport-Burridge members extended an invitation to next year's rally; and Irene Goodsell of Delta, who will now be 2nd Vice President, thanked everyone for their part in an inspirational day.

CHAFFEY'S LOCK WOMEN'S INSTITU'I'E The October meeting of the Chaffey's Lock W.I. was held at the home of Lola Timpany and the theme was "International Affairs". The guest speaker was unable to attend and so Marion Goulah spoke of her work with refugee children. Canada has opened its doors to many immigrants from such countries as Guatemala, Poland, El Salvador, Hungary, etc., and many of these children don't speak English, have never seen snow, and are unfamiliar and a little afraid of our life here in Canada. The schools, churches, and government groups have done wonderful work to make them welcome here. President Kathy Eberhard thanked Ms. Goulah and suggested that perhaps W.I. members could help too. President Kathy again appealed to the women for a Hall Board chairperson, and this sparked a lively discussion on the future of the hall in this community. The former Hall Board has been disbanded and Hall Board chairperson Shelah Carruthers has resigned her position, so that there is no clear cut direction for the affairs of the hall. It was decided that a meeting would be called at the hall on Sunday, October 28th at 2:00p.m. This would be a general open meeting and all the community is invited to participate. There are alternatives to the familiar rule of the Institute overseeing the hall. Rentals have to be made, money collected, rules adhered to, repairs made, and future plans ' drawn ’ up.‘ This is a community hall and the W.I. would like the community residents to attend this meeting and express their wishes and ideas. _Correspondence was read and a motion passed to sponsor the 4â€"H Club under the direction of Ms. Nancy Hayes. Roll call was "What international news event has caught your interest recently and why?" Some of the events mentioned were Gorbachev receiving the Nobel Peace prize, affairs in Iraq, the confrontation at Oka, etc. President Kathy closed the meeting with a thanks to Lola for the use of her home and the hostesses who provided the tasty refreshments. The next meeting will be November 20, at the home of June Alford. A committee headed by Bea Hughson will be planning the Christmas party at the hall and the guest speaker will be Julia Scotland, speaking on holiday decorating and crafts. All are welcome.
