RR ra LATS AEE I SE ; 3 : : ; pe ai Scugog island Area News by Mrs. Earl Reader On Wed. evening the "Head" UCW met at the home of Mrs. Clara Dowson with 14 members present. This also gave us an opportunity to celebrate the birthday of one of our very obliging mail carriers right | in _ her own home. To start the year, our thoughts were on Stewardship and a study of Parables that were used to illustrate the importance of Stewardship. In- cidentally it is interesting to note that the Bible records 60 to 68 Parables. Many of our own modern stories used to illustrate a lesson could ac- tually be classed as Parables. During the business period several priority events for the year were discussed to plan changes or possible withdrawal where dif- ficulties required thought. As usual, the visiting committee reported a very busy time of visits and telephone calls when physical conditions did not seem wise to go out. We rejoice with those who have been able to go south for a winter vacation but sympathize with those who were not able to enjoy it when touched by illness. Among those who have been hospitalized, Morven and Marion Hughes of Port View are home but not in perfect health. John and Mabel Sweetman are both home but still need much care. Syd Chandler is slowly improving at home after his bout of pneumonia. Don Ashbridge is still hospitalized while - he waits for further tests, but still needs to be careful. Earl Reader is gaining strength and beginning to surroundings. 'realize more of his Of course, Cliff Love is still in Fairview Lodge and seems to enjoy his visits and surroundings as much as possible but has had a couple of falls. This winter does seem to have brought difficulty and sadness to so many, so let's trust in a brighter Spring. At these times we realize how wonderful other people can be when they are needed. The Women's Institute meets Wed. Feb. 19 with a Study of World Affairs and the main thought will be on travelling. For the roll call you will name a city in China and the program will centre around China. Women's Institute news by Lillian Harper, P.R.O. There was an excellent atten- dance at our February meeting in spite of the slippery conditions of roads and sidewalks. We were sorry to hear of several members being ill. Get well cards were signed by all to be sent, with wishes, for a speedy recovery. The roll call "Name a country prominent in the news today," brought a good variety of answers, as there are so many newsworthy stories in countries all over the world, including Canada! A most satisfactory financial report was given by our treasurer. A letter of appreciation was receiv- ed from "'Operation Scugog" for our contribution, also reporting that 110 families had been given assistance at Christmas time. Our representatives, Do.othy Naples and Reni Bouwmeister, who had taken the short course in Ux- bridge on candle-wicking, had a suc- cessful demonstration at Reni's home recently. Those who were unable to attend at that time, will be given a short demonstration at our March meeting, so plan to attend. Marion Johnston's group was in charge of program. The Motto was "Great events are taking place in the world today. Are you aware of them? Pearl Gostick gave a most in- teresting resume of upcoming Ex- po '86 in Vancouver and the great ef- fort being put forth by so many countries to make it a big success. This is to be a celebration of Van- couver's 100th anniversary with worldwide participation. . Gladys Slack gave an amusing and thought provoking look at all the variety of information to be found in our "Home and Country" I'm sure this will make us all look more closely at the articles contain- ed in this magazine and benefit from them. Gladys also drew our attention to remarks made by an Uxbridge "Times" writer concerning our organization, which were very complimentary. Marion showed a picture taken 75 years ago of an institute group in- cluding some of her husband's family. Nellie Nottenboom gave some in- teresting facts pertaining to A.C.W.W. which involves 67 coun- tries and many million people. Ruby Bryant gave a reading of interest. Following the program, Thelma McCreight acted as auctioneer for a sale of home baking and "white elephant items' which brought a total of $53.75 to be turned over to the district. After the close of the meeting, a social time was enjoyed over a cup of tea and a lovely variety of home- made muffins and cheese.
