Many of the local fellows par- ticipated in a very busy weekend of Broomball at a Tournament in Barrie. From the pace that was scheduled for them, I expect there are many tired and sore lads in the community this morning.

Emma Denny Low - Georgina McLaughlin. Draws were won by Mary Cannon Dorothy Beach, Martin Stubbs and Meta Swain. Members of the Fair Board are reminded of the monthly meeting that will be held this Thursday evening March 8 at the Rec. Center. If you see a moose in the Pur- ple Hill area don't think you are seeing images - there has been one sighted several times. The last time was in Joan and Harvey Graham's house yard early Sun- day morning when the moose seemingly became confused and could not find its way out of the yard. Gerald and Joyce Kelly, Elaine and Esther joined Ernie and Vic- toria Hargrave of Woodville, Jethro and Jacqueline Stapes, Alberta Tiers, Edna Kelly all of Bobcaygeon, and Elaine Kelly of Mississauga for a Kelly family dinner, at the home of Elizabeth and Peter Peeters of Omemee on Saturday evening. On Friday afternoon a large crowd attended a very inspira- tional World Day of Prayer ser- vice held in the Nestleton Presbyterian Church. The service was chaired by Mrs. Dorothy Lee with representatives from the various churches of Cartwright participating. A delicious lunch and social time followed the service. Glenn Larmer and Harvey Graham participated in a United Church National Consultation in Bolton from Friday to Sunday. Farmers and Fishers from New- foundland to Northern Alberta and British Columbia came to share mutual concerns as ~ responsi primary food producers in Canada. They made policy recommendations directed towards local churches and peti- tions to General Council of the United Church and to Provincial and Federal Governments. One of the highlights was having Country Canada cameras recording events and making a segment for a future Country Canada program. Sympathy is extended to parents and relatives and friends of Karen Breen, a young woman who passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly at her home (the former Toms home on Pur- ple Hill) last week. What a tragedy when a young life is taken by the dread disease of asthma. Congratulations to St. John's Anglican Church which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. There will be guest speakers, some who are former ministers or summer students. Other activities are being planned. . During Lenton season there will be a Wednesday morning Eucharist held at 7:30 a.m. followed by a light breakfast. In preparation for Easter Bap- tisms, the Catechsis program will be starting the second week of March. Anyone desiring baptism at this time, please contact Rev. Charles Ball at the Church office 985-7278. Ham, scalloped potatoes pie and good fellowship left 17 local United Church men ina happy mood to listen to missionary : Don Nicol talk about Argentina. He showed with pictures and slides the vastness and beauty of this country -and the incredible dilemma of inflation at 100 per- cent per month and the resultant poverty. Don Nicol"s food for thought wasn't as pleasant as the apple pie but it brings realization that food producers in many coun- tries may sell their produce to the same multi-national corporation that supplies us with our food in Canada. Do we not then have a for social justice for those whe work with an inade- quate wage to supply this food chain we enjoy so much? Twenty six ladies and one gentleman guest met in the C.E. Room of the United Church on Wed. evening, Feb. 28, for their General UCW meeting. After en- joying fellowship, a light lunch and a brief business session, the worship was conducted by Marg Kemp and Aileen VanCamp. Marg lit the candle beside the open Bible and globe of the world and led in prayer. A hymn was sung and Ailene presented a meaningful meditation about the smallness of our world and our concern for it and everyone in it. The grest speaker, Rev. Don Nicol, was introduced by Ruby VanCamp. In his opening remarks he stressed the fact that "Mission" belongs to God and that we, His people, are par- ticipants in it. He showed slides depicting his work as a mis- sionary in Argentina, answered a number of specific questions from the floor and explained the infla- tion and national debt facing that South American country, thus giving a very informative insight into their problems. Past Presi- dent, Jean Adams, was presented with a book in appreciation of her work during 1988-89 and Presi- dent, Mavis Brodie, brought the meeting to a close with benedic- tion and prayer.
