Hazardous Winter For Canada Post Recent snow and freezing rain storms in the greater Metro Toronto area have created extremely hazardous walking conditions outdoors for everyone ... and especially for Canada Post Corporation letter carriers. To help prevent accidents and injuries through slips-and- falls, Canada Post is asking for public co-operation in keeping sidewalks and steps clear and free of snow and ice, to enable letter carriers to NOW OPEN Falcon Truck and Trailer • Custom welding and fabricating • Truck bodies and Industrial trailers 251 Simpson Ave., Unit E Bowmanville - 623-1103!) deliver the mail safely. Snow and ice-covered sidewalks and steps could also lead to a temporary discontinuance of mail delivery to an address until the hazardous conditions are eliminated. During the winter season of 1983-84, postal delivery personnel across Canada suffered more than 1,500 injuries relating to slips-and- falls. Cleared sidewalks and steps assure the continuing health and safety of mail delivery personnel, and assist in maintaining regular delivery service to more than 25 million Canadians. On Tuesday, Jan. 8th, the general meeting of the Welcome UCW was held at the church. Most of the members were able to be present in spite of icy roads and some car trouble. Following saying of Grace by President Doreen McHolm, ladies sat down for lunch at 12 noon. Immediately after the meal, devotions were conducted by Christine Wilson with scripture read by Caroline Byers and music for hymns provided by Suzanne Rutherford. Thoughts for the New Year were demonstrated by a short skit. An angel complete with halo, Christine Wilson, stood at the gateway to 1985 and greeted three weary travellers as they arrived. Mrs. Smith (Gwen Best) was laden with a bag full of letters not written, visits not made and things undone, she was told to sit and rest. Mrs. Brown (Caroline Byers) equally exhausted was carrying a bag of broken resolutions while Mrs. Jones (Jean Payne) was laden with a bag full of worries of the world. The angel told them to put down their loads and listen to the words of Jesus as he promised to carry the burden. With the assurance of help they were told to enter the gate of the New Year with Hope and confidence. The devotions ended with prayer by Jean Payne. The guest speaker was Miss L. Richardson of Port Hope. Miss Richardson was a teacher at Port Hope High School, has studied theology in Toronto and is lay assistant at Our Lady of Mercy Church. She expressed appreciation for the invitation and hoped for continued meetings together. She spoke of the coming year and of the flow of predictions we hear from press, radio and T.V. for 1985, much of it gloomy. Isaiah knew of the bad times in his day but his joyous prediction of the coming of a Saviour was a message of Hope which gave strength to all. It did come to pass and we need someone today to predict for us a happy future. We have the potential to bring that message to people, and to bring the presence of Jesus, if we do not use that potential we are as one who carries a flashlight and never flicks the switch. Our share in bringing about a better time is a very opportune message for the beginning of a new year. She was thanked for her very fine presentation of this cheerful outlook by Gwen Newton. She was accompanied by Mrs. Carole Walker from whom ladies had received an invitation to attend one of their meetings last fall. During the afternoon, there was a very pleasant interlude when two ladies were presented with life membership pins. Phyllis Symons read the order of service for this acknowledgement of faithful work. Mrs. Gwen Newton and Mrs. Hazel Irwin were those honored and Donna Brimacombe and Christine Wilson pinned these small brooches with so much meaning in them, on their shoulders. The general business was conducted by Doreen McHolm while each group conducted its own. Group two heard thank you notes from recipients of baskets at Christmas. Carrie Osborne will be conducting a craft class beginning Jan. 23rd with the first meeting at her home. Any social activity discussed was left to be decided when weather and roads and free time permits. Right after the speaker had finished, several ladies left to attend the meeting of the Morrish Institute which is held regularly on this date. It was at the home of Mrs. Anna Hughes, Port Hope and was well attended. It was conducted by Anna who was group leader for this month. A full report of the area convention held at the Royal York last November was given by the secretary- treasurer, Florence Keeler. The programme was on Education with talks by E. Barrowclough and Marion Marvin. Mr. and Mrs. Archie Ford were in Toronto on Saturday, January 12th to see daughter Gwen, Mrs. Claude Marchais de La Roche who is in hospital there. She underwent heart surgery on Thursday and all were happy to know the proposed valve replacement was deemed not necessary and a cleaning job seemed sufficient. That was good news and we hope she will soon be over the effects and home again. Sunday morning's worship service at Welcome began SINCE 1917 MAYBE HE KNOWS TOO MUCH Having been around this fine Town/City forjnany years and knowing so much of what went on MAYBE -- just MAYBE some of our good citizens will be glad to see me gone.

Downtown Oshawa © 725-4511 with Lloyd Kellogg giving the call to worship. Rev. Gordon Rutherford conducted the service and continued the series on the events of Jesus' life. Today's message was based on the scripture story of the faith of those who lowered their friend through the roof that he might be near Jesus. His response to this act of faith was a fulfillment of the joyous prophecy of Isaiah. The children's story was illustrated with a beautiful picture which had been restored by an expert after it had been allowed to become soiled and torn. Just so, may a neglected life be reclaimed by spiritual power. The choir's anthem was "Praise to the Lord God Almighty" and the offering was received by Clarence Nichols and Allin Osborne. Mr. and Mrs. Mel McHolm greeted the congregation at the door. Another of the many organizations supported by the United Church and many others was explained by pamphlets available at the church door and explained at the beginning of the service. It is called the Canadian Food-, Grains Bank and was started" by the Mennonite people of Manitoba. Donations from those who grow grain and others who give cash are both tax deductible. The purpose is to have an available supply of grain ready when need comes. A box to receive donations was placed at the door. Jays and tree sparrows are flocking to the feeder and that snow has covered the fields. Evening Grosbeaks, too, were feeding on the apples of the flowering crab, surprisingly instead of the Manitoba maples.
