All of these things are very important if we are to see signs of depression in our loved ones and to be able to get them help and for us to help them Mrs. W. Brown moved a vote of thanks to Janice and presented her with a small gift on our behalf. Mrs. R. Metcalf gave a news brief on the Charlottetown farm women's conference. The repeating of the Collect and singing of 0 Canada closed our meeting. Mrs. R. Metcalf had a short game while lunch was prepared. Lunch of sandwiches, pickles, cheese and celery, tea and coffee was served by the group ip charge. [intended for last week] The first fall meeting of Welcome UCW was held on the evening of September 10th at the church with both units present. The devotional period was in charge of the unit two group led by Dora Nichols who opened the meeting using the words of the well known prayer for help in making change. The scripture was read by Jean Payne including wise words from Proverbs, such as 'the fool despises a father's instruction.' Dora, Kay Thorndyke and Jean read other sections of scripture with more words of wisdom, The Lord is the strength of my life, and Happy is the woman who loves wisdom. Jean read an account of the personality and life of the new Moderator, Anne Squire of Ottawa. The program for the evening was the film strip, 'Killing us Softly' and discussion which followed. The narrative was clear and well done, the illustrations were of ads from magazines and papers showing how both men and women are manipulated. The purpose, of course, is to sell more of the advertised product, not just to do the viewer a great favor, as so many imply. During the discussion it was felt many are pornographic and form letters were available to write those in a position to deal with the impending legislation on pornography. Refreshments were served before each group met to transact business. In the absence of Gwen Best, group two was led by Dora Nichols. The coming weeks have so much activity it seemed each member needed to use her date book. Berniece Best received a letter from Oscar Alexander, the sponsored boy from El Salvador who told of his progress at school. The roll call for October will be an article for 'Our House,' similar to those sent to Street Haven, and the coin bottles which go to child support. Tickets for the bus trip are sold but there are some available for the 11:30 sitting for lunch at Cronk Hall in the Port Hope United church on the day of the Conservancy House Tour. There is a Resource Fair at Trinity church in Cobourg on November 14 and 15; on November 4 and 5 there is a midweek school in Peterborough similar to the weekend at Quin-Mo-Lac; in September there is an auction sale in Port Hope to assist with the food bank and donations are needed. A cash donation was voted for that food bank and a collection of food planned for Thanksgiving. Barbara Irwin and Kay Thorndyke were appointed as part of a committee to decorate the church for Thanksgiving. A list of founding members is to be compiled for next year's 25th anniversary of the UCW. Ladies were pleased to have a guest, Mrs. McIntosh of Scotland, here visiting with her brother Tom Wilson and family. That Wednesday evening brought torrential rains to the area and flooded many basements, it was rather scary to find several inches of water on the floor and the sump pump refusing to activate itself. Faced with the possibility of running downstairs every few minutes all night to start it by hand, a neighbour was called for help. What a blessing is a good neighbour with know how and especially sympathetic for that morning his own basement was flooded some inches up on the furnace. Fields and gardens are sodden and it will require some windy dry days to make them solid enough to hold heavy machines. Thorndykes have a wonderful spring fed creek running by their house. They have a barrel sunk in it with a screen on either side to let water flow through and in it have four large gold fish. At least they did have for the past two years, the fish surviving under the ice all winter, but Wednesday night's heavy rain caused the barrel to overflow for the first time, and the fish are gone. If they survived they must be in the lake by now. On Wednesday evening, 10th, the Stroke Recovery club was entertained at the home of Truman Austin. They had a corn roast and barbecue and the 33 present certainly enjoyed themselves. The rain didn't bother them for the large garage area provided shelter and also a fine view of the changing lake. Visitors with Harold and Verna Austin on Monday, September 8th were Mr. and Mrs. Art Austin of Selby in the afternoon and Mr. and Mrs. Gratton Peters and Mrs. Kimbal of Bobcaygeon in the evening. • People from the lakeshore who participated in Port Hope's fair were Michael Jiggins involved with the band on Thursday evening and on Friday at the Opportunity for Youth booth. Carroll Nichols and Jim Sculthorp.e were manning the booth set up to bring awareness to people of the seriousness of a waste site in the area where life sustaining water would be in serious danger. The future seems far away, and it is so much easier to let tomorrow look after itself. But we do so at our peril. There will be a public meeting at the fireball at Welcome on Thursday evening September 18th to discuss this vital matter. Mrs. June Nichols was one of the judges for the talent contest and Marion Nichols and E. Barrowclough were on duty at the Historical Society booth for part of Friday afternoon. On Saturday, Charlene Austin was involved in horse events. 'Prerequisite for finding God,' was the theme at Welcome United on Sunday, September 14th with Rev. W. Sedgwick in charge. Prerequisite is a familiar word for students who have to take a preliminary course in a certain subject to prepare them for a regular one later on. The first requisite for Christian faith is a belief in God. I believe in God is a statement used in all the church's creeds beginning with the Nicene. A second requisite is to believe at what Jesus says is trustworthy. The children's story on the leaflet told of the little boy who didn't want to eat his food and his mother asked him to say Grace. He did, saying 'Thank you even if I don't like it,' then he did eat it. This boy faced his many problems in later years in this way, being thankful even if he didn't like what he had to do. He developed a noble character through being thankful for hard things as well as soft, not an easy task. It's getting near the end of the gladiolus season but there was once again an arrangement of lovely shades of this stately flower to brighten the church. The organist was Barbara Croft and the choir's anthem was a fine rendering of 'Amazing Grace.' The offering was received by John Connelly and Stephen Franke. Russell and Reta Baker greeted the congregation at the door. Elaine Kellogg will be filling the vacancy as teacher of the senior class, good news for the Sunday School. Harold and Gwen Best arrived home on Saturday after a three and a half week leisurely tour from here to the west coast, without difficulty and with much pleasure. Mrs. John Groeneveld Sr. returned home from Holland recently, cutting short her visit because of ill health. She is at home now and somewhat improved.
