j Ashburn and Area News : by Florence Ashton A happy and safe holiday to al' those travelling with their families during the March break. At time of writing there is not too much snow in the area for skiing, sledding and "all those winter sports that kids "love. Not even enough snow to make a snow-man. I, for one would love to see a fresh fall of snow to wind down winter, and then we're ready to welcome spring. The Ladies Bible Class met last Wednesday evening at the church, with vice-president Florence Ashton convening the meeting. The theme for the worship part of the meeting was from Psalm 46, verse 10, Be still and know that I am God. A poem 'Slow Me Down, Lord' was read. Everyone joined in singing There's a Quiet Understanding. Joan Knight read the scripture from Psalm 46. The hymn Blessed Quietness was then sung. The meditation was titl- ed "Quietness." Chrissie McKinney led in prayer. Rose Heron gave the visiting report. A special Mothers Day meeting was planned. Catherine Humphrey was in charge of the programme. She shared with us the lovely story of Helen Keller who - was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama. As the result of an illness she became blind and deaf at 19 months old. In the spring of 1890 she learned to speak. In October, 1896 she 'entered school. It was remarkable what she could do, even though she could not see or hear. It a i ie I | made us all realize how blessed we are to be able to see all the beauty and all the beautiful sounds. Birth- day cake and ice-cream was serv- ed by our hostess Aldine Wick, in honour of all those celebrating bir- thdays this month. Thank you Aldine. The Fashion Show and Sale of Weekenders Ladies Wear is fast ap- proaching. The date is Tuesday, March 24 and is sponsored by the Group Committee.
