The Theme "How Like a Woman," was introduced by Mrs. Jackie Chapell, Chairlady, as she read the poem, "A Prayer for You ." The Hymn, 'We Gather Together' was sung with Mrs. Betty Stone at the organ. The UCW purpose was repeated in unison. Rev. David Shepherd brought greetings and words of welcome on behalf of Pinedale, the hosting congregation. Ladies from Greenbank - - Eunice Rahm, Marie Foster, Helen McKean, Margaret Couperthwaite, Suzanne Lee, and Kim Thomson presented the wor- ship, beginning with a poem, "What is a Mother?' followed by singing 'Pass it on." The ladies reflected on women of the Bible, such as Ruth, Martha, The Widow and Her Penny, and Mary Magdalene, and how our life can relate to these. Singing 'Because 'He Lives," concluded the wor- ship. The In Memoriam, con- 'ducted by Mrs. Dorothy Suggitt and Mrs. Willa Cameron of SAVE up t Sunderland consisted of scripture from Ecclesiastes 3:1-4, a Medita- tion and Prayer. The Offering was received by Seagrave UCW ladies and dedicated by Mrs. Mildred Puckrin. The minutes of the 1988 Rally were read by the Secretary, Mrs. Norma Ferguson. Over seventy ladies stood in turn, as each presi- dent shared some interesting pro- ject enjoyed during the past year. Mrs. Margaret Ingram gracious- ly extended an invitation for the Rally to be held in Seagrave in 1990. Dressed in camp garb and carrying a sleeping bag and a gym bag, Mrs. Wilma Smith was so excited about her weekend at Camp Quin Mo Lac that she en- thused her friend, Cheryl Retallick to attend the Mid-Week Event. This little dialogue, short and to the point, conveyed to the listeners everything they needed to know about these events. Mrs. Joyce Jones, Presbyterial President, brought greetings and introduced Presbyterial Officers. She reminded presidents to distribute the reports in the brown envelopes to the appropriate of- ficers. Joyce announced the Ex- ecutive meeting on June 14 at Beaverton where we will see the video, "Future of the UCW" and the workshop on responsibilities of a president.

Marion Thurston made an appeal for volunteers to help in the Booth at Lindsay Fair. Grace was sung before the Pinedale ladies served a delicious lunch. To begin the afternoon ses- sion Rev. M.F. Perry led a hymn, sung with a humorous and effec- tive skit, '"The UCW Goes on Strike." Mrs. Doris Cockerill of Valentia introduced the speaker, Mrs. Jackie Guthrie, President of Oshawa Presbyterial. Jackie read a poem 'How Like a Woman." She referred to women of the Bible and what Christians arerequired to do. Jackie quoted an African phrase, 'You can't pick up a flea with one finger," meaning we must work together. With reference to the story of the man who attended Church for three years, but was not noticed until he left his hat on for the en- tire service, reminded us that friendliness to strangers is of ut- most importance. Mrs. Anne Wot- ton, of Miller Memorial thanked Jackie for her interesting and stimulating message as well as expressing thanks to all who par- ticipated in any way. The Hymn, "Lord Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing," followed by repeating the printed Benediction concluded another worthwhile and inspiring Rally. 22 and July 6, and a Stoney Lake Boat Cruise is planned.

RIDE on patrol May 24 weekend Victoria Day weekend will kick off the first of long weekend R.L.D.E. blitzes this summer. For the first time, the Ministry of the Solicitor General, in con- junction with the Ontario Provin- cial Police, regional and municipal forces, is sponsoring a cooperative R.I.D.E. program, to take place on long weekends dur- ing the summer. The concept, initiated by a coor- dinated traffic management group looking at ways to solve common accident-causing pro- blems affecting forces throughout the province, will continue through until Thanksgiving Day weekend. R.ID.E. teams will be out in full force in towns and cities and on roads leading to cottage coun- try, beaches and resort areas. The goal is to reduce drink- ing/driving motor vehicle ac- .cidents by increasing the risk of apprehension. The program has already proved effective in in- fluencing driver behaviour during the Festive Season. Long weekends in the summer are traditionally a time when ac- cidents due to impaired driving occur. NEW .ive..
