South Bay U.C.W. - Continued from page 3 interesting past history of Milford in celebration of Milford 200. Did you know the town hall once boasted a stage for plays, etc? They stored the wood under the stage for the fuelling of the box stove used to heat the hall. Collection was taken and treasurer Joyce reported our finances. The ladies are setting up tables on Friday, Nov. 14 at 9:30am for our luncheon on Nov. 15. The meeting was concluded with the UCW prayer. The ladies were then treated to a lunch supplied by Carolyn Barnes and Nora Parker and were thanked on behalf of the group by Joyce. Ship of Fire - Cont'd from page 1 comes in many forms. There is the dramatic and obvious as with the Dulmages and the schooners the Emblem of Bronte and the Georgiana, who risked everything to save the passengers from the inferno on the steamer the Ocean Wave that night in April 1853. The unsung heroes were the everyday people who took critically ill strangers into their homes and cared for them. Put that into modern day terms. Can you imagine what would happen if boat loads of sick immigrants, carrying highly contagious diseases that had no cure landed on our doorsteps? Those ships would never be allowed to get anywhere near Canada, let alone be welcomed into peoples homes. This really is a story about compassion and bravery.
