Orono UCW celebrat Twentieth anniversarj With Mrs. Ethel Lycett at- tending the guest book at the entrance to the Main Hall at Orono United Church, a very good crowd was present to celebrate the 20th Anniver- sary of United Church Women on the evening of June 3, 1982. Beautiful floral arrangements decorated the tables and various places about the hall. The President, Mrs. Isabelle Challice opened the meeting with a poem, follow- ed by prayer. She extended a warm welcome to everyone, especially to Kendal and Kir- by U.C.W.'s guests from Toronto, and other visitors. Everyone joined in singing, "Onward Joyful Christians," after which a play was presented by members of Orono Hi C and the Sunday School. Writer and director of the play, entitled, "I Cannot Come," was Mrs. Betty Wright and Mr. Don Staples narrated passages from Scrip- ture. The theme was taken from the Gospel of Luke -Chapter 14 - when Jesus tells of a man who planned a large dinner party, and sent his ser- vant with invitations to many people to come and share the meal with him. But they al began to make excuses why they couldn't come. The master of the house then sent his servant out into the streets and byways to bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame, to occupy the empty places at his table. We, today, give many excuses for not attending important events in our community -such as - watching shows on T.V., just got married, going to a party, babysittting, just bought some land etc. We should not be "too busy" for the things in God's kingdom. Everyone joined the cast in sining, "His Banner Over Me is Love." Mrs. Euna Killens, Presi- dent of Oshawa Presbyterial U.C.W. brought greetings from Oshawa Presbytery and read a meaningful poem. Asked to stand were previous W.M.S. members, W.A. members and Evening Aux- iliary members. Past Presidents of Orono U.C.W. in attendance are the follow- ing: Mrs. Norma Long, (1962-63); Mrs. Etta Irwin (1964-65); Mrs. Betty Chat- terton (1966-67); Mrs. 1. Challice (1968-69); absent Mrs. Mabel Cook (1970-71); Mrs. Ethel Lycett (1972-73); Mrs. Olive Millson (1974-75); Mrs. Joan Hodge (1976-77; Mrs. Lois Brown (1978-79-80); Mrs. I.Challice (1981-82). F&om Unit 2, Mrs. Bertha Touchburn and Mrs. Leila Werry gave an excellent Devotional on "Humour". Bertha opened with a poem. Hymn 394 "Happy the Home" was sung, with Joyce Grey as pianist. Mrs. Werry read the Scripture passage. Mrs. Touchburn, in her Meditation, stated that the gift of humour certainly should be given an important place among the blessings God grants his people. A noted writed claims that there is abundant evidence in the New Testament that Jesus possessed a finely-developed sense of humour, which had a definite place in His ministry. One can readily suppose that a ripple of laughter passed over the crowd when Jesus pictured the Pharisee drink- ing soup, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel. Or the picture of a man fumbling to remove a speck from his brother's eye, with a beam sticking out of his own, or the man who lit a lamp and put it under a bushel. Nothing helps more to ease the strain and burden of life, than a fine sense of humour. The man or woman who can laugh at himself and with others is a real tonic to the soul.' Humour is one of faith's finest allies. To be seventy years young is something far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old. We are told that happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. This is God's world and He has given us grace of humour to lighten the happenings in it. Bertha closed with prayer. Each unit presented an item for the programme. For Unit 1, Ethel Lycett gave a humourous monologue, "My False Eyelashes." With Isabelle Challice downing a unique broad-brinimed "chapeau," she acted as c-ommentator for "Milestones in Millinery", when members of Unit 3 strolled by to display various hat creations - sqme dating back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unit 4 gave skit "Keep Canada Beautiful." Mrs. Bessie Bellamy, from Unit 5, read two poems from an old school reader and a letter received by her.mother dated May, 1908. Business was conducted and an- nouncements made. Mrs. Olive Millson, assisted by Mrs. Betty Major and Mrs. Gladys Gamsby, gave a tribute to former members of W.M.S. (formed in Orono in 1885, in P.E.I in 1825) the W.A. (formed in 1940) and the W.M.S. Even- vlaster ing Auxiliary (formed in May, 1947). A history of Orono U.C.W. (formed in 1962) was also given. Olive closed with a tribute in prayer. Rev. Wright gave the Benediction. On display were the U.C.W. Sa Scrapbook, and earlier W.A. es and W.M.S. record books. Charter President of Orono U.C.W.

Plan to attend. tained in cigarette smoke and the various chemicals found in auto repair work may at- tack different parts of the respiratory system at the same time. Their effects may add together, or they may combine to give an effect even greater than their sum (a synergistic effect), making them especially damaging. Carbon monoxide, from car exhausts and cigarette smoking, is an odourless, col- ourless gas that reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Its effects are first felt in those tissues most seg sitive to a lack of oxygen, such as the brain and the heart. Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, followed by weakness, dizziness, dim vision, nausea, and vomiting. At high concentrations, coma and death may resuit. Lead from auto exhaust is absorbed through the skin and the lungs. Excessive lead exposure causes anemia and damages the nervous system. Sulfuric acid gas and par- ticulate sulfates are found in greater amounts in the ex- haust of autos with catalytic convertors than in the ex- haust of older cars. The symptoms of excessive sulfur in the air include irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Other lung hazards include asbestos in brake linings, brake fluids that may contain chemicals irritating to the respiratory system, graphite, and oils when inhaled as mists or smoke in large quan- tites. Durham Region Lung Association has a new pam- phlet on lung health hazards related to auto repair.
