United Church Evening Auxiliary The evening auxiliary of the United Church met Tues., evening, Jan. 10th at the home of Mrs. Linstead with an attendance of 19. Helen Bathie opened the meeting with a poem followed with prayer. After thanking the auxiliary for the -} co-operation she had received, during her term as president, Helen called on 'Mrs. Linstead to install the officers for 1961. Mrs. Linstead led in prayer and read the aims and objectives of our organization, and in her capable manner installed the following offi- cers: - Past President--Helen Bathie President--Kay Walker ki Vice-President--Jane Litt Treasurer & Stewardship-- Hazel Crawford Rec. Sec'y--Joan Lane © Press Sec'y--Doris Williams Citizenship--Florence Porter Literature--Gladys Joblin 3 Friendship--Margaret Burnett Supply---Joan Godley Corr. Sec'y--Reta Saunders -Missionary Monthly Con.-- Edna Fowler, business meeting. Treasurer Jane Litt reported that we had exceeded our allocation for 1960. It was de- cided to buy more books for our lib- rary and it is hoped that all ladies in the Auxiliary will avail themselves interest in Missionary work. Doris Williams was in charge of the devotional, the theme of which was the importance of prayer in our daily lives. Gladys Joblin, from the Study book "Turning World" spoke on the Chapter "Into all the world to- gether" and stressed the necessity of all working in unison. We spoke of the word now being used in reference to 'Missionary work, a word that aptly fits our modern day living--ecumeni- cal--meaning world wide or universal and a word used especially by our Christian Church and its councils, This word "ecumenical" must be | translated into acts of witness, unity and service, The boundaties of 'our of this opportunity to broaden our |g world are shrinking and the future of our existence and religion lie in the way we fulfill the universal need to work to-gether. The meeting closed with the Miz- pah benediction and an enjoyable so- cial time was spent. We again ex- tend an- invitation to any. ladies who find an evening meeting convenient, to join with us in a study of mission work. It is not necessary to"become a member of our organization to join us in our meetings, for we welcome all interested in missionary work and we feel sure you™will find our studies J] interesting and also that you will en- joy an gvening of good fellowship with us, "I'here is no gloom for me -- no rain or shine [f friendly hands reach out to rest in mine." Conservation Comment by Hec The ground hog, the woodchuck or "whiste pig", target for many a farm boy's .22 rifle will soon be rousing from his long spell of Rip Van Winkle. It is quite a nap from the first of October when the ground hog popul- ation went underground until the first of February. The Federation of Ontario Natur- alists tells us that on February 2nd, this animal slowly emerges from his hibernating den to the daylight. If he emerges in bright sunlight and sees his shadow, heat once returns to sleep through -another six weeks of winter weather, If he comes out on a cloudy day and sees no shadow, winter is over and the ground hog remains active. A lovely legend according to the Federation. ° My one and only experience in ad- justing the calendar with the little fellow was a fizzle. Having located a burrow that showed some signs of inward activity I moved in with some Butterball emerged and he did at ap- proximately 9.20 a.m. only three days late, instead of greeting the day with a big stretéh and grin he reeled ground in the snow, dazed puzzed and hungry looking. So help me if he hadn't built in radar he would never couch, Will admit it was rather a foggy morning, however he complete- ly flopped as a weather, prophet. "bird watching" technique. When J. "Have found-his-way-back-to his warm. - Fred Bodsworth writing in Febru- ary Canadian Homes accuses the ground hog of having a hangover when he first opens his door in Feb- ruary and would not recognize his shadow if it fell on him. You know I sort of agree with Mr. Bodsworth, The month of February has been named 'Ground Hog Month', although no one has bothered to inform the ground hog of the fact. The Ontario Heart Fund would like to raise $500,- 000.000 to carry on research against heart diseases which killed some 60,- 000 Canadians last year. Prominent heart specialists would like to know more about the whys and wherefors that allow the ground hog to hiber- nate and stay alive throughout the long winter months at a very low body temperature. . The secret of hypothermia or sus- pended animation seems to be in a gland found only in this animal. If the learned doctors can find out why a normal pulse rate of 80 a minute can drop to about 4 a minute and body temperature can take a dive of 60F in his 'winter siesta, then these conditions transferred to humans will give the doctors sufficient time to complete a major heart operation. If you happen to be out shooting small game, with a licence of course 'and permission from the farmer also, and you see a red patch peering at you from behind a rock pile or stump please don't shoot as he is needed in the scheme of things.
