- Scugog News On Wednesday evening of April 4, seventeen ladies met at the home of Mrs. Myrtle Manns for the "Head" U.C:W. We were pleased to see Beverley again and also to have Mrs. Lil Moore. The theme for Devotions was 'Joy' based on the Easter story. Mrs. Helen Redman read the Scripture from Matt 28: 1 - 10 which described the events when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre. Mrs. Clara Dowson offered a prayer and Mrs. Marilyn Tripp con- ducted the study on periods of special "Joy" especially - at Easter over the Risen Lord. During roll call we were requested to name the most, time-saving gadget in our kitchen. A word of appreciation for card received was expressed by Mrs.Ethel Redman. 19 forfeit calendars with the donations were turned in. There are still 7 out. They seemed to have created considerable discussion and fun. During business period it was learned we have quite a busy schedule in catering to 5 weddings, an Art show for April 11 (to-day), our U.C.W. 25th anniversary celebration (for which invitations have gone out).
