Mrs. Mildred Goard Region 1 Rally of Lindsay Presbyterial United Church Women was held in Seagrave United Church. The theme was 'How much do we care' and this was worked into the agenda of the meeting as a whole. Following the opening exercises the Roll Call was answered with a Mission Project in which each U.C. W. is participating. Mrs. Taylor introduced Mrs. Hewitt who is a part time volunteer worker at the om | r= Of Facts And Fantasy by Reta M. Berrill FROM A KITCHEN WINDOW. To all appearances it's the aftermath of a tiny hurricane. This residue of winter -- an accumulation of debris to make us wonder--can we ever command sufficient courage? For surely, with each passing year it becomes more and more apparent that, plant-growth speed up as we slow down. But Spring is out there now, with sunshine and a gentle breeze, and in her many ways, Nature stirs. As we should be stirring too. But it's an ideal day for dreaming, for meditation or, just to watch gur own small world wake up. And while we ponder--. A cottontail scurries across the garden enroute from hedge to hedge; stops and contemplates. Then, quite slowly ambles on. Perhaps this disarray promotes nostalgia for some distant woodland home, or, 'might' this be his reincarnate world? And a saucy squirrel lopes away across another lawn--unhappily we think. Having watched him check and doubly check the feeders; unwilling to accept the facts--they're empty. He could easily feast in fashion from his store of treasure; assorted tidbits hoarded, or stashed for his rainy-day in every nook and cranny. But has long-ago concluded that stolen food tastes better, and entails a lot more fun. Through minor miscalculations the robins re- turned many weeks too soon. And now--appetites jadedwyith foreign food are attacking a rockery-bank, a. and hungrily beseech the mellowing soil. Intrigued--and, as the dead leaves scatter we can almost hear them chuckling '"Earthworms, here we come!"' Meanwhile, the ground is strewn with deadwood from the older trees, 'downed' by winter winds. There's tangled flower-stalks, ragged borders and edges overgrown; those blatent telltales of another year's neglect. Yet, beneath it all, life glows. Hyacinths and early daffodils have already burst their seams with eagerness. And the old forsythia in its sheltered place is preening; in her usual way preparing to explode with colour, rather than to make it by degrees. Where the ground is least littered the grass grows green; rhubarb-roots push bright-red noses through dark brown earth, and, from a thick dank carpet of leaves, myriads of fresh-green tips have raised their heads and squint at the sun. A first 'hello.' Other birds, in pairs inspect the upper branches with home-plans in mind--ready to settle down. While their counterparts cavort capriciously hither and yon, enjoying no doubt, that last unfettered fling. Our neighbours who assigned their garden to winter in impeccable condition, now walk there in the sunshine, looking for things to do and rousing our feelings of guilt. But alas. So much can be accomplished with the right day "and the right mood. And they'll come--they always do. Then, barring illness, it does get done. Well--almost. And now. . . One more look reveals that the garden table and feeders will soon be screaming for paint. the bird-bath remains inverted harassing the would-be users and, oh, goody! It's raining! And with it comes, instant reprieve. 985-2066 WHERE GOOD FOOD IS ON THE MENU EVERYDAY Reserve our Banquet Room FACILITIES FOR: o PARTIES © MEETINGS o RECEPTIONS (of groups up to 40 people) "Enjoy our cosy fireplace atmosphere" Dining and Banquet Rooms are now licenced under L.L.B.O.

Miss Yeo of Uxbridge, who worked for 32 years on Mission Work in Nigeria spoke in the afternoon. She divided her message into 3 parts calling them 3 hours. The 1st hour is for prayer. We rejoice in the week that has been carried on and as God's children take time for prayer and the results will be far reaching. The 2nd hour is AE Missions could not \! vhat they are today if it were not for our givings. The 3rd hour is to go, for indi- viduals to teach or nurse or as short term workers. Mrs. D. Hadden introduc- ed Miss Bessie Lane, Direc- tor of Field Education and Dean of Residence at the Centre for Christian Study in Toronto.
