The occasion was a visit to see for only the second time, Nan- cy's penpal of 34 years - Deanna Halligan and her family Ken and girls Kendra 10 and Dedra 8. Bob travelled with Ken in his job driving a semi-delivering milk to Kansas Ci- ty, Kansas. Nancy visited the girls' school and also Deanna's school in Woodward where she is a commer- cial teacher. Similar to our own high school in age and size, it has 177 students plus a kindergarten to grade 8 school us- ing the same facilities on the same property. Des Moines is a city of 300,000 with the architecture of the buildings and home so very different. A birthday celebration was held for Nancy before leaving for home on a holiday never to be forgotten. by Jean Mountjoy-Secretary Couples tie knot in flurry of wedding bells | After summer vacation, the U.C.W. afternoon unit held its meeting at the home of unit leader Grace Hall. With 16 members pre- sent and following our scrumptious dessert of carrot cake and ice cream, Grace opened the meeting with the poem, "A New Beginning." A welcome asking everyone to tell some of the highlights of her sum- mer and the Roll Call was answered with an item taken from an Observer. The program was conducted by Thelma Wright and taken from the Special Edition of Mandate "Create in Crisis" and 'Drastic Change' - a look at what'happens when a com- munity is no longer viable. A very interesting discussion took place with members expressing their thoughts, experiences and ex- periences of their parents and grandparents. Devotional was conducted by Grace using as her theme "Who Are The Poor?' and after discussion it seems that the poor are somehow we ourselves. Everyone has special needs, whether it be food, money, friendship, acceptance, etc. The meeting closed with a short business session. The Jack and Jill knit items are to be turned in at the October meeting. The September general meeting will be held on the 30th, an evening meeting with Gordon and Leona Taylor from the Thomas Crosby Mission Boat as guests. it is our hope that there will be a good tur- nout. Do try to come and bring others with you. Plans for the October games night were cancelled but plans are under- way to have a monthly collection for the food bank which is in great need. 60,000 people in Toronto are receiv- ing from the food bank there and Oshawa has a great many needing help. Food can be distributed through the Salvation Army as no food bank has been established yet.
