On a drizzly third Wednesday in May, seventeen members and two visitors including General President Mavis Brodie, were welcomed to the bright cosy home of Margaret Mountjoy. After our usual coffee break ac- companied by delicious sweets, our unit leader Oney Gauld open- ed the meeting by thanking Margaret for hosting the meeting, thanking the committee and members for their hard work at the successful stew supper and thanking members for their con- tributions and help at the recent funeral receptions. She welcomed back our two travelling members who have spent the winter out of our country. There was considerable discus- sion regarding places to visit for our June excursion. Eventually a committee of Jean Kyte, Shirley Turner and Kathleen Dorrell was appointed to make inquiries, and - if possible arrangements to visit Mrs. Sanderson at Janetville to view her button collection, have lunch at Franklin House and visit the Art Gallery at Bethany. At this juncture members quickly and agreeable volunteered to supply food and help for the many and varied ac- tivities that are scheduled for May and June. Minutes of the March meeting and April activities were read and adopted. Stew Supper treasurer, Dorothy Venning, gave a detailed report of the stew supper. The bot- tom line was a net profit of $851.51. Jean Kyte thanked Dorothy for her splendid report and also for her personal con- tribution of the flowers for the tables and printed tickets. Our unit treasurer reported that $112.00 had been handed to the general treasurer from our March meeting. Lois Luke had charge of the Worship which was entitled "Crumbs." She likened the crumbs that may be gathered together to make a delicious bread pudding, to our talents. Many of us think our talents are small and not worth much but who could not use a few crumbs of our time and talents to bring light and joy to others. Could we read to someone; visit someone; talk to someone: listen to someone; help someone "vith shopping; take someone for a drive. The ideas are endless. The offering was received and dedicated. In the absence of Eleanor Werry, Alma Duff had charge of the programme. She gave us some pertinent thoughts about eliminating impatience - did it really matter? live in the here and now - not in the future. She also advised us to plan for unexpected delays when meeting important IF YOUR AD WAS HERE Over 20.000 people could have read it this week. That's a lot of potential customers for your business.

She assured us that it was very sim- ple although to many of us it look- ed very complicated. President Mavis Brodie thank- ed us for the "Stew" we sent her while whe was convalescing after surgery. She said it titillated her appetite. She also reminded us of the General U.C.W. meeting at the church at 7:30 p.m. on May 30th. Carol Thornton will be speaking on "Stress" at this meeting. Group leader Oney asked everyone to remember in her prayers, Eleanor Werry and her family, at this time of grieving for her father. She then closed the meeting with our benediction and waited patiently for the last cars parked to be moved so that the first cars parked could go home.
