Page 8—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Farm Women Society No. Eight hear bell music at Donegal Church A delightful program of bell music was presented on Sept. 15th at Donegal Presbyterian Church when members of Farm Women Society #8 held their monthly meeting there. The bells were played by the Golden Belles, a group of eight ladies from a Lancas- ter senior citizens group based at Covenant United Methodist Church. Under the leadership of Mrs. Anne Gayley, the Belles played old hymns and popular songs. Society #8 president Kathryn Heisey conducted the meeting, and Mrs. Evelyn Russell brought devotional thoughts about autumn. Members respond- ed to the roll call by naming their favorite musical instru- ments. The organ was the most popular. 24 members and 16 guests, including special guests from Society #29, were present. Alice Myers read a letter of appreciation from Miss Christine Erb, whom the society sponsored as an IFYE representative. Chris- tine is now living in a rural section of Japan. Another letter was read, this one from Ms. Ester Stuber, registration co- ordinator for the county. She urged all members to improve their community by becoming active in govern- ment, and voting. There is still time to register for the next election. Five local Farm Women were the guests of Society #9 on August 16. They assisted the residents of Conestoga View and distri- buted gifts. The Lancaster County Convention will be held on November 7th. The speaker will be Mrs. Marie Geib of Chambersburg. Her topic will be ‘highway to Happiness.”” Tickets, at $5.50, may be bought from the treasurer of Society #8, Elizabeth Shuman. A fellowship hour follow- ed the business meeting.

Clair Ginder, Parent of the Week bases parenting on Christianity [continued from back page] Mrs. Ginder said that her husband respects each of their children as an individual, spends time with each individually, and she adds, ‘‘Each is different.” Mr. Ginder said, ‘‘I try to spend as much time as I can with each child, but it’s not the quantity but the quality of the time that counts. I try to make sure I listen to them, so that they don’t always have to be listening to me. We can learn from our children, just as they can learn from us. ‘‘Sometimes we ask our children questions: ‘how was your day in school?’ or ‘how was soccer?’ and then we don’t listen to their answers. '] think it is alse important for us to listen to what they would like to have in the way of material things. Sometimes you have to explain why they can’t have some things. But be sure to listen. We can always say ‘no,” but we should explain to them.”’ Mrs. Ginder said, ‘“He’s a good, all-around person.”’ A good parent is a good person. Toward the end of the interview Mr. Ginder said about his wife Mary, ‘“‘As my mother used to say, whenever a problem came up, ‘Well, go ask Mary.’ She really is the backbone of this family. She is more than a wife, a mother, or a nurse. I guess you could say she is an inspiration. She is just the greatest to us.” Classifieds are free in the TIMES!

There will be 30 hunting days during the regular statewide archery deer season which closes on Friday, November 2, one day before the opening of the general small game season. Sunday hunting is prohibited. Use of bow and arrow is also permitted during the regular antlered and antler- less seasons in late November and December. Archers are permitted to take one deer of either sex, regardless of size. If a hunter tags a deer during the archery season, he or she is not permitted to take another whitetail during the regular gunning season. Hunting hours for bow- benders are from one half hour before sunrise until sunset. In addition to a regular resident or nonresident hunting license, an archery license is required to hunt deer with bow and arrow during the archery seasons. The Game Commission reminds archers that a mechanical release for a bow of any kind is still unlawful. Arrows must be of a cutting-edged broadhead design for big game and turkeys. Successful archers are reminded to tag their deer immediately, and to return their big game report card to the Game Commission within five days of the taking of the deer. ceremony of turning the first shovel of dirt. The invocation for the ceremony was performed by James Gish; the dedication by Rev. Reapsome; and the dedication and remarks by John Hiestand. ‘““Who among us,’’ asked Hiestand, ‘‘thought four- teen years ago that when we broke ground for the current sanctuary that we would be here again with a larger group?’’ Hiestand has been involved in three such church ground-breaking ceremonies in Marietta. poy BARGAIN OF THE WEEK 3 rooms of furniture $777.00 Bed Room Suite complet with Serta bedding. 8 piece Living Room group- ing; sofa, chair (early American or Modern, choice of colors), 2 end tables with matching coffee table, 2 decorator lamps, choice of any oil painting in the store. 5 piece Dinnette, with a butcher block top.
