smaller still, sighed, and put
it in her basket. She looked
carefully through the pack
ages of kidnegdh liver, and
other organ meats and moved
on. Then she discarded the
package of chicken remnants
from her basket, and selected
a large package of something
that I could see was meat
labelled “pet food”

She moved off in the direc
tion of the vegetables, and as
I followed along behind her,
she selected a small onion
and three small potatoes. She
then shuffled off in the direc-
tion of the cashier.

I went about my shopping

with a heavy heart. I felt
exceedingly guilty, as I
selected large porterhouse
steaks, baking potatoes, fresh
asparagus, romaine lettuce,
shrimp, baking chocolate and
heavy cream for my dinner
party menu. “As I continued
with my list of more mun
dane, everyday items, I could
not forget the scene I had just
witnessed. Finally, I just gave
up on the rest of my list and
headed for the cashier

The fun had gone out of the
dinner party plans. As_I stood
in line, my shopping cart
piled high, I was thinking to
myself “all this food for two
people, and one dinner
party!” The cashier was
friendly. We had been shop-
ping together for years.

She smiled brightly and
Said, “someone's going to
have a lovely dinner!” I
smiled wanly and allowed
that “yes, I'm planning a din-
ner party.” “Did you notice
that corn is on special she
asked. “Yes,” I replied, “but I
think I have a full basket”

She nodded in agreement
and went on with her check-

ing through the contents from
my shopping cart, “That will
be $127.46" she said, As I
completed my. personal
cheque I thought about the
amount of food, the amount
of money, and the tiny old
woman | had watched, and, as
a goose walked
As I drove down the street
from the supermarket to our
house, | saw the old woman
again. She was moving slow-
ly along the sidewalk,-obvi-
ously now enjoying the bright
sunshine. She was looking at
the flowering trees and the
flowers in the boulevard
As I came up beside her,
she caught the sight of some
children playing in the park
and moved off toward a
bench where she was obvi-
ously going to sit for a while
I continued along my way
home, thinking about her and
her shopping
Suddenly, I realized I
wanted to do something about
what I had witnessed, if just a
cup of tea and a smile. I
4 drove around the block and
circled back. The bench was

S

empty. The woman was gone

I checked the side streets
No one. The children chat-
tered noisily, the breeze waft
ed through the flowering
shrubs. I was filled with an
incredible sadness as I drove
slowly homeward

I wish I could tell you that
from that day forward I have
been a prudent shopper,
donating half my weekly gro-
céry bill to the needy. In
actual fact, it was a decade or
more before I even remem-
bered the incident

It is true, that at some
point in one’s life, for a brief
moment, you witness some-
thing that changes your per-
spective forever. Today, I
know there are many women

. like the one I saw that day in

the supermarket. Their lives
are very difficult, and they
are surviving on very little

Having raised their chil-
dren, they now take the last
place in line behind the
younger women with chil
dren, for the children have
been our priority. The little
old women are used up, dis-
carded, and forgotten

TO KNOW CHRIST AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN

St. Rita's Parish, Castlegar who is presently in Holland.

If prayer is talking with God, then the canons of polite conversation should apply.

VARY THE TOPICS OF CO!

TION. Adoration, th ng, contrition and petition

are broad outlines of prayer.

DON'T TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT YOURSELF. A conversation in which the most frequently

used words are I, ME and

MY can become boring. God deserves to be treated as more than a good audience for our monologue
There are times when we have to unburden our soul and God will always be our best listener.
DON'T MONOPOLIZE THE CONVERSATION. It seems contradictory to say prayer is talking to God and then tell God to be silent. Without
a period of reverent quiet, we are like people who ask questions and run off without waiting for the answer.
BE AMUSING. When reviewing the day's happenings, remember the silh’ mishaps that could be included in a movie comedy
Look at the time when you mailed the grocery list with the wedding R.S.V.P
REMEMBER THE MAGIC WORDS: PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Some of our blessings are for a long time (good health),
others are one time (graduation). But we must remember ‘please’ is translated into French S'il vous plait’, iif it pleases you’

THY WIL

LL BE DONE

COMPLIMENT THE OTHER PERSON. God doesn't need our praise, but we need to give it: alleluia, hosanna,

Glore Be. or

longer daxologies.

SAY HELLO. God is always with us. but there may be times when we are aware to God's presence and say nothing,
We can pause mentally and say My Lord and my God’, or ‘Jesus, my Lord
BE POSITIVE. Lord, I am not worthy’ begins the centurian’s prayer, but the conclusion is full of hope and trust
We need to remember that God is a surprise and our petitions aré not always answered as we expected or hoped they would be.

The Canadian Doukhobor Society

The Canadian Doukhobor Society of Canada in co-operation with Multiculturalism and Citizenship Canada will be sponsoring a workshop
on Saturday, June 26, 1993 entitled "DISCOVERIES IN DOUKHOBORISM". This workshop will benefit all people of Doukhobor and non-
Doukhobor background. The guest speaker, Norman Rebin of the Pinehurst Institute, Almonte, Ontario has agreed to facilitate the
workshop. Mr. Rebin has been described by his worldwide audiences as the ‘Emerson of Canada’, and the ‘Speechmaker Supreme’. These
accolades are part of the exceptional tribute to one who was hailed a "speaking prodigy” at the age of five. In the ensuing 43 years, Norman

has delivered or conducted over 4,000 speeches, seminars and workshops on four continents of the world. What is the bedrock

Give blood and give the gift of life

Submitted

Take a minute to count your
blessings. If you're in good
health you are truly blessed—just
ask anyone awaiting surgery in
hospital. There's a way that you
can share your good health and
let it benefit someone less fortu
nate

By being a Red Cross blood
donor you share your good health
with people undergoing treatment
and surgery in hospital. It costs
you nothing to donate blood, yet
it can mean life itself to the per
son receiving it

There will be blood donor
clinics in Trail Tuesday, June 8
from 2:00-8:00 p.m., and

Wednesday, June 9 from. 1:30.
8:00 p.m. at the Cominco Memo-
nal-Centre Gymnasium, and in
Nelson June 10 from 2:00-8:00
p.m. in Maryhall at the Canadian
International Colle

You can donate blood every
70 days,” said Patricia Marshall
Thompson, Blood Donor Recruit
ment’ Coordinator for the
Kootenay Region "Each day the
Red-Cross must collect over 700
units of blood just to meet the
requirements of hospitals in
B.C.”

In addition to having good
health, blood donors must also. be
between the ages of 17 and 71
(first time donors restricted at age
60) and weigh more than_5().kilos
(110 pounds). You should also

not be on any medication (there
are a few exceptions).

Donors are advised to have a
substantial meal within four
hours of coming to the clinic and
to allow an hour for the donation
process. Donors are asked to
bring their blood donor card
First time donors need to provide
identification,

The average person has
between 4,500 and 5,400 ml. (10
12 pints) of blood in their body.
The Red Cross needs only 450
ml. (one pint), which is quickly
replaced by the body with no ill
effects. Your donation ensure that
blood is there when needed for
your neighbor, friend and Joved
ones in need. For more informa

While some gardeners prepare their
soil a season ahead, others plant just
after conditioning the soil. You'll want
to “build” your soil from the ground
down, amending it by working two
inches of Canadian Sphagnum peat
Moss into the top six inches of soil
Because perennials are a long-term
investment in beauty, amending the
soil is well worth the effort

Amending the soil with plentiful
Sustainable sphagnum peat moss does
double duty. Not only does it correct
the pH of an alkaline soil because of .its
high pH level (3.8 to 4.5), it improves
the friability as well. (“Friabie” is a
term that refers to a soil thar is Idose
enough for water and air to pass
through freely, yét sticky enough that
individual particles bind together.)

A fistful of moist, friable soil forms
a ball in the hand and then crumbles
and falls apart when. you release the
pressure.

Fertility also is important, as most
perennials do best when the soil is
above-average in fertility or is “rich.”
Be sure to choose a fertilizer that
works for your perennial, and follow
Manufacturer's instructions
