The Day of Pentecost
Baby Bundles LWMLC
Thanks to the industry and generosity of all our helpers, the second delivery of
baby bundles (38) was sent to CLWR on Tuesday, May 12th making a total of 57
sent this winter! Bags of donated baby clothes and yard sale scouting has our
shelf swelling again. Diapers are ready for hemming. Yard sale shoppers could
look for sleepers, T-shirts and receiving blankets. Many thanks and God’s
blessings on all donors and workers. Shirley Gould

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
A fire started in the grasslands close to a farm. The county fire department rushed to the
scene, but the fire was more than they could handle. Someone suggested calling the
volunteer fire department. Despite some doubt that they would be of any assistance, they
were called. The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight
towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped. The firefighters
jumped from the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had
snuffed out the centre of the fire and left two parts which were easily put out. As the farmer
watched all this, he was impressed and grateful that his house and farm had been spared.
He quickly got out his chequebook and donated $1,000 to the volunteer fire department.
A local news reporter asked the volunteer captain how they planned to use the funds. The
captain replied, “The first thing we’re gonna do is get the brakes on our fire truck fixed.”
