The alertness 'of one of the attendants. in; chargee of needles '
at`,the •Lucknow . United Church last week. prevented a . "relief
operation" from being completed and one of the instruments
in, use, • a pair of scissors, from being sewn into the ` finished
product.
Members of the Lucknow. United Church Women ' were -in'
volved in "Operation ° relief quilts." Two of the morning atten- •
dants who set up the operation' did not Count. their instruments
and a lady on' the afternoon crew, probing with her needle, dis-.
covered the . scissors before the ' sewing job , was completed;
• Strangely enough, the topic of conversation at the 'time of
the scissors discovery was to do• with "doctors ' and instru-
ments" and the lady who made 'the discovery commented "I
-wonder 'who operated on this' .quilt and left the scissors in it,"

The. good': health enjoyed. by Rev.
Benson:. C. Cox, and his ' youthful'
and energetic :outlook , on life, is
reflected in •the fact that as he
approaches: his ' 90th birthday, he
has purchased a new typewriter.`
Mr. - Cox will be 90 'on dune 29th.
And its interesting to'. note that
in this issue. he is' offering his
bagpipes . for' 'sale. In ' short it
would seem, that Mr.. '. Cox 'no
longer has. "the wind" •:for the
pipes,' but is keen of mind and`
as 'a world traveller; is spending
more and more time writing.
Rev. p' Mr. .Cox, •a , retired: 'minis
ter who .spent much of .tis. ac-,
tive ministryin ' New York ' City,
returned to his native Kinloss
Township some' years ::ago to re-
tire, but not' to become . inactive,
