These are their stories:
s ck. Once I was Dein; used
v ry day when the children were
at ore opening and closing the
door, but now, I am only used
by the few passers-by who tied
interest In the old stone house I
call home. All of the memories
I know so well are gone, never
to live again. l remember the
creaking of the hinges on cold
wintry nights when the old
weather-beated door was opened
slowly when parents were in bed
and children were supposed to be,
when the old home, now a place
of silence, was filled with
laughter and gaiety, with child-
ren prancing in and out yelling
for all they were worth. Those
were the days, when Christmas
was a time of giving not receiving,
when Santa Claus was thought of
as a kindly Spirit who gave mostly
to the poor. The sounds' of the
crackling fire ' are gone, along
with all the things I knew so well.
Forever, lost.

What Christian Development
Means to You' was the theme
of the annual meeting of the
Huron-Perth Presbyterial
United Church Women held in
Northside United Church, Wed-
nesdAY; -
The day long meeting was
attended by 382 delegates from
the 18 congregations in Huron
, and Perth Counties. Mrs.Stuart
Shier of H.R.!, St. Marys pre-
sided for the meeting.
During the business session
Mrs. Walter McDonald, R.R,1,
Gadshill, treasurer, reported
that $62,213.38 had been for-
warded to the Mission and Ser-
vice Fund of the United Church
in Toronto.
Rev. Hugh Moorhouse of Mil-
verton was the moderator for
the four-member panel who ex-
plained in the morning session
'What Christian Development
Means To Me'. On the panel
were Mrs. Marion Gilmore,
Stratford; Mrs. Jack Broughton
of Atwood; Miss Linda Coxon,
Stratford and Rev. Richard Bon-
steel, also of Stratford.
Mrs. Gilmore, a former
teacher, a mother and a grand-
mother, spoke of the home and
christian development. She
said the basic foundation in the
development of the personality
is the underlying trust and love
between members of a family.
The home must provide for the
child to grow in self esteem
and love others outside the home.
His Christian development must
begin with the attitude of his
parents.
Mrs. Gilmore said a child
must learn that it is man's re-
sponsibility to learn to use the
resources for the good of all.
Miss Coxon, a student at
Central Secondary School in
Stratford, said she believed teen-
agers should try to attend church
regularly as "Church is a place
to study life and' to help our-
selves and others around us with
the problems we all have in this
day and age". She said in every
generation people between the
ages of 14 and 20 have not
attended church frequently but
after marrying and the arrival of
the children they return as
regular church members.
She said she was confirmed
into th'e church at fifteen but
thought it too young an age to
make such an important decision
as committing yourself to be a
christian.
Miss Coxon stressed the im-
portance of Bible study which
should never end.
Mrs. Broughton, a public
Health Nurse in Perth County,
said: "We have to love, accept
and deal with'OtifselVegliefoi'eWe
can love and accept others".
She stressed the importance of
being responsible in our dealings
with others.
Mrs. Broughton said, "If you
don't take your beliefs seriously,
your kids won't either."
In concluding, Mrs. Brough-
ton said, "We often forget .that
even the smallest act of kind-
ness is a gift of love and should
be accepted as such. The most
important part of giving is the
personal friendly touch, the
love that goes along with the
gift."
Mr. Bonsteel, a probation
officer for Perth, said that when
a person breaks the law and ends
up in prison he would not wel-
come the minister who arrives
officiously. If the minister went
as a friend, he would be grate -
fully received, Mr. Bonsteel
said, and then rimy be able to
help.
He• urged church members to
become an outgoing, concerned
group -- to reach out to the
people who need them most, thus
growing toward Christian
development.
Reports by the varibus corn-
mittees were given by means of
. a skit performed by the execu-
tive members, Shoulders to the
Wheel, in which each committee
was considered a spoke in the
wheel.
The highlight of the afternoon
session was the address by Mrs.
Patricia Clarke, Toronto, Asso-
ciate Editor of the United Church
Observer.
She said that people complain
that ; wpmen are top busy in the
community to coo Church "WOK'
but churCh work is not what you
do inside the church building. we
can think of the church as a
tralpfng centre to prepare people
to go out and use their Christianity
in a hundred different places, she
said, The church is not a build-
ingLI t ople, she added.

I AM A DOOR KNOW
Many years ago when I was
born; I don't knew who my,motber
was or who my father was, I
had four brothers . who were
screws and one sister who was a
key. As I grew up I learned
my purpose in life. Together with
my brothers and sisters we made
up a door knob.
When I was very early in
life, -1 was put into a box with
my brothers and sisters. We
were then put into a wagon and
were taken to an old store. We
were there for about four months.
Then we saw-a new couple come
in. We had never ken them
before. But as soon as we did,
we fell in love with them. This
must have been our lucky day
for they had built a new house
and had a special door to put
a door knob on. it was the door
in the parlor. Then they saw
us and they fell in love with us
immediately. She was the best
friend I ever had. She always
"\ told me my bedtime story until
she died. Poor girl! I still
haven't got over it although she
died over eighty years ago. And
here I sit all alone except for
my four screwy brothers and my
sister, the key!

stand just waiting for the home-
Wrecker to destroy the lovely
vliume which the Jones owned about
a century ago. Now and then I
long to be working for them. I
was always full of wood and burn-
ing. The crackling wood sounded
so nice and the ashes kept
warm while I was not going. he
stew they cooked on me was
scrumptious. Mama Jones
always hung the boys coveralls
over me when they came from
outside after a hard work-out. I
loved to work for that family but
now I am all ajone just wait-

DOOR KNOB
I remember back in France
when I was delivered to a black-
smith's shop run by a father and
son. I was a dull, unshined
piece of brass just waiting to be
used. Unfortunately I was at
the back of the shelf and when
it got around to my turn to be
used, a new load of brass would
come. But finally one day it
came to my turn .once again. I
heard the father say to his son
"Best shine up that old hunk of
brass because a tall man just
came in and wanted a brass
doorknob for his son before he
went to the hugse built for him
in the new land they call Canada.
So the-next morning I was thrown
into a very hot fire. It became
s hot that- I ituted to melt
but right at that point I was
pulled out. After hundreds of
strikes from, a hammer and
whole bunch of other things strik-
ing, rubbing, scratching and tick-
ling me I was ready. The next
day I was picked up by that man
and was taken for a long ride.
In an hour or so I was delivered,
packed in a box and on the ship
facing towards the newly dis-
covered land Canada.
It to'Src'''a) niOntif 'cif before
we got there but it was well
worth waiting for. As soon as I
got out .of my packing box I
was very crudely attached to the
door. The first time I was used
I was treated aS if I was made
out of gold but as the years

BACK IN THEOOODOL'DAYS
One fine morning in early
spring, •
When the_bluebirds began to
sing
Little Jimmy Brown hopped
out of bed,
With springtime thoughts
dancing in his head.
When he ran outside singing
with glee,
He grabbed the doorknob, Hey
that's me!
I'll _stop for a moment to
introduce thyself,
I'm Dora Doorknob from the
the hardware shelf. ' .
Well, Jimmy Brown. is gone
right now,
They say he got in his car-
riage and El(erpow'l
Well, that was a very long
time ago,
How I 'can remember it I'll
never know!
This house and I, we're a
historic attraction today,
And folks, to see us, come
a long, leg way.
Well, when I look where that
little boy plays,
I remember Jimmy Brown,
