This was the opinion of A. G. McColl, superintendent of sec- ondary schools, London, guest speaker at the Teachers' Fed- eration meeting. Teachers were present from 20 secondary schools from Goderich to Orangeville. There is an inescapable com- plex of problems never before experienced, said Mr. McColl. "The population explosion, the burst of technology, the dis- covery of new forms of energy, the extension of knowledge, the rise of new nations, and the world-wide rivalry of ideolog- ies." "While many impressive gains have been made," he stated, "many more critical problems remain." If the secondary school of to- morrow is to be markedly bet- ter, it must differ in many ways from the Ontario school of today, he said. "The whole concept of the secondary school—its functions, its curriculum, its organization of instruction, its staffing pat- terns, its facilities for teach- ing and learning, its financing —must undergo basic carefully considered changes." A number of practices follow- ed in a few secondary schools represent efforts to implement new ideas about secondary edu- cation, he added. These are concerned with team teaching, varying the size and composi- tion of classes to fit specific methods of content and instruc- tion. Graduates From RCMP School Constable Gerald Wallis, son of •Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wallis, Bluewater highway, has been recently posted to Brandon, Manitoba, after completing the RCMP training course at Regina, Saskatchewan. Schools Face Greatest Challenge, Teachers Told at Meeting in Listowel "Teacher aides are being in- creasingly employed to assume some of the duties convention- ally handled by teachers, In a number of schools, schedules are becoming more flexible as a result of efforts to modify the length of periods, numbers of periods and the length of the school year," he claimed. Must Heed U.S. He urged his listeners to heed experiments or innova- tions in the United States. "We are altogether too prone to discount ideas which origin- ate from south of the border, I have visited many U.S. schools, and I have always been impressed," he reported. "If education is to be im- proved significantly there must be a reorganization of instruc- tion, One of the most promis- ing ideas in effective staff util- ization is based on the belief that it is a waste of teacher time and ability to assign them duties that can be performed as well or better by non-pro- fessional workers." Leaders of the various study sections at the convention in- cluded two Clinton teachers, Mrs. H. N. Alexander, mathe- matics; Miss M. MacKenzie, French. 0 Mrs. Eva A. Addison Funeral service for the late Mrs. Eva Adella Addison, Lon- desboro, was conducted from the Ball a n d Mutch funeral home on Wednesday, January 30. Mrs. Addison, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Switzer, Goderich Township, was born on May 6, 1921, and passed away in Scott Memorial Hosp- ital, Seaforth, on Sunday, Jan- uary 27, following a short ill- ness. A former resident of Hullett Township, she was a member of the Goderich branch of the Salvation Army, and the fun- eral service was directed by Captain Bailey, Goderich. She is survived by her hus- band, Clifford W. Addison; one son, Garry Clifford, at home; four daughters, Mrs. Harold (Loreen) Raithby, Blyth; Shir- ley, London and Jean and Kar- en, both at home; four broth- ers, Merrill and Willis, Goder- ich Township; Douglas, Hali- fax, Nova Scotia; Bruce, Blyth.

"One of the qualifications of a missionary is that he have a good sense of humour," Rev, J.' C, Thompson, B.A., B.I), district secretary of the Cana- dian Bible Society told the Men's Club at Wesley-Willis United Church, Sunday. Speaking at the club's break- fast meeting, he added that a missionary "has had it if he doesn't have a sense of hum, bur", Rev. Thompson, who spent two terms as a missionary in Trinidad, told of some of his hurnourous incidents in a talk entitled, "it's funny about mis- sions". He reported he found the need for a sense of humour early in his missionary career, He reported that his car was stolen only' two days before he was tb leave for Trinidad and after it had been recovered in time for the trip, he ran out of gas a couple of blocks away from the boat on which he was to sail,' Shortly after his arrival he attended a church function at which a meal was served and most of the ingredients were very hot. He told the men a jug with an iced drink was on the table, but as he had "taken the pledge" he was afraid to take a drink of it. However, he said he couldn't stand the burning sensation any longer and he finally took a drink, and much to his surprise and delight, found it was Coca Cola. Commenting on some of the customs in the West Indies country, he reported the nativ- es considered it "out of taste" to be on time for a wedding. He reported that at his first ceremony the wedding party was two hours late. "They think they shouldn't appear to be too anxious to get married," he stated. Exemplify Hope for Man Rev. Thompson said Trinidad offered a "hope for mankind" as people from all parts of the world were living together in harmony in the country. "This is producing the new man," he commented. He reported the population was made up primarily of .Afri- cans, but many workers were from India and 10 percent of the population were of Europ- ean or North American extrac- tion. He told the men most of his work was done in English as it was the main language and he reported the people were not ignorant. The school system is pattern- ed similar to the English school system. Rev. Thompson, turning his thoughts to more serious as- pects, said there is a strong need for missionary work abroad. He reported there was a new attitude towards the white man in many countries and the Christian faith was being thrown out by these people be- cause it was associated with the white man. "The demand is for people who are willing to live with these people and share with them," he stated. He also pointed out the Bible was the •"tool of the Christian faith" and it was very much needed and needed at a price the people could afford to pay. "The Bible is the basic part of out religion," he added. Rev. Thompson was intro- duced to the club by Rev. Clif- ford. Park and was thanked by Dr. D. J. Lane, chairman of the. Clinton branch of the Bible Society, Who was a Vest at the meeting. President Bill Holland chair- ed the breakfast meeting and the devotions were conducted by Charlie Nelson, Speaks to Qongregation Following the men's club meeting, Rev. Thompson was the guest speaker at the reg- ular church service at the church, and told the congrega- tion of the work of the Bible Society. He reported that Christians "feed the hungry" and added that this meant both the phy- sical and spiritual hunger. "The Bible is the bread of life," he stated, "and we are impoverished if we don't read it daily." We can only live so long on the faith of our fathers, he add- ed. Noting that most people wait until they reach old age before they read the Bible conscient- iously, he told the story of a young student who pointed out his grandmother "was cram- ming for the finals" when he noticed her reading the Bible. The speaker told the congre- gation that the main job of the Bible Society was to encourage the reading and understanding of the Bible. He reported the group had been founded in 1804 and the first translation was made for the Mohawk Indians in Ontario. The Society now has made translations available in 1,200 languages and vernaculars, but there are still 1,500 or 2,000 languages who haven't received the Bible. "Everybody deserves to have the word of God in his own tongue," he stated, "and God shouldn't be a foreigner to any man." Help With Prices He pointed out the problem was to get the Bible to these people at a price they could afford to pay, not in relation to the cost of production. Rev, Thompson noted that a $3.00 Bible was too expensive for a man earning only 10 cents a day, as it would take a whole month's wages to purchase. He reported the Bible So- ciety charged only $1.00 for a Bible in this case and the other $2.00 was made up from the donations they receive in their annual campaign. He said they didn't think the Bible should be given free be- cause it was appreciated more Friendship Club Plans Journey To Ice Capades The Friendship Club of St. Paul's. Church held their meet- ing in the Parish Hall on Wed- nesday night, January 30. Final plans were made for the Valentine card party to be held in the parish hail on Feb- ruary 13. The members have chartered a bus to attend the Ice Cap- ades in Kitchener on Saturday, March 16. A few seats are still available and anyone wish- ing to make the trip should contact Mrs. Joe Murphy' be- fore February 13. May is the month the Friend- ship Club will be in charge of the hospital cart. if people had to pgy some-thing for it, "Maybe we should raise ;the prices for ourselves," he coin, mented, "And I'll wager we would read it then," He explained that the Bible was the basic tool of religion and was even more important to spreading the Gospel than missionaries. In concluding, the speaker thanked the members of the congregation and of the Clin- ton community for their sup- port of the canvass last year, in which over $600 was realiz, ed. Rev. Thompson gave his third talk at the church during the evening, when. Rev. Park play- ed a tape recording of his ad- dress to the Hi-C group, At the same time, Rev. Thompson was speaking to a group in Glencoe. 0 • Report Increased Blood Donations In Canada The Canadian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service has reported that it collected 744,- 006 bottles of blood in 1962, an increase of 64687 bottles over the previous year. Vernon C. Hale, of Hamil- ton, national blood donor chair- man, said that the figure was a new high for blood donations in Canada and represented an increase of 9.52 per cent over 1961. Mr. Hale was enthusiastic about the support of Voluntary donors and stated that due to generosity throughout the year the Canadian Red Cross was able to meet the demands of Canadian hospitals for whole blood and blood products. He estimated almost 300,000 patients received free transfu- sion therapy during the year. Based on the price of blood prior to the introduction of the free blood service, usually $25 per bottle, Red Cross authori- ties estimate that the blood transfusion service saved Cana- dian patients more than 18 mil- lion dollars in 1962. The Red Cross blood trans- fusion service provides free supplies of whole blood and blood products such as serum albumin, gamma globulin, fresh frozen plasma, antihernophilic globulin and fibrinogen to all hospitals and medical practi- tioners in Canada. Since the inauguration of the blood transfusion service in 1947, Canadians have voluntar- ily donated 5,929,360 bottles of their blood to the Red Cross. The Canadian and the Ameri- can Red Cross also have a mut- ual agreement and, in most cases, are able to provide free blood for citizens who may re- quire transfusion therapy while visiting our respective countries, MIDDLETON card Party In spite of ,adverse weather eenditions a xi, d roundabout routes, a successful card party was held in SS 9, Tipperary School last Friday night'under the auspices of the WA of St. james, Middleton.
