Over 270 pupils of the intermediate department and the primary packed the choir loft, surrounded the pulpit and occupied the front pews of the church. There were few seats left in the large auditorium that were not filled by parents and friends of the school children. The superintendent, Mr. Car- frey Cann, presided and wel­ comed those present. The pastor. Rev. H. J. Snell, introduced the guest speaker, Rev. Ross Crosby, of St. Marys. Two numbers were sung by the i>rimary led by Miss Helen Shapton. The intermediates led the singing and provided two numbers directed by Mr. Law­ rence Wein with Mr. Gordon Koch at the piano. Mr. Crosby's subject was “Three important things,” He gained the attention of his young audience with his first question, “What do you wish?” and fol­ lowed it up with two others, “What do you know?” and “What do you do?”. He empha­ sized the importance of our desires, the knowledge that we acquire and of putting into practice those ideals and prin­ ciples that tend to make a happy and successful life, In the evening rhe service was especially for the young people, with the junior choir leading the service of song. There was a splendid attendance and Mr. Crosby made a deep impression on his audience when he took tor his subject “The point of no return.” Exeter Kinsmen Elect Officers Exeter Kinsmen elected Ray Frayn© their president for the coming term on Friday night.

Tidal Wave Rocks Huron A sudden tidal wave hit Lake Huron Monday and caused dam­ age along the lake shore. At Grand Bend, water com­ pletely flooded the south bank of the river, washing out the fisher­ man’s road for about 20 minutes. The swirls sent huge logs sailing UP the river way beyond the highway bridge. Residents reported the wave much higher than in 1945. At other places along Lake Huron, the wave drove fishing boats weighing as much as 20 tons onto docks, smashed bridges and bounced pleasure craft and at least one cottage about like flotsam. Scientists explained the pheno­ menon as a “seiche”—a sudden change in water level caused by quick alteration in barometric pressure together with the proper arangement of winds.
