Pink satin bows adorned the pews. The double-ring marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. A. J. Mowatt or Clinton. Traditional wedding music was provided by organist, Mr. Lorne Dotterer of Goderich. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Pyke and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Rohner, all or Clinton. Given In marriage by her father, the bride chose an Empress line gown of silk cloud with Victorian neckline and Juliet sleeves. The front bodice, neckline and cuffs were trimmed with Swiss Guipure lace. The skirt, which fell full at the back, forming a long Cathedral train, agionimmim. While decorations, and gift buying are the order of the day for most of us now that Christmas is but" days away, Christmas activities have been under way at the Children's Aid Society's office in Goderich since October, The local Children's Aid Society has operated a Christmas Bereau for several years, and this year has seen an earlier start in preparation due to the increased requests for help in the past years; last year approximately 140 families and over 500 children in the County community were helped at Christmas. For many families the Children's Aid Society was the only resource for a Christmas dinner and gifts for the children. "The Children's Aid Society Christmas Bureau is essentially a community volunteer project," indicated Bruce Heath, Local Director of the Huron County Children's Aid Society," and reflects three major voluntary projects of the Society merging into one at Christmas time. "The Auxiliary Committee of the Board has undertaken the the task of making over 500 pairs of pyjamas, and distributing wool for mitts, scarfs, and other articles of clothing, earlier in the year. The finished products will all be distributed at Christmas. Right after Thanksgiving, Mrs. Dorothy Scott, who has served as the Society's Christmas Visitor for several years commenced a personal visit to families referred in the County to assess the needs of the family, and channel Christmas dinner requests and gift suggestions back into the Society where all requests are centrally indexed. Here Mrs. A. Tyreman, who co-ordinates the Children's Aid Society Clothing Rooms throughout the year takes over with her volunteers to select, wrap and package the Christmas gift boxes. "While the Children's Aid Society can provide its office facilities, and volunteers provide their important time and effort, the key to the success of a Christmas Bureau is really in the hands of the community at large", notes Heath. "We see ourselves only in the role of a co-ordinator body or agent of the public. Meeting the needs of the children and families referred to us is directly dependent on the response of the people of Huron County. In 1970, approximately $2,000 was donated to the Society to underwrite the costs involved for Christmas dinner expenses, and ehildrens' gifts. The donations of toys and clothing directly to the Society could not easily be estimated, but from the quantity and obvious quality of these, I suspect their value would be at least three or four times our actual money donations." For several past years, and again in 1971, Church organizations, fraternaties, sororities, service clubs, youth groups, schools have taken it upon themselves to provide gifts and money as a community project for those less fortunate in the community. "We have noted also mere private individuals sending in donations in the past few years. It is also particularly gratifying to see some small donations coming from those who have been helped in the past." Several community groupl have chosen to "adopt" a particular family for the Christmas Season, and have added a personal touch to their giving, "We are most desirous of making our Christmas project as individually satisfying and personal as possible, In most cases, we arrange the actual gift deliveries to the homes at a time and in such a way that the parents can be seen as the providers in the eyes of the children, and not an outside agency. Similarly the Christmas dinners are arranged largely by provision of individual purchase orders to the family." Indications are that referrals to the Christmas Bureau will reach an all time high this year. By Dec. 1, requests had exceeded the total for 1970, and are still coming into the Society's office in Goderich. "Our primary purpose in operating a Christmas Bureau is to provide a "Christmas" for those unable to do so for themselves. As equally important, however, is the co-ordination of donations with the requests for help, and elimination of any duplication, "stressed Heath." We have to be realistic about the provision of Christmas dinners and gifts, In meeting held The Clintonian Club met on Thursday afternoon Dec. 2, at the home of Mrs. Hopson. The President' Mrs. F. Cummings called the meeting to order. The Housewife's Creed and the Lord's Prayer were repeated in unison. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Roll call was answered by 20 members reading a Christmas verse. The treasurer gave the financial statement. Mrs. G. Glazier reported for the card committee and Mrs. H. Adams reported for the flower committee. There had been 33 home visits and 41 visits made to hospital the past month. The work committee reported a quilt had been quilted the past month. A donation of $25.00 was A few months ago a lady went to court, claiming she was Jesus Christ, and entered a lawsuit against Dr. Billy Graham, and a couple of Oklahoma pastors, claiming one was St. Luke, and one was St. Peter and the other St. Paul (all three denied the allegations!). How the real significance of such actions is that there are always people who attempt to intimidate anyone they cannot manipulate. A few years ago a draft-dodging, college drop-out published a lot of lies and insinuations about the Protestant clergy as being heavily infiltrated by "communists", yet he utterly failed to name even one. Nonetheless, many gullible people believed him and sent him money for his "crusade." Reactionary laymen its many denominations take up cudgels of organized hostility and gross dishonesty against their own churches and leadership, for daring to proclaim a word which doses hot fit their particular bias or prejudice. The trouble is not that there are always emotionally disturbed and inadequate people in religious organizations, but that sincere, competent people will follow such sickness without question, and some whole denominations have based their actions on fear of losing money and membership from these kinds of people. It is impetative that those who intend to live in freedom and to 4`go on to maturity' (Hebrews 6:1), refuse to buy the einotionally stirring spirits of hate and discord which are sowed by those whom Jesus several communities this is a shared activity with service and Church groups; in many cases, these same groups have in the past and will again this year be primarily responsible for families known or referred to them. I believe this should be encouraged, otherwise our own Christmas Bureau could become too large, and lose a great deal of the personal touch that has always characterized it," If any bona fide representative of a service club or church group wishes to check the referral index at the Bureau, a call or letter to the Children's Aid Society office at 524-7356 or in care of 181 Victoria Street, North, Goderich, would be appreciated. The Bureau indicates that they are facing a shortage of mitts, scarfs, and caps for all children's age groups, New toys or good used toys, along with good articles of used clothing, books in good condition, and appropriate gifts for the teenager are much in demand, and would be gratefully received. Those wishing to contribute money can do so by cheque or money order in the ,name of the Children's Aid Society - Christmas Fund for which receipts for income tax purposes will be sent out. Dec. 2 voted on for the Salvation Army. The Dutch Auction winners were Mrs. Thornlike, Mrs. Managhan and Mrs. Adams. The mystery prize went to Mrs, Falconer. The program for the afternoon was readings by Mrs. Cummings, a reading and several mouth organ selections by Mrs. M. Nivens followed by the singing of Christmas songs by all present, Meeting was closed with the Mizpah Benediction. An exchange of Christmas gifts took place. a bounteous smorgasbord luncheon was served to .end a very busy and enjoyable afternoon. The next meeting will be held in the town hall on Jan. 6, 1972, called, "wolves in sheep's clothing." God will not do anything to prevent us from following those in hatred's army (that's what the parable of the whert and tares is all about). He will always compel his children to say "Yes" or "no" to Him. He will simply leave it up to us to know the Lord of Love and to be able to know our own minds well enough to "test the spirit" (I John 4:1) and refuse to desert our vows of loyalty to His Kingdom. St. John records (John 15) that God prunes even the branches that bear fruit. Jesus said to preach the Word, and if people refuse it, "shake the dust off your feet and take back your peace" (Matt, 10:13.14), There is a difference between criticizing incompetence and criticizing for fear Of having to change. That's the difference between discipline and treason. ,5ERVICES ONTARIO STREET "THE FRIENDLY REV, LAWRENCE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9:45 a.m. — Sunday , CONFIRMATION 11:00 a.m. — Morning Theme: "THE ROAD TO — A Warm Welcome Wesley-Willi; -- Holmesville REV.
