This repre­ sents the amount needed to be found by the Bible Societies to ciovex’ the cost of the work in non-self-supporting areas of the world. Deficit is a necessary ’ con- corniitant of the Bible Societies’ policies: almost all editions are subsidized; the Bible Societies sponsor or are related to cur­ rent Scripture translation or revision work in 750 languages ($700,000); Scripture distribu­ tion facilities are maintained in 120 countries. The Executive Committee re­ ported vVith regret that a num­ ber of projects for 1967, costing in all $230,000, had had to be Omitted from the budget. The U.B.S. Secretary, Dr. Olivier Seguin, commented: “It is most disturbing that work Should have to be curtailed at the present time when Wide­ spread opportunities are< offer­ ed for Bible Work throughout the world. “The Bible Societies are ed With opportunities spreading the Word of Which they cannot meet lack of funds. This is a story,” added Dr. Beguln.

Ship’s masters heeded wiarxiings and put into pprt .or took shelter in suqh places as the lea of Kettle Point,. There were over 20 in the St. Marys River alone. Thus a reoccurance of the terrible disaster’of November 9, 1913 was averted. • A In that year, heavy gale warnings were posted on Friday morning. The storm commenced on Lake Superior on Satur­ day, but was at its height on Lake Huron on Sunday evening, November 9. For 16 hours, winds 60-miles-an-hour and over switched first one. way and then another, sometimes meeting the 3’5 foot waves created when it had’been in another direc­ tion. Many ships were caught on open water, Those not for­ tunate enough to make port included two on Lake Superior an,d eight on Lake Huron which went to the bottom, with a total ■loss of life of 235 and net one survivor to tell the tale! Those Ships on Lake Huron were the “Charles S. Price”, “Isaac M- Scott”, “James iCarruthers”, “Wexford", ^Regina”, ‘‘John A. McGean”, "Argus”, “Hydrus”. The “Wexford” and “Leaside” (which t Was lost in Lake Superior) were typical British tramp ships which had weathered gales on salt water to most ports in the world before coming to the Great Lakes service. At one time there were thought to have been five ships outside (Goderich harbour unable to get in owing to 25 foot waves. Distress signals were seen but no help could 'be given. Two ships were thought to have gone down off Bayfield. The storm continued into Tuesday with a heavy snow­ fall, Telephone lines were down and many roads blocked by deep drifts making communications difficult. More than 60 bodies were- found oh Lake Huron’s beach. Not all were identified. In Maitland Cemetery, Goderich, a dark red polished obelisk with an anchor carved on top marks the graves of five unknown sailors whose lives were lost in the Great Lakes Disaster, November 9, 1913. ' T. C. Bailey informed Lucy that the first four bodies brought to Bayfield were found near Drysdale. Then two more were found from two to four miles south of the village. They were brought to Erwin's undertaking rooms and there •were six bodies [there at one time before being removed to Goderich. Lucy's father was coroner. Erwin’s had a furniture shop and a shed attached where the bodies rested (now Bay- field Public Library). Several other bodies were found.in the days to come. One below the present “Marsfield” was thought to be Charlie (“Fagey”) Ferguson. Members of the family were asked to identify him. Alex (“Pierre”) took one look and turned away with tears in his eyes; “It’s him, alright.” But Miss Norah Ferguson wasn’t so sure. She asked to see the man’s back. Then she knew it wasn’t her brother for despite the re­ semblance land the same gold tooth, there was no small birth mark on this man’s back. Captain Jack Ferguson had let them know that he was safe but it was .a few days before Charlie communicated with the family. He had had a difficult 'time.- The ship on which lie was mate had reached port with great difficulty and then been torn away from her mooring twice by the gale, Lucy remembers the storm well. She and her sister Jean 'attended Trinity .Church Sunday School in the afternoon. After Sunday School they went, as usual, to the home or her father’s cousin, Mrs. G. H. Hewson (Mrs. J. E. Howard’s residence). She took the Toronto Daily Star and saved the Burgess Bed­ time Stories every day 'and read them to the girls each Sunday. Going home about five o’clock, Lucy and Jean had to stop frequently and turn their backs to the driving wind and snow to get their ibreath. But storm or no storm, they walked to church at night with their parents! And they got home safely. Mr. 'and Mrs. Edwards and Floy got lost land didn’t know where they were until they were blown against Capt. J. Ferguson’s fence (now Brigadier F, A. Clift’s). From that corner they literally felt their way .home. It must be remembered that in those days the road from Main St.. Eaist to Main St. West ran right straight through Clan Gregor Square, and a branch in the middle joined Louisa Street. A horse and buggy trail cut through the square from St. Andrew’s United Church to Louisa Street, and this is the road the Woods and Edwards and probably other families took that night in the pitch blackness and howling winds. The weather did not keep people home from worship in those days. , (Soon after this, a large Coleman gas light was erected at i Louisa Street and Clan Gregor Square but it didn’t do service 'too long.) Carl recalls that he and his sisters visited the Robert Cald­ well family on the Lakeshore Road midway between Bayfield and Goderich. They started home at seven o’clock with horse and buggy via Porter’s Hill. Several times Carl got out in narrow spots near Porter’s Hill to lead the horse, and at other points to tramp a path for the ibuggy wheels to avoid breaking the whiffletree. It took them four and a half hours to reach their home on the fifth concession, Stanley Township — a distance of 13 miles. The horse, a colt, was almost played out. Carl and his sister also suffered from the wind and snow in the top buggy — the wind tore the lining out of the top and ripped it to shreds. And in Seaforth, Mrs. Hewson’s niece Anna Woods (Mrs. J. E. Howard) went to church that night with her mother and sisters, Rebecca and Isabel. They had only two blocks to walk to St. James Anglican Church from their home on Goderich Street. Mrs. Howard recalls' the intensity of the storm and being afraid that the high tower on the Presbyterian Church woud blow over on them as they passed. Later in the month there was fine warm weather. Lucy recalls walking on the beach .and seeing strange dead purple things which she was told were a form of lizard. Her father’s cousin, William H. Woods, enjoyed a swim in the lake towards the end of the month. Ijucy hopes that the thunder and lightning last week is a sign of a nice warm “Indian Summer” yet to come.

Lat­ er in the evening, the sisters were joined by another sister, Mrs. Gail Glanville, - who is a clerk at the HCMS office in another step dance number. The guest speaker was Ed­ ward Schofield, provincial sec­ retary of tlie Co-operative Med­ ical Services Federation of On­ tario. He is a University of Toronto graduate in business administration and has always been in the insurance business. Mr. Schofield said that med­ ical co-ops ’ have increased since being “kicked out” of the hospital field. He said they .have increased nearly 25 per­ cent in the past 12 months. He remarked on the new cov­ erage put into effect last year on chiropractic care; there is some success in developing dental programs, he said. There are 31 medical co-ops in Ontario and all are increas­ ing their volume of. business, the provincial secretary said. He also said some offices are converting to business account­ ing machines. • Mr. Schofield said some thought had been given to co­ op drug stores. He1 said, "the average mark-up of drugs in Ontario is 40 percent; discount houses work on 15 percent." He went on to say that co-ops could operate at less than 40 percent. — or part of the 40 percent mark-up could be re­ turned to shareholders, ,• The speaker was introduced by Vice-President Ken Johns and thanked by Director Gor­ don Richardson. Winners of six draws for first aid kits were: Elliott Layton, Ted Orioh, J. J. Elliott, Mrs. Wallace Ross, Mrs. Stanley Johnston, Bob Dalton. Former Huron Ag. Rep. J.

He expressed concern over the indecisive attitude of many Canadian people and suggested that an evolution rather than a revolution was needed. “Let’s keep Canada one na­ tion and also have one united farm • organization to repre­ sent us,” he said, “bather than two divided organizations.” Mr. Shearer told of a recent trip to the Western Provinces and noted how progressive and impressive things looked there, as compared to former years. He stressed the importance of Canadian export markets and the tourist trade. He concluded by urging everyone to pay at­ tention to anything that will help Canada grow stronger. -----------o----------- Clinton Personal Mr. and Mrs. Tom.
