hostess for the annual meeting
•of the Women's Auxiliary of St,
James’ Anglican Church, Mid

December 7.
President Mre, Donald Mid

Mrs. David
■charge of the
vice as fo-ixnd.
■Message”. Mrs. James Storey
gave "The Prayer Partners’
Prayer”.
Mrs. John Grigg presented
"the secretary's report and the
roll-call, a favorite carol, and
its origin, was. answered by
the twelve members: present.
The favonjte was the old Ger
man Carol “Silent Night, Hojy
Night”,
A letter of thanks was sent
to Mrs. Clifford. Epps for assist
ing in the Centennial planting
at the church and' also for don
ating two of her chdice peonies.
A letter of thanks was read
from Mrs. Arnold Miller ■ from
the Clinton Hospital.
A Christmas card signed by
all present was sent to Mrs.
Miller.
The president expressed her
appreciation for the wonderful
SUGAR AND SPICE
(Continued from Page Four)
the theatre.
The next week, she’s been
talking to someone who has
just spent a year there and
was half-frozen for 12
months. Or she says flatly,
“If you th'ink I'm going to
leave my comfortable home,
treasured piano students1, and
•all my f riends, to go and live
in some cold, clammy dump
. among a lot of strangers, etc,
etc.”
Sometimes, she wavers, and
asks me what England is
really like. The trouble^ is, I
haven't been there for over
20 years. About all I can do
dis describe some • first-rate
pubs, and tell her how easy
it was to, lose your girl in the
fog or blackout, unless you
clung to her. Somehow, these
descriptive gems don’t fan
her ardor for the trip.
As I said, no one in his
right mind wants to spend a
year in the U.K. I know I'll
come home either riddled
with rheumatism, or in • a
wooden box with, a sheen of
fog on it.
And it isn’t sentiment. Ad
mittedly, there are a few old1
puibs I’d like to re-visit. But
they’ve probably changed in
to raucous road-houses that
‘ serve -martinis instead, of half -
and half, and the waitresses
•are insolent pups instead1 of
buxom barmaids who called
you “Luv”, or “Ducks.”
And there are a few old
girlfriends I’d like to revisit.
But a friend of mine did this
last year, taking his wife
along. Somehow, he said,
there Was a lack of rapport.
And they were all so old.
And, even worse, they
thought he was old.
And I sure as heck don’t
want to go and stand on
some deserted, dilapidated
air-drome and think of the
old days. Old runways; are for
support she had received, from
all the. members' during the
year and hex* personal special
thanks to those former mem
bers and other friends Who as
sisted in various WA projects,
quilting etc.
Mrs. Storey, the church or
ganist, showed several samples,
of choir regalia, The WA voted
$20 to assist in purchase Of
choir gowns.
The annual reports of the
various offices were presented:
Mrs. Keith Miller, the financial
statement; Mrs. John Smith
for Supply (Dorcas); Mrs. Ray
Wise, card convener; Mrs; Mc
Cullough, birthday box.
Mrs, Edward Wise is in
charge pf Christmas cards and
Mrs, Stewart .Middleton re
ported $135 for the "In place
of a Baking Sale Fund”.
The following monies were
voted: $25 to the Sunday
School; Honorariums to the or-
gariist, Mrs. Storey, to Mrs,
Edward Wise assistant organist
and also to the fireman, Fred
Middleton; $250 'was voted to
the church wardens, with $130
ear-m!arked for roof repairs and
the rest for budget.
Mrs. Don Middleton, also
the birds, who make much •
better landings on them than
I ever did.
No, what sparks my desire
to go away for a year is
none of - these. It is the
thought of spending the
whole 'of Centennial Year in
Canada.
Now, I love this land. But
the idea of an entire year of
having Expo rammed d'own
my throat, of watching mun-
idipalities solemnly snip the
ribbon at such sparkling Cen
tennial projects as 'the new
public lavatories, or the new
parking lot, makes me want
to throw up.
And what better place to
do that than the U.K., where
I must admit I have done".it
before, on a number of occa
sions, after an evening of
warm pints of bitters.
T Superintendent of the Sunday
School reported plans for
Christmas treats, for- oyer 4Q
children.
Mrs. Edward Wise provided
ani interesting program, includ
ing a very thought provoking
article “Let's Take a Closer
Look at Santa Claus, Delight
ful Fantasy or Gross Dishon
esty?” and a poem “Lots of
Love at Christmas”,
Rev. E. J, ,B. Harrison, who
has 'always beep rnoslt welcome
ait the WA meetings, voiced his
appreciation of the efforts of
the WA and of thp gupday
School officers.
