Without a single doubt, this year’s World Series h’as been the quietest in history where “run”. Of all the baseball clubs pur household has been con cerned. I cap honestly say this is the very first year since I was • married that I have not been widowed temporarily throughout the duration of ..the series. My husband is a Yankee fan. You know the' kind of nut I mean—a guy who eats, breathes, lives and would gladly die • for Mickey Mantle and his team mates. My spouse tells me he can remember back to the time that Mickey was a rookie. Many have come and gone since then, but Mickey remains, the heart and soul of the Yankee organ ization which has been such a tower of strength in the base ball kingdom, he says. I am a-Dodger fan. I became one back when Brooklyn meant “fight” and Duke Snider meant I’ve seen since that era, none can raise my enthusiasm for the game like those Dodgers did. I remember flay Campan ella when he was ,the greatest catcher in the professipnal leagues and I recall my tears When the big loveable “Campy” was so seriously injured in an accident, I have remained true to the Dodgers through bad years, player swaps and a move to California. I guess that’s why the World Series has always been such a bone of contention each year about this time. If it wasn’t the Dodgers and the Yankees bat tling it out for the money, it was the Dodgers or the Yan kees against some .other team. In any case, there was plenty of excitement at the Keller home and enough rivalry to keep the temperature at a roll MESSAGE FROM CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER ing boil until the final decision was known. This year, the Cards and the Red Sox had at it in the world’s greatest baseball event. I watched the final game today, •and even though the series was tied three-all I couldn’t summon even one little shiver of excite- ' ment when the sudden-death contest began. By the time it ■had ended, I was almost asleep. I had chosen sides. I hoped Boston would be victorious be cause—well, because they seem ed to be coming from behind. I felt some compassion for Jim ' Lonborg, the pitcher, credited with bringing the Sox up the ladder of success this year, but I couldn’t get too sympathetic because the other half of the battery was former Yankee catcher Elston Howard, whose ability I had learned to detest long before this day. Of course, the Sox opponents had Roger Maris on the roster ■azid Maris was even more un This year, some 29.5 million people throughout the world will celebrate International Credit Union Day, proud of the growth and gratified by the progress made by this great economic self-help movement Over 4.5 million credit union members in Canada can take satisfaction in knowing that their habits of saving and thrift have had a substantial impace on the economic and social well-being 1 of their fellow citizens and have contributed to a healthy and expanding national economy. The progress of developing nations is also receiving worth while assistance from the spontaneous generosity of Canadian credit unions. Democratic and dramatic efforts in assisting the developing nations, made largely through Canada's External. Aid Office, are also of deep concern to the Government of Canada. We are happy to be co-operating with CUNA International and its various provincial leagues, through the External Aid Office, in providing special training for economic self-help and democracy to men and women from the emerging countries. On the happy occasion of International Credit Union Day, I offer my heartiest congratulations to all credit union members in Canada and abroad for another year of progress. I am sure their future will be bright with continued achievements. s CLINTON COMMUNITY i CREDIT UNION LIMITED desirable than Howard. I can bring to mind a couple of series in recent years when Maris and Mantle batted back-to-back and gave the Dodgers a whale of a lot of trouble with their home-run .threats. I was se cretly satisfied to note that Maris looks less suave and so phisticated than he had at one ■time and that his round trip pers are - further and further apart. And would you believe that I was able to leave for the hairdresser’s in the middle of the ninth inning without the '■slightest twinge of remorse? It1 really didn’t -seem .to matter who was the winner this year for whichever team was interviewed in the clubhouse, it was all stranger's (except for the two former foes with the menacing bats and the veteran skill). When the conversation at the supper table got around to base- bal, my 'boys' made brief com ments about; the fact .that St. Louis bad won as everyone sus pected they would. I felt proud .that I could recall Gibson’s home run and I was thankful I could contribute something sensible -to the discussion. But I needn’t have bothered about being informed, for the matter dropped abruptly and the topic concerned the opening of the hockey season.

Given in marriage by her brother, Hugh Hendrick, Kip. pen, the bride wore a tradi- , tional floor-length gown of white lagoda crepe with chapel train. She carried a bouquet of yellow rosebuds and step- hanotis. Maid of honor was Miss Helen Cole, cousin of the bride, Sar nia.

Dr? Maine pointed out that the present ferment in society is not an unique thing but is pne of a series which has been present in the history of man. Period, ically, there have been periods of ‘break-throughs’ which dis rupted established thinking and this is such a period. Referring specifically to the function of phurch membership, Dr , Maine pointed out that, while a. few years ago, church mem- bership was primarily concpr. ned with personal ethics, the present trend emphasizes invol vement in social problems of national anti international scope. The speaker emphasized that the outcome of this change in emphasis was still in doubt and there are, as yet, no firm grounds for optimism as to that outcome. Special music in the morn- ipg was provided by the choirs. Mrs. George Sereda of Cen tralia sang a solo and a duet With Mrs. Keith Loyeil, At the close of the morning service, Rev. Stuart invited all those present to remain for lunch and a social period, For the evening service. Dr. Maine reverted to the more formal type of sermon stres sing the point that while it is still true that Jesus pajne to save the lost, Jesus’ interest was not so much in the sense that the sinner would be saved from eternal damnation but rat her that the lost or hidden pot ential of the individual would be ‘sparked’ into activity by the inspiration of and the commit ment to the Gospel of Jesus. An unexpected pleasure was the solo from Walter Walper of Kinnaird, B.C. accompanied by his wife on the organ. Following the evening service another opportunity for a get- together was afforded to all those present and lunch served. Ushers for the morning and evening services were, Jack Bell, Lloyd (Cooper, Leonard Lovell and Wayne McBride. The Centennial Committee were most gratified at the ter rific response to the invitat ions sent out for this irpprotant event and feel that much of the credit for the success of the day should go to the United Church Women whose planning and provision of the lunch after both services permitted so many to enjoy a longer fellow ship with friends and relatives. They appreciated the help given by those doing the decorating and setting up the amplification system.
