The bodice featured a high soft neckline and there was long full-length sleeves with wide cuffs. A matching vest of similar fabric had a hood trimmed with white maribou and she carried a classical bouquet of golden har- vest yellow roses with white poms and a touch of deep pink carnations, The maid of honor was Miss Pat Kuntz of R.R. 4, Hanover, sister of the groom and the bridesmaid was Miss Brenda Middel of Tilsonburg, a niece of the bride. They were gowned alike in floor-length dresses .of mint green velvet accented by deep green velvet trim around three-quarter length hell sleeves and around the empire waists.

Girls. The theme "Growth," was the devotional period topic. A hymn was sung followed by a scripture reading by Rita Crit- tenden. Jackie Archibald gave • a reading on "A Tall Tree and a Little Spruce." The devotional period was closed with a prayer given by Vera Gibbings. Betty Stanley introduced Mrs. F. Fingland as the guest speaker. Mrs. Fingland had arranged a ,lovely display of her dolls she had collected in her travels over the years, The members found her talk of each doll and its costume ,most in- teresting. Marlene Forbes thanked Mrs. Fingland. A lively sing-song was con- ducted by Marlene Forbes. These were the songs she and June Johns learned at Alma College last August. Reports were given in a most successful Bazaar held Novem- ber 23. Members were asked to assemble at the Church Novem- ber 26 to learn how to operate the new projector. This projec- tor was donated by the Mbr- ning Unit for the church. Shut- in boxes are to be packed again; Next meeting will be December 9 instead of the 23rd. The meeting closed with the Mizpah Benediction being repeated followed by a social hour with donuts and tea being served. The Clinton Christian Reform Choir of 40 voices led by Mr. De loan provided special musical numbers for the Sunday evening song service, The music had been prepared for the 25th anniversary of the church. Ralph Schuurman has been appointed to lead the song service for the corning year. Marie Flynn, Lorne Lawson, Norman Speir and Jerry Collins provided the old time music fel. Monday afternoon's program. Assisting with the ac- tivities were volunteers from In the hope that Canadians can enjoy the Christmas holid6, season without ac- cident or mishap, the Canada Safety Council draws attention to the twelve safety tips for Christmas trees; • Buy a fresh tree, with springy branches and tight green needles; • Keep it outdoors in water or snow until ready to set up; • Saw off at least two inches of the trunk, diagonally; • Use a water-reservoir tree holder, and keep it filled; • Keep the tree away from drying and heat sources such as radiators, registers, and fireplaces; • Use only UL or Canadian Standards Assn. approved lights in good repair; • Use only fire-proof decorations if possible; • Do not place electrical toys under tree, except wrapped or in boxes; • Secure top of tree with wire or fine string if they are very young 'children or pets in the home, to avoid tipping; • Consider using an artificial flame proof tree; Fatalistic pronouncements are in the air, says Dr. Kenneth G. McMillan, General Secretary of the Canadian Bible Society. Statesmen, news analysts, and scientists have donned the garb of prophets of ,doomsday. Their predictions ' were underlined when scien- tists this year turned back the hands of the "doomsday clock" indicating their conviction that mankind dallied on the brink of global holocaust. A popular book is entitled "The Coming Dark Age". More frightening than the predictions is the apparent sense of helplessness and inevitability that is in the air. The consensus seems to be that nothing can be done to avert planetary disaster. That fatalism might be justified if men were robots or mechanistic beings incapable of change, In that case, nothing could make a difference. But are we prepared to sit on our hands and accept the inevitability' of imminent extin- ction? Mankind has faced crises before and has seen deliverance. That deliverance has usually come as the con- sequence of a spiritual movement that has either touched multitudes of people or has touched key leaders. Central to many of those life- changing and history-making movements has been the Bible, It has proven to be the Book that makes a difference. Sun- day, Dec. 8, this year is Bible Sunday. The historian W. E. H. Lecky and others have contended that the Evangelical Revival of the eighteenth century saved England from a bloody rerun of the French Revolution across the channel. John Wesley, one of the leaders of the revival, described himself as "a man of the Christian Reform. Church Land Mrs, Finney, Earl and Martha Heywood of Wingham visited the Home on Family Night and „entertained the residents with an hour of music. The Heywoods sang a number of songs that had rbeen favorites of the residents over the past years of radio and television, Earl performed several, magic tricks which kept the audience guessing. Mrs. Buchanan thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. • Remove the tree to the outdoors as soon as possible; • Never burn a Christmas tree in the fireplace. The idea of making the Christmas tree flame retardant appeals to all of us, and each year various organizations publicize do-it-yourself treat- ments, Usually, the solution suggested is the borax/boric acid compound. According to the National Fire Protection Association, this treatment is satisfactory when used for the temporary fire retarding of cellulosic fabrics such as cotton and rayon but it is of little value when used on Christmas trees. The needles of a tree do not soak up the chemical as a fabric does, nor can they be readily coated on all sides. The only sure mothod of flame retarding natural trees is to completely immerse them in an Underwriter's Laboratories listed tree fire-retardant, and no private individual would be expected to go to such trouble and expense. The Council therefore suggests the above safety tips should be clipped out and used when needed. one Book", and he spread the teachings of the Bible throughout Britain. The Book made a difference. On a smaller scale, a nineteenth century Canadian Presbyterian missionary wit- nessed a similar spiritual tran- sformation. John Geddie went to thei South Seas to share the Good News of God with the people of the islands. He tran- slated portions of the Bible into native languages and' devoted himself to spreading its message. At his death, the islanders reared a monument to him and simply, but eloquen- tly, described the change that had come to their homes: When he landed in 1848 There were no Christians here, And when he left in 1872 There were no heathen, The Book made a difference, Chairman Mao's little Red Book has demonstrated in our own time the power of a book, The Bible, the Book of peace that speaks the message of God to our troubled times, is needed as never before, around' the world. As people accept its message, society is changed for the better. As decision-makers are touched by its message, the direction of human history is changed. It's a Book that makes a dif- ference. The Canadian Bible Society and 55 other national Bible Societies team up around the world in a global crusade to make the Bible available to people of every nation, color and creed. They need millions of dollars to translate, publish and distribute the Scriptures. Sunday, December 8, is Bible Sunday. Canadians of all chur- ches will be observing this day which spotlights the global crusade to change human history through the Book that , makes a difference.

Interment followed in Baird's Cemetery. by David Woods Millions of vitamin tablets are swallowed every day in the belief that they'll produce pep and vitality -- and provide the nutrients missing from a normal diet. But, say nutritionists, while this belief may make a bundle for the manufacturers of vitamin pills, it sure hasn't dont much to enrich the health status of the people Who use them. There are some 43 known nu- trients in, the food we eat, and all vitamin tablets grouped together contain only eight or nine of these at the most. Marilyn Winarski, senior con- sultant in nutrition to the Ministry of Health asks, "Why swallow tasteless tablets when you can get vitamin A from carrots; B from bread; C from orange juice; D from milk; and E from corn oil; and still enoy the pleasures of eating flavor, texture and aroma?" Miss Winarski points out that we in Canada don't get nutrient de- ficiency diseases such as scurvy; but we do suffer from diet-and- 'lifestyle-related problems such as diabetes, obesity, dental caries and cardiovascular disease and vita- min pills don't have any influence on these diseases anyway. Furthermore, she says, the belief that a diet of junk foods phis a variety of vitamin pills will some- how add up to good nutrition is dangerous. For one thing the pamphlets or fancy Oft en- velopes, Furthermore, when you .re-cycle an old envelope, you help somebody else help you do something about world hunger may be your Aunt Hilda or the oil company", Dr, Howard wrote. "Be careful. about telling your kids about this oppor- tunity to relieve hunger in our world because they'll likely want yon to send to Bangladesh most Of the money you were going to spend on' their Christmas gifts", the moderator's letter concludes, All monies received for this appeal will be sent directly to the National Council of Chur. ehes in Bangladesh. Rev. A.C. Forrest, Editor of The United Church Observer, is leaving this week on a fact- finding trip to India and Bangladesh on behalf of a group of United States church publications and The Observer. Dr, Forrest will be consulting with officials of Church World Service, Lutheran World Relief and Asian church agencies receiving funds from the World Council of Churches. Mrs. John K. Cornish, 86, of Brucefield, died in Stratford General Hospital on November 22, 1974. A life-long resident of Brucefield, she was the former Jennie Hill, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Hill of Brucefield; She was married to John Cornish in 1919.

(Anna) Brock, of Hensel', and a son, J., Carlyle Cornish of Queensville. The body was at the R.S. Box Funeral Home, Seaforth, where the funeral service was held on November 25, 1974, with Rev. E.D.

Watch that Christmas trees don't catch fire The book that makes a difference The Moderator of The United Church of Canada has appealed to members of congregations across the coun- try to "spend a little less on Christmas presents for our, selves SO that we may share more of Christ's presence 'with others,': In particnlar, the Right Reverend Wilbur K, Howard, in his first Christmas message to United Church people since becoming moderator, asks for donations to "put food in the mouths of hungry and starving human beings in Bangladesh". Displaying his well-known sense of humour, Dr, Howard says in a letter to ministers of United Church congregations; "We ask you in our churches to take an old, used, beat-up en- velope and re-cycle it by marking on it Hunger'. , .put in this envelope your gift to help alleviate hunger pangs and save lives in Bangladesh. When this has been , done, close the envelope with a bit of Scotch tape and place it on the offering plate next time you're in church." "There'll be no more spent on advertising posters, slick TODAY'S HEALTH Food has more vitamins than pills, say experts don't contain protein — essential to any balanced diet and many of them offer no iron. Even if they did contain iron, says Miss Winar- ski, it would take a number of days to incorporate 'it into the blood stream. Even so, nutritionists aren't so much against vitamin pills as they are for the idea of getting vitamins from natural food sources contain- ing nutrients in a natural balance. And they believe that if people are going to turn to pills, it should be on the advice of a physician, rather than on whim or at the mercy of food faddists. Nutritionists also stress that vita- min supplements should not be dressed up like candies and over advertised. They're medicines, and should be treated as such. Too many of some vitamins, they warn, can build up to dangerous levels in the body. Today's major diet problems are too much fat and sugar —just plain too many calories, generally, without the essential nutrients; and not enough of the roughage or fibre found in bread, vegetables, and cereals, And vitamin pills solve neither of these problems. There are those who predict that, eventually, we'll abandon res1 food, and get alt our dietary needs from tine little bottle of pills. Until that dreadful day when the chef becomes as extinct as the Zeppelin captain, vve can Stilt get all the vitamins we heed—with a knife and fork.
