CHAIN LETTER
FAD REVIVED
Many Such Letters Received Here
Many Winghamites have Received
letters in which they are given an op
portunity to become part of the
“chain” to raise money for war pur
poses, through the purchase of war
stamps. Those participating point out
the patriotic angle of the scheme, in
which t'he person on the chain purch
ases a 25c war saving stamp and mails
it to the first name on the list which
was received. Then the letter is .cop
ied four times, in each case the first
name is left Qff and the sender’s name
added. A copy is sent to each of four
persons. Then, when the chain is
complete,, the person, who purchased a
single 25-cent stamp will have receiv
ed 256 of them in return. The only
drawback to the scheme is completing
the chain. Those who are in at the
start have a fair chance of getting a
good return on the original invest
ment, but it is a mathematical impos
sibility to expand the chain so all will
benefit 256 times.

GODERICH SUMMER
SCHOOL CLOSES
Final Service Was One of Commun
ion
Another Summer School has passed
into history, it was a splendid school,
although not so large as in previous
years, having only some 60 students
and staff memgers present. It will
be long remembered by those priyiL
eged to attend—to the fun of the
week, to its inspiration, to the influ
ence which we know will last, every
member of the camp has made a con
tribution, the staff worked in harmony
of purpose and each offering freely*
of his best. The school was under the
capable direction of the President,
Rev. C, E. Beacom, Grand Bend, Rev.
F. A. Gilbert, Walton and Clarence
McClenaghan, Whitechurch, Business •
Manager.
On the first evening of the school
we were privileged to have Miss Ruth
Simpson, of Chatham, give an illus
trated talk on her trip to the Amster
dam .Youth Conference in 1939.
Among the courses offered was Bible
Study by Dr. C. V. McLean,’ London,
Missions, Dr. H. H. Irish, Tavistock.
Several practical .courses were offered
such as, Young People’s Interests,
Helps for Sunday School Workers.
Leadership Training and Our Wild
Flowers. These were under the Lead
ership of Rev. G. W. Wylie, Oakdale,
Rev. E, A. Gilbert, Walton, Miss Eva,
Clark, Dresden, Rev. G. Weir, Sarnia.
Much of the success of the school was
due to the splendid leadership given
in Recreation and Music Appreciation,
by Ruby Rutherford, Arther and Ev
elyn Stephens, Gorrie.
One of the interesting features of
the school is the Friday evening con
cert, which is open to the public. The
programme was under the direction of.
Rev- G. Weir, acting as chairman.
Many interesting skits were ‘given by;
the various groups, these being inter
spersed by musical numbe rs. The>
reading of tile camp paper, The TorelL
and Scorch, is always an high-light**
of the evening, it was given by the
editor and associate editor, Pauline
Johnston, and Kaye Slemmon.
On Saturday evening a very impres
sive dedication service was conducted*
taking the form of a torch lighting
service. At this time students who
have completed the desired work re
ceive their credits, this year all stud
ents who attended camp secured a
certificate.
Sunday, the closing day of camp,
began with the observing of the Com
munion of the Lord’s Supper, this was
under the direction of the President
and the Dean of the school. The
morning Worship Service was in
charge of the Christian Fellowship
Convener of London Conference Y.
P. Union, Miss Eva Clark, Dresden,
being assisted by other campers. The
closing address of the school was giv
en by Rev. C. E. Beacom, using as
his theme “What Do You Here?”
So as another Goderich Summer
School concludes, students and leaders
parts and go their several ways, to
our tasks bearing treasures of truth*
visions and friendships which will long
endure.
