KINSMEN TO SPONSOR
BANTAM HOCKEY TEAM
The regular meeting of the Wing
ham Kinsmen Club was held in the
Queens Hotel on Friday evening with
the president, Jack Gorbutt in the
chair.
The question about the sponsorship
of the Bantam hockey team was
brought up. After a lengthy discus
sion, it was decided to again sponsor
the Bantam team this year. The cost
of operating such a team can run
high but it was felt that you can’t
put in dollars and cents the necessity
for the boys of the community to have
an outlet for proving their ability at
Canada’s national sport. These boys
may be the hockey stars of tomorrow.
The annual radio auction has peen
set for Tuesday evening, December
6th. The auction is to begin at 8.00
p.m. and continue on through till
sign-off. This is a chance for the
residents of this district to get some
or all of their Christmas gifts at a
real saving. Just name your price
and it can be yours, provided someone
does not raise the bidi
At the next meeting, Thursday,
November 10th, the Kinsmen will be
entertaining their wives and guests.

Mr. Johnson, who was the first
president of Huron Presbytery Men’s
Council in the United Church, brought
thoughts from the laymen’s confer
ence at Elgin House, which he had
attended this summer. He took as his
subject, "Going Active”, based on
John 13:17, “If ye know these things
happy are ye if ye do them,” and
that by prayer- and influence, lay
men could be a source of power in
the church.
Stirring Message
Dr. Bruce Palmer had a stirring
message for the congregation, telling
of the call which has led him to
dedicate his life to the work of the
church. Dr. Palmer leaves his practice
in Wingham and carries his valuable
experience to the hospital in Hazel
ton, B.C., where he will be a medical
missionary under the Home Mission
Board of the United Church of Can
ada. Speaking from the verse found
in I Corinth., 12-14, “For the body is
not one member but many,” he told
how closely related are religion and*
medicine; in the Old Testament days,
the priests were also physicians. If
we leave missions out of our religion,
it is a selfish religion. The Christian
Church supplies healing on our fron
tiers because where teaching and

Hospital Auxiliary
Showered with Gifts
For New Tuck Shop
The Ladies' Auxiliary to Wingham
General Hospital held a very success
ful shower and tea in the Council
Chamber on Saturday afternoon. The
object of the shower was to secure
articles to make a start on stocking
the little tuck shop which will be
found in the entrance hall of the new
wing in Wingham General Hospital.
This will be operated by the Auxiliary
and is expected to render a service to
patients, hospital staff and visitors.
As the donations were brought in,
they were displayed on a long table
in charge of Mrs. A. Peebles and Mrs.
W. VanWyck. Included in these gifts
were found toys, books and knitted
articles for infants and children, as
well as stationery, cosmetics, confec
tions, etc., for adults. Generous
gifts of money were also received.
Large baskets of chrysanthemums
lent a touch of autumn to the room.
The vice-president, Mrs. Walter Po-
cock, greeted the guests and three
former presidents, Mrs. W. J. Adams,
Mrs. W. M. Connell and Mrs. Geo. R.
Scott presided at the tea table. The
refreshments were served by the
social committee under the convener
ship of Mrs. Elwood Armitage and
Mrs. Gordon Buchanan.
Dr. Palmer said that
his decision had not been a sudden
one, he always knew that God had a
plan for his life and he now felt
that the time had come for him to
use his training to co-operate with
the work of the church on the Can
adian frontier. Hazelton is a small
town in the Skeena River in British
Columbia, 300 miles west of Prince
George and 200 miles east of Prince
Rupert, and having a population 80%
Indians.
While the congregation tarried at
the close of the service, W. H. French
addressed Dr. and Mrs. Palmer on
behalf of the session and congre
gation, thanking them 'for their work
and influence in all departments of
the church during their residence
here. He said that it was with a good
deal, of Christian pride and gratitude,
that this church felt it had some
small part in sending a representative
to the mission field, and wished them
God’s blessing in their undertakings.
Wm. Conron then-read a short address
and presented Dr. and - Mrs. Palmer
with a framed tippy of Saalman’s
Head of Christ, which will have an
honored spot in their new home.
Many people found their way to the
front of the church to say good-bye
and extend good wishes.

One of the biggest rainbow trout
ever to be caught in the area was

Using a flatfish for bait, Wally latched on to a nine pound, 26-inch trout

an 8-pound line before being landed.
The fish was a beautiful specimen of
