This group's "game" is simi- lar to the one used after last year's plowing match, They tell residents their name Was drawn at the Western Fair and they will be the recipients of merchandise the con men claim is worth $1,000, Cpl. Mitchell said he contacted Western Fair officials and learn- ed that the firm did not have a booth at the fair, and this is just the start of the long line of lies they use to swindle ensue- petting victims. Most people fail to answer the skill-testing questions provided to win the merchandise* but the con men then give them a second chance. For a sum of about $350 they give them a book of tickets on which they are to write the names of friends or newlyweds and forward them to the company. For each of the 20 tickets in the book which are sent in, the company say they will return $20. However, most people find it difficult to get the 20 names and so don't get their money back, By this time they also find that the merchandise they have received is unwanted and of ques- tionable value, and they seek police assistance to get their money back. However, police have found it difficult to charge the operators with fraud, because the merch- andise has been delivered, al- though it is often of little value, and certainly not worth the $1,- 000 mentioned or even the $350 which has actually been paid for it. Cpl. Mitchell termed them "unscrupulous salesmen". However, they succeed through fast-talking and plying upon the human weakness of getting some- thing for nothing. But readers should be remind- ed that getting something for nothing is impossible these days, and in fact they end up paying over $350 for merchandise that they don't want and is worth much less than what they paid, If you are approached by these have served as Huron's repre- sentative to the Ontario Older Boys' Parliament. In addition to teaching the class, Mrs. Fletcher arranged an annual visit to the protestant Orphans' Home in London when the young people presented gifts to the children there. class mem- bers also visited churches of many faiths. Present teacher of the class is George Vriese. JAMES STREET UNITED CHURCH R.v. S, E. Lewis, B.D. Minister Mr, Robert Cameron Oroanist and Choirmaster 10 a.m.—SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Man Or by writings BAHA'IS OF FOREST MRS. K. HOYLE, SEC. BOX 421 FOREST, ONT. We begin to write Christmas exams in two weeks time. They commence Dec. 1 and finishDec. 8. At this time I would like to offer some hints (helpful, I hope) on studying. 1. Make sure you keep your notes up in all subjects. I know this is often difficult, but in the end it will make studying easier. 2. Start studying a MINIMUM of two weeks before the exams, If you leave your studying until the last minute, you will be cram- ming and when it comes time to write the exam, you may forget what you have studied. 3. Study sitting at a desk or table. Don't sprawl out on the floor or hang over your bed, as Your powers of concentration will leave you. 4. Really concentrate on what you are studying. Don't let your mind wander off. 5, Study the difficult subjects first. 6. Take a break when you find your mind is continuously wand- ering. Take a walk around the block, or have something to eat, but DON'T turn on the record player, radio, or television. 7. Study away from all centres of activity in the house. 8. Always have apencil in your hand when you are studying, as FOR HER FOR HIM WATCHES RINGS EMBLEM'-STONE LIGHTERS WALLETS DESK SETS ELECTRIC SHAVERS BAR ACCESSORIES CUFF LINKS TIE TACKS TRAVEL CLOCKS RINGS DIAMOND,COCKTAIL & BIRTHSTONE NECKLETS BRACELETS EARRINGS PEARLS WATCHES BOUDOIR CLOCKS DRESSER SETS EVENING BAGS SILVER OR STAINLESS $50.00 WATCH FREE ASK FOR YOUR LUCKY NUMBER WITH EVERY PURCHASE 9eile Saneee404 PERSONALIZE YOUR GIFTS WITH ENGRAVING JACK SMITH EXETER JEWELLER 235.2944 THE 04444 .ale A boot designed to have all the appearance, all the comfort, warmth & durability of the expensive seal skins but not the price tag.

During the re- ception Pollen presented Mrs. Fletcher with an enscribed tray on behalf of the class. In his message, Rev. Lewis paid tribute to the work of Mrs. Fletcher and pointed out that classes for teenagers were most important. He termed it a tragedy that in most churches young people leave at the age of 12 and therefore their understanding of the Bible is equal to that of a 12-year- old. He said it was not difficult for "half-baked atheists" to punch holes in the knowledge of a 12-year-old and he said these atheists fare doing this left and right". The minister explained that the class had given many young people an opportunity to get a grasp of religion that was as mature as they were. In presenting the gift on behalf of the class, Bill Pollen noted that Mrs. Fletcher 'has done a good deal for us" and had given of her time, energy, home and herself. "This gift is a reminder of the influence you have had on us," he stated. The class started in October, 1952, with six members present and since that time over 250 young people have been mem- bers. Today, those young people are living in over 42 centres in On- tario, in five of the 10 provinces, and on four of the five continents of the world. Presidents of the class through the years have been Jim Sturgis, Don Welsh, Jane Farrow, Don Taylor, Bill Batten, Bob Down, Sandra Walper, Judy Mason, Don Cann, Roger Cann, Susan Dinney, Peter McFalls and Darlene Snell. Nine members of the class The Learners of God Sunday School class staged a reunion at James Street United Church, Sunday, and honored the former teacher of the class, Mrs. M. C. Fletcher, Mrs. Fletcher taught the class for 15 years and over 150 per- sons attended a reception in the church following the morning service. They were former and present members of the young peoples' class along with their husbands and wives. The Rev. S. E, Lewis con- ducted the morning service, which took the form of a Sunday School class, Special music was provided by former members of the class. Brenda Dinney, Susan Dinney and Kathy Smith sang a trio and a quartet of John God- bolt, Bruce Cudmore, Bob Flet- cher and Bill Batten sang a number written by the latter.
