Mrs. Emile Neile who was visiting with Mrs. Elmer Hendrie left Monday for the west. Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Milson, London entertained Mr, & Mrs. Gerald Milson and Debbie, Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Milson in honour of Clarence' birthday. Several other guests were in attendance, Mrs. Gerald Milson, Debbie and Mrs. Clarence Milson attended a trousseau tea for Joan Beckett, bride-elect, in London. Mrs, Chester Boyle, Moose Jaw, spent a few days with Mrs. Emily Tomes in the village. Mr. Ken Carter is still a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital.

Mr. Worthington has spent a great deal of time in this war torn country and contends that to have a truthful understanding of the situation one must spend at least two months in both Biafra and Nigeria. It is a confusing, frustrating affair with much political propaganda involved. He went on to say that most church-aid groups tend to favor Biafra .. , partly because the government controls very closely those who get into that territory and only those who are sympathetic are allowed to enter. It is Biafra's dream to become independent and while Worthington disagrees with this ideal he pointed out we must respect their rights and ideas, He believes the Biafran leader, Odumegwu Ojukwu, is more sinner than saint. He is a man who exudes compassion by his talk but Worthington cannot understand how he can have this compassion and still allow the war to continue causing so much suffering and death amongst his own tribesmen, He feels Ojukwu is feeding his own ambitions at the expense of the Biafran people. Worthington was very critical of the Canadian government, "Our government is deceitful, dishonest and shows moral cowardice in dealing with the Biafra-Nigeria situation, Its decisions are made for expediency rather than for principles." "If a thing is right, surely to God it is right," he told his audience. A panel, moderated by Rev, Don McDonald, North Street United Church, Goderich, consisted of Brigadier Morgan Smith, Bayfield, Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron, John Cochrane, Director of Education, and Dr. Chas Moyo, M. D., Seaforth and a native of Rhodesia. These men asked questions of Mr. Worthington and also answered questions from the audience. The latter showed great frustration in the wrangling and lengthy discussions in which some of the members of the panel indulged. The people in attendance were there for the purpose of acquiring some constructive ideas of how to help this soul-burning situation. The fact remains, regardless Kinettes hold Xmas party The Kinette Club of Exeter held their Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Cal Wein. There was an exchange of gifts amongst the members. President Mrs. Gib Dow conducted the business. A donation of $100.00 was given to the Children's Aid Society to buy clothing for children of two families. A box of used clothing was also sent. $10.00 was sent to the National Kinsmen Golden Anniversary Project. A desk was purchased for South Huron Hospital for the pharmacy.

By MISS JEAN COPELAND Dr. Grant Mills of Calgary and Mrs. Ray Mills of St. Marys visited on Friday with Misses Blanche and Rhea Mills. Mr. & Mrs. Earl Spackman of Stratford were guests on Saturday evening with Mr. & Mrs. John Rodd, Pamela and Calvin. Mr. & Mrs. David Wheeler and Mrs. R. Corsaut of St. Marys were Saturday evening guests with Mr. & Mrs. Doug Corsaut and Jeffrey of London.

Group 2 has some chance for survival and given some food. Group 3 is the fittest and are fed as well as possible to assure that the tribe won't die out, "There is no doubt about it Church-Aid has saved the country," the speaker said. The Red Cross has sent in no planes since their plane was shot down in August. However, Can-air still sends in three planes each day with food. Robert McKinley informed the audience that the U.S.A. government has contributed $750,000.00 to Can-air relief. Mr. Worthington confirmed this and said the U.S.A. government deserves credit for its expressed concern and action in helping inter-church aid, It has not shown the callousness of the Canadian government which has not supported these relief funds, he said. Worthington also stated that the Roman Catholic Church is the most influential and active body in Biafra and feeds many people, The Holy Ghost Order of priests and nuns originate from Ireland. There is no hypocracy in their dedication to the Biafran people. He said they are much loved and needed and do a tremendous job. The Prdsbyterian Church is the next largest influence and it is just as involved but not as biased in its dedication to the Biafrans only. In a country where a chicken costs $18.00; one egg, $1.50; and a cup of salt, $8.00 it is essential, expedient and emergent that help be given. The audience demanded, "How can we help , . . spell it out to us!" Worthington's answer was to put pressure on the government by letters, petitions and resolutions demanding that the Nigerian-Biafran situation be brought before the United Nations and get behind inter-church aid programs. Worthington condemned the Canadian people for being apathetic and disinterested. "Get after your clubs and church groups and high school kids to help raise money and go after your member of parliament. You might even have to do something violent." His final words were, "Stop talking and start doing something." Record crowd at UCW meeting A record attendance marked the last general meeting for the year '69 of the UCW of Exeter, Most satisfying reports were received from the different committees. It was decided that for the year 1970 no fees would be collected but that all women of the congregation would automatically be members of the UCW. A Christma-s worship service was conducted. Five little girls, Julie McLean, Laurie Shipman, Patti Lou Shapton, Kathy Davey and Janet Shapton pleased the audience with their presentation of "The Drill of the Dolls."
