Mrs. H, Snelgrove, president, opened the meeting. The roll call was answered "What the younger generation has taught us." Handierafted articles brought in were on display. Mrs. Don O'Neil gave a sum- mary of 4-H, the spring project, "Clothes for leisure" will begin Saturday. Mrs, T. Emery Sr. convener of education and cultural activities gave an interesting talk on development of education in Canada in the 17th and 18th century. Several quotes brought smiles to the audience. Church news A large congregation heard the minister continue the series of sermons on the question, "Why?" "Why Did Jesus Have to Die?" Mr. Tupling pointed out the irony in the death of Jesus as a Messianic pretender, although he was not claiming to be Messiah in any sense that would bemeaning- ful to Pilate. The question arises; Why is it the ,great and good leaders who die 'violently? But Jesus was not Aut,,,a,,,goat leader of men: he was the.on of God, and the hope of the world for salvation. Then why was he allowed to die so young? The Bible tells us that it was "according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God". God planned that his Son should die, in order to demonstrate the awfulness of sin and the redeeming power of love. And Jesus was aware of the part that he must play. Of course, that awareness didn't make it any easier, as his experience in the gaeden indicates. But without the crucifixion there would have been no resurrection, and it is on the Resurrection that we pin our hopes.

By Sid Daley Branch 540's second mixed bowling party is now past history and I must say a very, fine time was had by a very fine turn out of sports— yes I say sports because we were not all bowlers but we joined in on the fun and games and had a real enjoyable time. Following the bowling the best was yet to come with another fabulous pot luck dinner and for the second time in a month I found that my eyes were larger than my tummy but by golly that food sure looked and tasted good. Our good friend of Legion Tom Noyes was on hand to supply the entertainment. So you see folks all in all we had a real fine afternoon. Now here is some more good news — by popular demand a third mixed bowling party will be held on Sunday, March 25. Keep this date in mind I'm sure you and your lady will have a happy time.
