A legend of our time, she is the heroine of a best selling book "Angel at Her Shoulder" and Reader's Digest called her "Littlest Lady with the Biggest , Heart." This small woman has become the personification of pluck and perseverance against heavy odds, the undaunted heroine in many an encounter with the elements on dangerous trails, with hostile tribal chiefs among former headhunters in Formosan fastnesses, with corrupt officials, Mrs, Lyle Storey of Seaforth arranged and directed the "Family Night" HuronvieW entertainment, Tuesday evening. The program had been taped on Monday from the Big Al T.V. show at Kitchener. Marie Flynn, Nelson Howe and Harold Black provided the accompaniment for the entertainers which included step dance numbers by Becky McKinley, Brenda Pullman, Lesa Beuttenmiller, Pauline Sykes, Daline Rolf, Lorie Siemin, Sharman Adams; vocal duets Theresa and Margaret Hicknell; vocal solos by Debbie and Marie With sickness) poverty and ignorance. Here is a woman who, practically single-handed has taken on monumental tasks and, with the help of an "angel at her shoulder" has established in Taiwan an organization of nationals as dedicated as herself in bringing to the people not only the saving gospel of Christ, but His personified love for the weak, the fallen, the distressed. Moved by compassion for the multitudes around her when she was only a "Missionary-wife" she began a quarter-century ago to rescue boys out of prison, lepers from suicidal depression, mountaineers dying from tuberculosis, girls about to be sold into prostitution. A work so small, so nondescript, probably merited the name she gave it: THE MUSTARD SEED MISSION, but today it has grown far beyond thought or ex- pectation, with sixty projects working at full speed in preaching, medical work, hospitals, clinics, prison- visitation, schools and or- phanages, etc. Mrs, Dickson will be warmly welcomed by many in our area who have learned to love and admire her, and who have become partners with her by sponsoring orphans or young people in training in Taiwan and Papua. She will be bringing news of the latest outreach of her tribal missionaries who have left their homes to preach the gospel in Borneo, and of the new trade- schools she is establishing in Papua, New Guinea. Everyone is welcome to this meeting! Flynn. Mrs. Orville Dale ex- pressed the appreciation of the residents for the very enjoyable hour of music and dancing. The "Over 90" Club met Wednesday afternoon and welcomed four new members, Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Yea, Mrs. Riddell and Mrs. Weston. Guests of the club for the afternoon were Mrs. Elsie Henderson, Norman Lear and William Farnsworth, who provided some musical numbers, with piano in- strumentals by Mrs. Fremlim and mouth organ selections by Walter Kingswell. $8,940.87 through their campaign in the last year, and $4,836.23 through their 'In Memoriam' donations. The Seaforth branch collected a total of $4,029.62 through their campaign plus $1,906 from their `In Memoriam' fund. A dedicated Wingham branch raised $8,263,51 in their campaign \ and another $1,404 form their 'In Memoriam' fund. Mrs. Myrtle MacNaughton, who was convener of the Wingham branch, received a standing ovation when Mr. Archibald announced she was retiring after 15 years of volunteer work with the Wingham branch and the Wingham follow,-up clinic. As well as raising funds for the Ontario Division for research and education, the Huron Unit is involved in education and follow- up clinics. The annual report showed a number of films and literature distributed to children from kindergarten to grade three, stressing good health habits and no smoking. The Unit distributed over 2,000 pamphlets and screened at least 14 different films to many groups. The Unit also provided services to 67 patients last year, with 15 volunteer drivers clocking over 9,000 miles driving patients to clinics. -e - The guest speaker for the. annual meeting was Ron Calhoun of Thamasford, the Ontario Division campaign chairman, who told the hundred volunteers at the White Carnation at Homesville that with the year end, "the eyes of our respective cofnmunities are now upon us. They are looking for the reassurance we can corn- municate about the progress continually being made in the cancer control program." Mr. Calhoun said that the nearly 200,000 volunteers across Ontario can proudly say they are serving mankind, "Without the cancer volunteer, our national program would grind to a halt. The service of the volunteer is the backbone of our Society," he said, Because of this volunteer help, Mr. Calhoun said only five cents of every dollar is spent on ad- ministration with over 85 per cent going towards cancer research. Mr. Calhoun stressed, however, that more money must go to education to ensure the public detects cancer early, "There are thousands upon thousands of lives in Canada we could save each year - right today - if only we could get the message of the Canadian Cancer Society across to every Canadian," he said. He added that cancer has been beaten in over 50 percent of its outbreaks. "The other 50 percent is our target."
