T-A photo Presbyterians view slides The P.C.W. of Caven Presbyterian Church held their Thank Offering meeting Sunday evening in the Sunday School room of the church. Mrs. Harry Strang opened the meeting with a welcome to the members and guests. The Devotions were conducted by Mrs. Ila Moir and Mrs. Norah Taylor. The theme was Easter Worship. Mrs. Dorothy Iles in­ troduced Kevin Glasgow the guest pianist who favoured with two instrumentals — Chopin’s Waltz in C sharp minor and Meet Mr. Callaghan which were en­ joyed very much. Dr. and Mrs. D. A. Ecker presented a number of colorful slides on their work during the summer at Hazelton B.C. Hazelton was originally an Indian set­ tlement and 60 percent of the people in that area are native Indians. The hospital at Hazelton was rebuilt two years ago with a staff of five doctors who are exceptionally busy. Therefore physicans are recruited from across Canada to help relieve the regular staff. The most in­ teresting part of the work was in the Children’s Hospital where Mrs. Ecker worked. Many slides showed the intricate art of Totem Poles. We were pleased to hear that this art and many others are still being taught to the Indians. A quartet consisting of Charlotte Bailey, Muriel Dalrymple, Mary Dougall and Susan Moore ac­ companied on the piano by' Mrs. Blanche Dougall sang Somebody Bigger Than You and I and I Believe. Both selections were enjoyed greatly. Mrs. Donna Webster thanked the guest speakers Dr. and Mrs. Ecker and all the others taking part in the program. Rev. Kenneth Knight closed the meeting with prayer. A delicious lunch was served by the lunch com­ mittee Mrs. Mabel Kirk, Mrs. Ila Moir, Mrs. Mabel Stanlake and Mrs. Donna Webster. Throughout the Lenten season, it is a tradition to serve hot cross buns at meals, but they’re most appreciated on Easter morning. Although most of people buy hot cross buns, there is nothing so delectable as homemade buns hot from the oven. Yeast, cookery is not as time consuming as many people believe, the secret lies in its quick yeast batter. The following recipe makes outstanding buns involving only minimum effort. The batter is prepred in a mixing bowl and allowed to rise. It is then placed in a 9 x 13 x 2- inch pan for a second rising and final baking. Delicious at any time, hot cross buns are ideal for a weekend brunch, a mid­ morning snack or afternoon tea.When prepared in ad- vance, they can also be served hot with the week day breakfast. A cluster of fresh flowers on your table will add the finishing touch to your Easter menu. Have delicious breakfast!

The members played cards followed by a program with Mrs. Chas Snell acting as chairman. It began with an appropriate Easter poem read by Mrs. Ina Skinner followed by the singing of ESSENCE MAGIQUE Foaming Bath Oil Musk, Ginseng, Jasmin 550 ml Sugg.

Later they exchanged with Mrs. Frayne on mouth organ and Mrs. Bullock on guitar. Two young girls by the names of ' Skinner and Crawford step danced. The speaker of the evening was Rev. Forsythe of Exeter United Church, who was surprised at the size of the crowd of Seniors. He thought he would have several dozen to talk to but faced around 150 of the combined clubs. Rev. Forsythe very ably bridged the gap by saying was Browning right in regard to old age by saying “The best is yet to be” and also could see the need of a home for the aged with hospital care in .the com­ munity. ■ With Seniors facing first their ailments in a young economy, also being easily tired, financial difficulties, getting hard and lonely to live in a house alone, and of course something to put in their lonely times they need some one to call on them. Setting up some kind of signal system with their neighbors - by raising or pulling a blind when they are out and reversed when they come home or a light on and off to let neighbors know if they are O.K. is needed. But he urged senior citizens to think of their achievements during life. What have they ac­ complished, raising a family, educated them and sent them out into the world to become first class citizens. One of the best accomplishments anyone can do. Also being friends to the neighbors lending helping hands many times in sickness and health. Taking an interest in public affairs fighting by way of voting calling for the rights and receiving them in our country and neighborhoods. He also said the seniors now have the time to do things they didn’t before such as: writing novels as Churchill at the age of 59 wrote his first novel. They can write life history, paint pictures. Senior citizens must also ask questions. What are therapists doing to help you? What are your politicians doing and make them listen to you to your ideas and needs. Rev. Forsythe said “Who has had more ex­ perience than those of our nation those who have lived and fought their way through 60 to 70 years of hard times,of successes and won. Rev. Forsythe showed pictures of his native land, Ireland. 30 GOSHEN STREET, N.
