Councils want
Hwy. 4 repaved
Bly th council lastweekjoined
councils in East Wawanosh, Mor
ris and Wingham in asking that the
Ministry of Transport and Com
munications rebuild Highway 4
between Blyth and Wingham.
Reeve Albert Wasson, in speak
ing about the motion which was
received from East Wawanosh
township where it had been
passed, suggested the council
should emphasize the word recon
struct in its motion. The last time
the MTC had been asked to do
something about the road, he said,
it had rushed out and slapped some
more asphalt on the road instead of
doing a proper job of reconstruc
tion as has been carried out
between Blyth and Clinton.
Reeve Wasson said there should
be no more ‘ ‘patches or bandaids”
on the road. “It’s terrible the
amount of money they’ve wasted
on that road,” he said.
In passing the motion, council
also agreed to send a copy to
Murray Elston, M.P.P. for Huron-
Bruce.

Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Taylor and
other Robinson relatives in the loss
of her brother Ross Robinson of
Auburn.
Since the third Sunday of each
month is set apart as “Children’s
Sunday’’, November 16marked
this occasion at Knox United
Church.
The sacrament of baptism was
also celebrated at the service,
which was conducted by Rev. John
G. Roberts.
Mrs. George Procter, organist,
accompanied the children’s choir
as it sang, “Lead Me Jesus’’ then
they occupied the central front
pews to receive the message which
was on the theme “Baptism.”
Scripture reading included Act
22: 16 “And now, why wait any
longer? Get up and be baptized and
have your sins washed away by
praying to God.”
The minister asked “What does
baptism mean? ’ ’ This he explained
by referring to his own life
situation. On his arrival in Canada
from Wales he was not a Canadian
citizen, but British. He worked
here; but was not a visitor. On
arrival in Canada the minister was
given a document which stated he
was “A landed immigrant.’’ He
might become a Canadian citizen
inthefutureifheso desired and
was approved by Canada.
Baptism is similar to becoming a
citizen of a country. First the child
is “landed’’ in the status of the
church at baptism. Later, at
confirmation he becomes a mem
ber of the church, if approved.
“Why use water?” Mr. Roberts
queried “What does water signi
fy? It signifies washing. We need
to be cleansed by sin, through
Jesus Christ.”
Members must share the
church’s task as stewards, he said.
Parents promise at baptism to
encourage their child to seek
confirmation which implies ste
wardship.
The order of baptism as present

own toppings.
For the club activity they visited
the Sun Rise Dairy in Wingham.
On the tour they learned about the
