The president-elect paid tribute to
the retiring president, MrS, W. W.
Gurney, for the efficient manner in
which she has presided for the past
two years, since the formation of the
Ladies' Curling Club.
Duplicating the feat of last season,
the Stainton Spitfires eliminated tile
Durham Redmen in the finals to cap
the Intermediate "A" W. 0. A, A,
Championship. With two games in
the bag the overconfident Durham
team fell apart in the last four garrin
to give the Spitfires the coveted sil-
verware.
Saturday night the Spitfires proved
their worth as they trounced the
visitors 13-4, giving them their worst
trimming of the series, The series
ended practically the same as last
season from a goal point calculation,
with the exception the locals in 1250
won four straight,
Wingham took an early lead Satur-
day night as Westlake scored on a
pass from Tustin at 56 seconds.
Within a minute after Wingham
broke into the scoring column. Proc-
tor flashed the light to tie the score.
Goals by Jackson and Crewson ended
the period 3-1 for the Spitfires. Four
penalties were handed out in this
frame, two to each club,
A six-goal splurge in the second
period, proved to be more than the
pay-off as the Spitfires ran up a
substantial lead, Crewson opened the
scoring in this period on a two way
passing play from Lockridge and
Pym at 2,54, Two minutes later
Crewson scored his third goal of the
night unassisted. Midway through
the frame Proctor tallied his second
on a pass from. Nichol and goals by
Bain and Nichol ended the scoring
for Durham for the balance of the
game. Tustin, Wilson, English and
Westlake added to the Wingham
total before the period ended. Eight
penalties were handed out by Referee
Mote, in the session, Wilson and
Lain e gettingsilitfi r et Nsv o 07.1 tcilni
'tied their at-
tack in the final period, ramming
home another four tallies on efforts
by Norman Tustin, who flashed the
red light twice and single markers
going to Crewson and Lockkridge.
'ire penalty box keepers had a, busy
session in the' final go as Pyrn was
handed a major and Wilson ten min-
utes.
Close to 1300 fans saw the curtain
fall on the 1951 Intermediate "A"
season, It is expected Wingham will
now play the winner of "B" and "C"
Series for the grand championship.
With the winning of the "A" crown,
we say congratulations to Percy
Stainton and his Spitfires for the
honour brought to our town for the
second year in a row.

large congregation attended the
raster Thankoffering service of the
'
Woman's Missionary Society in Wing-
ham United Church on Sunday morn-
ing, The whole service was in charge
of the W.M.S. and was led by the
president, Mrs. G. N. Underwood and
Zees. Colin. Fingland. Members of the
gp Afternoon, Evening and Junior Aux-
iliaries formed the choir, Special
plumbers included a double quartette
singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus'
Name", which opened the service, and
duet, "For 'Round The World Thy
Children Sing Thy Song," by Mrs.
W. B, 1VIcCool and Mrs. Geo, Guest.
The music was in charge of Mrs. Wm.
Carrie who also presided at the organ.
The Evening Auxiliary was respon-
sible for the decorations, A white
cross was surrounded by pots of Eas-
ter lilies and across the front of the
pulpit extended the watchword of
the W.M.S„ '"The World for Christ."
Two large baskets of spring flowers
were placed as memorials, one for
hiss Caroline Welwood, who repre-
. seated this church for many years as
a missionary in China, and the other

The guest speaker, Mrs. (Rev.)
'Langley of Toronto, formerly Marion
_Auld of Westfield, who had spent sev-
eral years as a missionary in China,
'was introduced by Mrs. Fingland.
Mrs. Longley based her talk on
,Acts 4, 37; "Sharing with Others." Be-
fore we are willing to share we have
to be touched by the finger of Jesus,
thus the missionaries have served and
shared long and faithfully. Speaking ,
of Communism, she said it Is the '
greatest force that has ever risen
against the Church of Christ, After
attending the meeting of Tim Buck in
Toronto, Mrs. Longley was convinced
that when the Christian people know
and study and share their text book
.(The Bible) as well as Communists
)mow and study their text book, then
we need have no fear of Communism,
.Also when Christians are as eager to
share their Christianity as Commun-
ists are eager to share their belief,
then Christianity will prosper.
Mrs. Underwood thanked the speak-
er and at the close of the service, she

'')( At its regular meeting last Friday
night at the Queen's Hotel, the Wing-
ham Kinsmen Club heard an address
entitled "Whither Kinsmenship" by
District Deputy-Governor Dr. Fraser
Hay of Listowel.
Before Dr, Hay's talk, YPresident
Scott Reid handed out a number of
fines collected by sergeant-at-arms
Kin Charlie Crossett, and asked for a
number of committee .reports. Vice-
Pres., Ross Hamilton reported that
the next salvage drive was on April
21st and that a box-car of 40 tons'
capacity was being reserved to ship
out the salvageA
Treasurer Ken `Johnson gave a
financial statement on the recent ice
carnival which showed a net profit
of about ninety dollars.
Secretary Bob Carbert read a letter
from Past President Art Loucks,
thanking the club for making him
an honorary member.
President Scott appointed Kin Al
Williams convener of the committee
for the spring dance and Kin Ross
Vegan, chairman of the Salvation
Army Red Shield compaign.
Dr. Hay who was introduced by
Vice-Pres., Ross Hamilton, took as
his theme the need of service clubs-
and particularly Kinmen Clubs-to
justify their existence in the world of
to-day. He said that all Kinsmen
were aware of the organization's
modest beginnings in Hamilton in
1920 and its growth to a nation-wide
service club with over 9,000 members
in 250 different centres. Kinsmen
realized the history and purposes of
Kinsmenship, but were they con-
scious of where they were going?
Deputy Governor Fraser believed
that the greatest weakness in the Kin
organization was its present lack of
the co-ordinating force of a National
Project-seine such, project as the
Milk fqr Britain Fund of the last
war. He said that community pro-
ject were a "must" but just as
.necessary was a unifying purposeful,
nation-wide objective, As such an
objective he suggested the setting up
of fellowship and scholarships to be
given first on a provincial basis and
then enlarged as circumstances per-
mitted. He was going to make his
suggestions at the forthcoming zone
-conference meeting, and asked •the
"Wingham Clab to consider giving its
support to his proposals.
Dr. Hay was thanked by Past
President Bob Ferguson.
