In Legion' Contest
Joanne Higgins', of Mitchell,
granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs,

'winner in the Canadian Legion
nubile speaking contest, held in
Galt xecently, Miss Higgins waa
awarded top honors in the Ele-
mentary "A" group, for Grade 1-6,
with fifteen young school orators
competing.
Speaking first in her group she
gave a .pictnresque and clear-
voiced', story of . Mrs. Suzanne.
1Vioodic, .one of Canada's finest
Women writers of. the 19th century,
giving examples of Mrs. l'Vloodie's

yor many years Flower Sunday
in WIngharn United Church has
tracted hundrea Of People to the
Sunday School Anniversary, The
object of the teachers and officers
bee been to develop some religious
'theme against a background of
flowers and music. Many of these
services are long remembered by
adults who were once children,
when the theme of some particular

Last Sunday morning organ mu-
sh:, 'played by Mr. R. Gray, pre-
pared the large congregation for
the subject, "Anchors for Living",
whieh was one of the most impres-
sive yet presented. Neither driving
,rain nor cold winds affected the
large congregation, which started
te gather long before the opening
hour, and finally completely fill-
ed the church.
As the people entered they found
a purely nautical setting reaching
across the front of the church and
putting special emphasis on the
anchors which bind us to our God
and Church. Springing from a
background of. greenery, seven wa-
terfalls of different sizes and
heights, depicting the passing of
life, sniped into a calm pool at the
bottom; and the -water was carried
peacefully away.
At one end of the pool rode a
three-muted schooner, "Ship of
Life", which a breeze sometimes
blew off its charted course, but the
tranquility ' of the pool, bordered
with trilliums 'and 'dotted with lily
pads, gave evidence of the peacee
fulness with which a Christian soul
finally Passes to its God.
On each side ef the pool stood
two captain's wheels, by which the
"Ship of Life" is steered. These
were afterwards filled with flowers.
High up on the gallery railing two
ship's bells, fashioned in pink flow-
ers, suspended ' in white frames,
marked the watches of day and
night,
