McKinney, of Wing- ham, said-this weaz that he had beets appointed to look into the possibilities of having the muni- cipalities not already attached to the Middle Maitland River Auth- ority join together in order to have the whole watershed under one conservation group. He stated that Austin Stinson, of Harriston, and Lyle Jackson, of Listowel, bad re- ceived similar appointments by the provincial government. Mayor .McKinney pointed out that the Middle Maitland Conser- vation Authority now consists of the town of Listowel, the villages of Brussels, Atwood and Monkton, and the townships of Morris, Grey and Elma. Other municipalities within the Maitland watershed Which could be included in an authority covering the whole area include the towns of Goderich, Harriston, Palmerston, Blyth and Wingham as well.as the townships of Turnberry, Hullett, East and West Wawanosh Colborne, Us- borne, Howick, Wallace; McKiilop and GOderich, According 'to Mayor McKinney if an authority. covering the whole of the Maitland watershed can be set up, a great deal of benefit can be derived for the district.

On that day the Red Cross is holding a clinic for blood donors in the Legion Home-an effort which will be wasted unless YOU are willing to co-operate. Until a short time ago blood for transfusion pur. poses was a costly commodity-usually $25.00 a pint. If you, your wife or your children were taken to the hospital and a series of transfusions was found neces- sary,. the bill would have been a staggering one. Ref cognizing the great need in this field, the Canadian Red Cross Society established a number of "blood banks' from which you or your family may be supplied in case of need. They are ready and waiting to Serve those who need blood at any hour of the day or night. Like monetary banks, however, it is impossible to make repeated withdrawals unless there is an equal number of deposits. Right at the present time the bank's balance is dangerously low. The blood 'bank at the Wingham Hospital is in such short supply that requests for blood may soon be refused unless the people of this community refill the bottles at the clinic on Tuesday. Donating your blood is not a painful process and ordinary, healthy individuals are not affected by the loss of blood. In addition to the service you can render to others, you gain a distinct advantage for yourself. for when your blood is token and typed you are given a card stating your own blood classification. Carried in your wallet, this card might well save your own life in case of accident. It provides an immediate guide for doctors or hospital authorities if you ever need blood replaced in your own body-something worth thinking about.

Special music provided by the choir, under the leadership of Alan D. Bennett, director of music, in- cluded the anthems, "The Strife Is O'er" by Ley and "Joyful Is the Morning! by Lotti. A special feature of the morning service was an Easter sacrament of infant baptism, when the fol- lowing' babies were • received by baptism: David Edward, son of Mr. and 'Mrs. Roy Bennett;, Eliza- beth Ann, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Richard Wehmeyer; Lynn Miriam, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. S. Whittemore; Philip Dale, son of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Wolf- enrien; Catherine Louise, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Show- ers. The parents were led to the baptismal fount by Russel Zur- brigg, representing the session, and the flower girl for the occasion was Miss Debbie Gibson. The minister, 'Rev. T. Garnett ,tosser, ,;spoke j Ont . the, ""SuliJeq,; "You Can't Hold'Bacll the bawsi'',- taken from St. Matthew's gospel. He stressed the fact that just as the high priests and Pontius Pi- late were powerless to prevent the resurrection of Christ from the tomb, so men today are power- less to prevent the gift of eternal life which God gives to all His people. It will come as assuredly as comes, the dawn of a new day' and the springtime after the win- ter. For all those who mourn the passing of a loved one this assur- ance of eternal life brings not only comfort but puts a song in our hearts. It is the very heart and core of the Christian message that We accept this gift from God of everlasting life and begin to live eternally now.
