Tire Seripte re was read by Pamela }fus- ser and, John Strong Jr, announced the hymns. A large congregation had gather- ed to welcome the guest speaker, John Crawford, of Wingham, a candidate for the ministry in the United Church, who spoke from the text, Luke 10:2, "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few": This was the condition which John, found when he went this summer to have oversight of the three-point charge at Cadillac, ,Sask. .For months there had been no regular church services over great areas of territory. He gave an interesting account of his work of ministry and visitation, and told about organizing a vacation school and attending a boys' camp for a week. The' text was highlighted as he told of the distances which were covered to visit the. settlers and he closed with. an appeal for more Christian workers in these areas. The ushers, for the service were members of the Y.P.U., Terry Merkley, Paul Hutton, Raymond Walker and Douglas Spry. • The minister of the church, Rev. T, G.

T4XPAYEit PLEA FOR INTEREST IN NOMINATIONS, Below we reprint a letter from an Advance-Times reader, pointing the finger of accusation at all those voluable but inactive people who grouse about the state of civic gov- ernment, but never get around to doing anything about it. The words are a bit harsh, but they are ab- eoletely true. Read this letter and think seriotesly about it before your nomination day; "Nomination day comes around this week. What does it mean to farmers in this district? The same old group of men will turn out, to the same ()id smoke-filled room, and with the same old nudge-- you nominate me and I'll nominate you. Then after a few yarns, the meeting will be over for another year and the same old gang will he at the helm. "Have you the best men in your township 'to represent you? Farm- ers, diligent in their own 'business affairs, living in the township, at- tending social meetings in church and community, giving leadership in rural life—men who haVe a mind of their own and cannot be bought? "Do they diligently collect the taxes and live on the pay-as-you-go method, or are 'taxes greatly in ar- rears, with your councillors using borrowed funds, at bank rates? Business, private and public, can quickly go into the bankrupt stage, when in the red too long. Why not publish the names of the two year offenders, and watch the back money come in?' "What are your reeve and coun- cillors planning?''Do they give a comprehensive report at the nom- ination, of how they spent the year? What accounts are still out? Or are you just not interested enough to turn out and find out how faithfully these men, who car- ry on the business of the township, carry out their tasks?" MRS. HENDERSON WINS PLATT CUP Thirteen district ladies entered a rifle shoot last Saturday, under the sponsorship of the Wingham Sportsmen's Association, at the club range. Top score was posted by Mrs. Jack Henderson with 47 out of a, possible 50, Mrs. Don. Biggs follow- ed with 42 and Mrs, Ernie King with 40. The winners were pre- sented with prizes at the Sports- men's banquet on Monday evening, Mrs. Henderson received a trophy and the second and third place winners received a necklace and a cup and saucer. The latter two being donated by Reg, Bitton. Following the individual corn- petition, a team shoot was arrang- ed with the ladies representing either Bluevale or Wingham, The Bluevale team took top honours, and Mrs. Ernie King was present- ed with a tray marking the win at the Monday banquet. The trophy won by Mrs, Hender- son is the Capt, T. W. Platt Trophy, which was first put up for com- petition in 1941 and was shot for again in 1942. Since that time the trophy has lain idle. It is understood that the ladies hope to form a rifle and pistol club of their own after the first of the year. Borden Jenkins, 1:risrac Cae- Isanette and Ron Bell assisted with the range duties. Following the shoot the lunch was served. An interesting point about the event was the fact that the men took over the baby-sitting duties while the ladies enjoyed the core- Tenders for Wingham's liquor store, which have 'been pending for, the past month, have been let to the Ross Urquhart Construction Co„ of London, The firm was in Wingham on Tuesday making preliminary sur- veys of the property and will start eoustrAction shortly.
