But such has not been the good
fortune of 11-year-old Lee Sin Chit
and his proud, but broken father.
They must pay $3.50 a month—over
half what the old man makes.
Sin Chit was less than a year old
when his parents fled to Hong

erable kind, despite the fact that
his father is a well-educated man
and was once an important official
in the payroll office of the Hunan
army, The father also wrote ar-
ticles for the newspapers. When
the Communists overran the main-
land, Mr. Lee had to choose be-
tween rank or freedom.

from the report which was adopted
by the. General. Council, "We have
favoured 'the establishment, of na-
tional advertising codes on condi-
tion that the objectiVe would be
in Dee with the Bracken Corornie-
Sion, namely, the elimination Of ,all
liquor advertising and promotion,"
said Mr, Husser, •
`Rev. A. E. Holley, of Grand
Bend, who acted as moderator of
the discuSsiona outlined the edit-
tent of the report and'drew atten-
tion to the recommendations. "Vol-
untary total abstinence •1s recom-
mended as the wisest and safest
course to fellow in relation to the
use of beverage alcohol," he said,
also quoting from the report. "Re-
cognition of a wrong within the
church is not new," said Mr. Hol-
ley. He pointed out that the church
has always recognized faults in its
membership but he added, "there
is a difference between recognition
of a wrong practice and approval
of that practice."
Tt was pointed out in the discus-
skin that the United Church in its
Councils has not approved the use
of alcoholic beverages as an ideal
of Christian conduct for its mem-
bers and that the church still
holds to the policy of voluntary
total abstinence. At the same time
the recent Council did call upon
the membership of the church -to
practice Christian love in their
attitude to all men and to be in-
formed in their opinions and tol-
erant toward their fellow church
members who hold different views.
Attention was drawn to the section
of the report which outlines guides
to responsible conduct for both
moderate drinkers and total ab-
stainers,
Also considered at this meeting
held in Wesley - Willis United
Church in Clinton was the interim
report on "The Doctrine and Prac-
tice ,of Church Membership." Sup-
port was given to the proposal of
the Commission that ideally it
should be a requirement in infant
baptism that at least one parent or
sponsor should be a member of the
church, A motion to this effect was
presented by Rev, William J, ten
Hoopen, of North Street United
Church, Goderich.
Born tat' Wingham, gaining his
education in the local schools, he
has lived- 'all his 'life in that
pleasant Ontario town, He early
entered Municipal life, serving
first on the Wingham Public 'Util-
ities Commiasion, later as•rneinber
of the municipal council and finally
am mayor — a sound apprentioe-
thin leading to his legislative
career.
Ike is married to the former Miss
Esther Campbell of WOodstock,
The couple recently celebrated their
fortieth wedding anniversary.
Tragedy struck the home 1954
when their only son, Jelin, lost his
life in a traffic accident.
'He carries on a successful busi-
ness in ladies' and men's furnish-
ings.
'In the Legislature-Mr. Hanna,has
always taken a lively interest In
health matters, more especially in
proposals as to research in heart
and circulatory diseases.
It may have been 'his extremely
lively feel for publicity which in
1948 led him to display some in-
terest in attaining the leadership
of the National Progressive Con-
servative Party.
In his earlier years he played
hockey and lacrosse, while in the
30's he was au outstanding lawn
bowler, touring England and Scot-
land with the famed A. M. Craw-
ford team.
For some years he has served
with distinction as a member df
the Ontario Racing Commission.
With the pending advent of ,night
harness racing the activitiet• of
the -commission in this sphere are
bound to increase.
People's Friend
Jahn Hanna's chief •interest in
life is people, a subject of which
indeed he -has a rare understand-
beg. A model of sartorial 'elegance,
always at home in any kind of
company, he has the happy faculty
of giving his complete attention to
the one With whom he is talking,
His rare capacity for making and
keeping friends is evidenced by his
re-election in one campaign after
another. •
Certainly Queen's Park is a live-
lier, happier and warmer place
through the presence of John W.

people.
