(Anonymous Miss Webber FI7d in Mitchell LAKELET — A pretty wedding was solemnized at Mitchell on Saturday, February 25, when Betty Louise, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Donald 'Webber, of ,Lakelet; was united in marriage with Kenneth F. Connolly,- son of Mrs, J. P. Con- nolly, of Mitchell and the late Mr. Con nolly, After the wedding dinner the young couple left for a trip to the Southern States. On their return they will reside in Mitchell, Daily fates SeIVIte Noah and rising alarmingly, you can often live rent-free on a roof top. 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 Kong, so the boy has known noth- ing but poverty of the most mis- 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. • The price of freedom has been heavy. Sin Chit's mother abandon- ed them When he was two. Their roof-top shack, is furpisbed, with two wooden beds, a table, two chairs and a desk where the fath- er works. But he never earns more than $5.25 a month, and were it not for occasional help from rela- tives in Formosa they simply Would not survive, Through it all Sin Chit, a bright, handsome boy, has remained neat, Well-behaved and courteous. He- is in the fifth grade of primary ,School and hopes to become an electrician. His chances of making it, pitifully slim before, have been dramatically improved thanks to Canadian Legion's Women's iliary, Branch 133, in Enfield, Nova Scotia, who have "adopted" Sin Chit through Foster Parents' Plan, These ladies have agreed to con- tribute a total of $15 a month to- ward the boy's welfare, which pro- vides a monthly cash grant of $8.00, plus food, 'clothing and ne- cessary medical care. Letters are exchanged with the boy, translated both ways by Plan, Even' more im- portant, to this motherless boy is the-knowledge that someone, some- where, cares enough to help, Why don't you, as an individual or as a member of a group, let some child love you?

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.

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.
