The Association has estimated that approximately $3,100 will he required to enlarge the beading,. make repairs and install a, pro- per Beating system. While pro- vincial grants are available to as- sist. with instruction, motley for the building itself mast be raised lo- cally. With this in mind, the Kins. men Club accepted the project as worthwhile, and fell into the oh. jecis of Kinsmen, which is to "fill the community's greatest aced". Kinsman Jack Walker was chair- man of Lhe committee which work- ed with the. Retarded Child'ree's Association in an effort to deter- mine what should be done at the. school. While the club voted the neves. sni'y funds for the project, It was also decided that the Kinsmen shook' look after the itecesSary building eolitracts, and where pos- sible., volunteer help from the club will he utilized In .order to keep the costs of the project at a minimum through personal service. It. hos been suggested that with an enittrgeci building, some child- ren in the district who are not now receiving instr,ietioin, will in the future attend the school. At the, Friday night meeting of the Kinsmen Club, which took the form of a ladies' night at the Le- gion Horne, Kin ferc;1 Templeman reported that the survey relative to the possibility of a senior citi- zens' apartment had been complet- ed. He stated that enough interest had been shown in the project to warrant application to Twin Pines Apartments to erect such a build- ing in Wingham. The survey was carried out to determine the need for such an apartment, and if the project goes through, the structure would con- tain eleven units, available to people over 60 and of limited In- come, Suggested slim for the build- ing is the old tennis court on ICd- ward Street, to the west of the town park. leinaricing for the $70,- 000 structure would be through Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, with Twin Pines, a non-protlt subsidiary of the United Co-operatives of Ontario acting as the construction ,agency. The Kins- men Club would probably contri- bttte to the building financially, as all donations to the project would have the effect of keeping the te0- tals at a lower level.

CHOIR PRESENTS CANTATA On Sunday morning an exchange visit took place between the min- ister and choir of Wingham United Church and the minister and choir of Ontario Street United Church, Clinton.

Treneer, pro- f vided the music. 1 In Wingham Rev, Grant Mills of Clinton had charge of the service and the Clinton choir presented the cantata, "Calvary" by Henry Wes- sel, embracing "The Seven Last !Words".

He also ex- , plained the setting and laid the scene before each Word at the Cross. 1, "Prather, Forgive Them for i They Know Not What They Do". IChorus and solo by John Levis. 2.
