The morning devotions, ta- ken by Mrs. Frank Smith, Mrs. W. Strickler and Mrs. Mac Engel of Cranbrook Auxiliary, dealing with Genesis, chapter 1, showed that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Reports of the secretaries of the various departments were received and all showed that 1962 had been an encouraging year. Mrs. Russel Martin, Mrs. S. J. Stewart and Mrs. Gordon Campbell of the Molesworth Auxiliary, in conducting the afternoon devotions, explained that in the last judgment, God will judge each one according to his reaction to human need in giving help with no reward expected, doing it as unto Christ. Mrs, W. Murchison, presi- dent of Wingham Auxiliary, in welcoming the guests, corn - pared the meeting to a family re -union where many helpful ideas are interchanged. Rev, R. McLeod, Lucknow, Modera- tor of Huron -Maitland Presby- tery, felt that the inspiration. among women to carry on the missionary work, is guidance from the Holy Spirit. DEACONESS SPEAKS The highlight of the after- noon was the address by Miss F. Goertzen, the deaconess of St. Matthew's Church, Toronto, doing downtown mission work there.. The mission work of the church is to look into the future and to help those who need someone to fasten life to. If the church disregards this mission, it is no longer the church of Jesus Christ. Mission- ary service is effective not only in larger fields but in the homes At present the tragedy of child- ren forced to care for them- selves, is evidenced in the problems of adolescents of to- day. Is our church program meeting the needs of our child- ren and young people growing up in present day environment? Following this challenging talk, arrangements were made for the synodical meetings to be held in Wingham in April, 1963. Mrs. Moffat in herclos- ing remarks, compared the missionary departments to the parts of a wheel, showing the necessity of all parts working together to make a united suc- cessful effort. The officers were installed by MissGoertzen. Mrs. Sutherland, Ripley, ex- pressed thanks to all who had helped to make the meeting a success. Mrs; Speir, as incom- ing president, asked for the sup- port of the members during 1963, and Mrs. A. Mundell, Belmore, closed the meeting with prayer.

In the ancient Roman week, the fifth day was that of the god Jupiter, another wielder of thunder- bolts. There are two Holy Thursdays, the first just before Easter; the second, 40 days after it. Wingham Advance -Tin as, Thursday, Jan. 24, 1901— Page 11 -- ^- -- "It sounds more like my brother Teddy than it does me!" Ted says, "It sounds most like Bobby" ! Regardless of who it sounds like, it is top entertainment. Although I don't find Alan Sherman's album quite as en- tertaining as 'First Family', it too is top listening fun, particu- larly the 'Sarah Jackman' rou- tine to the tune of 'Frere Jac- ques'. Sherman was also com- pletely un,cnown in show busi- ness before this record, at least, on the entertaining end of it. He used to be a tele- vision producer. Even if he doesn't quite equal Vaughn Meader, he has something else working for him: his new album 'My Son, The Celebrity', which I'm betting will he just as big as, if not bigger than, his first effort, 0--0--0 If Kim Stanley doesn't win an Emmy for her performance as the drug addict in Ben Casey's 'Cardinal Act of Mercy', I'll eat all this snow with which we have been so richly blessed! 'Tis Show BIZ If Helen Hays is the 'Great Lady' of American theatre, Sophie Tucker must surely be the 'Great Lady' of the enter- tainment world. Her appear- ance on the Ed. Sullivan Show ort her 75th birthday, January 13th, was one of the most heart-warming sights on tele- vision in ages. Her act, as well as being entertaining, is philisophical, and she is so visibly moved at the slightest show of appreciation. She was one of the stars who appeared at the Royal Command Perfor- mance in London, England, last year and it is easy to see how she managed to steal the show from everyone else and impress our Queen so greatly. She is magnificent; may she bring even more pleasure to the world in the remaining quarter-century of her life. 0--0--0 Did you know that Tammy Grimes, the guest star of Garry Moore this week, is the ex- wife of Canadian actor Christo- pher Plummer, last year's Stratford star? 'Strue! They were wed for about three years, have a small daughter. Plum- mer remarried an English girl last year, just before coming to Canada. 0--0--0 Edie Adams' singing hasim- proved a great deal since her last series on CBC -TV, which was a summer Chevy series a few years ago. And, although she has been basically known as a comedienne, she showed no flair for comedy in her special on Wednesday evening, It was designed, instead, to show her singing talent and nothing else. The widow of comedian Ernie Kovaks, who was killed a year ago this month, she has been busier and has become a much bigger star since his death, She carried her show well, as far as the music was concerned, but _ where talking was concerned she went over like a lead bal- loon! It seemed as though every word was an effort. 0--0--0 People are talking about... Hazel McKirdy, the 13 -year- old singer who was born in Lon- don, England, came to Canada four years ago, and now lives in Kitchener, Ontario. She ap- peared on local television last week, and this week made a personal appearance on stage. This is all a partof a tour that she is making with members of the Doc Williams Show from Wheeling, West Virginia. It has already taken her to Kitch- ener, Galt Brantford, Ingersoll and Hamilton, and is to con- tinue in Trenton and Niagara Falls, New York. Before that, she appeared at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, in a segment with Hank Snow. Quite naturally, she loves sing- ing and wants to make it a full- time career. This dream will be further realized when she cuts her first record shortly. As, far as personal opinions go, she is strictly a western -type singe; but then some of the western stars are becoming very wealthy these days. However, though her voice does leave much to By Venni Lee 'First Family' is a take -off on the everyday happenings of President Kennedy and his fam- ily, and is about the funniest thing to ever happen in a re- cording studio. It succeeds in poking some good old-fashioned fun at the top Americans but does so with so much good taste that no one should become in- sulted. The fact that we are Canadians should not rule out our enjoyment of it. The Presi- dent resident is played by Vaughn Mea- der who got his start on 'Talent Scouts' last summer and has rocketed to the top in a matter of a few months. Right now, he is on a cross-country tour in the U.S, doing cuts from the album. And what is the Presi- dent's reaction to the record? W. R.
