president, Mrs. Farish Moffat,
in the chair.
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.

THE GOD WHO
WAS THURSDAY
The fifth day of the week
takes its name from Thor,
Norse god of thunder. 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.

my brother Teddy than it does

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,

'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.

Grimes, the guest star of Garry

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.

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?

what she has upstairs are going fl
to go a long way towards mak- 0
ing her a star. She is more at
ease and pleasing to talk to,
than many twice her age, as
evidenced on television last
