toxic effect of smoke from any
type of fire, which can prove
fatal if proper precautions are
not taken. The last film was

In the fire in lower Wing -
ham two factors caused com-
plete loss of the house, One
was the zero weather, causing
fsmps and nozzles to freeze
tantly on contact with water,
and the other was that the fire
was through the roof and out of
control on arrival.

We hope the incident of at-
tempted arson at the home of
Capt. Bill Bain is not an indi-
cation that someone has the
bug. It can happen, and does
happen in the city, but not hero,
we hope.
I believe many thanks are in
order to Mrs. Les. MacDougall
of Lower Wingham for thesand-
wiches supplied to those at the
fire, and also Capt. Newman
for hot coffee.

St. Andrew's, 100 Successful Years
The annual meeting of St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church
was held last Wednesday eve-
ning at eight o'clock. The
meeting was preceded by a pot
luck supper served to the con-
gregation by the Ladies' Aid of
the church. A large crowd was
in attendance. Rev. Gordon L.
Fish conducted the devotional
exercises with the Scripture
lesson and prayer. A time of
silent prayer was observed in
memory of 23 former members
and friends who passed away
within the year just closed.
Scott Reid was elected chair-
man
hairman and Murray Rae assumed
secretarial duties. Reports of
the past year from each depart-
ment of the church were re-
viewed and plans made for
1963. Mr. Reid, speaking on
behalf of the congregation,paid
high tribute to the capable
leadership of Rev. Fish and to
Harold V. Pym, organist and
choir leader, for his faithful
service.
The year has been spiritually
refreshing to the people of St.
Andrew's. Givings have in-
creased, objectives met and
many plans have come to frui-
tion. There are 310 families
in the congregation with a total
membership of 545. Twelve
groups function towards the ser-
vice of the church. There are
twenty-five members of Session
and fifteen members on the
Board of Managers.
St. Andrew's marked great
progress during 1962, most not-
able of which was the celebra-
tion of the 100th anniversary of
the congregation. Anniversary
booklets were compiled and
five specialservices were held
during the year commemorating
the occasion. Outstanding
events were the setting apart of
Peter D. McKague and John
D. Congram to the Presbyterian
ministry. Rev. McKague and
Rev. Congram are presently
serving mission charges in Sas-
katchewan. In June an open
air Conventicle sen ice washeld
on the original site of the first
Presbyterian Church in Wingham.
At this service many of the
pioneer customs were re-inact-
ed. Rev. Finlay Stewart of
Kitchener was guest speaker.
1-Iome Coming Sunday was
highlighted by the presence of
Dr. David Perrie, son of the
late Dr. Perrie who served St.

Slow Heart
Ever hear of a 'slow' heart?
Ingemar Johansson, ex -heavy-
weight champion of the world,
has one. Medically it's known
as 'exceptional cardiac reserve'.
The average healthy heart
beats 10 to 80 times a minute,
Johansson's — 48 times a min-
ute. That's normal for him.
Whether your heart beats fast
or slow is nothing to worry
about as long as it's healthy.
And one way to help keep it
that way is to support your
Heart Fund and its all-out pro-
gram of research, education
and service, Give generously
to the Canadian Heart Fund,
22 College Street, Toronto.
It's the best investment you can
make against heart disease,
your Number One health enemy.
