Don Lloyd and Bob Ahem, of the Group Committee, made arrangements for purchasing the apples, arranged to have cars available, mapped and allocated the town and assisted at the town hall. Mrs. Bob Ahara and Mrs. Don Lloyd, Assistant Cub Leaders, were in charge of activities at the town hall. Cub Leader Murray Fri- denburg and Assistant Scout- master Crawford Douglas took charge of the boys. They also drove a group of Scouts to Teeswater on Saturday morn- ing to tag. Many original and attrac- tively decorated baskets arriv- ed Saturday morning. Miss Mildred McClenaghan. was ask- ed to judge the winner before the boys left at 9 o'clock. Len- nie Johnson received first prize. The slogan on his basket was "Our Citizens of To -morrow" . While a few large rain drops threatened to spoil many of these works of art, the sun soon came out to compete with the eager smiling faces of the boys. There were over 60 Wolf Cubs and approximately ten Boy Scouts selling apples. All reported to the town hall to join the Apple Polishing Party Friday evening and several of the Scouts took advantage of "open night" to get an early start on selling apples. Prize winners for high tag- ging were Ted Ahara of the Scouts, Bryon Brooks of "A" Pack and Bobby La Rose, "B" Pack Cubs. The prizes are donated by the Group Commit- tee and will be awarded at the meetings this week. The Mothers' Auxiliary treated the boys to chocolate milk both morning and after- noon. This was much apprec- iated by the busy taggers who enjoyed the refreshment while their baskets were being filled. The Group Committee re- ports receipts of $390 — a re- cord amount and express their appreciation to the townspeo- ple for their generous support of such a worthwhile endeav- our. The funds will be used for the benefit of the boys in various ways throughout the coming year; bus transporta- tion, assistance for camp, ad- ditional equipment and many such projects. _ Miss Meta Salter Buried Saturday Funeral service was held Saturday for Miss Meta Salter, . 54, of Exeter, who died Wed- nesday in South Huron Hospital, Exeter, as a result of a car - pedestrian accident on Oct. 2.

What are the effects of these changes on the social and religious life of the com- munity? Can the churches strengthen their role in the rural community? Can rural people find in the church, the commit- ment ommitment they have had in the past. These are but a few of the questions which Farm Forum will raise on two programs on November 4th and 11th. On the first program;' Where Two or Three Are Gathered To- gether" , laymen and ministers will examine the rural church. Individuals and groups have been recorded from all deno- minations and these items will be used to illustrate the range of feeling and conviction about the place of the modern rural church. The following week, Nov- ember llth, questions from the groups meeting on November 4th, will be answered on the broadcasts, Groups will then examine their own communi- ties, their own churches and themselves, This focus on their own situation will provide an opportunity for further com- munity study groups or for action to solve problems. Well over 1000 church groups are expected to meet for the two occasions, in ad- dition to the regular farm forums. Questions which cannot be answered on the second broad- cast will be examined in a pamphlet, to be prepared by a joint committee of Catholic and Protestant clergymen. This pamphlet will be prepared and distributed following the broad- casts. Anyone is invited to form a study group for these two oc- casions. Contact your local clergyman, your provincial Farm Forum Secretary, SHOW CALVES Thirty-two Huron County 4-k1 members will show their 4-11 beef calves at the Walker- ton Christmas Fair today (Thurs- day).
