No doubt there were a few million people who saw one of ford visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Town. • --Little Marijo Heiesio of Goderich is spending a few days with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Elliott. —Mr. and Mrs, Bruce Mac- Donald and family visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Scott Jr, and family at Blyth. his nightly services which emits- ated in the Coliseum in Los Angeles, With that area seat- ing over 100, 000, and being about half filled, there were 50, 000 watching and hearing him in action right there. What- ever hatever the audience Mr. Graham reached over the radio -TV net- work, it cost $700,000 for five nights during the "prime" eve-' ning hours. But he figured the expense was worth it in being able to reach so many people. One hundred and ninety years ago John Wesley wrote that on August 23, 1773, at the Amphitheatre at Gwenap in England, he spoke to 30, 000 which in his own words was "Perhaps the first time a man of 70 had been heard by 30, 000 at once!" Great speakers have address- ed great audiences before and since, but it is doubtful even on a calm day Evangelist Gra- ham could be heard by 30, 000 at one time without the us., ^f a loud speaker. But it doesAlIF show the difference science has made possible between the small groups first preached to by Christ and his Disciples, to the 30, 000 spoken to by John Wesley, and the millionsBil'ly Graham spoke to each evening last week, The frightening thing of it all is that Mr, Graham quoted from the scriptures that in the last days such mass communi- cations as he was taking ad- vantage of would be one of the igns the end is near. —Rodney i ercury.

He arrived at Clinton in June from RCAF Station Rockcliffe. Sgt. Dawkins' needle point and petit point artistic endea- vours have won four firsts in four entries at the Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa.
