The roll call was answered with Psalm 41:1. Keith Elston took up the offering. Donna Mundell led in prayer and Keith Moffatt read the Scripture. Mrs. Ross Gray introduced the study book "The Golden Coin", and told the children about the author. She showed pictures to give the members an idea of the dress of Indian children. The story is of an Indian boy named Dod. The boy's grandfather, a Hindu, became angry because Dod's family be- came Christian. He told Dod about a good luck coin buried under a mango tree to be dug up in case of trouble. Dod wondered if it had any real power because all their good luck charms had been thrown away when they embraced Christianity. The village tea- cher was also a minister and looked after the whole village. BLUEVALE Mr. and Mrs. Elton Ma- hood and children of Goderich visited Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Parker on Sunday.

While teachers and students gazed at each other with mild surprise, the voice of Mr. Ma- dill, the principal, came over the intercom, reminding every- one that this was the fire alarm. Upon this assurance, orderly lines began to file out prescrib- ed doorways. There was a slight jam at some of the doors; many were reluctant to go out into the cold. After standing outside for a minute or two, everyone went back to his class. It was rumoured that the fire alarm was not part of a planned fire drill, but had been set off by some half-wit. The alleged culprit was a pupil, not a teacher. 0--0--0 After school dismissed the girls' basketball teams played two exhibition games at Luck - now and lost them both by close scores.

The Seniors staged a come -back that left them only two points behind with about a minute left in the game. However, they finally lost 34-29. Wayne Farrier got eighteen points for Wingham in a game notable for rough play which was more or less ignored by the referees. In the second game the Jun- iors, playing against a much taller Goderich team, were out -lucked 57-25. Glen Madill scored fifteen points for Wing - ham and Norm McKinney net- ted eight. 0--0--0 The Wingham Wrestling Team performed in Goderich's second gym while the basket- ball games were in progress.

Mr. Wood said that he had re- ceived a suggestion about school bars for the Science Club. To the best of his know- ledge, the bar system has been revised so that a member of any school club who has at- tended a certain percentage of the meetings for two consecu- tive years would receive a bar. Mr. Wood also is to inquire, before the next meeting, about a trip, possibly in April, to the Douglas Point Nuclear Power Station. The Bell Telephone Solar Science projects were divided among the members who wanted them. For the balance of the meet- ing, several members conduct- ed "experiments" with a tape - recorder and an audio -genera- tor constructed from a Heath kit, while others discussed and received advice on their pro- jects. All interested students are invited to attend the next meet- ing. 0--0--0 We have noticed that a few teachers and some students have been constantly plagued with menacing projectiles in the KING-SIZED PET Anybody want a five foot high, three -toed pet? The emu, which next to the ostrich is the largest of existing birds, is easily tamed. Moreover, there would be no danger of being without an emu around the house, because the female lays from 6 to 13 eggs in one clutch. form of chewed -up toothpicks. It is hoped no one gets seriously injured. CASH—if you live. CASH—if you die.. Protection for the family, Comfort in your retirement —All in one policy. Consult — Frank C.
