I HATE TO THINK /OF LEAVING! / WELL, AT LEAST /// I'LL BE GLAD TO GET BACK SOI CAN GET PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED AT VANCE'S DRUG STORE, •.41, Review Year at St. Andrew's, Appoint Officers at Annua6 The congregation of St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church re- viewed 1963 in its life as a church at its annual meeting on Wednesday, February 5th. Af- ter a well -attended pot -luck supper and social time, the congregation adjourned to the church auditorium, where Gor- don Leggatt was appointed chairman and Murray Rae, sec- retary. Mr. Fish opened the meet- ing with a reading from 1 Peter, a few words of welcome and prayer. There was no business arising from the reading of last year's minutes; thus the elec- tion of church officers com- menced. The Board of Man- agers required a slate, whose term will expire in 1966, and those election were: R. Hamil- ton, F. McGee, G. W. Cruick- shank, S. C. Reid and T. R. Henderson.

Cruickshank and J. Lane had C. Perrott added to their roster. One of the trustees, W. Joseph Henderson, having been removed by death, W. T. Cruickshank was elected to serve along with R. H. Lloyd and K. McKague. For auditors, Roy Hunter and David Horwood were selected. There were no salary re- visions made, but note was taken of the fact that in May 1964, H. V. Pym will cele- brate his twenty-fifth anniver- sary as organist and choir -lead- er of St. Andrew's. General business included reports from all societies and departments of the church. Progress and evidence of great vitality is noted in many areas.. One par- ticular form of outreach is worthy of note, namely the successful production of "Foot- steps", a television programme for children. The response to this both within and without the church has been beyond all expectations. It has tapped the talents of a considerable num- ber of both adults and children within the congregation, and written response, to date, has been received from 44 com- munities within the viewing area, Tribute is due to the co- operation of CKNX both in the realm of finance and personnel. The "Presbyterian Record" for February also contains two pages of pictures and narrative concerning this venture in faith. Financially it is more than pay- ing its way by the regular giv- ing of the congregation by means of monthly envelopes. The session report revealed that the membership had in- creased from 545 to 594; an in- crease of 63 was offset by a loss of 14; and in his closing re- marks Mr. Fish paid tribute to those members removed by death, especially the two de- voted elders in the persons of Mr. Alkin Hastings and Mr. Archibald M. Peebles. Local givings of this congre- gation approached $30,.000 ($29,509.85). Out of this, giv- ings to others amounted to $8, 080.59 of which .14, 784.45 went to t3udget; $1,929.55 to the Women's Missionary Society (from all its societies within the congretation); i, 366.59 has been raised for the Foot- steps programme and a bursary for a Korean student (this lat- ter a project of the Couples' Club). The congregation ac- cepted an allocation of $1, 019.15 for the financing of a new Presbyterian college at Montreal, and the new Budget allocation of $6,190.00 was accepted. Financial support to the amount of $254.00 was given to Camp Kintail and a contribution of $37.32 went to anotDer student bursary. The work of the church is largely intangible but in so far as it can be assessed the congre- gation viewed 1963 with satis- faction and 1964 as a challenge. The meeting concluded with words of appreciation by Mr. Fish and a benediction. B&PW To Hold Fashion Show The Business and Profession- al Women's club was catered to last Tuesday evening by Group 2 of the U.C.W. in the United Church parlour. The tables were decorated with red cand- les with a bowl of red carna- tions on the head table. There were 37 members and visitors present. Miss Yvonne McPherson, Mrs, F. Forgie, Mrs. D. Mil- ler and Mrs. El. Campbell were in charge of the program. A sing song was led by Mrs. E. Shera with Mrs. M. Douglas at the organ. This meeting was designated as a special obser- vance of International Week -- a yearly tribute to the Inter- national Federation of B. and P, Women. Mrs. Forgie read an aritcle on the theme for Feder- ation Night, "Full Development of Human Resources". Mrs. Miller introduced the guest speaker, Norman Wel- wood, who showed slides of his trip last September to France and Germany and commented on same, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Miss McPher- son thanked the speaker. Mrs. Ostrom, the president, took over the business and wel- comed two new members into the club.

Hears History of Call to worship and prayer by Miss V. McLaughlin, opened the February meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The hymn "0 Send Thy Light Forth" was sung. Miss K. Pringle based her meditation on the portions of Scripture referring to light, and the spreading of that light to the whole world. Because of his faith, a blind man was given his sight -- and many around him also believed. All unsaved persons are blinded by sin but Jesus has proclaimed himself the light of the world. We as Christians should reflect that light to others. Christ's .command was to preach the gospel to every creature. All can be accepted and transform- ed by Jesus. Prayer was offered by Mrs. 13. Homuth. Following the minutes and business, the offering was re- ceived and the offertory prayer given by Mrs. R. Galbraith. A lovely duet, "Beautiful Land", was sung by Mrs. J. McGee and Mrs, F. Moffat. The topic "'low are we, The Presbyterian Church in Canada, in India?" was taken by Mrs. W. Ford, Mrs. J. Smith and Miss H. Wilson. The church has two fields in India -- the Bh11 Area and the Jhamsi Missionaries Area. Pioneer missionaries on the Bhil field were Dr, John and Mrs. Buchanan and Dr. Fraser Campbell. They visited the Bhil field in 1889. In 1889 Dr. Buchanan drove into the Ambhut Valley and be- came the first missionary of the Presbyterian Church of Canada among the Bhils. Instead of having his bungalo built and ready, he preferred to have the Bhils help him build it. In this way they received training for practical living as well as spiritual training. 13y a path of sweat, toil, tears and danger, he and his helpers established schools and started a medical work among the Bhils. On his retirement in 1937, he wrote to his fellow missionaries. "I leave this cause under God to you. The Bhils shall yet he a mighty force in the evangeliz- ation of India. Do not be satis- fied with small things. Go in and possess the land." Dr. John and Mrs. Wilkie were pioneers on the Jhansi field where work began in 1904. He came to Jhansi for a tempor- ary stay but remained. His dream was to establish a self- supporting church in this part of India and to establish schools to train people who would be mis- sionaries to their own people. Dr. Wilkie had great faith in prayer. He believed God would supply but he felt that God ex- pected him to do his part too. He was never too busy to look, listen, teach and pray -- even with one hearer. As we look hack at these de- vout missionaries, let us also look forward and think of what we could do with God's help to fulfil their dreams. Following the singing of "Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life", Mrs. D. Rae closed the meeting with prayer.

Freeze -Drying Is Not Yet Practical Freeze-dried foods got some new publicity last year when U.S. astronauts used samples in their space flights. It's only within the last few years that freeze-drying has become a practical commer- cial process for preserving food. Freeze-dried foods are differ- ent from frozen or dehydrated products. Food that is to be freeze- dried is first blanched and then cooked. Next, it is cut into small pieces which are quick- frozen. The frozen food pieces are then dried until only about 2O1, moisture remains. The final product, strangely enough, is not a frozen food but rather a dried food. This means that it can be kept at normal room temperature with- out refrigeration for as long as two years, providing the pack- age is tightly sealed to keep out air and moisture. Flavor is one of the strong points of freeze-dried foods. Some taste panels have judged certain freeze-dried foods such as soup, ham, sausage, chick- en, and swiss steak to have al- most as good a flavour as the fresh product. Unfortunately, costs run a little on the high side. For this reason, very little use is cur- rently being made of freeze- dried foods at the retail level, although large quantities are used by the military forces and other institutions. Manufacturers are hopeful, however, of lowering produc- tion costs so that freeze-dried foods can be made available to the average shopper. If the price were right, for example, a big market likely could he found among the thousands of campers and vacationers each summer. Never grease the sides of a cake part.
