SPECIAL CHOIR SELECTIONS Commemorate Birthday Of Baden-Powell WROXETER--On Sunday Morning the junior and inter- mediate choirs occupied the choir loft in the United Church. The organist and choir leader, Mrs, A. Edwin Martin, was accompanied at the piano by Miss Carol Louttit for preludes, hymns and postlude. The junior choir sang "Some- body Did a Golden Deed" by Clements and Welden, in two- part harmony. Rev. F, Taylor based his thoughts on the text, "Let this mind be in you, which is also in Christ Jesus". He said that Paul's epistles are helpful and glow with encouragement. He reminded the people of Phillipi, first a Greek city and then a Roman city of paganism, that it was possible to change and have the mind of Christ. The powers of eloquence, learning, wealth, rank and or- naments can be evil if not gov- erned by the will of Christ. Economics, pleasures, corrupt living and unholy desires must be kept in place by having the mind of Christ. Mr. Taylor stressed that when seeking a pattern to follow we can not do better than to follow the mind of Jesus. Members of the Boy Scouts, Cubs and C. G. I. T. attended the evening service in a body. The choir sang the anthem, "Christ Is Mine" by Benton and Wilson.

The one annual campaign conducted by the Ontario So- ciety for Crippled Children and its associated service clubs in 230 communities in Ontario is of vital importance to more than 16, 000 crippled children. Every service and activity of the Society -- such as its nurs- ing program, treatment centres, camps, clinics, provision of equipment, transportation and so on is dependent upon the success of this Easter Sealcam- paign. No less than $1,000,000. will do the job efficiently for Ontario's crippled children in 1964. During the forty year history of the Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children, Easter Seal contributions have paved the way for a program which has no equal in the world. This ef- ficient rehabilitation program is of vital importance to the lives of crippled children in all parts of this province. Each year, Easter Seal dol- lars help a rehabilitation team made up of doctors, therapists, nurses, brace -makers, teachers, and volunteers to study, analyse and diagnose hundreds of crip- pling conditions. Each case is considered and followed through individually so that each child will eventually participate to the best of his or her ability in a fruitful life without the shack- les of dependency. Every Easter Seal gift is of some help to a crippled child.
