W. met last Wed- nesday. Mrs. Gordon Mc- . Burney conducted the worship service on the theme "Is our faith big enough for times like these?" Mrs. McBurney gave the meditation and Scripture was read responsively. A discus- sion period followed. Mrs. Arthur Jackson offered prayer. The offering was received by Miss Doreen Taylor and dedi- cated by Mrs. McBurney. The mission study, "Homes and Home Life in Trinidad", was given by Mrs. Roy Pattison. Mrs. Jackson played a record- ing of the Lord's Prayer in cal- ypso style, as used in Trinidad. The ladies sang a response. Mrs. Ken Mason gave the paper "Godly Remembrance", on citizenship. "We have been troubled with vandals," Mr. Chisholm reported, "and I have put out m one week," Mr. Chis- holm suggested that the first tloc'r .rt a building should be :olt this year and finish the test later on, to overcome stockpiling. The warden called upon Mr. Neill, who said he had many models he hoped still to make. "I came here 14 years ago," he said, "and you paid me ;)00 for 1,000 articles. Now there are 7,000, worth $0s, 000. This has been a great asset to the history of our county, and has cost the tax- payers very little. Ninety per cent of the money over the desk comes from outside the county, Six years ago we put in the locomotive, and the money looked serious. That will pay for itself and the building over it, in time. Two years ago we could most likely have had a school car, butlet it slip."

Stuart Forbes. Reeve Mcllwain said prices for uniforms had been obtained, but would not be con- sidered until candidates had completed the course. "These police are trainedby EMO," Mr. Forbes said, "and we have had each police chief approved as an instructor, and they are under his direction at all times. "We have our rescue instruc- tor approved, and are hoping by the beginning of the year to begin training for rescue groups. The instructor has been in con- tact with the safety group at the salt mine, and it will be part of the organization. "We have completed a traf- fic plan for Huron --one way. In event of a disaster, all.traf- fic will move in one direction and no lane will cross another. The provincial police have ap- proved it and it has been sent to EMO Toronto, but we have not heard yet whether or not they are in favor." The budget is in excellent condition. There has been a directive issued by the county to the ef- fect they have not been apply- ing any pressure on towns to produce a mutualaid fire plan. They are in favor of it, butMr. Forbes does not feel they can bring pressure to bear on any town.

CANCEL SERVICES BECAUSE OF SNOW WHITECHURCH- The heavy snowfall of Saturday and Sun- day resulted in the Presbyter- ian Church services at Chal- mers and Langside being can- celled, but by afternoon the weather had cleared and Rev. Mitchell was able to be pres- ent and conduct services at the United Church. Baptism GORRIE-Teresa Marie An- dari, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Andati, of Clinton, was received into the church by baptism at St. Stephen's An- glican Church, Gotrie, by Rev. G. A. Anderson on Sunday morning. Godparents were Miss Esther Steckle and Louis Freeman of Clinton. tion and assist in any way we can; but my problem is that I must produce a fire plan and it is possible only when mutual aid has been put in effect. I think there has been er- roneous information passed around that we must have a fully paid fire chief, but this is not so. We could have a fire director for the county who is a volunteer." "It is my opinion, and that of the fire marshal, that com- munities of 5, 000 and over should have a fully paid chief, trained in a fire prevention pro- gram and also for mutual aid, If you have a large fire, it is costly to bring in other depart- ments to fight it, but under the mutual aid scheme they are available at no cost, and you get 45% from the two govern- ments to buy apparatus. Over a period of time it is a progres- sive step. "I am trying personally to buy a jeep, which might make a rescue vehicle." "The civil emergency plan in Goderich is well advanced. One of our problems is Exeter, where we would like to get along with the plan as quickly as possible. Wingham is organ- ized the same as the county planning group. They have 14 members and run their organiz- ation well. We have bylaws in all the towns except Exeter, based on county bylaw 55. They name their own members, so we get continuity."
