A sumptuous potluck dinner was
served to the Silver Tops at the
Auburn Hall on April 15.
The guest speaker, Sally Lawton
of Wingham head of the Senior
Day Centre was introduced by
Margaret Hildebrand, who is one of
their volunteer drivers.
Sally then gave an account of the
work of the centre and showed
pictures of the activities. There are
games, trips, exercises and of
course "company". There are also
special days and entertainment for
Alzheimer cases and those with
similar problems.
The volunteer drivers supply
transportation and also are
companions. The seniors are taken
to zoos, special farms, shows at

The Silver Tops learned that the
Day Centre is certainly worthwhile

appreciated.

there," he said.
The children responded in prayer
with Rev. Ross before going to
their Sunday School classes.
Rev. Ross continued with
scripture from Acts 5. Peter and
other apostles told the High Priest
that it was correct that they obeyed
God not man. He continued with
passage from John 20. Here Christ
returned to the disciples and said,
"Peace be with you". Later Thomas
saw Him and finally believed that
he lived.
Rev. Ross's sermon was ''What's
the Good News?" "God came and
we must remember that He is still
with us," he said. In life one is
bound to meet some difficulties and
sometimes feel hopeless. However
the 'good news' is that with faith
and trust in God people are helped
through trials.

Airport use
draws
petition
A petition with 17 signatures was
presented to Morris Council, at the
April 17 meeting, asking for action
against the excessive noise at the
Wingham airport.
Submitted by Deborah Himmel-
man, the petition said that exces-
sive noise was created by the tow
plane used for the glider school.
She told council the gliders had
been at Hanover airport previously,
but were no longer because they
interfered with other planes.
The petitioners said they would
be in favour of a winch system
being used at all times.
Doug Layton of the airport com-
mittee said the school would use a
winch in the spring and if a quieter
plane could not be found for the
fall, the gliders would not be back.
