TEMPLEMAN The April meeting of the Hibbert United Church Women was held in the Fami- ly Life Centre with Mrs. Filmer Chappel and Mrs. Bert Daynard in charge of the program. With Mrs. Arthur Kemp as pianist, the worship service centred around the theme "Choices" enlarging on the thought that each one is faced with making many decisions and that we must live with the results. By use of a map, our memories were refreshed as to the geography of the South Pacific Isles, and this was followed by a slide presenta- tion by Mrs. Chappel. She told of her impressions about a number of these Pacific areas which she had seen.' Her descriptions and pic- tures of the different peoples and places helped greatly in making this study area come alive to her listeners. The business portion, con- ducted by Mrs. Murray Christie, included several thank you notes and appeals from several organizations.
