Reeve Ivan Hearn said it was not fair for, the present council to make any vital decisions for next year when there could be some new members ofcouncil beginning in December. Present council members Larry Hotson, Gary McFalls, Norm Steeper and Harry .Wraith are being challenged by newcomers Peter Butler, John Forster and James Robertson. At the same time Hearn said he disagreed with the provincial decision to move nominations and elections ahead.

On Sunday, November the 5th, Rev. Keith. Brown spoke on "A Divorcee Meets the Master", basing his remarks on the • story of the meeting between the woman of Samaria and Jesus, at Jacob's well. Thiswoman had three "hang-ups" which held her ' back from accepting all Jesus had to offer. First her racial prejudice, the long- standing hatred between Samaritans and Jews. Second her moral hang-ups and third her religion. However, when Jesus told . her that he was the Messiah, she accepted Him and dashed back to the town, leaving her water jug and forgetting all about His request for a drink of water. ,The love showing- in her eyes was not to draw men to her personally any more, but love for Jesus which glowed through her whole per- sonality. We too may accept Jesus and let his love glow in our daily lives. The choir sang an arrangement of "How Great -Thou Art", with John MacDonald taking the solo part.
