Two groups of women from the Mennonite church were guests. There was a very good turnout of our own members along with several guests from our own church. Group 4 consisting of Helen Consitt, Hilda Land- sbergen, Phillippa Steckle, Myrtle Deitz and . Florence Murray, was in charge of the evening's : program . Beatrice Rader and Florence Murray greeted everyone as they arrived. Helen Consitt extended a warm welcome to `everyone and opened the program with a poem. The opening hymn was no. 55 after which Hilda Landsbergen read the Scripture. lesson, Psalm 144 and offered prayer. We are very fortunate in having the talents of Heather and Tim Westlake as they entertained by playing several violin numbers. They are very talented young stars! Mrs. Audrey Haberer accompanied on the piano. The offering was received by Beatrice Rader and Florence Murray and. dedicated by Helen Consitt. The offertory ' played by Phillippa Steckle was "Danny Boy". After the dedication of the offering Phillippa Steckle read a poem "Hymn for Mother's Day." The guest speaker, Dr. P.L. Brady ,of Seaforth, was introduced by Helen Consitt. He spoke on "Acupuncture." In his introduction he mentioned that a visiting minister at a church put 25 cents in the poor box – The resident minister said the receipts of the poor box were generally given to the visiting minister. Needless to say he was the only one that had put more than a quarter in the box so a little boy said, "if you had put more than a quarter in you would have received more." This reference was made because of the work women put into the church and we get more out of it. Acupuncture is not a new art. It goes back 5000 years to China. They used,bamboo needles at this time. No one knows how it was discovered. It has been handed down from generation to generation. Dr. Brady took an in- troductory course about seven years ago. A group of doctors went to China and even in the 30s, the Chinese banned it and practiced Western medicine. He was very skeptical along with other doctors, but they were convinced there was something good and logical Former Zurich teacher dies Nesbitt Woods a former teacher in Zurich district passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto on April 20.

Veterinarians are' using it more and more in the treatment of some diseases in horses. . The main purpose is to reduce pain. It is very ef- fective in easing pain of migra ne and tension headaches. Acupuncture has helped people with diets, also smoking. The Medical profession will not always accept. new treatments and some pass it off as wit- chcraft. Accupuncture can't be guaranteed 80 percent for pain -15 to 20 percent doesn't work and acupuncture works in a majority of cases; It gets people off -drugs which ma make them addicts. Dr: Brady men- tioned the different points where the needle is placed. Acupuncture isn't a cure – It just relieves pain and symptons. At the present time, acupuncture is not covered by OHIP.
