The Synod of Hamilton and Exactly 40 years ago, his London of The Presbyterian father, the late Rev. Dr. Church in Canada, meeting in Charles H. MacDonald of Windsor last week elected the Lucknow, occupied the same Rev. Dr. R. Douglas office. Within minutes of MacDonald of Port Elgin as yesterday's installation, the moderator. sister of the moderator, Mrs. Alvin Mundell of Wroxeter, was given a standing ovation and welcomed to the court. As Synodical president of the Women's Missionary Society, Mrs. Mundell reported that one third of all .financial support (W.M.S.) id central and western Canada during 1976 was raised. within the Hamilton -London area. Host congregation for the Synod is Paulin Memorial Church in suburban Windsor, one ' of seven Presbyterian churches in the area. Now twenty-five years old, Paulin is composed of strikingly modern facilities and a 600 member congregation. The Rev. Cedric Pettigrew, called from Nova Scotia two years ago, isthe third minister to serve the congregation. A massed choir from area Presbyterian churches, organ- and piano, provided r' contemporary music for the traditional communion service at which the moderator of the 'General Assembly' the Rev. DeCourcy H. Rayner delivered the sermon. A memorial service was held for the 9 ministers ' and 41 ruling elders' of synod who f. passed away during the past .12 months. The Rev. Iain Nicol of Knox College, Toronto, asked members to consider the admission of children to the Sacramental Table, thus challenging the traditional position of the Presbyterian .Church in Canada that participation -in the Lord's Supper must be' preceded by a formal profession of faith. Members questioned the ability of children to "discern the Lord's body", with fears expressed that the church over intellectualizes the Holy Communion. The role of church discipline was raised. Greater. use of the New Testament "Love Feast" was suggested. The debate it was reported will be continued at the next General Assembly to 'be held in McNab Street Presbyterian Church, Hamilton, June 4 - 10th, 1978. From Up Here by Shelley McPhee For years, well other than the past few, I've always thought of myse,lf as a kid when it comes to Halloween. I grew up on the receiving end of the candy line, and dressed up in some costume that I never liked, mostly because I always had to be a bum or a fat lady while ,all my other friends seemed to be ravishing gypsies or delicate princesses.• But for the first time in my memory of Halloween, my role this year in the annual event changed and I went from the receiving line to the giving line, with my little basket of marshmallow treats, meeting nervous and shy youngsters at the door. I wasn't impressed with my first Halloween, being the victim of threatening "trick or treat" cries add staring into nylon distorted faces of some neighbourhood kid. It made me feel old,-br at least older, and vulnerable to the kids banging at my door and demanding treats. Being an unexperienced Halloween giver, I was a little unsure of how I should act and what goodkes I should have waiting for my ghoulish friends. I wasn't really too keen on the idea of giving them candy bars, carmels or chewing gum and apples are considered boring by some—kids and suspicious by concerned. parents. I didn't know how big a supply of goodies I should get and could only think of eating all the leftovers for the next three'months. Aaaargh'. I didn't want to get anything crummy in case they decided to pay me back with some mean trick, and I didn't Want to give them anything too good or else I presumed I'd have all their buddies knocking on my door all night. ' After making a suitable choice of candy and having a standby substitute, apples in the fridge, I prepared myself for an evening of door answering. • Yet the whole thing gave me an uncomfortable feeling. What do you say .to Spiderman or Dracula when they come knocking at your door? For some reason I could think of nothing to say to these masked youngsters, other than hello and goodbye. And how do you ration out your goodies? The bags they hold out for you are so huge and the candies I put in barely seemed to make any difference. Then what about the moment of silence after the treats have been given and we stare at each other for a moment? Are they saying to themsleves, "Is that all. lady?" Then they run off giggling and whispering as though' they're really putting something over on .me. I ran in the other direction to the window just to make sure they haven't done anything to my car or my windows. Perhaps next year I'll be less of a novice at this event and have a little more control and confidence during Halloween ritual's. But this year, I felt like ditching my candy, digging out my dad's rubber boots and old overcoat and my mum's old nylons, and being on the receiving line again.

CLINT 1 invested money to become a distributor and was promised "secured locations," but they are a great distance from my home and they don't want the goods in their stores. I think I've been had, can 1 do anything? It's doubtful! Companies pushing this type of "distributorship" usually urge investors to sign, con- tracts on the spot. Our advice is that NOTHING should be signed until you'vd had time to do some checking. This can be done through your nearest Better Business Bureau or Consumers Protection Bureau. Contact a lawyer and have him explain the terms of the contract, and never ever sign until you are familiar with ALL the implications. Make sure there is a demand for the product and don't fall for promises of "small in- vestment with big returns."

What can 1 do to get my table or recover my deposit? Unfortunately you, did not set a . specific date for delivery. Now you can do nothing but wait until more tables have been shipped to the store. If you had set a certain date then you could sue for delivery and if the store failed to produce then they would have had to give you your deposit back plus the dif- ference between their sale price, and the price you would have to pay at another store to get the same table-.

Food plans can be both good and bad because as food 'Costs increase more unethical dealers seem to appear, giving the entire, industry a bad name. Make sure you understand exactly what you're getting before signing any food. contract. Be sure you know the cuts and grades of meat you are getting, as well as the quality and quantity of groceries, plus the itemized co sts. Be suspicious of mem- bership, (service and handling charges) which could cost several hundreds of dollars for a six-month period. Some food plans operate on a premise of selling you a freezer. This gives the operator even more profit because the cost of the ap- pliance is often inflated. Ball & Match LTD. HOME FURNISHINGS III FLOOR COVERINGS ' CARPETING ,HOIN FURNISHINGS
