of
he regular monthly
meeting of the Women's
Missionary Prayer Group, of
Bayfield Baptist Church was
held in the Sunday School
room of the Church on
Tuesday night with the
President, Mrs. Phyllis
Nicholson in charge.
The meeting opened with a
0 igimn followed with prayer
by Janet Talbot. The
minutes were read and
adopted and some business
taken care of.
,It was announced that Mr.
and Mrs. Jameson,
missionaries from Jamaica,
will be speaking at the church
service on Sunday, November
20. and Miss Olive Brittain
home from India, will be in
Bayfield the week of
November 15th and will be
speaking at the Wednesday
Evening Prayer and Bible
Study time. We ask that
everyone will remember
these dates as these will both
be very interesting meetings,
everyone is welcome.
After the Circle of Prayer,
,.•a very thought provoking
message was presented by
Mrs.Mina Talbot, using as
her topic "more things are
wrought by Prayer than this
world dreams of". She
reminded that prayer should
be - 1. for the Quickening of
the Holy Spirit within. 2. for
faith in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. 3. for the
tearing down of all evil. 4.
3 - claim all the promises of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Mrs. Surekha Kalokhe, of
Clinton, a native of India,
gave a demonstration of a
"Sari" (a native costume
v
•
t
worn by the women of India),
and how they are arranged
just so and really look
beautiful. She had several to
show and some are made of
pure silk, and others trimmed
with 10 carat gold. These of
course were worn for special
occasions such as weddings.
She also explained some of
their native customs.
She asked for a model and
showed Dianna Harrison how
this very difficult costume
was put on, and made it look
rated
easy, but I'm sure if this
reporter h'adto don it on
Sunday morning before
Sunday School, she'd have to
rise considerably earlier.
Mrs. Dianna Harrison was
presented with a card and gift
in congratulations of the safe
arrival of their lovely baby
boy,
Mrs. Mary Keys and her
daughter Shirley served a
beautiful lunch, of homemade
cake with ice cream, tea and
coffee.
Baptist minister resigns
The Sunday Services �f the
Bayfield Baptist Church were
well attended with Pastor
Brian Harrison in charge. In
the morning service he took
his text from the Book of
Titus, verses five and six of
chapter three. He reminded
the congregation that no one
can merit the Grace of God or
ever reach Heaven through
works, only the Lord Jesus
Christ through His death and
Resurrection can make the
Way.
It is with deep regret that
• -•
the members and adherents
of the Bayfield Baptist
Church have accepted the
resignation of Rev. Brian
Harrison, who has been
serving this church for the
past two years.
He will be returning to the
Detroit area, where he will be
an assistant pastor and will
continue his studies there.
While they will be greatly
missed, everyone realizes
they are answering God's
call.

Dear Editor:
Some weeks ago I was
informed of the passing of Air
Vice Marshal A. F. Lang
(Ret'd) in California. A -V -M
Lang came from England in
1941 to establish the radar
station at Clinton, Ontario.
The enclosed Press clip-
pings from The Times,
London, England, will be of
special interest to area
residents who were
acquainted with this Royal
Air Officer in the 1940's.
Mrs. Edith Baker
Seaforth
"FROM THE TIMES, July
,7, 1977
"Air Vice -Marshal Albert
Frank Lang, CB, MBE, AFC
who died on June 20 at Santa
Barbara, California, at the
age of 82, was Director of
Signals, Air Commission,
Washington, 1941-45, and
subsequently until his
retirement in 1946 Controller
of Signals Equipment, British
Air Commission in the Capitol
City.
"Although he had a long
and important connection
with RAF Signals having
been Chief Signals Officer at
Fighter Command and
Coastal Command he was an
active flier.
"Enlisting as a rifleman in
1912 in the 9th London
Regiment, he transferred as
an air mechanic to the RFC,
was commissioned in 1916
and later served in France in
the First World War with 59
Squadron. In 1919 he was on
•
the North Russia Expedition
in the seaplane carrier
Pegasus and was made MBE.
Subsequently, he attended a
flying boat course at Calshot
and spent some time in`
squadrons equipped with
these aircraft. He was made
CB in 1946.
"FROM THE TIMES, July
13, 1977.
"Group Captain Adrian
Cocks writes:
"There is, I think, one if not
the most important points in
Air Vice -Marshall Lang's
career which has not been
mentioned in your obituary
notice, namely his foresight
and determination to see a
radar training school
established somewhere
outside Britain during the last
war.
"Early in 1941, we had only
two , such schools in this
country, both of only modest
size, both liable to bombing
and at a tiine when radar was
playing an increasingly vital
part in our war effort, both on
the ground and in the air.
Lang, at that time a Group
Captain, was DD of S4 at Air
Ministry. Soon after I had
been posted to. his staff in
early 1941 he came -into the
office one evening and
pointing ' a finger at me, he
said: "I'm off to Canada next
week and , you're coming,
too."
"We went. Within 48 hours
of disembarking at Montreal,
a site for the school had been
chosen in Western Ontario
and within 72 hours, the
contract had been let for the
building of a radar school, to
train RCAF personnel. Within
10 weeks, the installation of
radar equipment from the
United Kingdom began, the
permanent staff of the school
being a mixture of RAF and
RCAF, and within 14 weeks
training began.
"It was again typical of
Lang's foresight that as soon
as the radar equipment was
installed at Clinton, Ontario,
he arranged in Washington
for batches of personnel from
all branches of the United
States armed forces to be sent
to .Clinton (where I was the
first Station Commander) for
short radar courses, at a time
when the USA had not yet
entered the war and had
negligible radar training
facilities of their own.
"During this early phase, it
was my duty to make oc-
casional visits to Lang in his
Signals Directorate at BAC
Washington, where he had, as
his Personal Assistant, a
young WAAF' officer. I
married her. Lang came up
from Washington a number of
times to visit "his" school,
the last time being the oc-
casion of my farewell dinner
after two years of head-
mastership. I believe that, in
the days of flying boats, Lang
successfully led a flight or
squadron all the way to
Singapore and back, a feat of
no mean distinction.
"He leaves a widow and one
daughter."
