These girls who have worked at the hospital for 50 hours as teenage volunteers will receive their caps, to be presented by Mrs. Margaret Coventry, president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Clinton Public Hospital, and Mrs. Barbara Hicks, who organized this group 'last Spring. Of the 36 volunteers, four have put in 50 hours, the requirement for a cap. Their work has. been much ap- preciated by the Hospital staff; the role of volunteers becomes even more im- portant in these days of restraint in hospital furl'ding. The public is welcome to attend this ceremony, a first for Clinton. The magazine convener is appealing for recent magazines - no older than September issues. These can be left at the hospital waiting room. Mrs. Helen Davies, past president of the Auxiliary, is heading up the nominating committee for 1978.

Epsilon sorority studies queens Xi Epsilon Beta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi had its November 8th meeting at the home of Audrey Kemp. The meeting began with the opening ritual followed by the roll call question, "Name .a monarch you particularly admire and tell why." Queen Elizabeth II was the most popular choice for her grace and tact in performing her duties. A letter was read from an Exeter Sorority Chapter telling members about a Ontario Street UCW hear of children's fund On Tuesday, November 8, the Ontario Street UCW had an old fashioned pot luck supper and later were en- tertained by the musical George Turner family and guest speaker Frank Whilsmith. Following' the meal which offered turkey, ham, meat loaf, casseroles of scalloped potatoes, pastas and rice along with relishes and salads of every description, a dessert table laden with cookies, squares, warm apple pies, raisin pies' and lemon chiffon and tea or coffee, the ladies relaxed to hear the guest speaker. Mr. Whilsmith is the national director of the Christian Children's Fund of Canada. After explaining where and liow the money is spent for the foster children, he continued with a fast moving commentary and movies taken in many lands. The fund provides or- phanages for the very 'young, abandoned children and homes.. for school-age children, some orphans and some from families who are unable to care for their own. The children receive their physical needs aid medical needs along with education and religious training. The pictures were from several 'countries including Jamaica, Korea, India and Hong Kong. The ladies saw the germ - infested polluted cess pools. The undernourished children living in one room huts, going through garbage in search for a morsel of food in all the dirt and squalor. Everyone must have thought back to the food that was in front of them a short time before, and the problem was to make a choice and how different these children looked, compared to the two smiling Turner children that had just entertained earlier. The women were thankful that the fund provides_ for at least a few of these children and through the pictures it was seen how they developed and in a short time were as beautiful as the ladies' own. Mr. Whilsmith's presen- ' tation was interesting and some good humour was in- terspersed throughout his talk. Following his presentation and the musical numbers played by the Turners the women held a short business meeting with Mrs. ' Cecil Elliott in charge.

The Handel's Messiah coming- Handel's Messiah will be performed by the London Symphony Orchestra Saturday, December 17 in North Street United Church. This concert is being brought to Goderich by the Goderich Rotary Club through the generous support of the Sully Foundation. The Messiah, perhaps Handel's most famous work, is being presented in the North Street United Church where both the seating and the acoustics are much superior to the facilities at Goderich District Collegiate Institute where the remaining two concerts of the season will be held. "We . believe the church setting is most appropriate for the season," said Dan Murphy, chairman of the Rotary Symphony Com- mittee. Conductor for this program will be Brian Jackson, assistant conductor of the London Symphany Orchestra. A native of Cor- nwall, England, Jackson has studied piano, flute, viola, organ, horn and timpani. Whife attending Oxford University on an organ scholarship, he was the conductor of the college choir, orchestra and the University Opera Club. He spent three years as .music producer of the BBC before corning to Canada in 1968. He was conductor of the Peterborough Symphany Orchestra and director of' a professional choir and chamber • orchestra at Erskine and American Church in Montreal. He was also assistant conduqp. of Montreal's Elgar Choir. In 1975, Jackson went to Detmold, Germany on a Canada Council grant to study opera conducting.

Subscriptions are on sale for the 1977-78 season. Dan Murphy reports that of 150 subscribers for last year's series of concerts, almost all have resubscribed for the new season. That represents about 450 people, Murphy said. However, more sub- scribers are welcomed. "The family ticket is a tremendous bargain," Murphy added. "At $20, the third ticket in the family only costs $2 for the three -concert season and all others are free." This year, the cost of the bringing the London Sym- phony to Goderich will be $5,000 and Murphy is quick to point out that without the support of the Sully Foun- dation, the symphony season in Goderich would not likely be possible. social committee will look after the dinner.
