A bylaw will be presented to the hospital board to accept the group' § new title, "Auxiliary to the Clinton Public Hospital." The change involves the omittance of the word Women's from the group name. This change was also made at the provincial organization and with it, men will • now be welcomed to take part in the hospital group. Already many other auxiliaries have welcomed Men as members and they are performing many of the Volunteer services un- dertaken by the groups.. Along with this news, the auxiliary learned at their annual meeting on January 8, that 1978 was a very successful year for the local organization. Miss Kay Elliott, treasurer, reported that vanishing parties had raised $835; membership, $823; spring fair raffle, $503-; 'the penny sale, over $2,094. • Donations from many individuals and groups have been received and appreciated. A small profit of $180 was made in the tuck shop cart, one of the many patient service projects. The total amount raised in 1978 amounted to $5,648. This amount represents the efforts of many volunteer mem- bers, of many women who have helped in some way in all the projects and of individual groups and business people who gave_ donations or discounts. The auxiliary is gratified for all this assistance. During 1978, Mrs. Ruth Bond for the buying committee, reported the purchase of a Mayo Instrument Table for the emergency operating room; costing $450; a Spectrophometer for the use in the laboratory costing $1,200; a Pediatric ,Mist Tent with cooler, costing $1,200; and new tea pots and coffee pots, for use on patient, trays, costing $408. As well, the, auxiliary purchased two silver cups for the new year's twins in 1978 and two silver spoons as graduating gifts for the bursary winners. Bur- saries of $400 were awarded to nursing students. On Christmas Day the auxiliary gave a red rose in a vase to each patient and alsQ expressed the appreciation for the help given by staff members with a gift or a rose for their desks. The number of members reported was 666. Tray favors were provided on 11 different occasions by local groups and at Christmas, local representatives of the Eastern Star and the Kinettes worked with the auxiliary members in decorating the hospital. Other services provided for patients included a television, ' rental service, abook cart, magazine sub- scriptions and a collec- tion of recent magazines in the waiting morns. Sponsorship of the candy striper program under Barb Hicks has been very successful.,The worthwhile service now has the help of 34 teen volunteers.

(News -Record photo) CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1979—PAGE 9 Week of Prayer4 planned for area The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity has been held for a number of years in Canada. It provides an opportunity near the beginning of the year for.Christian people to consider some of the basic articles of faith which they hold in common and to share in worship. In many communities across Canada this week is observed with special ecumenical services. The recently reorganized Ministerial Association of Seaforth and Clinton is arranging to have two special services during the week. One service is to be held in each community and the people of the area are invited to attend both. It is hoped that this will be the beginning of an annual and growing event. The theme that will be used from coast to coast New officers for horticulture group The Horticultural Society held their business meeting Jan. 10 in the town hall. Mrs. Durst praised the executive for coming out on such a cold night after an "iffy" day. All reports were read with Dorothy Williams moving that reports be accepted, seconded by Viola Nelson.

Bess Fingland had the .most points at the rose show, while Ila Cudmore had most points at the Sugar and Spice.•• • from page 4 religious people who take my tongue-in-cheek remarks wide-eyed and write me earnestly, quoting scripture and verse, to outline my easy road to hell. Hello, hello! What's this? An unopened letter. Let's see. , Well, 'well, a cheque for just over $1,000. Dated November, 1977. I thought that the, old finances had gone a bit haywire in the last year. I hope they'll cash the blinking thing. There is some silly rule about not cashing cheques that are more than six m.onths old. Happened to me a few years ago.. Here's one • from Germany, and a card from Australia, and two from Texas and one fromHolland and a note from Dawson Creek, and another from Oregon. That's the summer Crowd, from Our Trip. Another note from Anne, a former student: "Why did Joan Engel get an A -plus on an essay, and I got an A, when I wrote them both?" Life, Anne. An old friend of mine, George McCowan, wrote an entire French exam for a friend at university, was caught in the act, kicked out, and is now a Hollywood director, with several ex- wives and a big income. No connection, but where there's larceny, there's loot. From Miriam Fisher, Milton: "God bless you for your invigorating August show. Marian Powell again took us on the year's fascinating bus trips, and' through the interesting meetings. Dorothy Williams told us how pleased she was over so many favorable reports from out-of- towners on the well cared for hanging pots. Mrs. Durst, in charge of the new Year Book, would appreciate any bits of interest that could be added, by Jan. 31: Mrs. Durst concluded the meeting, and thanked all for help given over her three years of presidency. Marian Powell extended the clubs thanks and ap- preciation in having Mrs. Durst as their leader. Mrs. Nelson took the column in this week's. Champion. It was more than Sugar& Spice, it was like a shot of adrenalin to my "wounded ego" that had been bruised badly in the last two years, since I turned 65." Thanks,, Miriam, I'm getting there. From a lady in Alliston, of 79: "Damned if I'll subscribe to the Alliston Herald again, since they drcipped your column. The readers write.. • from page 4 revealed him (Gad)". When one looks at the entire verse, the implications are quite different, and the verse clearly sets out the work and person of Jesus Christ. This verse points to the fact that Christ was the revelation of the Father, and because of Christ's relationship to the Father, He could reveal and declare the Heavenly Father. For this revelation,. Christ established the Church.

They are there only because God, by His infinite love, has reconciled Himself to them through the life, death and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a com- pany of men and women called together by the Holy Spirit. Those who have been called apart, are a new humanity, a new creation. They are people possessing and possessed by the mind of Christ, in whom no less tha Christ dwells.
