Mrs. Victor Emerson gave a
•talk, her subject being "Where
Did Our Quiet Sunday Go?" In
1886 some shift workers, rail-
road men, preferred not to.work
on Sunday and appealed to the
General Assembly of the Pres-
byterian Church because there
was no law to protect them
from having t� work every day
of.the week. Two years later
the 'Presbyterians enlisted the
help of the Methodists, Angli-
cans and Baptists,and formed
the Lord's Day Alliance.
By.1906 the Federal Lord's
Day Act was passed that work-
ers must hay ne day a week
free,, unless di 'r work involv-
ed "necessity or works of mercy:
Today the Lord's Day Alliance
can't guarantee to keep Sunday
as a day of rest, but can say it
is prepared to recommend it.
and give reasons- for it. °
In Nova Scotia church mem-
bers attend Sunday morning
service, have a good hot dinner
.and in the afternoon go for a
drive in the country. -If they
live in Vancouver they may
hitch the boat trailer, to the
car. and with their youngsters
enjoy a day on the water. In
Newfoundland there has been
little protest about movies,
sports and liquor available on
Sunday and two paper mills
have government approval for"
Sunday operations. In Alberta
golf courses and picnic areas
are packed on Sundays in sum-
mer with skiing and snowmo-
biling in' the winter.
`More good roads in Canada •
and more cars meant week -end
trips for :people who used. to
spend. quiet Sundays because
they had* no choice. .

On January 14th the Senior
Basketball Mustangs hosted .the -
Listowel Seniors. We had a lot
of trouble in the first quarter, •
.falling behind 16-11. As the •
game progressed we slowly
built a small lead, ending the
first half ahead 23-20. Neither
team could do much that was
constructive $nj the second half
but Wingham carne, our orL,the
top of a 40-30 score. Doug
Wheeler was -the high scorer'
with eleven points.
' For the first time in many
years the farmers from F. E.
Madill showed the city slickers
in Stratford how to play senior
basketball, on January 17. The
city boys were confident going
into the game, while/we knew
we had to play an outstanding
game. We jumped into an
early lead after starting poorly.
Our fast break made 24 points
in the first quarter while Strat-
ford hit from the outside to get
15 points. The second quarter
slowed down and we took a
30-21 lead at half time.
The Stratford team started
pouring in the points until the
score was 35-31 at one time
and things, looked bad for Wing -
ham. However, great rebound-
ing by Doug. Wheeler, Jim Hen-
derson, Dave Eadie and Ken
Skinn, °and cool-headed ball
handling by Monty Temple- •
man kept our slim lead. The
whole team stuck together and
finished the game excellently.
Doug Mowbray had a great
chance to score a basket in the
dying minutes but upon missing,
. dug the ball away from an op-
ponent to,score and retain our
lead at 55-62- , which was the
final score.
