Those tak- ing part were Rev. Jenkins of Gorrie, Rev. Robert Armstrong of St.' Andrew's Presbyterian Church; Rev. Barry Passmore, Wingham United Church; Rev. Keith Stokes of Blyth and Rev.

Guest preacher for the'ser- vice was Rev. Derwyn D. Jones, rector of St. James' Church, London, who stated that we live in a changing ,world, one which has altered more in the past, five years than in the pre- vious 100. ."The Chu rch , ' he said, "is no longer the favored darling of society. " Mr. Jones express- ed his belief that it is a situa- tion which should be welcom- ed, for.now Christians must face their duty honestly and serve with diligeQce. Basis of ,his later remarks/ was that the people of the parish are as ' much involved in the Christian ministry as the rector. Special music by the choir, under the direction of Mrs. G. L. Davidson, organist, was the anthem "Our Father, Our Heavenly King. " A reception was held in the parish room following the ser- vice, at which time members . .of the congregation and the community at large had. an op- portunity to meet Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorn and welcome them to town.

Seaforth asks for standard sentences At its meeting .on Monday evening the Wingham to w n council heard a letter from the council of the Town of Seaforth which asked for support of a resolution. Disturbed by two serious outbreaks of violence in that community in recent weeks, the Seaforth body has originat- ed a resolution which would ask for the Ontario government to. ..establish a uniform schedule of penalties for all crimes and. misdemeanors of a similar na- ture. Although the resolution did not state as much specifically, it was evident that basislfor the request lies in the fa ct that' o some accused. persons haveg emerged after charges with very light sentences. The resolu- tion's preamble referred to the fact that such inequalities are hard on the morale of the police officers and there is a cone - quent loss of, efficiency in po- lice forces. Several Wingham councillors expressed the thought that the resolution would be ineffective, but it was approved on general principles. • --Mrs,. -Mrs.' Mary Galbraith and Miss Olive Currie returned home on Saturday after spend- ing a few days last week with Mrs. Elgin Currie in Toronto.

By-law makes local taxes. payable twice each year Wiri-gham town council pass- ed a by-law on Monday even ing.which will require taxpay- ers in the town to pay their • , taxes on 'a twice -a -year basis Mrs. Hill has 93rd birthday BELGRAV E- - Miss Rebecca Hill of Huronview, Clinton, celebrated her 93rd birthday on Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Rinn and John. Those attending the celebra- tion were Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Angus of Flushing, Michigan, Ars. Gladys Rock and Bruce, Mr. and Mrs. Elvey Rock, Jo- anne and Jennifer of Monkton, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Rock and Janette of Walton, Mr. Cecil Bowman of Staffa and M i ss Janet Adams of Blyth. rather than by the 15th of No- vember as has been the case for many years past. The change, which will re- quire payment of 50% by June 15, has been made necessary because the municipality is the tax collector for the Hu r o n County Board of Education and the Perth- Huron Separate School Board. These bodies cannot wait until the year end for lo- cal revenues and so the need for the six - month terms of col- lection. Under the conditions of the by-law local taxes will be pay- able on June 15th and Novem- ber 15th, with a penalty of 2/3 of one per cent for each month in default. A discount of 8% will be allowed on the taxes for the last half of the year if the entire year's payment is made by June 15th. 1as action has ever been taken be- cause the appropriate govern- ment departments will not share in the cost. Within recent months the ; combined objedtions of citizen: and councillors. have led to coir sideration of the town handling the project without government. aid. The plan suggested by the Department of Transport calls for six traffic lights at the sev- eral entrances to the inter- section and designation of Di - 'agonal Road from Josephine to Centre as a one-way street, traffic to flow in a south-east- erly direction only. There was considerable dis- cussion about the effect the one-way regulation would have on truck traffic to the rear of stores on Josephine Street. Clerk William Renwick re- portedthat he had submitted a copy of the plan and the list of required equipment to a firm of suppliers with a request for estimates. No decision will be made until total cost is avail- able. Falls from bike Kenneth Noble, 23, of Kitch- ener,' was treated at the Wing - ham and District Hospital on Friday evening for injuries he sustained when he fell from a racing bicycle at his father's . home at Auburn.
