The architect showed a break- down of costs for various areas of the 'basement and main floor of the building, indicating adequate space for the purpose for .which the building was acquired. a-, ceiving approval from the mayor and councillors, Mr. Garratt said . he would now prepare detailed working drawings so tenders could be called. Emphasis was put on. the fact that this would be open to any contractor, loal or otherwise, b'ut a 'completion date of May 31 would be essential. It is expected that tenders will be called by the.end of February and the work generally will con- sist of a new heating system, re- wiring, plumbing and general carpentry concerning structural changes..

With her are Mrs. `Sara Anstett, Miss Annie McKinnon and Mrs. John Moir. When the League was created ° 50 years ago, its one purpose was to serve God and Canada and we should remember we were all placed on earth for a purpose but sometimes members oror- ganizations are afraid to do their own thing." Mrs. Howard said that as times change, people move to other , places and change their living habits,- but the morality .of life .must never change. Living up to the purpose of the CWL means that one should be God's instru- ment of peace and love, working' to help others. "If we feel we have to go to mass, then don't go, for this is the wrong attitude. Attendance is a chance to pause and offer gifts to God- and refresh our strength." 'Mrs. Howard also questioned if the Commandments are relevant today, relating her comments to stealing and divorce and abor- tion. "Thou shalt not kill is a Commandment but many today ignore its meaning and condone abortion." The speaker em- phasized that many non-Catho- • tics do not believe in abortion then quoted statistics indicating the number of therapeutic abor- tions, performed in one London hospital. Mrs. Howard also dwelt on the problem of drugs, and described the work done at Chino House, also of the organization Birth- right which helps pregnant girls. She told her audience that the age group for alcoholism is dropping and even older teenagers are among the alcoholics. The CWL is good at raising and handling money, but raising money is not the whole answer... Will we as Christians turn our backs on these -needs or come for- ward to help? This is the real challenge' which members of the .CWL have to acceptosaid Mrs. - Howard. The speaker was introduced -by Mrs. Alf Lockridge who said Mrs. Howard had been a merhber of the CWL for 21 )years. The ap- preciation of the group was ex- pressed • •by Mrs. Charles O'Malley who presented Mrs. Howard with a gift. • Historic Occasion All members wore badges with the CWL crest and candles and bronze and yellow fl"owers decorated the head ‘0, le.

At a meeting of the group last week, it was decided that the members would seek to have no play started before 1 p.m. To il- lustrate' this, one minister *told how several regular attenders of Sunday School had to miss be- cause of a hockey commitment at 11:15 Should.a starting time of 1 p.m. -be-adopted; -honk .and baseball tournaments at the weekend would have to r.vise their sched- ules. Most members of the Minister- ial Association felt that they, as individuals, should not make the decision, preferring to place the question before their respective church boards with the thought that briefs might be prepared for submission to the Wingham Rec- reation Commission for consider ation.
