The morning session was given over to the study of the duties of the various officers of the WMS. 'Much interesting discussion re- vealed . the need for members to examine themselves as officers and as members and learn their duties as set forth in the haind- bdok. "Have you ever wondered what • isdone with.that.supply money?" To this question asked by the leaders, the members received such answers as: For resource personnel' it purchases supplies and equipment from slides, type - Writers, books etc. to toys. For missionaries overseas it may buy things that are hard to get such as tires for cars. On Indian reserves it may get playground equip- ment, or furnishings of various kinds at Fellowship House in Winnipeg or Tyndall House in Montreal. The afternoon hours were spent in learning how to conduct a Bible study using- the group method of study and then all assembling to discuss and share their findings. Some suggestions for creating greater interest are perhaps worth trying, e.g., group study so everyone can participate, in- formal seating in circles or semi- circles instead of in rigid rows, sometimes have work meetings, present two sides of a question to stimulate discussion. A book display had been set up, noonday and afternoon refresh- ments " were served, Christian fellowship flowed freely and this reporter the time was well spent. later system members re-elect WiIIiamEvans WHITECHURCH --- The 'mem- bers of the Whitechurch Water System held their spring meeting on Thursday evening of last week in the Community Memorial • Hall.

Guests were present from Teeswater, Belmore and Bluevale and were cordially welcomed by the presi- dent, Mrs. R. Armstrong, and Mrs. J. Aitchison. Mrs. Armstrong opened the meeting with invocation and prayer and a hymn- was sung: After the reading of the minutes, the secretary, Mrs. Gordon Wall, read a letter of thanks from the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital for a box of clothing received. Many calls on the sick and shut-, ins were reported by the mem- bers: The', scripture reading and meditations were taken by Mrs. Margaret Hastings. The scrip- tures were Luke 23:50-53 and Luke 24:1-6. In her meditations she spoke ofthe sadness and -despair of Christ's followers after the tragic events of Good Friday.

Many pockets of Arab Chris- tians or Nationals, are in that area and her work was chiefly devoted to helping them, • To the Christians there the Easter celebration is the most important event of the year and from Thursday night until Easter Sunday the last events of the life of Christ are relived. At St. Mark's Church in Jerusalem on Thursday night the scripture pas- sages relating to the Last Supper are read: From here a procession ,led by a man with a .lantern passes through the old walled city toward\ the Southern Wall; then along the Kidron Valley to the Garden of Gethsemane where the story of :Christ's betrayal is read. On Friday morning the pro- cession forms again at six in the morning and follows Christ's last walk to Calvary. Saturday IS a • quiet day but on Sunday is ' the joyous, triumphal story of " ohrist's resurrection and the wonderful meaning it has for all mankind. Miss Collar emliha= • sized the fact that the holy Spirit is given to all the world and to be able to take that message to all peoples is the most wonderful privilege in the world: Miss Collar .has been ,doing very effective work in preparing sets of English lessons which, when translated into Arabic, are distributed to teachers Of the Arab Christians. These are all accompanied by pictures which are used on flannelgraph back-' grounds. They tell of the life of Christ; His teachings and parables; the life of paul and his missionary work. Miss Collar is actively engaged in continuing her work on these while at her home here as the need for these is very great. Miss V. - MacLaughlin ex- pressed sincere thanks and ap- preciation to Miss Collar for her •vivid and interesting account of • her work there, and of the condi-. ' tions prevailing among the Arab Christians there. All who heard her were impressed 'by her deep interest in these people and her 'indefatigable work on their `behalf. The offering was received and the offertory prayer given by . G. Day. Mrs. Armstrong losed the meeting with prayer. Lunch was served and a social hour 'enjoyed by all.. Post Office issues stamps to aid fund for Olympics The Honourable Andre Ouellet, Postmaster General, announced last week that Olympic Action Stamps went on sale April 17. These stamps combine'a postage value with a surcharge which will be used to support the 1976 Sum- mer Olympic Games. It is the first time in Canada Post Office history that the semi -postal con- cept has been employed. "The purpose of the sur- charge," Mr. Ouellet said, "is to provide. Canadians with a simple, inexpensive way to 'support the Olympics on a voluntary and per- sonal basis. I would like to em phasize". he said. "that purchase of Olympic Action Stamps is strictly voluntary and regular stamp issues will always be available at our counters." The Action Stamps will be printed in denominations of 8 cents plus 2 cents, 10 cents plus 5 cents, and 15 cents plus 5 cents for domestic, continental and international mail. The graphic design of the Action Stamps is similar to the Olympic com- memorative stamps on gold and silver backgrounds issued Sep- tember 20, 1972. The Action Stamps will be smaller in size and feature an additional colour — bronze — to create three stamps corresponding with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded at the Olympic Games. The repetition of a graphic design in a smaller format is rare in Canadian philatelic history. Special legislation passed in 1973 enables the Post Office to issue the Olympic Action Stamps to help raise money for the 1976 Summer Games. For all general (non -philatelic) sales, the revenue produced through the surcharge portion, less promo- tion costs, will be used to support the Olympics, On philatelic sales, the entire revenue from Action Stamps and other Olympic Stamps, less pro- duction and sales costs, will go towards the Games. the Post Office will also make available other retail products with an Olympic theme such as a stamp b**, Olympic album and metal stamp reproductions. In all, the Post Office hopes to raise about $10 million' for the 1976 Olympic Games. Olympic Action Stamps should not be confused with Olympic commemoratives. The com- memoratives, such as those issued on September 20, 1973 and on March 22, 1974, do not carry a surcharge and are not Action Stamps. Unlike commemora- tives, the Olympic Action Stamps will remain on sale for up to a year until they are replaced by the next issues which will appear in 1975 and 1976. Receipts for in- come tax purposes will be issued to customers buying Action Stamps if the surcharge portion amounts to $5.00 or more. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The semi -postal stamp com- bines a postage value with a sur- charge for a _charity or cause. The Stamp usually shows two values separated by a plus Sign, the first value being postage, the second the surcharge. The stamps are usually sold at the sum of the two values but in some cases at several times face value. The first semi -postal was is- sued by Great Britain as a penny postal card in 1890 to com- memorate the, jubilee of penny postage. It was sold at sixpence with the excess going' to a fund for postal employees. The first coun- tries to follow Great Britain were New South Wales and Victoria, both issuing one penny and two ' 2 penny stamps for the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. Victoria's issue was sold with the assurance that' the money was for charity although the cause was not identified nor was the surtax indicated. The results were satisfactory and in 1900 Vic- toria and Queensland issued similar stamps in one penny and two pence values and sold them in shillings to raise money for the Boer War. Since 1900, none of the Aus- tralian states nor the succeeding Commonwealth have used semi - postal stamps to raise funds. Russia was the next country to use these stamps to provide funds for the orphans of soldiers killed in the Russo-Japanese War. In 1906 the Netherlands began an almost continuous line of semi- postals, the first to raise funds for charity, and later for such causes as the restoration of stained glass windows, support of Olympic teams and assistance to various societies. 'Roumania also issued thele stamps for charity in 1906 for aid to sports clubs, national defence, and various societies. The• first semi -postal issued in the Western Hemisphere was produced by Barbados in 1907 to provide aid for earthquake victims in King- ston, Jamaica. In 1913, Switzer- land began the "pro juventute" series, since 1915 issued annually. Switzerland now issues a second charity set each year and has oc- casionaI issues for special funds. In Europe during World War I, semi -postal issues were used to raise funds for the Red Cross and other war efforts. France has also issued stamps for non - charity groups to Wild monu- ments, tb aid music societies for national highways improvement and for such events as the 50th iversary of the Eiffel Tower. lgium has followed a similar pattern with issues for charity, the restoration of Orval Abbey and for monument dedications. Germany has also issued semi - postal stamps for similar pur- poses.
