active group which could
be counted on to help
when work was to be done
or money raised. At the
December meeting of the
Ladies' Aid in 1901, it was
decided to form a
Missionary Auxiliary but
this was not done until
September 1903.
In her report, Mrs.
Feagan says that one can
see that transportation
had much to do with
church location. Tran-
sportation has advanced
from early days of set-
tlement in this territory
with "classmeeting"
places numerous and
fairly close together
because most people had
to walk past the horses
and buggy days when
folks drove and went
further away to the
church of their choice
until now when it was
possible with modern
ways of travel to attend
church many miles from
home if desired. In
keeping with tran-
sportation, Mrs. Feagan
says it was interesting to
read in early WMS
minutes that a committee
was appointed to look
after the "rigs" for the
picnic at Bayfield.
In 1962, when the
organization of the
United Church Women
came into being and took
the place of WMS and
Ladies' Aid, it was
deemed necessary to
discontinue the organized
classes, namely Eureka,
Victoria helpers and
Willing Workers. Each of
these classes was
originally a Sunday
School class which
continued as such but
held a monthly meeting
with a socialtime for
members.

Luxaclad, the sidiyou yng system can apply,
and other types of siding.
This is a jobyou will onlydo once, so why -not --do it
right? Here's why Luxaclad is the logical choice.
Luxaclad* siding features the
exclusive joint mould.
Unlike other types of siding, aluminum, vinyl or
wood, Luxaclad.,,iding sections lock togetht
with a "snap'; thanks to the unique Lutac lad
joint mould. There's no need for special tools
or cons"plicated fitting tt'c hniclues to 'achieve
a perfect tit everytime.
• Luxaclad* comes with a wide
range of problem solving
accessories.
The Luxaclad system IS d complete. One. Whether
you need accessories for around windows and
doors, starter strips, inside and outside lineal
corner trims, joint moulds, window trines.
You name it and Luxac fad has the part. And every
accessory is available in the colour of the
Luxaclad horizontal siding you choose. Some •
other sidings have trim made of a different
material making an exact colour match virtually.
impossible.
Luxaclad* always looks like it
was installed by a pro.
Because Luxaclad siding was designed especially
tor the do-it-yourselfer, It allows a wide Margin
tor error and still looks like a million. No nails
showing, it's always straight and perfectly aligned
thanks to the interlocking feature; it cuts neatly
with the simplest tools and the joints.dre hidden
.by our the.
joint mould.
Luxaclad* siding comes with
a bonded backerboard.
Luxaclad siding is easier to handle and work
with because it teatures a rigid bonded hacker -
board. It is much lighter.than hardboard, much
easier to handle thanlunhacked alurilinum
siding. It cuts with a handsaw, (believe it or not)
resists denting, and of course the backerboard
adds valuable insulatii)n'to your home.

STEEPLE REMOVED
The original Victoria
Streeet United Church
building has a tall steeple
on the front facing Vic-
toria Street but this
steeple does not exist
today. It had to be
removed because it was
difficult to keep clean and
it was also struck by
lightening several times.
Although the exact date
of its removal is not
known, it is believed to
have been sometime
during the Reverend
Arthur J. McKaye's
pastorate from 1941-1944.
On December 8, 1968

Breckow had been a
member of the Methodist
Church which later
became the United

measured four feet by six
feet high and operated
from an organ keyboard.
