Speaker issue
on over-the-counter
A representative of the Public
Awareness Program of Super X
Drugs, Bob Pritchard of Toronto,
gave an informative slide presen-
tation and address concerning
prescription and over--the-counter
drug use when the March meeting of
J.O.X. Unlimited was held. in St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
Ontario has the highest per capita
drug consumption of anywhere in
the world. In view of this rather
alarming statistic, he urged con-
sumers to ask questions of their
doctors and pharmacists concerning
prescribed medications. Service and
information are important parts of
the pharmacist's role so one should
not hesitate to ask for his expert
advice. One should patronize the
same pharmacy, if possible, to
ensure the pharmacists has an ac-
curate profile regarding health
history and medications being used.
The speaker also cautioned against
the ever-increasing rise of over-the-
counter drugs and advised con-
sumers to beware of possible drug
interactions.
Shirley McKague thanked Mr.

Mrs. Raynard of Lucknow was t
pianist. Joyce Bain thanked the

A Bible study was led by Mai
Campbell of Wingham. Basing t h
study on I Corinthians, chapter 15
Mgrs. Campbell spoke of the proof
promise and power of the
resurrection of Jesus. The book o
Corinthians was written by Paul
only 20 years after Jesus
resurrection, a fact that adds to i
authenticity. It would be difficult for
Paul to write lies when he ' kne
there were eye witnesses still alive
who would be readingthe account:
Further proof of the resurrection
lies in the fact that the previously -
timid disciples willingly told of His
resurrection, even if.it meant death
for them. People don't die for a lie.
Jesus' resurrection fulfilled the
scriptural promises revealing Him
_ ,as the Son of God. As well, His
resurrection promises believers that
just as He lived again, so shall they.
Mrs. Campbell closed the meeting
with prayer.

WROXETER--Rev. Brenda
Shipton of the Anglican churches of
Gorrie and Fordwich was the guest
speaker at the April meeting of the
Wroxeter United Church Women.
She was introduced by Mrs. Sandra
Edgar and spoke on her work in the
city of Ibadan at St. Mary's School in
Nigeria, Africa.
Miss Shipton told of her op-
portunity to go to Nigeria to gain
knowledge and experience in the
ministry. ' She was assigned to St.
Mary's School, affiliated with the
church in the city of Ibadan. It is a
large ,city and there are Christian
and Moslem . religions working
together in the same districts. Most
people can speak English; it is
taught in the schools, starting in the
early grades. Education is free now
and the pupils finishing the uppr
grades are older. Music plays an
important part in their lives and
native dances express their joys and
sorrows.
• ...Some of the churches are very
large and old . and the architecture
reflects , the European influence of
the different missionaries who came
to work among the people. As many
as 1,000 people would come to one
church service and traditional
services for Thanksgiving were held
every fall. Each family tithed, in the
form of food or money. During the
services the congregation danced to
the front ef the church and danced.
back to their; seats; services often
lasted . many hours. Their smiling
faces told the joy religion brought to
their lives. . .
In the schools the :girls were
taught how to take their place in life

The people have a happy outlook on
life - even though there is a great
contrast between rich and poor.
Many buildings are very primitive.
It is a tropical country and the day
„started early, with siesta in the
afternoon during the heat of the day.
Many church activities took place in
the evening and they enjoyed the
social time together.
Miss Shipton took the ladies on a
wonderful trip with her pictures,
artifacts and commentary. She
provided a better insight into her life
as a lay minister in Nigeria. Mrs.
Eileen Hamilton, on behalf of the
ladies, thanked Miss Shipton and
presented her with a gift.
The Easter story was the theme
used for the worship. Mrs. Edgar
gave the call to worship with an
Faster verse and all sang an.Eastep
hymn. The scripture verses from the
27th chapter of St",4Matthew's Gospel
rekindled faith in the events of the
Easter ,season so long ago. A poem
entitled ``Palm Sunday" was read
by Mrs. Dorothy_ McGee who then
gave a meditation, "How Wonderful
the Resurrection" and led in an
Easter` prayer. The hymn, "He
Lives", was sung and Mrs. Edgar
read an Easter poem to end the
worship.
Mrs. Hamilton opened the
business portion with a reading,
"What Spring Means". Mrs. Joy
Wylie read the minutes,
correspondence and thank -you
notes. Mrs. Edgar gave a good
inahcial report on the renovations
in the clxh hall. To the members
of the church who worked so hard to
make such wonderful improvements
or all to enjoy, the members of the
CW say "Thank you". Where there
a will to achieve, much is gained.
Coming events were noted and
uture projects discussed. Roll call
