She expressed a wish that all share an experience in "Spiritual Growth", which was the theme of the world-wide program. Following her welcome the service continued with ladies from the various participating churches taking part: Mrs. R. Campbell from St. Andrew's, Mrs. S. Orien from Wingham United, Mrs. D. Farnell from St. Paul's, Mrs. Mahe and Mrs. Richard Campeau from Sacred Heart and Mrs. Iain Trainor representing the Salvation Army. Mrs. Trainor gave an excellent explanation of scripture from St. Luke's Gospel. She stressed how a Christian can share in Jesus' mission today, by preaching good news to the poor, proclaiming liberty to the captives, bringing sight to the blind and setting the oppressed free. Mrs. Campeau introduced the guest speaker, Sister Gerarda of the Sisters of St. Joseph, London. She described spiritual growth as `a way of life lived with God from day to day made meaningful when we allow God to talk to us Paynes celebrate 50th anniversary Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Payne of�.

She urged that all Christians `put ourselves in the palms of our hands and see if we are satisfied with the human being God made with all our weaknesses and limitations'. She said each must realize that God has a plan for his or her life and true happiness can come only as that plan is fulfilled. Sister Gerarda spoke of the importance of personal relationships, asking those in attendance if they have reached acceptance of themselves and have a good relationship with family and friends. "Are others better because of us?" she asked. The speaker told of her five and a half years of work as Associate Chaplain at Victoria Hospital and how she left an unfulfilling job with no prospect of another in sight. Yet- her actions led her to complete satisfaction and hap- piness in a new job where she has opportunity to lead many to God. Using her own life as an example she could tell the group of the importance of `reaching out in faith and trusting Him' to do what is best in each life. She closed her message with prayer and gave each a small "God Bless You" bookmark as a remembrance of her visit to Wingham. The ladies' choir led the singing of hymns under the direction of organist Mrs. Jack Brophy. Following the benediction by Mrs. Mahe, a social hour followed.

Teacher layoffs possible in fall A total of 11 fewer teachers will be needed in Huron County's 24 elementary and five secondary schools next year, due to declining enrolment. John Cochrane, Huron County Board of Education education director, reported at the board's Monday meeting that all but three or four positions deemed unnecessary will be met by natural attrition. Secondary school enrolment next year is expected to be 4,498, down from this year's 4,517. In elementary schools, enrolment is expected to be down to 7,028 from 7,112 this year. Which schools will be affected and which teachers may be laid off won't be decided until the board knows how many teachers plan to retire or resign.
