THE PURPOSE OF THE C. P.& T. COMMITTEE For a number of years the Odd - fellow and Rebekah Orders in On- tario have been striving to find an objective in its benevolent work, appropriate to its teachings and serving a definite need—one of which is that of relieving the dis- tressed. Also to co-ordinate the work of the various branches of the Order, so that the full benefit of the cumulative effect would be de- rived. As a result, -in 1947, a C.P. and T.(Cancer, Polio and Tubercu- losis) central committee was formed and following close on this, all. branches of the Oddfellow and Re- bekah Orders throughout Ontario formed local C. P, and T. Commit- tees, Since that time these various committees have sponsored events to raise money for the fund. Money raised is utilized, for the greater part, in the communities where raised but some portion of this money is available to help meet a wider need, such as might arise in the event of an epidemic or disaster (such as the recent European flood) or for the purpose of assisting in re- search or other preventive work. It is not only members of either or- ganization who receive the benefits or assistance, but anyone in the community regardless of race, color or creed.. Also, it is not only cancer, polio, or t.b. victims who receive assist- ance, but those in financial need or suffering from any other disease. All cases brought to the attention of the C.P. and T. Committee are in- vestigated before being assisted. To date the local C.P. and T. Committee have raised' considerable money, much of which has been used locally in giving financial as- sistance, and in the purchase of a hospital bed and three wheel -chairs, one of -which has been donated to the Scott Memorial Hospital. The bed and two remaining chairs are out on loan almost continuously with no charge attached. The local committee extend an in- vitation to the public to assist in this worthy cause by attending money -raising events such as the euchre they are sponsoring this Friday evening, March 13 in the I:O.O,F.

The topic was "Equality in Education". Tn our community the children have as good an opportunity for educa- tion in the basic subjects as city children, Some of our pupils are transported by bus to town schools and the other neighboring rural schools are fortunate in having good teachers. But we believe the major- ity of city pupils have the ad- vantage in art, music, domestic sci- ence and manual training. The majority in our g r o u p thought the rural schools are now fairly well equipped and salaries very, good. Our teachers speak more of the heavy enrolment with many new Canadaians who are not famil- iar with the language, This makes the work harder for the teacher. The scin'city of suitable boarding houses is one chief objection to tak- ing a rural school. 'Winner's in progressive euchre were; most games, Mrs. Joe Bab. cock, Don Buchanan; lobe hands, Ibbs. Wes Hoggart, Wes Hoggart; consolation, Mrs. Oliver Anderson, Laurence Taylor. Mrs. Harvey Tay, for invited the group to her borne tor the next meeting.
