AU the clothing sent from Howick was divided among five districts, I also did the dividing for this district last year, which gave me an insight into the needs of the peo- ple, and I can assure you, it was greatly needed last year, but much more so this year, as there was pract- ically no crop in this part and we had to buy feed to keep our stock alive. I am sure you people in Ont- ario must have given much more than you can really spare, but if you were here and see how well it is being used you would. feel repaid. The government is giving money for clothing and groceries but it is not nearly sufficient for the bare ne- cesities $50,00 a year for clothing is the largest amount given for aniy one family and of course if the fainly is small it is much less. We have neighbors near us who liave eight in the family, and in this cold country. where so many warm clothes are needed you can under- stand that $50..00. would barely buy stockings, shoes, and overshoes for that many for one year. Sc again we thank everyone for their efforts and sacrifice on our be- half. We are having very cold weather here, for the past ten days it has been `anywhere from 32 to 44 degrees below zero and Xmas morning it was 42 .below. May the :New Year bring you all Health and Happiness. Sincerely Mrs. R. C..' Hunt (nee Ethel Stockton) EVENING AUXILIARY The Evening.

TRUCKS CARRY FREIGHT FROM GORRIE Many readers of the Gorrie news who live at different centres through- out Canada and elsewhere, will be surprised to learn that on Wednesday last C. Lantz of Nobleton brought his truck trailer from Toronto to Gorrie and loaded some 10a tons of pressed hay and returned to the city. There was another truck with him who loaded between 7 and 8 ton§. As far as we can learn no trouble was had, To many this many not seem so very wonderful, but if they real- ized that until this winter it has been almost impossible for a car to run from Gorrie to Harriston let alone a load of 10; tons o fhay, which was 6 bales high. The road piasters are doing excellent work in endeavouring to keep the 9th open for cars while one days storm will close the road, it has so far been only a matter of a few days before it is opened again. FROM THE GORRIE VIDETTE OF 1841 The following, taken from the Gor- rie Vidette of 1841, 44 years ago ap- plies equally as well to people of this generation. It is headed by "How to Kill a Parish."- "Absent yourself from morning service; it takes a very 'dull and careless minister to stand up against empty pews." Stay at home whenever it rains on Sunday or is too hot or too cold. Never let the minister know if he has ever done you any good. Take a class in Sunday School and be in your place about three Sundays in five, and late these two. Attend no church gatherings if you have an opportunity of going any- where else, ' If a stranger be near you in church never hand them a prayer Book or yhmnal. Never speak to anyone you see at church unless you have been regularly introduced. "If you are ill, do not send wordto the minister, but let him find it out for himself. He will then probably call by the time you are well enough to go out and spend the day. In the meantime take every occasion to tell other church people that you fear the minister is not nsuch of a pastor, that he does not seem to know who are sick; that he has not been to see you for weeks, and all the time you have been so miserable, If times are hard, at once dimish or withdraw your subscription for fear lest, when you have paid for your tobacco, cigars, ribbons, jewelery tec. you• may have nothing. left for your holiday. Always grumble at the sermon .and fear that you cannot stand the drau- ght much longer.." WROXETER Miss Anne Little of Teeswater was a week -end,: guest at the home of Mrs. Mary Edgar.
