•CANADIAN CLUB
OUTLINES PROGRAM
As announced last week, the Wing-
,lbarn Canadian Club will hold the first
4y, meeting of the season in the .Council
+Chamber on Friday evening, October
:23rd, at eight o'clock, Lieut. Col, E.
E. Reilly, London, will discuss "The,
Present Economic Situation", As
the prevailing depression affects ev-
. ery Canadian either directly or indir-
4ectiy; this subject should be of inter -
•est to all, and especially to the busi
ness men of the town.
At the close of last season, the
Canadian Club had a membership of
-eighty. It is hoped that this year
there will be at least one hundred
members. The larger the member-
-ship, the greater will be the service
which the Club can. give to the corn-
niunity. The speakers who entertain
,:and instruct .us from time to time of-
ten come from a distance and their
expenses are heavy. Also, the affil-
iation fees, fifty sents per member,
which are paid to the Association of
-Canadian Clubs entitle us each year
to at least four speakers who are sent
to us by that organization. If we had
° ' not a substantial list of paid -.up mem-
bers, we could not enjoy these ad-
vantages, neither could we be assured
of our ability to meet the expenses of
those speakers whom we ourselves in-
•vite,
We urge those who intend becom-
ing members of the Club to join early
this year, if at all possible. By so
doing, you will greatly simplify the
Work of the treasurer in sending in
affiliation fees, and you will enjoy,
from the very first, the interesting
Programme which is being arranged.
We hope to have at least four meet-
ings before Christmas, speakers for
three of these have already been ob-
tained. The first, Lieut -Col. E. Reilly
.comes to us on Friday of this week.
In the second week of November,
Professor Dorland, of Western
University, will speak to us on "The.
, -New Ireland." On the twenty-sixth
.tf November,- Col. David' "Cat negie
''ill lecture on "The World Disarm-
ament Conference, 1932." Col. Car-
negie is one of the speakers offered
to us by the Association of Canadian
Clubs' These four speakers will dis-
cuss subjects of national interest, and
swill be distributed throughout the
-ear, two before Christmas, and two
after. We are in communication with
l,Ir. Dan McCowan, who is known as
"'The Naturalist of the Rockies", and
who so delighted his hearers last 'fall,
-with a view to arranging a date on
which he will be free to come to
Wingham. The year's programme
will include other speakers of note
and interest.

receiving additions from activities o:
ganized by some members of th
Chamber of Commerce. Jack Mc
Kay aided the fund substantially by
street carnival and now Garnet Bake
is ready to announce a play organize
through his efforts in behalf of thi
fund.
"Safety First" is the name of th
Three Act Comedy which will be pre
by all local talent, many o
whom have appeared successful'
here in other plays. Mrs. M. Griffin
Js the capable coach in'charge of the
training of the cast, which is corn

Mr. Baker when interviewed in con
netted with the Chamber of Com-
merce activities in organizing this
play was asked, "What is it, a drama,
a comedy'or a tragedy?". In answer
he replied,' "Some parts are so dram-
atic as to engulf you in tears, some
parts so tragic as to cause you to
gasp for breath, and through it all
runs a series of thrills to provoke
laughter beyond expression; comedy?
yes and howl
Again the Chamber of Commerce

2nd Vice-Pres.—Geo. King: in Corrie was accepted, Corrie is al-
so to send a delegate to the Confer-
ence Branch tn'cxt Spring. Thirteen of
the fourteen Auxiliaries in the North:
tit, Section were present to respond ' to
the roll call with a report.
Ethel Auxiliary has met their allo-
cation quarterly. The aim of the
Fordaaiclt Auxiliary is to have the
Missionary 'Monthly in ~very home
in the congregation. They now re-
ceive 48 copies, and have 23 annual
members in their society. Though
Salem Auxiliary is small they . are en-
tlrusiastic and interested workers. Of
the 10 members they have an aver-
age attendance of seven, Wingham is
the largest Auxiliary with a member-
ship of 89. The , reports from - Gor-
rie and Wingham Mission Circles
were quite as encouraging as those
from the Auxiliaries. Mrs. Wellwood,
Mission Band,. Secretary, called the
roll of the Mission Bands. She de-
plored the fact that there were not
more Bands and asked where the
Church that did not train its children
along missionary lines, could look for
its future leaders in that work.
There are four Baby Bands in this
section. Mrs. Davidson called the roll
of the C.G.I.T.'s. Mrs. Button of
Fordwich rendered ,a beautiful solo.
Addresses were given by Mrs. Willis,
Branch Sec. for the Missionary Mon-
thly, and Mrs. Wellwood, Mission
Band Secretary. ' .,Mrs. Davison, of
Wingham, introduced the new Study
Book on Korea in a very interesting
manner. She also gave some practi
cal hints for using the Study Book_

sumptuous dinner was served by .the
Belgrave ladies.
In the afternoon St. Helen's Auxil-
iary lad in the devotional exercises.
Mrs. Lane, the Presbyterial President
brought greetings and the thought
that no matter what comes we still
have God. She said too, that the dif-
ficulties that confront us this year are
a real challenge, for . as we love we.
give. Mrs. Greer in giving her finan-
cial report, stated that six auxiliaries
have, sent in more than they had at
this time last year which is certainly
encouraging. She stressed More pray—
er with the giving.
Mrs. Koine and Mrs. Abram, Gor-
rie, sang a lovely duet. Mrs. R. W.
Craw of Lucknow, president of the
Hamilton Conference Branch, brou-
ght a wonderful message. She said
that, this year of ' emergency was
Christ's challenge. She said that we
must have renewed consecration and
renewed prayer. Christ has no hands
ISut ours—shall we fail?
Mrs. Forrester, Strangers' Secre-
tary, spoke on the work of that de -
pertinent. The pageant "The House
of Do What You Can" presented by
the Belgrave Mission Band, was very
much enjoyed. One of the several
resolutions passed by the convention
was that " in view of the great fin-
ancial depression, especially in the
Western Provinces, we urge upon all
our members an increased sacrificial,
spirit, and a more generous use of
all out• talents in order that our allo-
cations may all be reached and if pos-
sible exceeded."
