Carmel par- ish, which has supplied a large number of priests and sisters to the Roman Catholic Church, will celebrate its centennial at a sup- per on Saturday, July 2. The social event will also in- clude a number of games, as well as a dance in the parish hall. Records show that the parish has provided the church with 12 priests, now serving as far away as Texas and British Columbia and 35 sisters since it was esta- blished in 1860. The first church, made of logs, was built at Mud Creek, 1 and 1/4 miles east of the present location. .it's believed that floods in this low=lying' area forced the parish- ioners to abandon the buiding and look for higher ground. The first structure erected in 1864 on land purchased from Ti- mothy Lynch. The present brick church was constructed in 1888 under the lead- ership of Rev. Martin Kelly. The parish was served from St. Peter's church on No. 4 highway until 1867 when a frame parish house was erected at Mt. Carmel. It was replaced by the present im- pressive red -brick house in 1909. At one time, two priests lived in the Mt. Carmel home. They ser- ved St. Peter's and an Exeter church, as well as Mt. Carmel. titled, "Thoughts," Mrs. Erb fa- voured with two accordian solos, "How Great Thou Art," The report of the officers Con- ference, which was held at Guelph, was given by Mrs, Jack Bannister, who introduced Mr. and Mrs. Kedd, who had charge of the mu- sic of the conference. Mrs. Ban- nister read the president's ad- dress, which stated that the Wo- men's Institute are not organized as a tea drinking group, but as a group with much work to do. The entire report, as given by Mrs. Bannister, was much enjoyed by all. Mrs. Newell Geiger gave the treasurer's report. An invitation from the Elimville Institute to join them at a picnic at Exeter on July 13, was accepted. It was decided to send a member and helper to Clinton. The booth for the Fall Fair was discussed. Committee appoin- ted was Mrs. Len Erb and Mrs. Jack Bannister. It was also de- cided to have a contest in the fall, to increase the membership, with Mrs. Delbert Geiger and Mrs. Bannister as leaders. Mrs. Bannister urged members to attend the Hospital Auxiliary meetings when possible. 0 Bride Elect Is -Given Shower Prior To Marriage On Saturday evening, about 35 relatives and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Deichert, Zurich, to honour Miss Elaine Grainger with a miscel- laneous iscellaneous shower.

FRED DUCHARME, Corresnondent1 Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Denom- me and Mr. Francis LaRouche who is in residence with them, return- ed on Tuesday last after a motor trip to Quebec and other centres. Quebec is the native province of the LaRouche family and natur- ally it was pleasing to thein to meet with relatives and old friends.

Mrs. Ted Allen is a niece to the Ducharmes' on this highway, BAKING SALE On Sunday last was the opening Sunday of the season for selling home made food; the idea was sponsored by the C. W. L. in pre- ference to an annual picnic as in the past. Each Sunday during the summer months after Mass, in the Parish Hall, home made baking will be sold and perhaps some will be taken to Bayfield when Mass opens there in July. The first Sunday sale all went over top, and there is certainty that those who attend the first sale will be regu- lar customers during the sum- mer. Courtesy will be shown to campers, visitors and outsiders we venture to say that the young and old gals of this parish know their stuff when it comes to bak- ing and will sure satisfy anyones' taste. We wish them success and food returns for their work. Visitors in St. Joseph and the surroundings were Mrs. Evelyn Trahan, of San Francisco, accom- panied by Mrs. Eugenie Bedard, of Tilbury. Mrs. Trahan, left this parish five years ago, first going to Montreal then to Alberta for some time before making her pre- sent home in San Francisco. She was widowed 32 years ago with two children to care for, being well learned and intelligent and being employed by the federal go- vernment. With a good paying job she was able to carry on and raise and give her children a good edu- cation. She is now retired and re- ceiving a well earned Federal pen- sion. She is keen of mind and re- calls many incidents of her school years and her class mates, of which few remain today. She is the youngest sister of the late Narcisse Cantin, founder of St, Joseph. Mrs. Trahan left this parish when only 13 years of age. When she com- pletes her voyage, first going to Chicago, then to the Western Prai- ries to visit a brother, the only living member of the family, she will bring to her home many sweet memories of her native home and childhood days to meditate on. She noted many changes in this parish since her departure these many years gone by. We wish this grand lady much. success in her voyage, a safe return to her home, and that she may have enjoyed herself with the few remaining relatives and friends to her hearts content. On Sunday last, motoring from this highway to Detroit, were Mr. and Mrs. Leon Bedard, Mr, and Mrs. Michael Masse, of London, and Mrs. Ed. Corriveau, where they spent Sunday visiting a sick relative.
