James in- troduced the speaker of the eve- ning, Miss Jean Kellerman, a missionary of the E.U.B. church in Japan, who is presently at her home in Kitchener and whose father was a native of Dashwood. Miss Kellerman gave a very enlightening message in which she related that Japan is in a turmoil economically, politically and spiritually. It has become an industrial nation since the last war and now steel and aluminum industries have taken over the quiet fishing villages that dot the entire coastline. Japan is now the most prosper- ous nation in the Far East. This prosperity has caused a great deal of unrest and uneasiness among the people as the Chris- tian Church has not kept pace with the industrial age. She stated that 99% of the univers- ity students are materialists. In pointing out some of the diffi- culties facing the Christian church in Japan, she said that the Buddhists are now copying our methods of Christianity as they teach their children "Buddha loves me", replacing "Buddha" for "Jesus". They pray to anything which brings them blessings. A historical sketch of the so- ciety's fifty years was prepared and read by Mrs. Sid Baker. In the Memorial Service that followed, Mrs. George Link, a past president, read a poem and Mrs. H. J. Kellerman, secretary, read the names of the 72 mem- bers who had passed away dur- ing the past 50 years.. As each name was react the president and four of the past presidents lit a candle in memory of each of these members. The candles were arranged in steps to form the letters WSWS with a back- ground of gold mums. This service was closed with a trio by Mrs. Jack Gaiser, Mrs. Ron Braid, and Miss Lynda Tiernan. Lunch was served in the Sun- day School basement. A table, covered by a lace tablecloth, had as a centrepiece the anni- versary cake in the form of an open Bible flanked by white candles and mums. The cake was designed and made by Mrs. Eben Weigand. Donald Weigand is attending judging competitions at OAC. Guelph, and the Royal Winter Fair this week. Mr. and Mrs. Eben Weigand, Norma and Jim, and Mrs. Homer Russel and Jean, of Exeter, spent the weekend at Port Col- borne with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Bearss and family. Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Smith, of Belleville, spent the weekend with the latter's brother and family, Rev. and M. J. James.

GINGERICH SALES & SERVICE LTD ZURICH SEAFORTH County Council Win Have Better Representation on Children's Aid Goderich — County council in September moved for greater representation on the Cildren's Aid board, on the ground that "he who pays the piper calls the tune." The wardens and per- sonnel committee proposed that members of the health board be .members of the C,A.S. body, "without increasing the num- ber of directors." This would have ousted some of the present directors. It was sent to the C.A.S. for consideration. The result has been a com- promise, "not exactly what the committee asked for," as chair- man. A. D. Smith explained. Through secretary John G. Berry the C.A.S. board writes consenting to three additional members being appointed "when vacancies occur on the board." These representatives are to be chosen by the nominating com- mittee of the C.A.S. board "frons the county council members as a whole, and will be subject to the usual vote at the annual meeting." Furthermore, the plan is to run for two years before becom- ing final practice. Also, "in the event the members from coun- cil do not comply with the rules and regulations of the Society they will be treated as any other member, and also of course will receive no committee pay, but only mileage to the meetings." Committee chairman Smith, reeve of Turnberry, called it a "sensible conclusion". "We have reached a compro- Three Candidates For Wardenship Goderich—The closing session of county council for 1963 did not produce the round of brief speeches, once customary, in which members indicated whether they intended to retire or run again in their own muni- cipalities. Three announced candidature for the wardenship, subject to their re-election lo- cally, and Warden F or be s, though he holds office until a successor is chosen, made his farewell. The members had sung "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" as he took his seat. "I appreciate very much the co-operation I have received from members of county coun cil," he said. "The good fellow- ship this year and other yearser shall never forget. I am going to miss it next year, but to all good things there has to be an end." On behalf of all the members, Reeve Cliff Dunbar, of Grey, expressed to •the warden"con- gratulation and commendation for the way you have conducted the duties of office, infusing that subtle element of humor which alleviates the sessions, and also your duties through- out the area in representing Huron." Speaking for the half-dozen new members, Reeve Calvin Kreuter, of Brussels, expressed appreciation of the warden's work. "It has been of great benefit to us," he said, "and we have learned considerable about the government 'of our county." Clerk -treasurer John Berry thanked the warden and press on behalf of county officials, for their co-operation. Mayor Ernie Fisher, of Gode- rich, paid his customary visit, and this also was a farewell. He is on the staff of the pro- vincial g. vernment.

We had intend- ed to have the health commit- tee take this over, but the C.A.S. had some doubts, It has been a nice thing that we were able to do that without any acrimonious debate." The report was carried. Of 37 children made perma- nent wards' of the Children's Aid Society in Huron this yea ; only one came into care becau of his own delinquency. Eleven had lost one parent, three had lost both. At least 18 came from broken homes, and in at least 16 cases one cause for the breakup was drinking. These facts were laid before county council in the report of Miss Clare Mcowan, local di- rector, who ori this occasion stressed adoption problems. "All but five of these chil- dren," she said, "were over two years old when admitted to care and the oldest was 15. The youngest permanent ward we now have who is not on adop- tion probation is seven, and we still hope he may be adopted. The next youngest is 11. We do not know of anyone who will adopt these older ones, all of whom have problems of vari- ous degrees of seriousness due to no fault of their own. So these children, who are the most damaged and who greatly need the security of permanent homes, seem destined to never have them. "Our foster families are real- ly exceptional. No one else knows what patient understand ing and tireless effort goes into this work. At the board meet- ing last week it was agreed that our boarding rate (formerly -1) should be $1.25 per day, and with more difficult children we have authority to pay up to $2 This does not interfere with the extra $10 per month for prob- lem children. The Ontario Training School advertises in the newspapers that it pays $58 per month and provides exten- sive fringe benefits. "Many wii!es who have spare time and want to increase the family income get jobs outside the home. This may be one reason it is so difficult to get enough foster homes. Another reason, I believe, is the type of child now ,coming into care, Aside from the adoptable babies, we very rarely have a curly-haired, blue-eyed girl or a handsome, clever little boy for whom to find a home. If such do •come into our care, they are apt tobe full of prob- lems, These children have 4 missed out on love, intelligent training„ security and care. Usually they have few clothes fit towear, and badly need medical and dental care. Some can't remember ever having been to church or Sunday school, do not know a prayer or Bible story unless they have learned them at school, AlI these things we try to give them." "We are very fortunate in Huron," said Warden Forbes, "to have a director such as Miss McGowan" GIANT AUCTION SALE at the CLINTON LEGION HALL CLINTON, ONTARIO Saturday Afternoon, Nov. 23 1:30 P.M.
