While county field secretary
A. T. Cooper was in Hensall a
few Sundays ago, taking charge
of the services in the Presbyter-

have reason to remember the
visit. On Monday Mr. Cooper
reported the cases to Inspector
Torrence who went down in the
afternoon and laid charges, and
Magistrate Petty and Beavers
imposed fines, which with costs
amounted to about $40. As the
men were required to tell where
they got their liquor one of
Hensall';s prominent men was
implicated and on Wednesday
the inspector made another visit
to Hensall to allow the gentle-
man to plead guilty to a viola-
tion of the Canada Temperance
Act and a fine of $50 was im-
posed.

By
Lance J. Reed, Superintendent
The monthly birthday party
for our residents for February
was sponsored by the Kippen
United Church Women. They
presented a most enjoyable pro-
gram and the residents had a
wonderful evening.
* * *
Toni Meyers and Sam Ropp
treated the residents with some
delicious juice oranges which
they brought back with them
from the sunny south.

One afternoon each week, the
Canadian National Institute for
the Blind have a craft workshop
for all those residents in our
Hone that are blind. The Lon-
don office of the institute sends
out a instructor, who is blind
herself, and she spends the
time showing our blind resi-
dents how to make various ar-
ticles out •of the materials that
the blind association supply.
We are very lucky to have this
service made available to our
blind residents.
On several occasions on Sun-
day mornings, Mrs. Reed and
about eight residents have gone
to different churches in the vil-
lage. A week or so ago, they
visited the Mennonite Church
of Zurich, and last Sunday they
visited the Lutheran Church. A
sincere thank you to Rev. Ging-
erich, Rev. Blackwell and 'the
people of their respective
churches for the warm welcome
extended to our residents. Usu-
ally about eight residents avail
themselves of this opportunity.
• *
Deepest sympathy is extend-
ed to the family of one of our
residents, Mrs. Christena An-
derson, who passed away re-
cently. Mrs. Anderson was
from Wyoming, Ontario.
* A:
There are many subscribers
to the Blue Water Rest Home
building campaign who have
fallen a bit behind in honoring
their pledges. The board of
directors would appreciate it if
all subscribers would bring
their pledges up to date so as
to ensure a successful operation
in the capital account.
The f e d e r a 1, government
passed a regulation some time
ago that all receipts given for
charitable gifts must show a
registration number. Any per-
sons who have received receipts
from the Home for building
fund donations and such a num-
ber does not show on them,
please contact the Home office
(236-4373) and we shall be very
happy to send you the neces-
sary information so that your
receipt may be honored by the
income tax department.

We are happy to welcome the
following as residents to our
Home: Miss Diane Ducharme,
of the Zurich area, and Mrs.
Alice Crandon, of St. Marys,
Ontario. We trust they will
enjoy their stay with us.

I am sure all readers belong
to various groups or organiza-
tions. Recently in the mail on
a newsletter from another home
in London, the following poem
was included and I would like
to share the message of this
poem with you.
ARE YOU?
Are you an active member
The kind who would be missed
Or are you just content
That your name is on the list?
Do you attend meetings
And mingle with the flock
Or do you stay at home
And criticize and knock?
Do you take an active part
And help the work along
Or are you satisfied
To only just belong?
Do you ever go to visit
A member who is sick
Or leave the work to just a few
And talk about the ".CLICK".
Think this over
You know right from wrong
Are you an active member
Or do you just belong?
