Relatives from St. Catharines, Toronto, Detroit, Kitchener, London, Tillsonburg, Dashwood, Hensall, Clinton and Zurich attended. Mr. Merner and his wife, the formes Isabell Kyle, were married in Detroit, Michigan, and moved to the farm in Hay Township in 1930, where they farmed until their retirement in 1969.

Emmanuel U.C.W., Zurich, for their April meeting which was held on Thursday evening. Mrs. Newell Geiger opened the meeting with an Easter meditation and a poem "Spring is here". The hymn "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" was sung. Mrs. Don Rawlings read the scripture John 20 and Mrs. Menne Steckle led in prayer. Mrs. Mary Hey read a poem. Mrs. Dorothy Bullock and Miss Lillie Greb-from Exeter, playing guitar and accordion, sang two duets "He Lives" and "He Has Never Failed Me Yet". Mrs. Eric Luther from Hensall was guest speaker and spoke on several._ occasions that Christ appeared to his disciples after His resurrection. The disciples had expected Him to be crowned king after his triumphal entry into Jerusalem but instead of sitting on a throne he was hung on a cross and instead of a king's crown he wore a crown of thorns. There are many infallable proofs of the wonderful resurrection. A dead Christ could not revive a dead world. Mrs. Bullock and Miss Greb sang another number, "The Longer I Serve Him the Sweeter He Grows". After lunch was served, a brief executive meeting was held. a careless f match can start a — Huff Frozen Chicken Breasts & Legs Rendered Lard our own Round Steak Whole Ham Steaks Fronts 694 Ib.

There were two hundred and twenty-one guests here to enjoy the delicious meal of scalloped potatoes, ham and turkey along with salads and all the trimmings, plus cherry and apple pies. We wish to thank Mrs. Horn, head cook who planned the gond rneal along with the kitchen staff who worked so hard, Also "Thank You1- to each one of the members of the Ladies Auxiliary because without their assistance the undertaking would be impossible. We were pleased to again have Miss Dorcas Gingerich, Mrs. Jack Turkhiem, Miss Idella Gable and Mrs. Margaret Coates who presided at the organ during the afternoon and early evening providing pleasant background music. A sincere "Thank You" to each one of you for your con- tribution in making the day a successful one. A draw was made on a cake with proceeds going to Bunny Bundle, We wish to thank Mrs. Maxine Miller on the lovely job she did of decorating the cake. I'm sure Mrs. Verlie Lavery the lucky recipient would say it tasted just as good as it looked, With all that activity most of the residents felt somewhat tired by evening, but then, can you think of a more pleasant reason to be tired? The chapel service was with- drawn on Sunday evening because of the residents' family dinner. Monday evening films were shown and Friday evening, Bingo was played followed with refreshments. We wish to extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Gertrude Gittus from Hensall to our Home. 3 BIG DAYS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY OF PRE -INVENTORY ARGAINS Next week, at the conclusion of our first year in business, we must take stock.
