Audrey and Dave Kemp of Clinton presented a slide presentation of their exp- erience in the Arctic region. Little was it realized that weather outside had changed to Arctic conditions at the same time, causing several people to be forced to stay in the village for the night. The United Church men agair faced adverse weather condition as they served the annual bean supper. As usual the experience has improved the qualifications of "mother's helpers". This undertaking again proved quite successful. Unit II of the United (Murch Women met at the home of Mrs. Elva Metcalf. Here final arrangements were made to participate in the conducting of the following Sunday's Churcl Service in celebration of Inter- national Women's Year and the 50th anniversary of the United Church of Canada.

CUBS AND SCOUTS Twenty-nine Cubs, Scouts, their leaders and a few parents, went to the•sugar bush on Thurs- day evening and learned from Mr. and Mrs. Earl Schilbe the art of making maple syrup. Mr. and Mrs. Schilbe told them that it takes about 50 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup. It was a very int- eresting art, but one that takes many hours of tedious labour. The Schilbe's deserve a very big vote of thanks for giving of their time during a very busy schedule, and for their patience in explaining this very interest- ing art and last but not least for the sample taste of fresh maple syrup given to till those present. The leaders of these troups have planned some very inter- esting and varied activities for April and May. Upcoming Thurs day evening April 17 is Investit- ure Night for Boy Scouts. Par- ents are invited to attend this ceremony. April 24 is set for the Father and Son Banquet.
