MARYS — Over 60 members of Huron -Perth Women's Missionary Society met at St. Marys Presbyterian Church to hear Pauline Brown, a mission- ary in the Bhil field in India, tell the background behind the Hindu persecution of many non -Hindu citizens. Huron -Perth has sent over $420 to assist Bhil children to go to school. The Bhils are known as `monkey people' which is lower than the lowest caste in India. India is one-third the size of Canada and has over one billion people of whom 2-1/2 per cent are Christian. Since the first teacher sent by the WMS, Bertha Robson, was sent over 107 years ago, no church except the Presbyterian has worked with the Bhils. Brown showed a beautiful wall hanging which was made and sent to the Presbyterian Church in Canada by 14 Christian men who have been jailed. Brown was thanked by Bernice Richards, Stratford. The second vice-president Janet Gibson, St. Marys presided for the day's program which began with Hymn 641, One More Step Along the World I Go. Greetings from St. Marys Kirk Session were brought by Doris Webb. The morning program included a demonstration of simple creative flower designs by Janice McIver of Avonbank. She showed many arrangements that can be made with a very few flowers. Lois Horne, North Easthope, promoted several books that were available at her book display. The area educational consultant, Rev. Anne Yee - Hibbs, recommended a new study, Consider It All Joy, to groups that have finished their study on the Bhils. She also led a Bible study on James 1:5-8, Be Doers, Not Hearers Only. She was thanked by Nancy Schneider, Listowel. St. Marys women served a delicious ham and scal- loped potato lunch. The afternoon program, began with Hymn 480, In Christ There Is No East or West. The St. Marys Graceful Tones quartet played four handbell numbers. They were thanked by Lorna Stewart, Exeter.

Coats for Kids extended CLINTON — The collec- tion period for the Red Cross "Coats for Kids" pro- gram has been extended until Oct. 13. Donations of coats, snowpants, hats, mitts, boots and scarves can be dropped off at any of the drop-off sites (businesses with the Red Cross "Coats for Kids" sign on their door or in their window). The bulk of items donat- ed so far have been in the adult sizes and while they are still accepting all sizes of coats and other winter wear they are especially focusing on children's sizes. WalMart has donated 200 backpacks full of school supplies to be dis- tributed to elementary children in Huron County. The backpacks will be available, along with the coats and other winter wear, Oct. 15-17. The goal of this program is to make sure everyone has access to warm winter clothing and allows lower income families to focus their finances on other areas while knowing their family will be warm this winter. Registration is not required, just come to one of the distribution centres and volunteers will help people fmd the sizes they need. They are still looking for volunteers to help with distribution at all sites, especially Clinton and Brussles. If anyone is available to for a few hours to help during one of the three distribution days they would appreciate hearing from them.
