It is regretted that there has been a drop in the amount of work done, and tie matter of speeding up was d'iscu`ssed. Under 'a new, ruling, 85 per cent. of all contributions are to be forwarded to headquarters. This means that •if the work is to continue on the pres- ent scale, there must be more fend - raising events. • W.Y.. Holds June Meeting The June meeting of the Women's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Leslie McClure on Tuesday af- ternoon with Mrs. W. Coleman, presi- dent, in the chair. It was decided to give $18.00 to the Chinese Relief -fund. Mrs. Cecil Oke gave an interesting re- port of the district annual meeting, head recently at Hens•all, showing that Seaforth ranked among the high- est in its past year's activities. Ar- -rangements were discussed for the making of jam at Haigh's store. Ap- peals are being made for the loan oll ,stoves for this purpose. The question of securing a much needed rest room was again under discussion. Travel- ling expenses for the junior girls in project work are to be paid to Clin- ton. for Achievement Day on Satur- day. Mrs. Paul Doig was in charge of the program on Citizenship. She read an appropriate" •paper on , the ,motto,. 'Morale, like charity, begins at home." Dr. Hurford, as guest speaker, gave an instructive talk on World govern- ment after the -war. "Weare citizens of the *orld and not merely of Can- ada. .The narrow Selfish idea of citi- zenship leads to rivalry and jealouy and hence to world strife. Modern science has brought nations closer to- gether and because of this, we need dome. form of •government where na- tions can act together, plan together, 'and live together In peace,"• said the speaker. A hearty vote of thanks watt given Dr. fIuder& for hie inspiring talk. Miss Thelma Elgie mored a vote 'of thanks to the. hostess and the meet - Ing closed with "Clod SaViS-the Etng.' Hon... John Bracken, Pro- gressive Conservative Leader, and ;Hon. Farqu- har Oliver Are Special Speakers. AT LIONS PARK ON MONDAY • Farmers and their families from this and adjoining counties were at Seaforth Lions Park on Monday for the Farmers' Field Day and Picnic, sponsored by the Huron County Fed- eration of Agriculture. The undertaking, in spite of not too favorable weather, was an unqualified success and President W. L. Whyte and his staff of willing and ca:pabie• workers, are certainly to be congrat- ulated'on the.complete success of the field day, which without question will be the forerunner of many other and enlarged. annual gatherings of the Federation. "We ;are living in the most chal- lenging days of any generation,ahs we know better 'how tp lay the basis for a new world than, ever •before. My hope is that we may be able to meet this, challenge," John Bracken, leader of- the Progressive Conserva- tive party in Canada, declared Mon, day afternoon. ' Mr. Bracken, with the Hon. Farqu- har Oliver, minister of public welfare for Ontario,, was special speaker as the Huron County Federation of Ag- riculture held their first field day and picnic a,t t'he Seaforth Lions Park.

Lunch was served by the hostess. • The Festival Of Whi'tsun There are three great religious. fes- tivals—Christmas, Easter and' Whit - sun (next Sunday). We have valued the 'first two and forgotten the third (Wlr.its•un). This is said to. be one reason fdr the weakness of the Chris= tian Church, for the festival of Whit - sun is concerned with the life-giving person of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit we are without the power of •God. Why the nable Wrhitsun? Two of the reasons given are: (1) White, Sunday, from the white garment .(chrisom) which English candidates wore on this day when many were baptized. .-.(2) W!hitsun Is said by some th be derived from the German "plings'ten," a corrupt form of "Pente- cost," Peubecost (fiftieth) was a Jewish festival to comniemorate the ingathering of the first _fruits of the .harvest and came fifty days after the feast of the Passover. It was on the day. of Pentecost that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the followers of Jesus (Acts 2). I•n the British Isles ,Whitsun has for hundreds of year's' been kept as a fes- tival and thus Whit -Monday is a, holi- day (i.e. holy day) and boys and girls do riot, forget it. We can afford to let go some outworn traditions • of the, past, but dao We afford to let gg this ancient festival 'which is as, import, ant as Oliristrnte and Paster? n1 F RMJ.
