SEA,FORTH';' SYNOD SOC HOLDS MEETI Speaker Tellsof Urgent Needs `in Mission Fields. 2Q 194 iTRiC T. iERs FOR D SHIELD FUND The Hamilton and London Syn- odical Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada was held in Knox Presbyterian Church; Gode rich, on Mey 10,• 11 anrl1.2. The, first day • was chiefly taken up by the minutes of the annual meeting and departmental reports IR the evening an inspiring ad dress Was given by Rev. R. G. Mao - Milian, minister of Knox Church. On Wednesday morning the wel come address was given by Mrs. Bisset, who told of the early his- tory of Goderich, and delighted her audience with early incidents of its growth. The 'special feature of Wednesday, afternoon was an ad dress by Mrs. D. S. Pitts, former matron of the Cecilia Jeffery School for Indians. She ,spoke of the primitive conditions of the Indian life in that area. The in- fant mortality is 50 per cent due to unpreparedness for birth of the children and lack of early care of them. Many are born crippled. In winter their homes are crude shacks and in summer, tents. Blocks of wood serve as chairs and boughs for beds. They make their living by fishing, hunting and trapping. The women make fish nets. Whey are proficient in row- ing canoes and even five-year-old boys can handle canoes in rough- est water. At the close of the afternoon session, a trio from the Mission Band of the church played piano selections. The main feature of the evening was the address by Miss Laura Pelton, of Toronto, who has just returned from a plane trip to stu- d r the mission fields in Japan, China,. Formosa and India. Miss Pelton is an eloquent speaker and she held her audience spellbound as she spoke of the various phases of the work and the needs of the mission fields seen by her in her itinerary. She spoke of the task of tile younger churches in foreign lands. and how tremendous the help needed; how conditions change from day tb day and no one can prophesy, the future. She especial. ly praised the `Work done by Cie, Koreans in Japan and how though living in poverty, under pressure by the Jape and the regimentation of a conquered country,•they have carried on the work of Christian- ity. China, she said, is undergoing the most far-reaching revolution in the history of the world. Some- thing new is happening in. China. The culture of an ancient people is being shaken. What is going to come of this tragic situation, no one can say. The story of the people of India heartens and encourages, looking at it from a church view. Unless something unforseen, frightfully upsets them, the people of India will have religious freedom. The people of the churches must visualize these people of our mis- sion fields and pray that the mes- sage will cut into the minds and hearts of its congregations. Miss Pelton ended her address with the words, "The Christian Church has .been so slow to send the Gospel to heathen lands; its indifference is slowing down the help needed' as never before to lift up the hands of native Christians in For- mosa, China and India. One must ask himself: Have I done every- thing for Christianity? In this hour of peril, Communism is not idle. We must work now, before it is too Late. Have we done all we can, and is there more to do? What are we going to do about it? On Thursday, May 12, the elec- tion and installation of officers oc- curred. o-curred. Mrs. Donald Munro, of Hamilton, was re-elected president. In her closing message she said: "At first the mission field was lim- ited, but today it is the world. Africa, China, India, Formosa--, everywhere—in the homes, offices and factories, where each one is, the seeds may be sown and we can be co -laborers with God." • Additional Space For Victoria Park The pumping station lot, situat- ed behind Victoria Park, has been thoroughly cleaned by the P.U.C., preparatory to being seeded.

Ronald Sills, recently chos- en as Student Leader of the Seaforth District High School Area, will visit London Friday, as guest of the London Free Press and University of West- ern Ontario. He will also tour Station CFPL alohg with oth- er student leaders of Western Ontario. Students at the Seaforth District High School recently voted Ronald Sills as the outstanding athlete and student leader of the year,in conjunction with sponsored Free Press and University of Western Ontario tour for leading students in various high schools throughout Western Ontario. Ronald is the son of Mr and Mrs. C. P. Sills, and throughout his high school years has taken part in many school activities. This is his last year at Seafortle High, and hope to enter the University of Western Ontario this fad': lie is 17 years of age and in Grade 13.

Strath conn Medal as hest -rifle shot to school, is President of the School Athletic Society, also taking part in dramatics. Regardless of these activities, he ranks fourth in class examinations. . In an interview by the London Free Press, Ronnie thought that Western Ontario Schools could be improved by paying more atten- tion to the average and below average students. He feels that school studies could best be chang- ed by lightening the "burden of homework." "The setting up of councils, complete with reeves and mayors in„ school, would do much towards stimulating interest in municipal politics," he said. Basketball is his favorite sport, because "it is a team sport in which everyone participates in some major capacity." Ronnie thinks that present-day hockey rules should be changed to create Seaforth Women's Institute Reviews Year's Activities The May meeting of the Sea - forth Women's Institute was held Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Gordon Papple with about 50 members and guests present.
