Christian Family Day Held At Hensall United Church • Christian Family Day was ob- served in the United Church on Sunday, the church being filled• for the occasion with scholars of the Sunday School occupying the front seats of the church auditorium. Rev. R. A. Brook occupied his own pulpit, assisted by Jack Corbett, superintendent of the Sunday School. The infant children of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Munn, Mr: and Mrs. Clarence Smillie and. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Elder received the rite of baptism. Scripture lessons were read by Shirley Flynn and Anna Pepper and scholars of Miss Lam- mie's class.

Brook delivered an inspiring mes- sage in keeping with the occasion. A basket of lovely flowers, in mem- ory of the late Mrs. Albert Spen- cer, was placed on the Communion table by Mr. Albert Spencer and members of the family. Rev. Brook announced to the congregation that he bad accepted a call to Bluevale United Church, to take ef- fect at the end of June. This news was=ereceived with regret by the congregation. For the following Sundays until the end of June, ministers will occupy the pulpit preaching for a call, Next Sunday, Rev. G. C. Weir, B.A., of Centralia, will occupy the pulpit. The president, Mrs. Beer, presid- ed for the monthly meeting of the Hensall Women's Institute held in the Legion rooms on Wednesday night, May 10. Mra. J. Paterson and Mrs. R. Y. MaeLaren were hos- tesses for the event. Following the Ode, the Creed and the Lord's Prayer were repeated. The min- utes were read and collection tak- en. Roll call was answered thus: "How many Institute meetings did you attend the past year?" Mrs. Orr interestingly outlined the re- cent district meeting held at Mrs. A. Moir's, Hurondale. In present- ing the motto, "Stop, Look and Lis- ten," Miss C'onsitt stressed the im- portance of these words. We are all travellers on the road of life. Let us observe the signals: Physi- cal road of life and spiritual road of life. All roads lead to a destina- tion; the spiritual road leads to eternity. Victor Dinnin, of Zurich, pertaining to fire prevention: "Crimes of Carelessness," and "They Didn't Have To Die." Miss Greta Lammie rendered an enjoy- able piano solo.

Lodges of the district re- presented included Goderich, Clin- ton, Seaforth, Brucefield, Exeter, Amber Rebekah Lodge of Hensall, and visiting Rebekahs from Gode- rich, Clinton and Exeter were pre- sent. The church was filled to ov- erflowing, chairs having to be plac- ed in the aisles. Rev. C. L. Langford, M.A., rector of Trivitt Memorial Church, Exe- ter, and St. Paul's, Hensall, ad- dressed the members and referred to the Central Link in Oddfellow, ship: "Go, and do thou likewise," and stressed the fact that the one object in mind is "service." A male quartette, composed of Owen At- kinson, Frank Wildfong, Gerald' and tlaecild Skinner, rendered a lovely number, "The Lord is My Shepherd." The choir, assisted by members from Trivitt Memorial Church, Exeter, rendered a stirring anthem, "0 Praise the Lord." The soloist was H. Skinner, while Robt. Cameron was organist. Scripture lessons were read by Walter Bal- four and Owen Atkinson. Following the service the breth- ren marched to the lodge rooms where a. vote of thanks was ten- dered to Rev.

Certainly C�reorge Kucioskus, • dI bite Bowery; I;ad not set his eon2-pass for the Glory Road when he accepted a $1.50 commission on illarch 19 to push a heavily loaded handcart from: an art -supply, company at 79 Bast Tenth Street to 32$ Bast 244 St. But Mr. ii itchnskus ;studied the address given him, decided that it read328 East 234h Street„ and pushed bravely Bronxward. Fifteen hours and ilfteen miles later, police discovered Mr. Kuein- akus, still pushing, at East 229th Street and White Plains Avenue, the Bronx. Ile complained about nothing but the number of hills. When police straightened out the confusion over addresses he en- joyed a free ride to his proper destination, payment of $30 from various sources for his efforts and the prominent display of his pic- ture in, -the newspapers. In erring hie—way to brief re- nown, Mr. Kucinskus joined that small company of men whose in advertences were so colossal that their very enormity commanded respect. There's no known pass- key to this unofficial hall of fame; the candidate just stumbles along until, with one unexpected and epic boot, he's in. * * * Fred Merkle made the All -Errata team in 1908 by failing to touch second base in a game which lost the National League championship for the New York Giants. The Brooklyn Dodgers qualified in 1926 by touching second base with three players• simultaneously!- Even Magna Carta, the corner- stone of Anglo-American liberty, was tipped slightly askew by the medieval scribe who wrote it "Magna Charta” in 1215 A.D. Brit- ish experts levelled it off, with a posthumous poke at the scribe, in 1946. The invention of printing did not halt the recorder's blundering pro- gress, as the Associated Press learned in 1946, when it lifted the price controls from "caskets," in- stead of "gaskets," and loosed a Pandora's box full of hecklers. That same year, the New York City Internal Revenue office brought transient ecstasy into the life of Thomas P. Richir, of Dun- kirk, N.Y., by mailing him an in- come tax refund of $555,555.55. But a Secret Service agent reached his home almost as soon as the cheque, reclaimed it with an explanation that the cheque -writing machine had stuck, and left Mr. Richir with the hope that his expected refund of $35.50 would eventually arrive. * * * Modern communications offer no barrier to the relentless march of error. 'Consider the Philadelphia executive who telephoned Minne- apolis police in 1947 to adjust a traffic ticket acquired by one.. of his salesmen. "No such charge in Minneapolis," police told him after some minutes. "Minneapolis?" he shouted, "I asked for Annapolis!" Man afoot has margin enough for error, as Roy Riegels affirmed in 1929, when he ran seventy-five yards to within a foot of his own goal to lose the Rose Bowl game for California. But what richer possibilities were realized by the skipper of the U.S.S. William D. Porter! Sailing the Atlantic in Novem- ber, 1943, as part of the naval es- cort to President Roosevelt and the chiefs of staff, the destroyer's skipper accidentally launched a live torpedo which exploded some distance astern the battleship Iowa, where all the brass was con- centrated. The skipper and his men escaped with an official ad- monishment — and the fright of their seagoing lives.. Error expands with the means at hand. Aided by the airplane, Almon Max Frankel, of Brooklyn, in August, 1946, took a wrong turn at La Guardia Field and flew as an airline passenger to San ,Tuan, Puerto Rico, although he had in- tended to go to Amsterdam. Mrs. Emilia Garcia Montalvo de Rivera. on the other hand, though aiming to return to her home in San Juan, boarded a plane in 1948 which took her to London and back to New York—all by mistake and all with the compliments of Pan American World Airways. * * * Last year, a French student fly- ing back to school in Bronxville, was met by customs officials who discovered some of his clearance papers had been forgotten. Almost immediately, he returned to France by air, picked up his papers and flew somewhat tardily to class. Opening day has passed by a few weeks ago and the Interna- tionaI League is well underway. In looking back we find that the be- ginning of the series passed by unnoticed by us andwe passed up an opportunity to give our predic- tions on where the teams in this league will end. Well, here . it is! Jersey City will end in first position, with Mon- treal close behind them. Syraduse wr oma Third, while Toronto, if they break out of their present clunillky, will in fourth place, while if t keep on playing the type Of alI they have been dem- onstrati g 'so far this season, the Rochester team will take fourth position.
