Charles chaplain tguest o the London Psychiatric Hospital, and a man who has for many years been associated with the Day Centre, Wirking in the. comam►unity, he said, he knew that volwrteers played a very, im- portant role, and it was equally impor- tant that their contributions should be acknowledged, as was happeiung at this gathering. He describes 'them as am- bassadors of God, who by their participa- tion exemplified the Christian doctrine of loving caring and sharing. Quoting fromhis own experience, he said that the years had taught him many as in�di things, was of the utmost treating rii people also stressed the need to be supportive, observant and a good listener; to treat others with respect, and thus to earn theirs. An indication of the loyalty of Day Cen- tre volunteers was dearly indicated when the awards wereresented.

Welcome to Queensway News. We've had a very eventful last two weeks with our April 26th Birthday Party being the highlight. Marie Flynn and the Huron Strings entertained with lots of Old Tyme Music. We were also treated to some ex- cellent step dancing from Cheryl Colson, Sonya Chrastina, Tanis Chisholm, Amy Jean Love, Erica Brownridge, Jesse Con- nolly, and Amy Shapton. Residents thoroughly enjoyed the program and also appreciated the dedicated parents who brought their step dancing children to entertain. Movies viewed by residents the past two Thursdays were "Ruth Stouts Garden" which now has us m the mood to soon plant Queensway's, and "Fun in Acapulco". Monday, April 30th the Hensall Presbyterian ladies played their last bingo Flower S QU NSWAY for the month with residents. Queensway has really been thankful for their assistance and prizes in April and look for- ward to seeing them again in September. Monday evening, women of the Zurich Mennonite Church joined residents for a Ladies Hour. Residents received hand massages, manicures and a little extra "'pampering, followed by tea and a special snack of fruit bread and cheese provided by the Mennonite women. Pastor Alles of the Zurich Lutheran Church led the wors 'p on Tuesday, May 1 with Gertie Fleischaur as pianist.

Plans were finalized for our forthcoming Spaghetti Supper to be held on May 4th at the Parish Hall. Other new business was brought to the floor.

The guest speaker was Mrs. A. J. Finlay, International Chairperson of the In- ternational Committee for World Day of Prayer. She is alos the World President. The Right Reverend Derwyn D. Jones, Bishop of Huron was the celebrant. Our ladies very much enjoyed the day and were especially impressed by the guest speaker, Mrs. Finlay. The mystery prize winner was Nancy Larone, and our next meeting will be June 5th at the Parish Hall which will be a Pot Luck Supper. Dorothy Hays, our Chairperson, brought back an article on our Thankoffering". The following is a summary of this offer- ing and it's special meaning. Who contributes: For some women, a Thankoffering has long been an accepted part of their church life; for others, it is a new experience of Christian love and stewardship. Often it becomes a family project. You may be a member of a parish group, or you may not be, but all persons mindful of the need to give thanks for God's grace may contribute. Usually, someone designated by the women of your parish will then present the total parish offering at the service of Ho- ly Communion at the Annual Meeting of the Anglican Church Women. The money goes to or will be included in our Total Budget. We, in the Diocese of Huron have ac- cepted our fair share of the Diocesan Budget. Our share reduces the amount of the apportionment to Parishes in the Diocese and is channeled into the horse • from page 2 All horse lovers will sympathize with Rev. R.W. Craw of McKillop, who last week suffered the loss of his ten months old standardbred filly. The colt seemed to be in excellent spirits and health at noon, when it cleaned up its feed as usual, but during the afternoon it was taken ill and lockjaw developed almost immediately, from which it died a few hours later. The filly was ohe of the finest colts ever bred in this district, and Mr. Craw had not on- ly had her registered but had entered her in the futurity, risk plc mainstream of the church life in Canada and the world. The `Thankoffering" is a very special and personal way in which you can say "thank you" for God's love and understan- ding towards you, in ways both large and small. In other news in our Parish, a joint Board meeting was held between St. Paul's of Clinton and St. Thomas' of Seaforth. We had an excellent turnout and productive meeting.
