The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1952-09-25, Page 3THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1952 Artificial Ice Arena Boards Set Standard Rate For District Managers and boards members of artificial ice arenas in this section of Western Ontario met at Exeter town hall Tuesday night to set rates and team splits for the '52-’53 season. The meeting decided to charge $7 an hour for hockey practices and split the gate for team games 60 percent for the team and 40 percent for the arena. The arenas will require a $50 guarantee on all team games. All arenas agreed to abide by the standard rates. The centres include Exeter, St. Marys, Mit­ chell, Lucan, Clinton, Seaforth, Milverton, "Walkerton and Kin­ cardine. Goderich representatives wore unable to attend. / For local industrial league games, a 50-50 split was agreed upon and the suggestion made (that the $50 guarantee clause also be inserted. The basis for charges for min­ or hockey was left at the dis­ cretion of the individual boards. Discussion took place on the or­ ganization of curling and figure •Skating programs. Ed Brady, local board mem­ ber, was chairman of the meet­ ing. This is the first attempt by ^artificial ice arenas in this dist­ rict to set standard prices for use of facilities. All boards have the mutual problem of setting rates at which the arena can be operated profitably and still be Competitive with the neighboring centres. The boards also wish to dis­ courage price - cutting among themselves since experience has shown this acts to the disadvan­ tage of all concerned. Those who attended the meet­ ing expressed the hope that co- operation among the arena boards could be maintained for their mutual benefit.

Groups Meet At Hensall The annual rally of the Huron Presbyterial of the Women’s Mis­ sionary -Society of the Presby­ terian Church, Hensall, Septem­ ber 16, with a large delegation present. Mrs. C. Forrest read the scrip­ ture lesson. Mrs. G. Bissett, president, gave the opening ad­ dress, speaking on “Faith and Harvest”. She stressed that the present day world has, due to modern inventions, seemingly become much smaller that form­ erly and places that once seemed foreign and remote are now familiar. This means that mis­ sionary societies must broaden their vision and plans. There is great need today for better or­ ganization to meet present needs. More time and effort and in­ creased financial support must be given in order that natives can be educated to become spiri­ tual leaders in their own cojin- try and be more responsible for spreading the Gospel. Following the address there was a sesson of prayer given by Exeter, Clinton, Seaforth and Blyth auxiliaries. These prayers were intercessions to help the W.M.S. bring about increased in­ terest in missionary work; that a better understanding grow up between nations and special prayers for Miss Ida White and Miss MacDonald, who are on their way to India and Formosa. A welcome to the delegates was given by Mrs. C. Hudson, Hensall, and greetings from the Presbytery by Rev. Mr. Fox, of Hensall. At the afternoon session the devotional period was taken by Belgrave auxiliary. The address of the afternoon was given by Mrs. J. A. Elliott, of Ailsa Craig, and first vice- president of the Hamilton and London Synodical. She was a fluent speaker and her address was both informative and inter­ esting. She spoke of the purpose of the W.M.S. and stressed the need for greater vision. She said that the missionary societies were the aristocracy of the church. Methods of work may have changed but the founda­ tion remained the same. She also said a greater enemy to the work than communistic propa­ ganda is the indifference of church members to the great need for Christianity in the world today, when it may prove to be the turning point of civil­ ization. Let us not fail to hold the world for Christ, she said. A solo given by Mr. J. W. Bonthron. Hensall, was greatly appreciated as was a reading by Mrs. R. E. Wilson, Goderich, en­ titled “Hymns My Mother Sang”, A selection by some Hensall Mis­ sion Band children was also en-1 joyed.
