M. Snider, superintendent of nurses at Stratford General Hospital. She told the hospital board she had planned to start a training school for the assistants but has had only one application. The hospital at Wingham has a training school but most, of its gradu ates seem to go to the larger centres, Miss Snider said. At December, 1954, Canada’s popu lation was 15,410,000. its discovery by Columbus and fol lowing with the story of the different races and religions who have come to that island of wealthy natural re- At the July meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of Wingham Un ited Church, the study centred on Trinidad, that island off the coast of Venezuela, which has had a long as sociation with the church, through the Canadian Mission dating back to 1868.. Mrs. W. J. Adams was in charge of the meeting and gave a brief his tory of the island, commencing with sources. Wingham Church is particulary in terested in Trinidad, because working in the Canadian Mission are Rev. and Mrs. Jack Thompson. Mrs. Thompson was formerly Miss Tena Reid of this town, and especially for this meeting she sent a letter telling something of their life and work during the past year. She says they are now living in San Fernando where Mr. Thompson is doing field work, having oversight of five catechists with all their preaching stations, as well as being manager of four schools. Also in the absence of the principal, he is acting principal of the Theologi cal College with teaching and over sight of the students. Added to this, he. was put in charge of the new Audio-Visual Aid Unit and van which was sent down by the Overseas Board of Missions. This unit is very valua- .able to the work and requires special technical ability to operate it. As everything deteriorates so quickly in that climate, they feel that this unit should be used constantly, every day and night, if possible. Mrs. Thompson has charge of the church choir and says that there is no limit to the talent and enthusiasm of the young people where music is concerned. She teaches music in the Teachers’ Training College every week and is leader of the San Fer nando Ladies’ Choir, a group includ ing every religious denomination as well as Hindus and Moslems. Mrs. Thompson says these activities are made possible because she is able to secure very good and reliable help for the housework, required by a large family and a 14 room house. The Auxiliary appreciated the fact that Mrs. Thompson took time to write such an interesting letter. During the meeting, Mrs. made herself auxiliary was ably lettered certificate by Mrs. Roul- ston, president. It was reported that another bale of 400 pounds, valued at $300.00 had been sent to Overseas Relief. Mrs. W. W. Currie was at the piano and provided instrumental music during the meeting.
