At this meeting it was decided to make an early start with the Christmas Bureau program under the chairmanship of Mrs. Bert Baechler, 99 Gloucester Terrace, East, Goderich. In past years, the Court House has been bedlam for weeks be- fore Christmas, with the Child- ren's Aid Society staff and volun- teers working sometimes until Christmas Eve to get parcels sorted and delivered. Then too, it has meant that anxious moth- ers have never known until the last minute if their children would really receive the much-needed parcels. To put an end to all this uncertainty and last minute rush, as well as the strain on December budgets, the Christ- mas Bureau has requested that all gifts and donations be at the Children's Aid Society head- quarters by November 15th, and all offers of help from individuals and Societies be made to the Board member in the districts listed below by that date. Names Grand Bend Orpha Club cele- brated ten years of service with an anniversary dinner at the home of Mrs. Kay Read with 33 mem- bers present and special guests, Miss Rachel Young of the Child- ren's Aid, Sarnia, and Miss Muriel Fallis, also of Sarnia. The Orpha Club originated from the desire of two local ladies, Miss Mary Yeo and Mrs. Gilbert Statton to take time from family and business responsibili- ties to do something for others. Their ideas were discussed with three other ladies, Mrs. Henry Green, Mrs. Lennea Station and Mrs. Avril Bristow and from this meeting the club took form. The name "Orpha Club" sug- gested by Mrs. Ken Young was the unanimous choice for th e Club's name. The first project for this club without funds was the collection of used toys and ,dolls that could be repaired and painted and these were equally divided between four groups: Children's Aid, Sarnia, Salvation Army, London and both the Protestant and Catholic Or- phans Home, London. A tea and fashion show was held in the town hall at Easter showing the girls' dresses, boys' outfits and baby layettes that the mem- bers had made since Christmas. Clothes were modelled by local children. With this project over the group Flag football this weekend Zone 3 flag football final takes place this weekend at RCAF Sta- tion Centralia.

Proceeds from this and the silver collection taken at the concert gave them the financial backing they needed. Since then they have financed their work with an oc- casional small raffle and dona- tions from local people and sum- mer residents. The club has several faithful homeworkers who as long as wool or sewing material is supplied by the club will finish the job. Per- haps the success of the Club can be attributed to the unselfish aim from which it was derived and the knowledge "within ourselves that we are in our own small way we are helping others."
