On Sunday, Jute 30th., Brick United Church celebrats its 75th Anniver- sary, " This former Methodist Church has been used as place of worship for these 75 years, , ut its roots in East Wawanosh go ba• k to near the century mark. The first school in Wawanosh was built in 1846, and in that year Rev. Alex MdKidd, a Presbyterian minister, held in this school house the first reg- ular religious services. But the Metho- dist saddle-bag preachers were in the field before that 'year. On the farm now held by Mr. Allan Pattison, on the 12th concession of East Wawanosh and first cleared and' owned by a Mr. Reid, a little log church was erected and this belonged to the Wesleyan Methodist connection. It is interesting to note that the erec- tion of this church was a ,community effort, and of tiee four good axemen who did the corner work, some were Methodist, some i were Presbyterian, their names were Robert Currie, Ed. James, William Higgins, John Jack- son. Minieteriel visits were only occasion- al. At first the minister came front Toronto or Hamilton, and 'baptisms were done in. job lots. Mr. John 'I'. Currie, who will soon celebrate his 90th. birthday, was baptized in this little church.. On the same day six little "Johns" were baptized and it is interesting that two of those Johns are still alive the other being John Link- later, retired high school teacher of Napanee. In the possession of Mrs. W. Dow, is a register of the Methodist Class meeting which gcies back to 1856 and contains such names as Reid, Lemmix, Gibson, Drost, Shiells, Coad; Hanna, Jackson. The present building was erected in 1871 as more central for a fast-grow- ing community. It came into church union in 1925, and today serves a ro- bust and enthusiastic community. It has been re-decoratedO this year, but like many of our rural churches it could do a better community service, if it were better equipped, hydro and a basement. On Sunday, June 30th., at 11 a.m., and 8 p.m., (D.S.T.), Rev. James Scobie, 'a former minister, will preach. 'Wilfred Arthur, Receives Burns To Arms, Neck and Face A fire which might have had seeioes eonsequences occurred on Wednesday afternoon at Jack Reavie's Service Station, Wilfred Arthur, mechanic, "was applying heat to the rear end of a car, to loosen the rear springs, when the pit beneath the car burst into flames. Prior to this the gas tank had been removed, but fumes are believed to have ignited the oil in the pit. Prompt action by those at the Ser- •vice Station, kept the blaze under con- trol until the firemen arrived, who promptly extinguished it, damage was -slight. Wilfred received burns about the 'neck, face and arms, it was fortunate that he was not in the pit at the time, -or his injuries would have been much :more serious: His condition is much improved now, his face has cleared up, .and the swelling has gone down in his .arms, Will Train At Camp Ipperwasb, June 24th., to July 5th.

Will Supervise summer Camp "The Groves Were God's • First Temples" The June meeting of the local branch of the Women's Institute was held in the, United Church Sunday School room on Thursday afternoon, June 20th. In the absence of the president, the meeting was conducted by Mrs. R. DuVal. (The above quota- tion was the theme chosen for this meeting, dealing with Canada in partic- ular.) Several items of interest claim- ed the business part of the meeting. The following delegates were ap- pointed to attend the Dist. Annual Convention to be held in Auburn. Mrs. Hutchison and Mrs. C. Hopper. These together with Mrs. DuVal and Mrs. Keating, who by reason of their official position in the Institute were asked to attend. The free course offered each year by the Dept. was decided upon. The unanimous choice was Personality in Clothes. Further details as to time, etc., will be announced when known. A special plea was made by Mrs. Du- Val .for assistance to Clothing Drive. At the close of the business section, Mrs, DuYal in Mrs. Parker's absence, tendered a very special vote of thanks to MrS. Gordon Hastie for her splen- did war work through the Institute, This was heartily applauded by all present. Mrs. • Hastie very humbly claimed that what she accomplished was possible only because of her faith- ful helpers. Personally we think Mrs. Hastie alone was responsible for many an extra mile. The "entertainment portion of the meeting was opened by Leslie Mae Wall's playing of Schumann's Rom- ance in F sharp. She also played some patriotic number's in the absence of Jim Hall. The members appreciated Leslie's willingness to "pinch-hit". *- Mrs, Geo. Ross, president of the Horticultural Society spoke of the work of her society throughout the year. Some of the projects were— work on the town park, boulevard planting, prizes for bird houses. She gave some excellent suggestions for continuous bloom, in the perennial 'bor- der, also the building and planting of a rock garden. In closing she grac- iously offered suitable plants from her own rock garden: Mrs. DuVal was the chief speaker, and gave an all-too-brief outline of "The Unknown Country" by Bruce Hutcheson. She spoke of points of interest in each province. We are sorry space, forbids us to repeat her address. She spoke. of Quebec as our own mother province, settled years be- fore the rest of Canada existed, wise and old and so often misunderstood. Of our own Ontario, she. spoke of the beautiful Peace Tower, symbolic of the future and Brock's monument, and in closing of a• chapter in which we and United States were always distrustful of 'each other, In passing she remind- ed us of the long unguarded internat- ional Boundary, a condition 'existing no where else in the world. Just as the time set was far too short -for the speaker so a lifetime said the author was far too short for a Canadian to know his beloved Canada. In the re- porter's opinion it is an excellent book excellently reviewed by Mrs. DuVal. The members sang "0 Canada" and the roll call was answered by the name of a well known Canadian woman. A pleasant informal time was then spent •during which a lovely luncheon was served by the hostesses. DANCE AT ROYAL T Destroy Noxious Weeds To the citizens of Turnberry.

The Lions played hosts to their wiv- es and friends at their final meeting for the season on Friday evening, at the Queen's Grill. Past president Lion Will French was in charge. To get the meeting off to a doubtful start he called on the three Lions who came. stag, Clarence Richey, Stewart Beattie and Cliff McAvoy, for a trio, and they sure rendered it. Hoping that some improvement might be shown, he caled on the two bankers, Lions Bob Hob- den and Clayt. Gammage for a duet. and someone unkindly suggested that they sing the robber's song. Finding this was no improvement, he tried a quartette of Gord Buchanan, Art, Irwin, Howard Sherbondy and John McKibbon, enough is to say they gave an encore upon their own re- quest. Realizing that the Lions themselves were not going to bring the meeting tip to the standard he had hoped, he requested four ladies, Mrs. Sherbondy, Miss Doe, Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. McCool to give a number, Feeling that at last lie had achieved success, he called on the guest artists of the evening, Miss Leslie Mae_ Wall, who favored with two piano solos, and Mr. Allan Phillips who sang two, pleasing solos, "The Hills of Home" and "I Heard a Forest Praying", Lion Hal MaeLcan took charge of the installation of officers, and the newly elected president, Lion John McKibbon spoke briefly on his hopes and aims for the coming year. Lion Cord Buchanan conducted an. amusing contest, and were Mary and Wilber's faces red' when the blindfold was taken off? The final number on tile program. was a debate on a -much disputed ques- tion, when Lion Bob Hobden took the affirmative on "Resolved that a hue. band should help his wife with the dishes". Lion Art Irwin offered vig- trot's. opposition. Three ladies acted as judges and brought in a biased dee, ision in the 'opinion of the Lions, when they awarded the' honours to the affir, 'reative. Lion Stan Hall moved a vote of thanks 'to all who had taken part lit the evening's entertainment, The following students have been promoted from Grade IX to Grade X: Class 1 (75% and over) Jim Cummins, Muriel Brydges, Bill Johnston, Mary" Louise Beninger, Joan Bushfield, Jim Irwin, Vivian Ernest, Doris Shiell, Joan Hiseler, Ruth Mac- han, Doreen Elliott. 4 Class II (66%-74% ) Edna Higgins, Laura IVIc Burn ey, Lorne Metcalfe, Marjorie Copeland, Marjorie Haden, Irene King, Lloyd Anderson, Wilford Shiell.
