ST. PAUL'S CHOIR HELD BANQUET Wingham United Church Responds To Appeal In response to the appeal from the Canadian Council of Churches for Overseas Relief, the Wingham United Church has made a very generous re- sponse. The Woman's Missionary Soc- iety and the Evening Auxiliary held several work meetings at which they made 20 quilts and many articles of children's clothing. They also collected a quantity of second hand clothes for adults and children. As a result they packed twelve large boxes valued at $450.00. In addition to this, an offer- ing was taken in the church, amount- ing to $500.00. Part of this money was sent to the "Save the Children Fund," and a donation was given to the relief of Overseas Ministers, who lost most of their libraries and personal belong- ings during the war.
