Palmerston's weekly paper came in
for a bit of kidding from the London
Free Press lately. It seems that a
line appeared in a business adver-
tisement which read as follows: "Cor-
respondence in connection with coun-
ty business should be addressed to the
warden or the Shorthorn bulls of top
quality." Guess the bulls are educated
in Palmerston.

MEMBER URGES
FREE HEART CLINICS
Free heart clinics throughout the
province were again advocated in the
Ontario Legislature by John W.
Hanna, MPP, last week. Establish-
ment of these clinics has ,been a
favourite objective of Mr. Hanna,

Park since 1943.

establish heart clinics throughout the
province where people unable to pay
but suffering from heart ailments,
would get the necessary medical at-
tention needed to save many lives.
His speech was well received and
drew a great deal of applause. John
Hanna is known in the Legislature
as, "the man everyone likes."
"I'll admit I am a member of the
"Ginger Group," stated Mr. Hanna,
"but what we suggest is in the in-
terests of the people." He also aorn-
mended the Government for its ad-
vanced social legislation and pre-
dicted a better deal in the future for
the people of Ontario from the Frost
administration.
Another of his suggestions was
that Toronto members should visit a
few fall fairs to learn how rural
people live and think.

Missionary from Korea
Is, Sunday Speaker
The Woman's Missionary Society
of Wingham United Church had
charge of the church service on Sun-
day morning, it being their Easter
Thankoffering, Mrs. Colin Fingland.
'who had arranged the programme on
Korea, conducted the service. Rev.
W. A. Beecroft, D,D., introduced and
welcomed the speaker, Mrs. Burbridge
of Scotland, Ont., who had served as
a missionary in Korea for several
years.
Her stories of life in that area
during the Communist occupation
were interesting and enlightening,"iand
made everyone conscious of the little
that is being done in this land of
plenty to' assist those suffering mil-
lions. Mrs. Burbridge said that it
did not take words to tell the people
of Korea the difference between Com-
munists and Christians. One just had
to see the difference in their treat-
ment of children. The Christians
clothed' and fed them, the Commun-
ists tortured and massacred them.
She said there are three phases of
missionary activity carried on among
the refugees; work among the orphan
children, work in the schools' and
work in the prisoner of war camps.
This all requires money and clothing.
The theme 'of Easter was carried
out at the front of the church. In the
centre was a white cross and open
Bible, with candles and spring flow-
ers on either side. Above all was the
motto of the W.M.S. which is, "The
World for Christ". This was all
arranged by the Evening Auxiliary.
The music was provided by a choir
of members of the Afternoon Aux-
iliary, the Evening Auxiliary, and the
Young Women's Auxiliary, under the
leadership of Mrs. W. W. Currie. A
double quartette, "All Hail the power
of Jesus' Name", was given by Mrs.
E. Shera, Mrs. N. Keating, Mrs. Geo.
Guest, Miss C, Wellwood, Mrs. Carl
Bondi, Mrs. A. W. Irwin, Mrs. E. S.
Copeland and Mrs. C. Blythe; and a
trio composed of Mrs. E. Shera, Mrs.
Geo. Guest and Mrs. C. Blythe sang,
"Sweet Hour of Prayer".
Six members of the Young Wo-
men's Auxiliary: Mrs, A. Green, Mrs.
Allan Walker,Mrs. W. Caslick, Mrs.
Wallace Nixon, Mrs. S. J. Walker and
Miss Mildred Thornton acted as
ushers.
At the close of the service, Mrs.
Roulston, president of the W.M.S.
thanked the speaker and received
the offering. Dr. Grierson from Lon-
desboro, also a returned missionary
from Korea, assisted in the service.
