The October meeting of the W, I.
was held in the council chamber. There
was a large attendance with members
of Belgrave W. I. as guests. The meet-
ing opened with the Ode and the Mary
Stewart Collect,
It was gratifying to hear the report
of the canvas for the blind, as $252
was collected and„ the Institute is most
grateful to the boys and girls, who
did the tagging. A report on the cook-
ing school was given also and it was
decided to ask for the government
grant as usual. A donation of $25.00
was voted to the Wingham General
Hospital.
Mrs. R, Mowbray and Mrs. J. Ern-
est were in charge of the program, it
being Grandmothers' Day. The motto,
"Growing old gracefully," was taken
by Mrs, W. J. Henderson. The guest
'speaker was Mr. Peter Fisher, who
did some reminiscing and also recited
a great many poems of his own com-
posing. Some of these were about fam-
iliar spots along our own country
roads which are beautiful and have
become common place to many who
pass by them often. Mr. Fisher's ad-
dress had a wealth of humour and
touches of pathos which audibly af-
fected his audience many times and
was most thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone.
Eight ladies of Belgrave, gave two
musical numbers and wore costumes
of days gone by. All joined in commun-
ity singing and Mrs. Campbell read a
, poem by Edna Jacques. Prizes were
given to the oldest grandmother pre-
sent, Mrs. Chas Martin; the youngest,
Mrs. Wm, Henderson and the one with
the largest number of grandchildren,
Mrs. S. Murray. The roll call was
answered by a verse from an old
school book, At the close of the meet-
ing lunch was served by the hostesses.
The day previous to this meeting the
members of Wingham W. I. were en-
tertained by the Wroxeter ladies at
their meeting and they had a most
enjoyable afternoon. The special
speaker was Mrs. Guthrie Reid, of
Teeswater, who spoke on "Publicity."

.Fprdwieb, en Tuesday afternoon for
Rev. G. D. 'Vegan at Trinity Church,
Wm, Ferguson; who died Saturday
Funeral service was conducted •
night at the home of his eon, Ent-
merson, near Lakelet at the age of
83. Interment was in, .Gorrie cent
teey.
Mr, Ferguson was born in Howick
township, a son of the late Mr. and
Mrs, Robt.. Ferguson, had farmed in
the Lakelet district for many years be-
fore retiring to Clifford. For the last
few years he had been living at Lake-
His wife, the former Lizzie Mont-
gomery, predeceased him in 1947. Sur-
viving are one son, Emmerson, of
lialtelet; and three daughters, Miss
Aggie; Mrs. Wm, (Elda) Horsburg,
and Mrs, Ed (Margaret) Watson. all
of Holstein; also one sister Mrs, John
Montgomery Gorrie.
Mr, Ferguson was a member of the
Anglican Church and of the L.O.L.
Anniversary services at. St. And-
rew's Presbyterian church drew large
numbers of the congregation and visit-
itors to hear the guest speaker, Rev.
Geo. L. Douglas, and to help St. And-
rew's observe its birthday.
Rev, Douglas, who is a graduate of
Wingham District High School, was
first introduced as a candidate for
the minister in this same church by
Rev, C. H. MacDonald and it was Dr.
D, Perrie who arranged for his first
sermon in Bluevale.
His morning sermon "On Not Going
to Church" was built around the re-
sults of a Gallop poll through Canada
showing Canadian church-going hab-
its. It was startingly to learn that
only 51 per cent of those interviewed
attend church at least once a week,
16 percent go once or twice a month,
32 per cent go occasionally or never
and 1 per cent gave no answer.
The highest church, attendance- was
credited to the Roman Catholie church
with 85 per cent attending church
every Sunday, Ariglicans and United
Church members showed 32 percent
and other Protestant denominations
3 per cent. A survey of Canada, pro-
vince by province, shows Quebec lead-
ing the church parade with 84 per
cent. attending every Sunday, the
Maritimes 53 per cent, Ontario 47 per
cent, Prairie Provinces 28 per cent,
and British Columbia 23 per cent.
Some of .the reasons why people
don't go to church, as revealed by the
speaker, were very interesting, A small
group of 5 percent didn't need the
church or religion, 22 per cent were
indifferent, 1 per cent didn't like the
miivister, 9 per cent were too busy to
go to church, 7 per cent had children
to look after and 7 per cent had to
sleep in.
Rev. Douglas then pointed out the
only real reason for going to church
was to worship. "Many ask why is
there so much paganism, cruelty and
injustice in the world to-day and so
little evidence of Christian living in
our day to day lives," he stated. "Every
generation has to rhake its mistakes
and learn the hard way and every
generation has to be converted to
Jesus Christ," was his answer to this
question.
The Bible is a book for warriors and
it should be read on the march under
the banner of Christ," was his state-
ment. "Some of you come her only
on an Anniversary and won't be here
again until Christmas." His closing
words were, "We must get rid of the
very latest vestige of allegiance to
ourselves and our surrender to Him
must be complete and final, before -we
receive that peace which passeth all
understanding."
In the evening his sermon was
based on "None but the Lonely Heart."
Special anniversary music was render-
ed by the choir under the direction of
Harold Victor Pym and the guest solo-
ist, Mr. Earl Dick, of Toronto. Rev.
Douglas that-aced the choir and the
soloist for their fine efforts and point-
ed out how necessary it is to have a
choir.

At a largely attended organizational
meeting of Wellingteri-Huron Pro-
gressive Conservative Association in
Arthur town hall on Friday night,
October 17th, it Was eleelded to hold
a) federal nominating convention in
Harriston in. November, Q. Fraser
Smith, of Arthur, preiiided, and was
elected the, first piTeldent of the
Wellington-Huron Association, with
Win. Maedel of FergiuS, 1st vice-pres.;

Ex-M.P., of Grand Valley, now in
Dufferin-Simeoe by the latest redis-
tribution, and John ficot, a/1,P.P., of
Orton, now in S. Wellington federally.
Referring to the new riding bound-
aries.- Mr. Cardiff said "The govern;
merit tried to make me the goat;
however, I have survived previous
gerrymendere and will this one," He
termed the present Ottawa adminis-
tration "an expensin. government."
The Minister of Finance has been in
office for 2,138 days and has collected
from Canadians 2,199 million dollars,
or over $1,000,000 a day in excess of
needs, "When we, the Opposition,
suggested an Empire trade confer-
ence, we were cried down; now, when
the British market ,has been lost,
they're having one," he said, No one
had objected to the Government
providing a Prime iVfinistere resi-
dence, the %Huron lyr.P, said, but
the money spent on it had gone ii
beyond all reason; early $600,000
has gone into it, wit other $50,000
spent on sodding alone, This inci-
dent, in itself, would' be enough to
unseat any government, he felt, Civil
servants have increased so alarmingly
in numbers that work in many offices
is difficult to carry on. He cited the
case of one stenographer who on her
first day had but one, letter to type,
on the second day two; the third day
she resigned as she was a hard-
working type. Mr. Cardiff concluded:
"This government has been in power
far too long—we will never get our
taxes down until they are removed
from office,"
Conveners for the newly created
riding were elected, as follows:
Howick, Knowlson Hneston, Gorrie;
Turnberry, Elgin Johnston, R.R.,

buyers, that, before five o'clock, the-

empty, and when the money was coun-
ted there was a total of $$7e.40. This
was an increase over a year ago.
All sorts of articles were there, from
a fur coat to a pair of ear-rings, and
from a rocking-chair to an African
violet. The donations began coming in
on Friday morning, and all day, mem-
bers of the Auxiliary were busy sort-
ing and marking, More than 600 hang-
ers were used for the coats and dress-
es, and 10 sales people were needed to
dispose of the goods. All these things
are given by the people of Wing,ham
and vicinity, Many town merchants
are very generous sending new articles
of clothing and merchandise.
The tea room upstairs was well pat-
ronized and added a social touch to
the sale. Tickets were sold on a tur-
key and the lucky winner was Miss
Sarah MacLean. The second prize was
a hand-knitted sweater, donated by
Mrs. Moszkowski, and this went to
Mrs. Nelson Cunningham.
These Rummage Sales are held
twice a year by the Hospital Auxiliary
and are fast becoming community
events. They are the Auxiliary's chief
money raising scheme and the pro-
