Huesca gave aver of which was sage, the subject "Singing at Midnight," centering his sermon on the scene of the Upper Room and after the Supper was ended Jesus foretold the tra- gedies that were to come and of His death, The scene was one of unrelieved gloom and consternation as He reminded His disciples that one of them would betray Him. Then Re led them in the singing of a hymn and they went out into the night to preOch the grim events that were to lead to the crucifixion. That song sung at midnight with His disciples was a song of de- liverance in the midst of trouble and into their dark nignt of sorrow they' went with a " song in their hearts. Mr. Russet- said that. this 'has been the halmark of Christianity, that the message of Jesus Christ and His love has enabled people 'to face their midnight situations with a song in their hearts. Trouble may come, the darkness may de- scend upon us, but always there comes in the midst of our situa- tions the presence of God through Christ to grant us the strength,to face our Calvaries with the song of victory and 'to win -through to the resurrection of a new day.

The number of passes for Wing- ham Club was 69,44% of those who tried. Those 'who failed this year should not feel discouraged as Many of those, who passed several this year, were among those who Sailed last yeat. Two very good reasons why Wingham Club had more tests passed than Kincardine are the fact that we have twice the ice time and two 'professionals, while they have only one. Feet of the local skaters began trial judging for the first -time. After they do this three times, the Club may apply 'to' have them ap- pointed as judges. If appointed, they could judge preliminary tests here and then, import judges for the higher ones, Thus tests could be run Oa two days, and avoid the coagestion. The committee thatiks- Mrs. ReaVie for billetting a judge; Mrs. Spry, Mrs, Willie and Mrs. Reed for sandwiches and coffee served to judges, trial judges and test of- ficials and to Mr. Halloway for resurfacing the ice when 'needed. ~1r1tOX1dkI", i. 8101111 nouns Starting April, -stores will be open Wednesday and Saturday nights and closed 'Thursday afternoon.

This information was contained in the report of Clerk-Treasurer John G. Berry at the one-day March session held last week, He said that the increase is required chiefly to cover higher costs of welfare payments, which include child welfare, hospitaliza- tion and county home costs. The rate for 1961 will be an even 14 Mills, split equally between county highways and general funds, The 14 mills will raise a .total of $850,510. It is expected that there will be surplus of some $22,- 000 at the -end of 1961, with total revenues Placed at $1,534224, Las' year's surplus was slightly in ex- cess of $10,000. Road expenditures are not ex- -peeled to run as high this year as they did in 1060, chiefly became" of the completion of the developMent road front "Myth to 'Dunlop, The balance of this project which re- mains to be done in 1961 will be covered by an expenditure Of $75,- 000. Total highways 'expenditures will be $1,022,000. Construction of bridges and •eulverts will require $170;000; roads, 026,000; new equipment, $60,000; miscellaneous bridges and roads, $350,00. Welfare Payntents Mr. Berry said that a total of $105,000 will be spent on welfare of all types. He said the rising cost of these services is due in large part to the general increase in cost of living, which sharply affects the child welfare services. The county health unit will re- quire $46,000 compared with $43,- 541 last year. A sum of $50,000 has been budgeted for the set-aside fund nut of Which payments- will later be made to the municipalities where new hospitals or additions to existing ones are erected. This fund already contains $55,000, Other expenditures mentioned in the budget were $4,845 for educa- tion; $7,030 forngricultural grants and $4,100 for other purposes. New Agteetnent Another Rent of 'business dealt with by the council was the Pei- provel of a new agreement With the provincial department of Lands anti Forests, whereby grants are made available for the purchase of reforestation plots. The existing plots • will be transferred to within the structure of the new arrangement. Council also approved the ap- pointment of three tree-cutthig commissioners: ViWilliam tiougalL Hernia; 'Hugh Hill, Gedericit, and, Borden Scott, R. R. 1. telgraVe.
