Hear of Problems In Hong Kong Mrs. Alan Pattison and Miss Agnes Wallace received mem- bers and guests at a well atten- ded meeting of groups 5 and 6 of United Church Women of the Wingham United Church, held in the Sunday school room on Tuesday of last week. Mrs. W. J. Greer conducted the worship service on the theme "Launching Out". Mrs. Frank Hopper read the Scripture lesson. Mrs. Richard Chamney led in prayer. Mrs. Greer gave an excellent talk on Hong Kong and the prob- lems created by the million and a half refugees there. Mrs. D. S. MacNaughton and Mrs. Norman Keating sang a duet, "The Lord's My Shepherd". The leader, Mrs. W. J. Roulston, took charge of the business. Monthly reports and the treasurer's statement were read. Mrs. Victor Haines gave a temperance reading. The 1963 allocation of supplies was read. 9 ale Isbister gave the Scripture and commentary, A poem "God Calls Still", was read by Mrs. J.

Rae, The study book, " The Rim of East Asia" was very ably in- troduced by Miss V, McLaugh- lin and Mrs. J. Smith. They brought out the fact that these countries are widely scattered and have a small area, but have a population of 38, 000, 000 people, of whom almost half are refugees, This fact alone created a great problem. These countries are still open to the church and since the people, as all men, are equal in God's sight, it is the church's duty, of East Asia through a powerful faith, to he a centre of healing and un- derstanding to them. The problems are tremendous and we at home, should be much in prayer for our work in East Asia. After the singing of a hymn, Mrs. H. Aitchison closed with prayer. OES Bridge The members of the Eastern Star held a dessert bridge in the Legion Home last Wednes- day afternoon, with 25 tables in play. The Valentine theme was carried out in the decora- tions.

Mrs. Ken Currie wor the lucky tally. $65,000 Offer Reported on Site Of Once Famous Summer Resort GODERICH—Site of the once famous Point Farm Hotel, four miles north of Goderich, gets into the news after many years through a reported offer of $65, 000 to Point Farm Develop. ment, Limited, for something like 135 acres on the lake shore west of Highway 21. The Bis- set family, which acquired the land in 1937, discounted the report, saying no serious nego- tiation for sale had taken place. Point Farm, while operated MEAT FEATURES 1 LB.

Wright, an aristo- cratic little Englishman, was a popular summer resort, patro- nized by hundreds of guests an- nually from Michigan and On- tario cities. The hotel accom- modated as many as 150, and its dining room could seat 300. Joe Wright operated a bus from Goderich Grand Trunk station, and for a time a boat from Goderich harbor. He kept a telegraph office in operation for the convenience of guests. When numerous other resorts sprung up in this area, patron- age dwindled and in due time the place was closed and the buildings razed. The land, in Concession XI of Colborne Township, was part of the Canada Company grant, and like many other parcels in the area, wasowned for a time by the Baron de Tuyle, a Belgian. Lot 8, on which the hotel was probably built, was acquired by the baron in 1840. He mortgaged it to the Bank of Upper Canada and released his interest to the Bank in 1842. The Bank sold it to Wright and his wife in 1862. They gave a mortgage, which in 1880 was forclosed on part of the land. Lot 9, apparently 1112 acre was acquired by Wright in 1870 from Hon. D. McDonald(who- ever he may have been). A mortgage was foreclosed in 1872. The resort was still operat- ing at the turn of the century, but little trace remains. There seems to be no connection be- tween the currently reported offer and the announced inten- tion of the Ontario Government to lay out a provincial park near Goderich, Low Baby Prams Are Dangerous How many mothers give a thought to the air breathed by their children, as they push them about in prams? Almost all are probably quite happy to be outdoors, tak- ing exercise themselves and giving their babies some fresh air. But according to experi- ments carried out by a medi- cal research team in Hungary, the degree of fresh air, obtain- ed by babies depends funda- mentally on the height of the pram's floor above ground. Doctors, as a result, con- dernn low-level prams as suit- able baby carriers in busy ur- ban areas. Babies thus tran- sported, they say, absorb un- fair and perhaps dangerous con- centrations of diesel and gaso- line fumes in their delicate lungs. Altogether, if was found that babies wheeled around in fash- ionable low prams breathed in twenty percent more carbon monoxide and street dust than those lying in high prams. Start Day With Good Breakfast No one can afford to start the day off without breakfast. Nutritionists feel that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Children will be more alert and attentive in school, workers will attack their jobs with more vigor, and weight watchers will find it much eas- ier to stick to their diet if they start the day with a good break- fast. A good breakfast should be high in protein and an easy way to get a good quality protein is to eat an egg. But there are other good sources that can be served for breakfast. Bacon, ham, sausage or hamburg pat- ties served with whole wheat pancakes make a substantial start for the day's activities. A whole grain cereal served with milk makes an excellent combination, giving protein and important B vitamins. Tomato juice or vitaminized apple juice should be served sometime during the day and because of their tangy good taste, most people enjoy them for breakfast. So set a good example for your children; ear a good break- fast! MISS BESSIE McMURCHY spoke and showed pictures at St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church on Friday evening, on her work as a missionary in India. Miss McMurchy is director of the Graduate School for Nurses at Indore. She has been in Canada since last year and is taking a course at the University of Western Ontario for a Master's Degree in the Science of Nursing. When she returns to India she will be entering her final term, after about 30 years in the mission field. Miss McMurchy was a guest at the home of Miss Mae Wil- liamson, left, from Friday to Sunday. They are friends of long standing, hav- ing lived together some years ago while serving as missionaries in India. Home Ownership Involves Several Legal Documents The purchase of a house us- ually involves the preparation of at least three legal docu- ments. They include an offer to purchase, a transfer oftitle to the land, and acceptance of the mortgage debt by the pur- chaser. The offer to purchase is a written contract which states that the owner agrees to sell and the buyer to buy, and binds both parties to the agreed terms and conditions. The offer to purchase usual- ly includes all necessary des- criptions, the purchase price and terms of payment, the dates on which the deal is to be closed and when the buyer will obtain possession of the house. In all this your lawyer will see Teeswater Guest At Rainbow Club The regular meeting of the Rainbow Club was held in the town hall Tuesday of last week, with Marjorie Jensen presiding. The meeting opened with the members repeating the Housewife's Creed and the Lord's prayer in unison. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The treasurer's report was given and roll call was answered by 26 members and several visitors. Thank you cards were received from Mrs, Hutchison, Mrs. Hugh Sinnamon, Mrs. Ted Barnes and a card of apprecia- tion from Mrs, Stella Cowan. Hostesses for the March meeting are Verna King, Win- nie Lott, Iris Purdon, Eva Carr and Laura Gowdy. Members agreed to purchase a wedding present for Mr. Cartier, the London Free Press public ser- vice supervisor. It was moved by Mrs. Elston and seconded by Mrs. Blatchford to send a card and roses to Mrs. Town, who is having a birthday this month and is ill in the hospital. Mrs. Drehmann, Mrs. Nicol and Mrs. Jensen reported visits to sick and shut-ins. Final plans were made for the euchre that is to be held the middle of February at the council chambers. Mrs. Ruth Moore of Tees - water displayed her jewellry, with several ladies acting as models. A lovely lunch brought the evening to a close. that your interests are protected. He will also make sure that the document covers the apportion- ing of taxes, and fire insurance coverage from the time your responsibility in the property begins. He will also check on the cost of services such as wa- ter, sewer and roads. These may be included in the pur- chase price or you may be re- quired to pay them through in- creased taxes over a period of years. There is more to an "offer to purchase" than the average person realizes. That is why it pays to have a lawyer looking after your interests at this point. Your lawyer searches the title and is personally respons- ible to see that you have clear title to the land. This title will be confirmed by the issu- ance of a "Deed of Convey- ance of the Title to Land" in your name. The third essential docu- ment must be signed when clos- ing the deal. The purchaser is then required to agree in writ- ing to accept the mortgage debt unless, of course, he can pay for the property in cash, a privilege that very few people can afford. The legal procedures are similar if you are buying a house which is in the process of being built, though in this case you should obtain a written agreement covering the work to be completed. This agreement should include a clause identi- fying the working drawings and specifications according to which the house is being con- structed. The person who plans onbuy- ing a lot on which to build a house should see a lawyer be- fore he purchases the land. The legal documents in this case will include, in addition to those we have already discuss- ed, a survey of the land, a building permit and a building contract. Your lawyer can ar- range to obtain the building permit from local authorities. The building contract with the builder is also an import- ant document since it provides essential protection for the home -owner. This contract should identify the parties con- cerned, contain a description of the work to be done and the amount and method of payment Reference should also be made to the working drawings and specifications and the right and responsibilities of both parties. The lawyer may also be res- ponsible for making progress advances to the builder; in other words, paying out port- ions of the mortgage money to the builder as the various stages of construction are completed. You can arrange with your law- yer for him to see that enough funds are withheld to cover any workman's or mechanic's lien against the property. What is a lien, you might ask? A lien is simply a claim against the property by the workmen or suppliers to cover goods or services unpaid by the builder.
