B, Cousins, chairman of the Hospital Board, and Miss Edna Carr, R. N„ assistant director of nursing. M 3 p.m. over 60 ladies were present for the Auxiliary meeting which was held in the nurses' residence with Mrs. J. W. English presiding. Mr. Cousins extended a warm wel- come to the three visitors on behalf of the Hospital Board and stressed how much the hos- pital needs an auxiliary. Mrs. C. D. Lloyd entertained with a lovely solo, "A May Morning", by Weatherly, in which she was accompanied at the piano by H. C. Treneer. Mrs. W. Murchison read the minutes of the March meeting and Mrs. D. C. Nasmith, trea- surer, presented her reports for March, April and May. It was announced that the graduation for the Certified Nursing Assis- tants would take place on July 5th. The A.'xiliary voted to provide a pr.! ,e for general pro- ficiency and r dinner for the graduating c. ass. The meeting also decided that the Auxiliary will purchase equipment which will enable patients in the hos- pital to have their hair washed and dried. Mrs. Nasmith introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. C. W. Sheridan, who in turn introduced her co -officers, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Bowes, to the group. In her talk Mrs. Sheri- dan emphasized the fact that ;the aim of hospital auxiliaries is to help hospitals to give the best patient care possible. She stressed the changing trends of 'current times. In the early days of auxiliary work only a few set- vices ervices were offered. Now there is great variety, not only in types of assistance given as re- lated to services, public rela- tions and fund-raising, but also in the type of volunteers, men, women and teenagers. It was pointed out that, while fund- raising is only one avenue of service, it is an important one as it is only through bequests and auxiliary donations that the hospital can procure many de- sirable pieces of equipment. Its regular income is all mark- ed for specific purposes, Atten- tion was drawn to the remark- able growth of volunteer in- service, which has taken place in recent years.

He was introduced by Coun- for good in the hospital and community," the speaker said. "Be enthusiastic and convey it;' To illustrate some of the new, kinds of services rendered by many auxiliaries Mrs, Sheridan showed slides taken in various Ontario hospitals, some large, some small, Through experi- mentation and imagination these Auxiliaries have success- fully entered new fields.

The contest was under the chairmanship of Lorne Rodges with Don Brown acting as mas- ter of ceremonies. The speak- er, Russel Bradbum, of the dairy branch of the Department of Agriculture, complimented the girls on their efforts, and pointed up the importance of the dairy industry. Simon Hallahan of near Blyth was the owner of the cows used for the demonstration, with Surge milking machines being used. The winner received a rib- bon, and was crowned on the trade fair stage. She received a $10.00 cheque from Harold Elliott; president of the Bluevale Concentrated Milk Producers on behalf of the Bluevale Local Milk Producers. TRACTOR RODEO The other new feature of the fair which was of interest to both rural and urban people, was the tractor rodeo under the chairmanship of Kin Fred Tem- pleman. The event was billed as a three -stage show, the juniors competing on Thursday, the ladies on Friday and the seniors and grandchampionship on Sat- urday. It was a well run pro- gram but no entries were forth- coming for the ladies' division. Prizes were donated by the Can- adian Imperial Bank of Com- merce and the Toronto-Domin- Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, June 13, 1963 -- Page 6 features from The World of Women P SONAL --Mrs, W.

Senior winners were Sydney Thomp- son, Peter Newans, Bill Jeffrey and Jim Scott. In the final event for the grandchampion- ship, Jim Scott of Blyth won the award. The rodeo consisted of a dif- ficult driving course with a trac- tor pulling a wagon. The dri- ver was scored on the way he handled the tractor, and on a time basis. Each had to nego- tiate the equipment around a course marked by steel posts that left only inches of room for the wagon to pass through. After completing the course there was the problem of back- ing the wagon into a narrow area, unhooking and backing the tractor into the narrow start- ing tarting gate. The rodeo was witnessed by a good crowd of people at each stage, and would appear to be a popular event, which may well become a regular feature of the fair, OTES and Mrs. Jean Town of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sander- son of Stratford, Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Hudson of Palmerston, Mr. and Mrs. George Town and family of Owen Sound, Mr. and Mrs. James Helesic and Marijo of Goderich visited over the week -end with Mr, and Mrs. Lloyd Elliott and family. —Miss Carol Walsh was transferred from Victoria Hospi- tal, London, last Friday to the Wingham & District Hospital and is corning along nicely. —Dave Crothers and Ed Rich attended the 16th Elgin Regi- mental reunion in Woodstock on Saturday and Sunday. —Miss Marlene Stainton and Bill Davechuck of Toronto spent the week -end with the former's parents, Mr, and Mrs. Percy Stainton and Barbara. --Miss Faye Yeo, daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Sparling Yeo, has been successful in passing her hairdressing course with the highest marks in the class, from the Bruno School of Hair Design in London. —Mr. and Mrs, Lyle Reidt and Stephanie of Willowdale spent the week -end with her mother, Mrs. Roy MacDonald. —Mr. and Mrs. John Isaac of Oil Springs visited with friends in Wingham over the week -end. —Mr, and Mrs. Cooper Ne- thery and Miss Mary Isabel Ne- thery of Belgrave, Mrs. M.

JOHN L. CRAWFORD Newly Ordained Minister Preaches at Anniversary The congregation of the Wingham United Church joined the members of the Sunday School at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the found- ing of these Sunday servicesfor children. Rev. C. M. Jardine presided for the service and ex- plained that in 1863 the Metho- dists of the district began to hold services in Lower Wing - ham, in a room over Joseph Hack's tannery. The Sunday School's history carried on with the enlarged congregation in the first church built in 1867 on Victoria Street; in 1874 in the first Minnie Street church and in the present brick building erected in 1901 where the aver- age attendance is over 200. Many baskets of flowers, ar- ranged by the U.C.W. , decor- ated the church. The Sunday School members entered in pro- cessional to occupy the central pews for the service. Bonnie McTaggart gave the invocation prayer and Bob McKay read the Scripture lesson. Special Mu- sic was arranged by H. C. Tre- neer for the intermediate and junior choirs, who filled the choir loft in their white gowns. The joint choirs sang "The Lord Is My Shepherd" and the juniors rendered "The Hymns of the Old Church Choir". In the latter Patricia Zurbrigg, Joan Bennett, Marilyn Tiffin and Barbara Hetherington formed a quartette. A lovely duet, "Whispering Hope", was sung by Lynda Reavie and George Jardine. A special feature was the promotion of the 3 -year-old children from the Nursery De- partment to the Primary Depart- ment epartmeet of the Sunday School. Mrs, S. Beattie ushered the wee tots through the white gates and Russell Zurbrigg re- ceived them, The theme of the Sunday School Anniversary was "Stand- ing up for Jesus." The congre- gation was especially pleased to have the Rev. John L, Craw- ford as the guest preacher on this first Sunday following his ordination in First -St. Andrew's United Church, London, on Thursday, June 6, by the Lon- don Conference. He caught the attention of all by construct ing a "badge of faith". This is the invisible badge worn by all Christians and he encouraged the young people to wear this in their hearts as they all stand together for Jesus in all places, Rev. John L. Crawford times and occupations. The triangular badge has on it a tree as the symbd'1 of continu- ing growth and the cross has the central place. Following the service Mr. Jardine asked Mr. Crawford to remain while presentations were made to him. Congratu• lations and best wishes were extended to as he begins his ministry. G, W. Tiffin pre- sented a minister's record book on behalf of the Official Board and Stewart Beattie presented a projector on behalf of the con- gregation. Wilford Caslick thanked John for his continued interest in the Sunday School and gave him a screen for the projector from that group. He was assured of continued inter- est and prayers for a very happy and fruitful ministry. John and his bride-to-be will be serving at Cape Croker, in Bruce Pres- bytery of the Hamilton Confer- ence. It was indeed fitting that the Sunday School and congrega- tion close its 100th anniversary service by looking to the future.
