Flowers were placed in the church by Miss Marguerite Johns, in memory of her sister, Miss Phyllis Johns. The entire floral arrangement for the ser- vice was also a memorial to Miss Johns who, for many years, was a faithful worker in church and Sunday School.

Those promoted to the Sunday School were Sandra Anger, Sheila Jo- anne Burke, Robbie Campbell, Dwight Edwards, Lori Ann Goodall, Kenneth Clare Hop- per, Reuben Charles Jacklin, Jeffrey Ian MacLaurin, Carol- ine Jane McClure, Kevin Rod- erick Netterfield, Deborah Darlene Rintoul, Michelle Elayne Rintoul, Karen Eliza- beth Reid, Kerry Lynn Thomp- son, Kathryn Diane Under- wood, Kaye Ellen Wehmeyer, Arlene Louise Willis, Lynn Williams, Janet Louise Wood, Warren Wray, Murray Fear and Discuss Education At WI Meeting GORRIE-Mrs, Morley Johnson was hostess for the June 1st meeting of the Gorrie Women's Institute. Mrs. Norman Wade gave a report of the historical conference in Guelph, and Mrs. Glad Edgar reported on the district annual at Molesworth. The roll call, "A Poem I learned at school and still re- member", was answered by 18 members. Mrs. Glenn Johnston read current events, Mrs. G. A. Anderson introduc- ed a panel of four teachers, Miss Shirley Brown, Miss Nancy Neil, Mrs. Leonard Sanderson and Mrs. Cecil Wilson, who dis- cussed " A Better Education for Our Children", under the topics religion, opportunity and laws. This was followed by an inter- esting period of questions and answers, Edwin Robert Haines, Judy Callan, Bonnie Jardin and Lynda Reavie sang "Father, We Thank Thee", and the choir anthem was "There Can Be No Shadow", Mr. Caslick welcomed the guest speaker, Rev. J. M. Ham- mond and Mrs. Hammond, mis- sionaries who have been work- ing in Korea. Mr. Hammond said that Wingham United Church mem- bers have been unselfish with time, talent and money. They have not captured Christ and kept Him as their own posses- sion, but have shared Him with families and neighbors, and made it possible for mission- aries to go to other lands. He offered personal thanks for him• self and his wife, for the gifts, cards and letters they had re- ceived in Korea. Mr. Hammond said that the question is often asked, " Why send missionaries to Korea and other countries?" Christians know by experience that unless they become useful life has little meaning. He spoke of a teacher whose life had become humdrum. He then realized that if he really loved Christ each child in the classroom was his brother or sister. He prepar- ed himself to be a better tea- cher and found he had new vi- sion in meeting his problems because he had a purpose in life. Missionaries have good news to tell. The cure for all ills and troubles in the world today is Christ. The Koreans need to hear this news. Mr. Hammond spoke of the superstitions of the Korean people. They only know of a god that is out to get them, to make them sick and cause trouble. They spend much of their time trying to outsmart these demons. It is important that we make Christ known to them. There is a great shortage of workers, When the Board of World Missions asked for 180 people there were six possibili- ties. At home 200 new men are needed every year, with about half that number to fill the po- sitions. Everyone is needed in some capacity. "Don't put away the call of God to serve," the speaker pleaded. WROXETER SCHOOL PURCHASED — Ap- proval by the Department of Energy and Resources Management is awaited by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority for the purchase of the two -room Wroxeter public school.

Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, June 10, 1965-Page'1 Attend Convention Al North Bay President David Crothers and Mr s. Crothers, and Vice President Willis Hall of Branch 180 Royal Canadian Legion, were in North Bay May 30 to June 4, where the men attend- ed the Ontario Provincial Com- mand biennial convention. The official opening was held at the Memorial Gardens on Sunday afternoon, followed by a service of remembrance. Dave Crothers was one of the fortunate delegates to be taken on a limited tour of the SAGE installation at North Bay, a part of NORAD. It is manned by 13, S. Air Force and RCAF personnel. Strict security mea- sures are enforced. The complexity of the ra- dar screens, computers, etc., is beyond comprehension of the visitors. An air condition unit which runs all the time is able to produce the equivalent of 1200 tons of ice per day. One room of computers, wiring, etc., would reach 150 degrees in a matter of two minutes if the air conditioner was out of commission.
