Head table guests were Mur- ray Gaunt, MPP; District Com- mander William Scarr and Mrs. Scarr of Port Elgin; Zone Com- mander Allan Nicholson and Mrs. Nicholson of Seaforth; Mayor DeWitt Miller and Mrs. Miller; Mrs. Jack Gorrie, presi- dent of the Ladies' Auxiliary and Mr. Gorrie; Willis Hall, first vice-president; President, David Crothers and Mrs. Croth- ers; and the guest speaker, Rev. Walter Pickford and Mrs. Pick- ford of Windsor. A number of out-of-town guests were present. They were Mr. and Mrs. Eric Johnston and Mr. and Mrs. Dave McMillan of Goderich, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Eisler of Seaforth, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. McKinney of Toronto and Mrs. McBurney of British Co- lumbia who is visiting relatives here. Judge R. S. Hethering- ton and Mrs. Hetherington were also present. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of Legion ash trays to 15 World War I veterans and corsages to their wives. These were Mr. and Mrs. Scotty Forbes, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Walter VanWyck, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Seddon, Mr. and Mrs. George Anger, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Sherbondy, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Town, Dr. and Mrs. Shaunessey of Teeswater, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Simmons, Dr. and Mrs. George Howson, E. S. Copeland, Dick Burbridge, Wil- liam Kennedy and C. R. Coul- tes. Comrade Jack Bateson intro- duced the veterans to Comrade Scarr, who made the presenta- tions. The ladies received their corsages from Mrs. Keith Mc- Laughlin and Mrs. John Strong. FORMER MEMBER SPEAKS John Strong introduced the guest speaker, Rev. Walter Pickford of Windsor, a former resident of Wingham and mem- ber of the Legion. The subject of Mr. Pickford's address was "God's Love and World Peace". Reminding his audience that we are living in a world continual- ly threatened by the possibility of a major war, Mr. Pickford pointed out two basic dangers which exist in most humans. The first, he said, is the tendency to confuse actual truth with self-righteousness. In the latter case we convince our. selves that we are right and the other person is wrong, thus de- luding our own reasoning capa- city. The second great danger, said Mr. Pickford, is the con- fusion between true justice in any contentious question and the solution which anxiety tells us will be the safest one for us. The speaker said that until we, as Christians, learn to think out all our problems in this dispassionate fashion and so extend the love of God to all men, we will face the threat of war and suffering. When we are ready to concede that all men everywhere merit fair treatment there will be some real hope of permanent peace. Mr. Pickford was thanked by Don Adams. Jack Gorrie thank- ed the ladies who catered. A social evening followed with dancing at the Legion Home to the music of Farrier's Orchestra. Some horse -racing fans were arguing with a contingent of baseball fans about the relative attractions of those two sports as seen on TV, "One thing we got over you," a horseplayer said, "at least we don't have to watch a horse shaving." cuRRIE THREE O OF QUALITY FLORS RN ITUIRE FREE STORAGE FREE DELIVERY 5 PIECE VIC-ART GROUPING • 60" Triple Dresser • Chest • Bed •SIMONA Smooth Top Mattress and Springs PIECE Kilgour of Montreal • 72" Triple Dresser • Chest •SIMONA Smooth Top Mattress and Springs '274 TERMS—$3.99 WEEKLY S2 TERMS—$3.99 WEEKLY BERKLINE LANE Reclining 95 CEDAR $ 88 i9 CHAIRS CHEST $2,00 Weekly — SPECIAL — - SPECIAL — 9 -Pc.

Exercise Held by Auxiliary Police Huron County Emergency Measures completed an exercise for auxiliary police at RCAF Station, Clinton, last Sunday. In attendance were members of the Auxiliary forces from Exe- ter, Goderich, Wingham, Sea - forth and Clinton. The exercise was under the direction of W. Stuart Forbes, county, E.M.O. co-ordinator. Chief Constable Fred Minshall, county police co-ordinator, lectured on police procedures in carrying out an investigation. The all -day practical exer- cise covered a complete inves- tigation of a "break, entry and theft" occurrence. Each Em- ergency Measures constable participated. Findings at the conclusion pointed directly to the fact that complete knowledge of the im- mediate surroundings and peo- ple is necessary for a fast, ef- ficient conclusion in reducing crime to a minimum. All police chiefs expressed pleasure in having police auxil- iaries attached to their regular forces. Ontario Hospital Volunteer Program Is Outlined Representatives of several Huron County areas met at the Ontario Hospital, Goderich last Wednesday to acquaint them- selves with the program present ly being conducted by volun- teers, and to better co-ordin- ate the activities of the many groups who are contributing to the pleasures of the patients at the hospital, J. W. Coulter, Goderich, acted as chairman and called on Dr. J. A. Hagan, superin- tendent of the hospital, who stressed the need of volunteer participation in mental hospi- tals. This participation would contribute to the general under standing of mental illness and the position of the hospital in our community. Mrs. G. W. Ferguson, oc- cupational therapist, outlined activities carried out by volun- teers in the wards, library, can- teen, and occupational therapy room. The volunteer co-ordinator, Mrs. Raymond Redmond, des- cribed the regular scheduling of group visits for each after- noon. For the first and third Tuesdays of each month, Mrs. Makins of Bayfield has organiz- ed ward activities. Clinton la- dies are responsible for the pro- gram on the second and fourth Tuesdays. Seaforth groups visit on the first and third Thursdays, as do groups from Wingham on the second and fourth Thurs- days. Individual volunteers from Goderich participate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fri- days. Groups from many parts of the county are assisting with entertainment. patients' birth- day parties, picnics, drive - outs, concerts, binges, dances, and shopping tours. Areas represented at the meeting were: Seaforth, Mrs. Ross Savauge and Miss Margaret Grieve; Lucknow, Mrs. Oliver McCharles and Mrs. Wilfred Hackett; St. Helens, Mrs. Car- rick; Dashwood, Carl Oestreich- er; Exeter, Mrs. M. C. Fletch- er; Hensall, Mrs. Walter Spen- cer; Goderich, Miss Esther Hume and Mrs. L. H. Diggon. Mrs. Robert Hornuth has agreed to represent the Clinton area. Persons willing to act as repres- entatives for the Wingham, Brussels, Walton, or Wroxeter- Gorrie-Fordwich areas, should contact Mrs. Redmond at the hospital. To develop and expand the program, more volunteers are needed. Individuals or groups who are interested in assisting with the volunteer program should contact the representa- tive nearest them for informa- tion about participating.
