Mrs. Clifford Laidlaw gave a reading on Psalm 51, and a poem, "Grace to Do Without". A chapter from the study book, "Into a Nation", was given by Mrs. Laidlaw. She told how the church expanded to the west, of the many diffi- culties the missionaries had in learning the Cree Indian lan- guage and trying to teach the Indians, It marked the real start of civilizing the west and gradually more missionaries came to work there. In 1863 the first flour mill was built at Prince Albert. On completion of the railroad the country was linked together and gave a way of transportation to everyone. Mrs. Garnet Farrier, in the absence of the president, Mrs. Ezra Scholtz, presided for the business. Roll call was answer- ed by 14 with a Scripture verse. Mrs. Carl Weber read the min- utes. A thank you letter was read from the Overseas Relief Fund and the financial report was read by Mrs. Farrier. Suggestions for a centennial project were discussed but de- cision was left until the next thers who must work because of economic necessity bring up children who are first-rate citi- zens, In other situations, the extra income is not worth the human cost. The mother would have been wise to forego the luxuries and stay at home and take care of her youngsters. One thing is certain, however, Delinquents don't get that way overnight, A working mother should be alert to the stns of trouble and get outside help long before the police get into the act, Linda Wilson wins second speaking award Linda Wilson, 13, of Brus, sels, has won her second award for public speaking within a week, She was declared the winner of first place and the McKibbon Trophy at the Royal Canadian Legion contest at the Wingham District High School on Saturday afternoon, On Monday she was picked as best in her class at a similar contest in Clinton, this time under the sponsorship of the Ontario Trus- tees' and Ratepayers' Associa- tion. Linda will go on to the reg- ional finals at Breslau on March 14th. Second and third place win- ners in the Clinton event were Julie Valance of Brussels and Joanne Sutcliffe of Wingham, Dear Ann Landers: I am not a very good writer and you can tell from this letter I haven't had much schooling, But I •have some good ideas about living that might help your readers who are upset about the state of the world, Too many people worry over things they can't do anything about, They worry about other people smoking, a neighbor who drinks too much, long hair and tight pants on teen-age boys, short skirts on women, the war in Vietnam, prices in grocery stoma, unidentified flying ob- jects and dirty movies, Just name it and somebody will worry about it. My ideal is this: If each one of us would go to work to im- prove himself the whole world would be in better shape. I know where I need improvement better than anyone else. Worry- ing takes a lot of energy out of a person and it doesn't accom- plish anything. Just think how wonderful it would be if all that wasted energy went toward mending our own faults and being more kind, more honest and more helpful to others. I know I didn't express my- self very well, but I hope you will fix up the words and print my idea. Thank you very much. —TWO CENTS WORTH. Dear T. C. Worth: There's nothing wrong with the way you express yourself, and your idea is well worth passing along. Thank you for writing.

Ann Landers * * Dear Ann. Landers: Today is our son's 16th birthday and it is the saddest day of my life, I just left him in a school for delinquent boys and t am head- ing home, 1600 miles away. I've had some time to reflect on what went wrong and I would like to tell you. My husband and I are hard- workitig, honest peciple. I'm a registered nurse. We have five children and I've always worked to supplement my husband's in- come. Sunday has always been just another work day for me so I wasn't a churchgoer, Con- sequently, our children didn't go either. I see now what a big mistake it was. Our son began to run with a bad crowd. He did poorly in school, I was too busy to keep an eye on him. His father was not strong enough to discipline him. I knew the boy was drink- ing but I couldn't do anything about it. Two weeks ago the principal telephoned. Our son had been out all night and came to school Monday morning intoxicated. He did some damage in school and the principal had to call the police. The boy was arrested. The judge gave us permission to place him in a Christian home for delinquent, boys rather than a reformatory, So, this is the story of a mo- ther's failure, Ann. It adds up to no religious training and no discipline in early years. You have my permission to print this letter if you think it might help someone else. — HEART- SICK. Dear Heartsiek: When a mo- ther asks it she should work outside the home I never give a flat yes or no answer unless I have all the facts. Some mo- SLIMMING EXERCISE As a starter exercise which makes you feel slimmer im- mediately, do this. Stand straight with your back against the wall. Tuck in your tummy, flatten your spine against the wall so that it touches the wall in as many places as possible. You'll find yourself tucking your buttocks under -- which is good, and pushing your pelvis slightly forward -- which is excellent. Do this whenever you get a chance. And keep this posture in mind, constantly. Baked Alaska is always a special treat. Before baking, home economists at Macdonald Institute, University of Guelph, suggest freezing it in the cold- est part of the freezer for half an hour after the meringue is spread on the ice cream. Or this dessert can be baked, plac- ed in a container, and stored, frozen, for several days.
