The minutes of the two pre- vious meetings were read by Mrs. Don MacAdam and the roll call was "A mother from the Bible and what I admire about her". The Scripture les- son was read by Mrs. Arnold Jeffray and the topic, "The Church Goes West" was given by Mrs, John Dickson, follow- ed by a discussion period. During the business a flower committee for August was nam- ed, Mrs. Elmer Jeffray and Mrs. Doug McPherson. Suggestions were made regarding items for the bale. It was decided to again purchase Christmas cards as in previous years. A lunch committee was named for a board meeting in September, Mrs. Alvin Mundell, Mrs, Bruce Darling and Mrs. Tom Inglis. A history of the church which was written by the late Mr. Johann was read by Mrs. Harvey Ballagh. The meeting closed with the hymn "0 Spirit of the Living God" and a prayer poem by the president, Mrs. Ralph Dickson. Friendship Club sponsored bus trip to Expo BELMORE—A number of lo- cal residents, plus others from Thornbury, Walkerton, Tees- water, Wingham and Fergus, attended Expo recently on a bus tour sponsored by the Friend- ship Club of McIntosh and Bel- more United Churches. While in Montreal the group stayed at a hostel arranged by Rosedale United Church, which has ac- commodated over a hundred such groups since the World's Fair opened near the end of Ap- ril. The visitors were greeted by fine weather and large crowds. There were long queues at the entrance of all the major pavil- ions, requiring up to three to four hours' waiting time. How- ever, members of the tour re- ported that they saw most of the exhibits they wanted to, within the two-day period. Some of the younger folk took advantage of the many rides and novelties provided by "La Ronde", Expo's amusement area. A few of the tour members said they got a glimpse of Gen- eral Charles de Gaulle just be- fore he visited the French pa- vilion. For most, the biggest thrill was in viewing the imag- inative presentations on Can- ada's scenery, historic back- ground and present.life, in the various pavilion theatres. On the return journey from Montreal the group stopped for a few hours at Upper Canada Village, near Morrisburg. By its realistic re-creation of life in early Canada, it provided a marked contrast to Expo' s em- phasis on the spectacular achievements of our modern day. All in all, everyone agreed that it was a very successful tour, though tired feet and ach- ing backs prompted the feeling it was good to be home again. BELMORE Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vella and family have left Belmore for their new home at Kingston. Mothers and children in the vil- lage held a farewell party in the Belmore Park, to honor Mrs. Vella and children before they left. We will miss them, but wish them well at their new home.
