The 'second speaker was John M. Skinner, Q.C. of Stratford, who spoke on "Family Law." He stated "Family Law" is a broad term covering many topics. Lawyers are able to advise women as to their rights but are not marriage counselors. This part should be left to social workers and clergymen. The new Family Law Reform Act introduced in 1978 has put men and women on equal footing - family assets may be split equally but also the debts may be split down the middle. Mr. Skinner stated that legal advice must be individual. He advised anyone in such a situation to get good legal advice - rely on it - act upon it. He also talked of the importance of women to make a will. The evening closed with worship taken by the ladies of West -Huron, This was based on Micah 6:6-8. Elsie Williams, Gowanstown gave courtesy remarks followed by the benediction by Rev. Don Pletch, of Mitchell. During the evening books for sale were on display. Also there was a period of exercise and refreshments. Jean Brine, Stratford.

The feature of the evening was a special presentation of lingerie by Shirley Perry, modelled by her family and friends.

Shirley closed her part of the evening with a quotation from the Bible, "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." she exhorted those present to not only care about how they look at home around those most important to them, but also to be sure that the the inner beauty that God ity gives a woman is allowed to ded develop in them. Guest speaker, Joan Hut- chinson of London continued on with this theme very beautifully. She shared many , moments of her own life as she compared us to clay in the Master Potter's hands. She spoke of a certain type of clay used in eastern countries that if worked enough by the pot- ter became transparent in the kiln. She said that as Christian women we need to allow God to work with us through The difficult circumstances in our lives so we can become useful, transparent people. The May meeting of the Ladies.

Kinettes Continued from page 6 40th anniversary celebration n Clinton: • • • Vice-president Doreen. MacNeil of Dungannon told the audience that her club was the newest in the zone, having been chartered last October with 12 members. "Our biggest success seems to be catering, especially to our Kinsmen," she said, and so they would, be pursuing that idea for the near future. They will soon be assisting a senior citizen's group which is developing in their area. Clinton president Betty Dalzell said an appeal for funds for a hospital expansion resulted in the Kinettes organizing a fashion show with the help of a member who owns a London clothing shop andhasconnectionswith some models. A sum of 81,100 was eventually raised. Finally Mary Loucks reported for the host club. She said she remembered trying to get out of her commitment to put on a skit at the 40th an- niversary ' celebration because she and her co -actors' were not at all prepared, but it worked out just as well. She reminded her fellow Kinettes that beginning' this July, the Heritage i)ays festivity in Ex- eter would be an annual charity drive involving all service clubs in town, and it was important to have high attendance to make it work.
