Old age pensioners should apply now A large number of old age pensioners in t Ontario will not be getting proper Guaranteed Income Supplement cheques -- some none at all -- if they don't get their applications in by the March 31 deadline, according to health and welfare Canada • officials in Toronto. W.Wright, Regional Director for Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Sup- plement in Ontario said today that some 92,000 possible eligible applicants have yet to file -applications. "So far we have heard .from nearly 250,000 people," Mr. Wright said. There are about 92,000 who are eligible but have yet to file applications."

Mrs. George Wright led the service assisted by Mrs. Cecil Elliott and Mrs. Edna Wheeler. Mrs. Elsie Henderson was organist and the offering was received by Gladys Stanlake and Annie Scott. intended for'1as"t week BYMRS. .BERT 4110110ROOK The United Church held their first Service -on Sunday after the ,month's holiday. The Bong regationlupon entering the church found a completely redecorated ' sanctuary and Narthex, Duringthe month, the committee, of Stewards . under the direction of the official board, installed walnut panelling on back of choir loft, but upon completing this project, found the rest of the sanctuary needed "a complete face lift". The: committee of Stewards with many volunteer - helpers, painted the complete sanctuary, throroughly cleaned the floor, repolished all, the pews and cleaned the stained glass windows to a sparkle and beauty. The light blue walls with the soft yellow trim give 4,1)0314 and cheerful atmosphere in the church. The light blue con- tinues out into the sanctuary with the main wall papered. with a blue striped paper with overtone of darker blue velvet- like design. The neW carpet throughout the Narthex, up the aisles, choir loft and front of the church put the final touch to the beauty of the building. During the week as the work progressed, a member of the congregation wrote a poem about the project and those taking part. Although . the author remains anonymous this ' poem suggests the feeling of joy that the volunteers had in participating in the projects. There were also combination storm windows installed on the west side of the church. Here is the poem : Mission Possible For our "50th" Anniversary in nineteen seventy five; Our Stewards took.on a project to prove we're well and alive. Some call it 'participation', others thought — our minds we blew, But we thought — let's paint the church, It's the "Jesus thing to do". It started in the choir loft, with money relegated, The Stewards bought some panelling, to really renovate it. The panelling was soon installed, our cross was hung in place, Then 'Tillie' said, "Let's paint her boys, she needs a brand new face." Enthusiasm reigned supreme,•the Stewards were all elated, But then they motioned — "Let's get our wives, without them, no job is completed." During'Halliday Homes recent sales confeirence in Burlington, Ontario,.plare Sager, on right,, was presented with a sales achievement award by Halliday's Production Manager, Mr. John' Dewar. The award was presented for the Best Performance in Home Builder Sales during 1974. Mr. Sager. represents Delbar Investments of Goderich Limited, an authorized Halliday Homes Dealer. Women's auxiliary honours retiring nurse When we began — to improve our church was the only thing that mattered, We hope we'll be forgiven if the budget has been shattered. You see our beloved minister had taken his well earned rest, The Church was closed for one full month, a good chance to do our best. Though he was twelve hundred miles away, we felt his guiding hand, 'Cause even when we spilled the paint, all we said was "Well My Stars". For three full weeks we scratched and scraped — and scrubbed the well worn floor, ,We washed the pews, and window. panes; in fellowship aglore. There was a carpentry committee, Allen Bosman headed that. He was given the position, because of his bright blue hat. We missed him for a few days and gave him quite a 'rakin'. But with 145 baby pigs, he had to save the bacon. Mery Durnin came and helped xis, and Murray Adams, too; For painting window sashes, they really were true blue. Tillie bit the high spots and rolled the blue paint on, Day after day he never quit, nor didn't even yawn. And Sandra kept us on the move, our pace she seemed to quicken, She brought us snacks and home made bread, and sure can fry a _ chicken. , But when it came to bringing dessert, especially apple pie, They left that up to Bud the $pud, the girl from P.E.I. aH Garnet Wright was another helping hand, he went for paint one day, And we made a cup of coffee as soon as he got away. He hurried back with the thought in mind, that the kettle would still be on, But alas and alack when he got back, the coffee was all gone! Let me tell you about Bert Lyon, who did Tris share just great, And kept us all in stitches whenever he showed up late. We noticed the clock was stopped one day, it wouldn't even 'twitch'. but then we found the problem, that Bert had pulled the switch. We needed S.O.S. pads, so John said "That I can do". And hurried home to get some, but brought us back just '2' ! ! There's one less bat in the belfry, he died without much pain, We found him in the toilet, so Tillie flushed him down the drain! We had never seen that bat before and don't know why he died, But we held an official inquiry and called it suicide. Helen Lee came when she could, sometimes for just an hour, But she brought buns and strawberry jam and replenished our inner power. And Mrs. Longman, Bless her heart, she helped to clean the pews, 'And Betty and Ian Hulley came and helped us too. Rob Shaddick came when he could but was busy at the plant, But whenever he had an hour to spare was quick to lend a hand. So now the job is finished, and 'time' is how you mark it, The U.C.W. topped it all when they installed the brand necarpet. We had a lot of fun; a lot of work and made some new friends too, And hope the congregation will agree "Tis the Jesus thing to do." Let's not forget the one from whom we get our inspiration; The one who makes Londesborough United, The Best of Congregations. In some sort of way we're trying to say, a big 'thank you' to Stan, Who even among a million men would stand out as THE MAN. He puts up with a lot of things that to us would be pure strife, But•he just won't listen to us and find himself a wife. The Clinton Hospital auxiliary members met in the hospital Board Room on March 3 to honour Miss Kathleen Elliott, retiring director of nursing, with a pot -luck lun- cheon. . The social convener, Mrs: E. B. Menzies, had the tables attractively arranged with yellow daffodils ,as cen- trepieces —a touch of spring on a snowy day. A gift was presented to the director of nursing on behalf of the auxiliary, by Mrs. F. Fingland who expressed the sincere gratitude of the members for Miss Elliott's constant and generous assistance over the years. Miss Elliott thanked the members of the auxiliary for their kind words. Miss Elliott told the auxiliary about the new director of nursing, Miss Barbara Cooper, who is to take up her duties here in the latter part of April, Miss Cooper, born in Arvida, P.Q., trained at Wellesly Hospital in Toronto, and received her Bachelor • of Nursing Education at the University of Western Ontario. Miss Cooper taught for four years at Mississauga, and presently is an instructor at Connestoga College. .The hospital board of management has accepted the ' offer of a pacemaker to be purchased by the auxiliary. The TV committee submitted a lengthy report on procedure. It has found that payment in advance for the portable hospital TV sets is the only feasible method of collecting rental fees. An advance payment for three days at $1.71 a day plus purchase of an earpiece at $1.07 (if the patient has not brootright his own) is necessary before the in- stallation of the TV set. This brings the advance payment to Ontario St. UCS sets coffee party date The afternoon unit of Ontario Street UCW met in the church parlour on March 5 with 30 members present. Mrs. F.

Letters were read from Clare McGowan, Goderich regarding the collection of stamps, also from Mr. Geo. Burgess, Angola thanking the UCW for money sent for hospital supplies. It was decided to have our annual coffee party on May 15. Mrs. C. McPherson gave a reading "Money is Time" and the roll call was answered by telling what you were doing 50 years ago, when union of the churches took place. Mrs. McPherson then played a record "Heritage for the Future" presented by the 50th anniversary committee of church union. Mrs. Forbes closed the meeting with the Mizpah benediction and Mrs. Groves „gr.Qup Served a lovely lunch.. $6.20, or $5.13 if the patient has his own ear piece.

All interested people are invited to attend. Whats new al Huronview?

Ontario now consumes twice as much enemy per capita as trio t ' a'atr tlil ries nd this proporikii Is +'still tn= creasing. However, the ultimate benefits to be received or the penalties to be paid have not yet been determined. Ontario Hydro has not presented their plans to the people or discussed their alternatives. It is of major importance that Ontario Hydro place greater emphasis on conservation and far less emphasis on expansion. SUNDAY, MARCH 16 8:00 P.M.
