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

A major problem with the
Ontario Hydro expansion
program lies in the fact that the
justification' for this expansion
is simply the extrapolation of a
demand curve, hydro has
forecast a doubling of demand
every 10 years since this has
been the pattern in the past.
Ontario now consumes twice as
much enemy per capita as

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.
