time Beauties, another show

a skit by the Sew and Sews.
To close the evening lunch

girls involved.
Quite often pulpits are
exchanged, but last Sunday
Hensall United Church ex-
changed Pulpits, choir and
organists with the Exeter
United Church. Occupying
the pulpit at Hensall was Rev.
Glen Wright, supported by
the choir led by organist, Mr.
Robert Cameron and pianist,
Mrs. Jack Coates. The choir
sang as an anthem 0 Worship
the King with solo parts taken
by Mr. Carfray Cann, Mrs.
Maxine Sereda and Mrs. Ada
Skinner, Mrs. Norma Hooper
and Mr. Pat Skinner. Later in
the service, a male quartet of
Messers Carfray Cann, Pat
Skinner, Norm Walper and
Bob Russell sang.
Rev. Wright preached on
the topic "Under the
Influence....of the Spirit".
The coming of the Holy Spirit
should bring us Joy, help us to
love our neighbour as our-
selves and teach us to ap-
preciate differences and
perceive the individual
strength of those we come in
contact with.
The service was most
enjoyable and we hope to
welcome Rev. Wright back to
our church some day.

God was the text of the
devotional at the June
meeting of Unit 1 when they
met„on Thursday, June 9 in
-the Fellowship Hall of
Hensall United'Church. Mrs.
Mable Shirray led the
devotional and illustrated her
theme by telling the story of a
boy finding a' watch by
hearing it ticking. We need
silence to listen to the "still
small voice".

girls for their kindness while
she was recovering from the
car accident and a thank -you
note was read from Helen
Goddard. After dedicating
the offering, all repeated the
Mizpah Benediction.
The study was ' on the
Hungry in the World and was
given by Mrs. Doug Cook and
brought out many facts in-
cluding the following: the
actual number of hungry
people on the world is not
known nor how much protein
we actually require; the most
protein deficient country is
Zaire, not Bangladesh;
distribution of food not
growing food is the basic
problem; small farm
holdings can be operated

The 100th Anniversary of
St. Paul's Church, Hensall
will be celebrated at a special
service on Sunday, June 19 at
3 p.m. The Right Reverend
William Townsend, D.D.,
L.L.D., Suffragan Bishop of

guest preacher, and the
service will be conducted by
the Reverend George

St. Paul's Church was
opened for worship on June
10, 1877 The Very Reverend
Michael Boomer, Dean of
Huron, preached at the
morning service, the
Reverend John Gemmel,
London preached in the af-
ternoon and the Rector, the

Exeter, assisted at all three

The Village of Hensall owes
its existence to three en-
terprising brothers from
England. To the present site
of the community came
George and John Petty who
took up land on the second
concession in 1854. James
Petty, the third brother,
came out later. With the
coming of the Great Western
Railway in 1870 the Pettys
and a few others were in-
strumental in having a stop in
their area. The railway
station was built on land
donated by James Petty. The
Pettys called the station
Hensall after the Yorkshire
village from which they had
come.
As the village began to rise
the Petty brothers set aside a
lot for the site of the church.
They were staunch chur-
chmen and walked the eight
miles to attend church ser-
vices in Exeter. John Petty,
William Wilson and Cornelius
Purdy were selected by the
Anglicans of the community
as a Building Committee. The
present frame structure was
erected in 1877. In the sum-
mer of 1922, the Church was
raised and a basement built
to provide a place for a fur-
nace and d Sunday School
room. The new basement was
dedicated on August 20, 1922
by Archbishop Williams.
.The beautiful Chancel
window, provided by the heirs
of the Petty estate, was
dedicated on December 21,
1924 by Archbishop Williams
to the memory of the first
Petty brothers. The cross on
the Altar was presented by
Mrs. W. J. Doherty in
memory of Eleanor
Croysdale. The brass Alms
basin was given by the
Cudmore family. The brass
Lectern was presented by
members of the family of the
late John and Ann Petty. The
beautiful framed picture
which hangs behind the pulpit
was presented by Mrs.
Margaret Aldwincle and the
Processional Cross by Mrs.
Fanny Clark in memory of
her husband, Mr. L. Clark.

Our mistake
The Spring Fair can be a
hectic time, especially when
the reporter is trying to keep
people's names and places
straight. However it is
sometimes an impossible
task and the News -Record
incorrectly identified a few
things.
Firstly, one name was
written as Henry Durst when
his name is Henry Baker.
Secondly, the cheerleaders
were not on the CHSS float in
the parade, but a number of
students, marry of whom were
trophy winners rode the float.
We apologize for any
inconveniences these errors
may have caused.

Last year we purchased a
set of LE—CRUESET cook-
ware from a Targe London
department store, but one of
the pots has started flaking
and the cast iron is showing
through, but when I returned
it to the store, they told me
that they no longer carry this
line, and that I should make
my complaint to the
manufacturer since it was
well over the 30 days that this
store allows for the return of
merchandise.
The problem is, they
couldn't or wouldn't give me
tha address of the
manufacturer.
We did get some booklets
when we bought this set, but
they have disappeared. Can
you get me an address to
return this pot?
The manufacturer and
distributor of this product is:

dustries, 3600 Danforth Ave.

You published in your
column recently about a truck
backing into a car at a golf
course. Well, my complaint is
very similar and I hope you
might be able to help me too.
More than 5 months have
elapsed since a taxi driver
backed his cab into my car at
a Targe shopping centre. The
damage was slight and the cab
driver admitted he was, "new
on the job," but he promised to
report the accident to his
employer.
After several weeks of
waiting and hearing nothing I
phoned his boss who requested
estimates which I sent.
I'm still awaiting a set-
tlement, can IMPACT help,
please?
Since this letter was
received, our reader has in-
formed us that a cheque for
$142' -has now arrived and that
both he and his wife, "are
absolutely delighted."

Some time ago I asked for
your help to get Columbia
House to stop charging me for
tapes that I wasn't even or-
dering, let alone receiving. My
own efforts were completely
useless as the only in-
formation they would tell me
was, that if 1 didn't pay money
owing I would be dealing with
a collection agency.
Shortly after I wrote you,
the unwanted tapes stopped
arriving, and now in my mail
today I received a statement
showing my balance to be nil.
This letter then, is to say
that I'm most appreciative of
your efforts on my behalf, and
I thank you for getting this
mess cleared up, and
Columbia House finally off my
back. _
