The Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-02-28, Page 6Page 6. --The Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, February 38, wr4 features from The World of Women Mrs.. Douglas Lapp convenes. Gofortli Auxiliary meeting Forty-five members of the Go- forth Evening Auxiliary of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church attended the monthly, meeting held 'February 19. Mrs, Douglas Lapp was convener of the meet- ing and gave the call to worship. "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun" was .the opening hymn. Mrs. Edward Beard, accompanied by her daughter Sylvia playing° the accordion, led a lively song fest. Mrs. Lapp gave the meditation, basing it on Ephesians, chapter 2, verses 17-22. Mrs. Lapp stated that Christianity was never meant to be something to make people ,miserable but rather something to make them happy. She said, "Christians should stand out like a sparkling diamond against a rough. back- ground; They should be poised, ciltured, courteous and gracious but firm in the things they do or do not do.They, .should refuse to allow worldly things to pull them to their level."' Mrs. Lapp spoke of the 'many professing Christians who are walking hand in hand with the world. 'It is: difficult to tell the difference between the Christian and the sinner," she. said. She brought to mind the words of Paul: "Be not conformed to this ,world but be ye transformed by the renewing of 'your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." In closing, she said, "If we are ever to rise to the standards and requirements that Jesus set forth, it will have to be done by individuals who have completely and fully . yielded their lives to Jesus Christ." Following the singing of another hymn, Mrs. Gordon Daugherty led in prayer. The offering was blessed by Mrs. Ruth Hueston. This year the Auxiliary is making a study of "Missien Im- possible—Unless". The first thing that they. have learned about mission is that we must witness wherever we are. Mrs. Jack Alexander, Mrs. Gordon Welwood, .Mrs. Lapp and Mrs. 'Arnold Taylor gave case studies for discussion of some new concepts of mission to make mission more meaningful and help their listeners deal more t.,PauI's Church (ANGLICAN) W INGHAM REV.

Firstly, they placed' emphasis on listening to the third world. They said, "For centuries Chris- tians hris- tians from the West have been telling people from the East abO.tit Christ. Now Christians from the east are telling us what we look like from the standpoint of their understanding of the gospel." They told the story of a .Japanese Christian missionary who, after travelling, studying and speaking for more than a year. in United States. and Canada, charges that Chris- tianity appears now as a religion of the rich and powerful nations and has little to say to the poor millions in Africa or Latin America; that our faith has become mixed with a lot of other assumptions that have.little to do with Christianity and we need to discover the real needs of our lives;' that the West thinks of man as the conqueror of nature while the Eastern way of thinking is that man does not conquer nature, he lives in harmony with it. Man is only a part of the whole universe, God's good creation. Secondly, the sPeakers stress- ed education as a means of mission. "Education has always formed an important paint of the church's mission to liberate human beings from the bonds of ignorance and/illiteracy,"they said. "Is the fst goal of 'educa- tion to convert people to Chris- tianity or is'it. to teach them to read and write? The uneducated are usually more interested in the educationaL advantages of the mission school which. they see as an important .'step' in bringing new opportunities for their society." As a third point, the mission speakers asked the: question, "Does -the Christian mission to liberate the oppressed include violent revolution?". They reminded their audience that throughout history, some Chris- tians have remained pacifists, .'ors „have fought as soldiers ate* en part in revolution. dying, the speakers again s resse 1 an �k c �. cl that mission begins at home. Mrs. Wallace Richardson acted as commentator for each dis- cussion.. The hymn, "Take My Life", was followed by prayer by Mrs. Lapp. President Mrs. Ralph Nixon conducted the business portion of the meeting. The .Auxiliary has decides' to participate in the banner project commemorating the IOOth anniversary of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Mrs. Ken McKague and Mrs. Murray Underwood displayed the working design and asked for assistance in the final centennial banner. 'Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the meeting. —Mr. and Mrs., John Mann, Ian, Caryn and Jeffrey were in Agincourt over the weekend to celebrate the 50th wedding anni- - versary of Mrs. Mann's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Adams of Scarborough. An Open House was held on Saturday in their honor at the home of their son, George Adams, in Agincourt, where more than 100 guests gathered to honor the bride and groom of February 23, 1924. MARGARET METZGER,.a nutritionist from the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, headed an afternoon workshop on nutrition and methods of teaching nutrition during a four-day Ontario Teahers' Federation science seminar at Howick Central School last week. The workshop was designed to give teachers an insight into the teaching of nutrition in a more. interesting and effective way.

Their demonstrations were designed to give teachers more confidence in teaching nutrition and to show them more animated ways of going about it. Barbara Cooper, one of the OMMB's representatives, said that nutrition needn't be a dry. subject. No more drilling on the Canada Food Guide — nutrition is fun, at least the way Miss Cooper and Miss Metzger present it.

One way in which Miss Metzger ' demonstrated this technique was the Mystery Box, which has some kind of food hidden in it. The child is asked to identify it by touch alone. This process involves the child in a game approach with which he is comfortable. 'Another approach is to perform tests on certain foods \ and teen decide what its components are. Miss Cooper explained the child soon sees that foods with the same basic components give the same test results. In this way the child can• classify each food. After allowing the teachers to. play these games and see for themselves that nutrition can be taught in an interesting manner program. ' . The workshops, which were started about -10 years ago,, are. designed to help the teachers in their efforts to teach the fun- damentals of science to their students. The OTF program works through a numberof dif- ferent units of the science pro- grams taught in school. Each unit sets out a number of activities, or experiments for the student and while the * teacher may Suggest problems and ac- tivities„,itis,hepedthat the, child7. r9n.therkielvettWill,ad questions and getj,theirtown= ideasrf r .ac- tivities from the program. The, OTF program starts off with instruction in simple pat- terns. One . of the workshops at Howick Central exemplified =this' approach. Workshop leader Mary Maas, of Kingston, placed the .teachers in her workshop in the role of students studying geology. She asked the teachers to take a group of rocks and classify them. After each teacher had the rocks neatly . piled,. Miss Maas . asked them . how they classified the specimens. The answers ranged from color to : composition, thus demonstrating the different per- ceptions of classification that can be drawn upon in the classroom. It is hoped .. that by such demonstrations the teachers can Three new faces along main drag Wingham has three new com- mercial faces along main street and each one has taken up "resi- dence” within the last month. The first to arrive was -Ralph Harrison who came to Wingham to take. the manager's post at Ideal Supply. Peter McGillawee, the former manager, has taken over the manager's position at Ideal's Kincardine branch. Mr. Harrison has spent the last six or so years as the assistant Manager of the' Ideal , Supply branch in Goderich. He started with Ideal just after he left school and lias worked his ways through the ranks to his present post. . Mr: Harrison is married and .has two children, both boys. Dale, the oldest, is 4 and Derrick is 2. Mr. Harrison's wife Connie is from the Listowel area. As yet the new branch manager hasn't found a place to live in town, so he still commutes to Wingham daily from Goderich. Ernie King may be a familiar name to some devotees of country music. Mr. King, who has been involved professionally in music since 1948, has opened the trifle King Music Centre. He has appeared on CKNX television a number of times but this is his first coninriereial venture in the MUSIC business. While Mr. King is originally from the Midland- Penatang • area he has lived around Wingham for the past few years. He is married and has two children, Richard 19 and Denise 12, His wife Thelma is originally from Deaboro. At the present time Mr. King and his family are living in Holyrood. The third new merchant on the main drag is Archie Parker. Mr. Parker came out of retirement and bought Bennett's 5c to a $1 store. He has worked extensively in Mid -Western Ontario spending time in Ripley, Atwood and before his retirement, Tilbury. Mr: Parker's wife Gertie was brought up in the Wingham area as Gertie Robertson. We hope all three new mem- bers of the business community are successful in their ventures and welcome to Wingham gentle- men. the OMT plus and resotkrce. materiels a backup aid The 'ewes* the project,; which Is provided. to any greoP that wants it, is reflected :In a. recent test.

It also allowed principals to suggest their own ways of helping the teachers co-ordinate the unitS, Mr. Cooper said it is necessary to ,get the opinions of teachers and their principals about the project units in order that the techniques and methods can be refined and upgraded. —Mr. and' Mrs. Donald Gaunt of Chatham spent the weekend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.' Russell Gaunt of Edward Strdet, and also visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Purdon, at White- church. —Mrs. Jennie Nicholson of Edward Street attended the funeral of her brother,.
