It was agreed to cater to the C.N.I.B. picnic at Harbour Park on Wed- nesday, July 18. The theme for the topic of this meeting was Citizenship and World Affairs and Mrs. R. Brock then introduced - the guest speaker, Mrs. Shirley Keller, editor of the Signal -Star, who gave a splendid talk on citizenship and the part we play in this regard, touching on the Year of the Child. She said good citizenship begins in the home and some of the outward signs of a good citizen are caring about Canada, respecting laws and rules of the land, becoming interested in your country % and speaking up for what" you think is right. With the trend of .the times, in- dications are that a vast majority in many of our schools, Christian education, including the repeating of the Lord's Prayer is not on the curriculum. Mrs. Keller pleaded, "Let's not lose control of our children ' and let's work to keep the family unit strong and in place, for in so doing we will help build a stronger nation". She said, "Let.us all strive to be good citizens and influence those - we come into contact with. Honesty, clean living, pure hearts and upright behaviour instilled in the minds 'of the children of today will aid greatly in the parents of tomorrow and build for a better future." She also touched on the )•'-,4-2(171; Year of the Child so vital to all and the open discussion which followed and the hearty applause given Mrs. Keller, voiced everyone's interest in this splendid talk.
