Goforth evening auxiliary celebrates 50th anniversary The 50th anniversary of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church's Goforth auxiliary was marked by a potluck supper and meeting last Tuesday evening at the church. Past presidents and past members were invited to join the ladies in their cele- bration. Several husbands of group members also joined in for the evening. Following the dinner, Mrs. Paul Mills led the group in singing a few songs, ac- companied by Mrs. Hugh Clugston. Mrs. Robert Ar- buckle welcomed everyone to the special meeting and gave a brief history of the group, noting that Mrs. Kenneth McBain had been instrumental in founding the group. The first president was Mrs. R. H. Lloyd, she said. The a past presidents were then named and it was noted several were in at- tendance. The committee, convened by Mrs. Arbuckle, presented a brief devotional program. A poem was read by Mrs. Arbuckle, Mrs. James Carr read from the scriptures and then Mrs. Arbuckle led in prayer. Mrs: Mary Lee sang "He Touched Me", ac- companied by Mrs..ills. Mrs. Gordon Welwood dedicated the offering. Rev. Paul Mills then in- troduced the evening's guest speaker, Mrs. May Beth Gray, a former missionary in China, who now resides in the Barrie area. Mrs. Gray is a well-known speaker in that area, leading retreats and. passing on her faith to all. In keeping with the special occasion, her topic was on remembrance — remem- brance of the Lord's good- ness. She said she kept her memories of God's goodness in the past stored in a "memory bank". In difficult times, Mrs. Gray said she can go to her bank and be reminded that what an unchanging God did in the past, he would do again. She encouraged group members to begin to fill their. children's memory banks with God's word, just as Moses encouraged the Israelites to teach their children about God. God's word is his love letter to us. Just as she got to know her husband through his love letters to her, Mrs. Gray said, so can people learn about God through his word. She urged those present to share God with others and work out all that he is teaching. Mrs. Murray Underwood' thanked the speaker and Mrs. Lee sang •,"In The Garden". Mrs. Clugston presented a proposal that the church have an evening of fellow- ship and prayer on New Year's Eve and asked those present to indicate their interest.

Mr. VO. performed double duty at' the meeting by speaking and playing several numbers on the piano. He was thanked by Audrey Mcleague. In other business Verna Brown suggested having a craft table at. the November meeting and Lorraine Clugston as4ed how many would be interested in at- tending a New Year's Eve get-together at the church. The meeting adjourned and lunch was served. Members of the Young Women's Group at St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church in Wingham learned about photography and the unique art of barn -board painting at a meeting held Monday evening at the church. Wara Robertson, a Wing - ham free-lance photograph- er, gave tips on taking pic- tures to the approximately. 20 ladies gathered. He also demonstrated some of the mistakes people make when taking photos. There are two types of basic cameras which are popular today, he said: pocket cameras and" 3.5 mm cameras. Pocket- cameras are convenient and usually take good pictures, but he urged the ladies to move on to a 35 mm once they feel more confident in their picture - taking skills because these cameras are more sophisti- cated and usually produce better results. Finally he stressed the importance and fun of ex- perimenting with cameras because . the memories captured on film never can be lost. Mr. Robertson was thanked by Leah English before Sylvia Procter led in a singsong. Don Vair, an art director at CKNX and pastor at the Westfield Church, discussed his art of barn -board paint- ing. • Mr. Vair started painting scenes on barn -board in 1973 Marriage vows were ex- changed at four o'clock on Saturday, September 8, by Janet Lot, ise Nevery of Wingham/and Julio Biafore of Toronto, in a beautiful outdoor garden setting at the home of the bride's parents, Mr/and Mrs. Jack Nevery of W' gham.
