Wingham United plans anniversary services The Wingham United Church plans special ser- vices to celebrate its 121st anniversary this Sunday. For the morning service, the congregation has invited a former area minister, Rev. William Bell, who preached at Trinity United Church in Listowel from 1969 to 1979. Mr. Bell, who comes of Methodist origins in England, received his for- mal education in eastern Canada, where he also served pastorates before moving on to western Canada and back to Ontario. He is now retired and living in West Lorne. In theevening, Rev,;Larry Marshaili'=4f Shall tl :r.;L.ake. will conduet a service. Mr. Marshall is a professional vocalist who has sung with the CBC and other well-known choirs. Since his ordination in 1976, he has been minister of the Shallow Lake United Church, which he has seen grow to single -point status and open a new building. During the days of MRS. GEORGE BROWN Gorrie "Singtime", the United Church's television program which ran for many years on CKNX, Mr. Marshall fre- quently appeared as a guest vocalist and as host. Because of his popularity .at the evening anniversary service two years ago, the congregation looks forward to having many visitors from other area churches. The morning worship, which will feature music by the senior and junior choirs and will be conducted by the minister, Rev. Rea Grant, will be broadcast over the local radio station. Wingham United dates its origins from class meetings in Lower Town in establish- ments and homes owned by Methodists. The group soon grew and by the turn of the century had begun to build the main part of the present structure. The addition of a gymnasium, kitchen and ' other facilities in 1930 completed the building which occupies the present site on Minnie Street.

Separate board raises liability insurance limits By Wilma Oke Concern about the costly awards being made to persons injured in accidents, some of well over a million dollars, has prompted the Huron=Perth separate school board to increase its liability insurance. Following discussion at the October board meeting in Dublin, the board doubled its liability policy to $10 million from $5 million at a total cost of $762 per year. This covers the school board in the event of a serious accident in- volving a vehicle owned by the board or being operated on behalf of the board or an accident at one of the schools. The board renewed ,through Leeson -Killer In- surance of Stratford all its insurance policies for another year at a premium of $22,796, up from $20,350 last year. The board plans to respond with a submission to a request from the Com- mission on the Financing of Elementary and Secondary Education in Ontario. Ten copies of the brief must be at the commission's office by Jan.. 31, 1985; the trustees gave no indication what proposals it may contain. At a special board meeting held Monday trustees planned to discuss the fate of the Immaculate Conception School ,at Stratford. That night the board was to meet at St. Michael's School, Stratford, to hear the report of the Accommodation Review Committee. Early last month this committee received a report from the ' Community Accommodation Review Committee, which was formed in May to in-. ' vestigate the possible con- solidation of Stratford's fiye separate schools. Enrolment statistics and projections were examined and parents and ratepayers interviewed through a survey and public meetings. The committee recom- mended closing Immaculate Conception and leaving four schools in the four quadrants of the 'city. Now the whole board will hear a follow-up. report and briefs from the ratepayers. Immaculate Conception School opened in 1923 and has an enrolment this year of 134 students. The board went into committee -of -the -whole at 10:20 p.m. at the end of its general meeting. Graduated. Don and Doris Caesar of Whitechurch are pleased to announce the graduation of their daughter Vickie Scott from George Brown College, Toronto.
