United Church, Congregation at Staffa Celebrates 75th Anniversary of Founding After extensive repairs and re- ellecorating, Staffa United Church reopened last Sunday to mark its 75th anniversary, attended by so many parishioners, former parish- ioners and visitors that many who were unable to find seating in the .aisles heard the specal service from outside the doers. Rev. R. B. Cumming, former Staffa pastor, now of Bristow, and 'president of the London Confer- ence of the United, Church of Can- ada, charged in his, sermon that the members "build their churches and spirit as well as their forefathers." Earlier in the historic service, resident pastor A. H. Daynard, af- ter the Scripture reading, took the =finite book covering meetings of the church's original building com- mittee of 1877 and read selected portions. Early papers show mem- ibere of the church building com- mittee .as John Yeo, secretary; John Kemp, treasurer; Robert Webb, A. C. Jones, Jahn Norris, Christopher Pellew, George Hutch- eson. In charge of construction Ives the superintendent of the Hib- bert circuit of the Methodist -Church at that time, Rev. John Fisher. Cost of the church, inelud- tag all Interior furnishings, was re vorded to have cost less than $1,320.

Stray Fountain Story Ends On Sorry Note The 'third and probably the final chapter in the case of "The Missing Fountain," was heard at Monday eight's meet- ing of town council. Councillor E. H. Close advised council that it was the committee' opinion, to forget about the fountain. For park use, it prov- ed 8 waste of money, there was little use for it, and when it was in operation, he added, it was misused by the younger fry. So concludes the case of "The Missing Fountain."

A plan involving a retainer fee for use of the equipment has been drawn up by the municipality to equalize the cost among bene- fiting townships. At present, eve townships pay zt fee of $50 on the first hour for use of Hensall 'equip- ment. and $25 for each succeeding hour. The new pumper carries a pump capable of delivering 500 gallons per minute at a nozzle pressure of 12() pounds.
