Everything is now in readiness for the monster celebration in connection with the 140th anniversary of Bethesda Lutheran Church. The program in- cludes a. morning and evening service on Sunday, Aug. 12th, Community Night will be observed on Monday, Aug. 13th, and Remembrance Night on Aug. 14th. Former pastors will be in attendance and special music by the church choir, Peaches Quar- tette, The Raymer Choir, Toronto, and the United Church Choir, Union- ville. A cordial invitation is extend- ed to all to attend this historical event. The morning service at Central United Church next Sunday will be in charge of the Women’s Association when Mrs. Pateman, Honorary Pres- ident of Toronto East Presbytery, will be the special speaker. The choir will be members of the W.A. and special music will be contributed. A cordial invitation is extended to attend this splendid meeting. A resume of W.M.S. work from pioneer days was presented by Mrs. F. Rae of Willowdale, formerly‘of Unionville, at the special W.M.S. ser- vice held under the auspices of the W.M.S. Auxiliary of Central United Church last Sunday morning. The establishment of the school homes and hospitals in the Canadian North West that were founded on the courage and sacrifices of the early missionaries and that have proven so beneficial was especially n‘oted. Rev. F. Rae had charge of the devotional services, also an impressive solo by Mrs. A. G. Gormley was a part of this helpful service. “The Little Hero of Harlem” that delightful Holland legend was very cleverly interpreted in poetry and prose by Mrs. G. Whaley. A pleasing solo by Mrs. A. K. Harrington was also included on this especially fine program. Forty ladies were in at- tendance and Mrs. E. E. Braithwait: presided. Following the program tea was served during the social hour by, the hostesses, Mrs. F. H. Deacon Mrs. A. K. Harrington, Mrs. W. M Smith, Mrs. E. E. Braithwaite, Mrs H. Weatherill. Speaking of Holland, Lady Tulleken remarked that it was a country that depended entirely upon agricultural exports; a. country with no debts; owing no war indemnities; where manufactures were not subsidized; where all people lived the satisfied simple life, depending entirely 'en agriculture for their existence and were happy in so doing. A cultured visitor like Lady Tulleken to the orâ€" ganization was a special privilege and a hearty appreciation on behalf of the members was expressed to her by Mrs G. Whaley and Mrs. G. Gormley. The members and their friends who attended the August meeting of the local Women’s Institute that convened at the home of Mrs. F. H. Deacon on Thursday last, report one of the best meetings of the year, when Lady Van Hoog‘enbauch Tulleken, formerly of Holland, now of Toronto, was a most interesting speaker on “Culture and Agriculture.” Retracing steps in the progress of Agriculture back to pion- eer days, it was emphasized that wom en, not men, first invented and de- veloped Agriculture. It was women in search of food supply while the men folk were engaged in hewing down trees to build the homes that first found out that by scratching the soil and sowing seeds, food could be obtained in this way. It Was the women who searched the wood for edible herbs and discovered that; barks of certain trees could be useful in the making of ,dyes for clothing, coverlids, etc., for protection against the severe cold of winter. A develop ment and culture of really true art which gave promise for many years of being lost but during later years has rapidly been revived. P.S. at the regular meeting. Prof. Mitchell is well known to many in this vicinity and is a brother of Mr. Alex. Mitchell of Ringwood. Owing to Bethesda Lutheran celebration the meeting will commence promptly at 7 pm. instead of the usual time 8 Wk When God gave but a pack?

He said he knew farmers who found it impossible to get help on the farms. If we raised the pay on the roads the farmer wouldn’t be Councillor McMurchy said that he had been approached on the matter and he didn’t like the attitude of those who said if something wasn’t done something would happen next January. I don’t like the idea of threats like that in a matter of this kind, said councillor McMurchy. Mr: Taylor appealed to the members of council to consider the question from a christian standpoint. The men working on the roads in Vaughan want work, not relief, he said, but he wished to ask the members the ques- tion “can a man support a Wife and family on $9.60 per week?” Thomas Woods said he was unable to work himself but he was appearing on behalf of the other fellows. He knew it was impossible for the men to make ends meet at the 20 cents per hour and he urged an increase be made. Sam Deans stated that at the pres- ent rate a full week’s pay was $9.60. He gave a detailed bill of the gro- ceries necessary for a man with a wife and two children which amounted to $8.05. Mr. Deans stressed the fact that under such conditions children were going under-nourished and he appealed to the members on behalf of these unfortunate children who will be the citizens of to-morrow. Our penal institutions are filled toâ€"day with boys between eighteen and twenty-one, said Mr. Deans, and one of the causes of this was the under- nourishment and lack of proper care in the homes. “We are not reds,” stressed Mr. Deans, we are not agi- tators, we are merely asking- for something which we think is fair and‘ just. He said the men would be satisfied with a small increase. A delegation representing the work- men engaged in road work in Vau- ghan township appeared before the members of the municipal council at the regular meeting on Tuesday and asked an increase in the rate of pay. At present men engaged on the roads are paid at the rate of 20 cents per hour and the delegation pointed out that this was not sufficient for the read of a family to make ends meet.

The question of increased pay was also brought up at the meeting of the Markham township council where a similar request was made. It was pointed out by the Markham council that Markham, Vaughan, King and Whitchurch all paid at the 20 cents per hour rate and it would not be fair for one council to raise the pay with- out consulting the others. A repre- sentative of the Ontario Government Department of Welfare present at the Markham meeting pointed out that the rate of pay was entirely up to the mun'cipality, but the government was agreeable to pay their portion of relief work just the same if the rate were increased to 25 cents per hour. The third anneal Wonche reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs; Will Wonche, near Thornton, on Aug. 6, 1934. Nearly one hundred and fifty were present. After a. hearty dinner the afternoon was spent in games and races. Guests from a dis- tance were from Winnipeg, Clausonl, Michigan, Toronto, North Bay, Cooks- town, Markham, Cedar Grove, Cherry- wood, Uxbridge, Thornton, Pickering Village and Birchcliff. Councillor Robert Scott said he appreciated the arguments of the deputation but that there were a num ber of angles to the question. For instance, he said he knew of a man who left a job on the farm at $25 per month to go and work for the town- ship on the roads. Councillor Scott also mentioned the case of single men who could secure lots of employment on farms at fair wages with their board but who preferred road work. Reeve Kellam promised the depu- tation that the question would have the serious consideration of the mem- bers. Councillor Weldrick said the ques- tion was how many men would leave the farms if the council raised the pay on the roads. able to get a man at all WONCHE REUNION; PROMPT DELIVERY MO. 4361-62 $875 $365 $495 $235 $175 $195 $119 $195 PAGE 20c. 25c. 15c. 17c. 150. 33c. 53c. 22c. 21c. 7c. 29c.
