Miss Geraldine and Master Jimmie McDonald gave a birthday party to fourteen girls and boys on Saturday afternoon. All were delightfully en- tertained by Mrs. McDonald, assisted by Miss Beth McDonald and two visiting school chums. King Women’s Institute met at the home of Mrs. Hambly, election of the executive taking place, the sub officers to be appointed at a special executive ‘meeting. The former off- icers of six months’ service were re- elected. President, Mrs. Ross Walk- er; lst Vice-Pres, Mrs. Colin Stewâ€" art; 2nd Vice-Pres, Mrs. Jas. Pat- ton; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Aubâ€" rey Gordon; Directors, Mrs. Frank Armstrong, Mrs. D. M? Ross, Mrs. P. Norris; District Director, Mrs. J. Walsh. The motto of the month was “In the heart of the bulb is the promise of spring”. The roll call was anâ€" swered with the payment of fees. A piano duet was given by Mrs. Rawl- ings and Miss Frances Ross. Mrs. Clarke Archibald, Mrs. Bice and Mrs. D. G. Davis were hosteSSes. Letters were read from overseas Kin-g boys, James Gray, Bill Hilts, Bill Robinson, Dave Glass, thanking the Institute for sending gift boxes, donated by the public, in attendance on an Easter Feature Views held at All Saints’ Church. The boys reâ€" ported the contents in excellent con- dition and of same. Rev. Mr. Davis was guest speaker, his topic dealing with “Women and War ”. In every phase of life, wo- men have rallied valiantly with unity of mind' and heart, never failing- in co-operation of purpose, to support the life of the nation from time imâ€" memorial. The presence of the “Three Marys” at the foot of the Saviour’s Cross gave Him strength in their unity of love. The church, the community, the neighbours are undeniably sure that women will stand side by side. “Women,” said: the speaker, “always ask for more and more work. Although there is a big job on land and sea and air for men, there is equally a big job for women on the home front. Peace of the world depends more upon wo- men.” Such purpose, as the WJ. embodies, will be a sympathetic con- tribution toward victory. Miss Nora Sullivan of fifth line was tendered a shower at the home of Miss Anne Harmon on Saturday evening, a large gathering present. Her marriage to Mr. Harvey Jackâ€" son will take place on Saturday, April 20th. THURSDAY, APRIL 18th, 1940.

A group of King Cityi friends gave her a shower or Monday afternoon at her apartment The United Farmers’ Club met at King Masonic Hall on April 17th, Leonard Harmon as the speaker. A social hour of cards and dancing followed the business and address. The purchase of the Kettleby Temperance Hall «by the Kettleby United Church, transfers one of the most historic buildings in the town- ship. About the year 1850 after some years of a variety of expel-i~ ences, the local Sons of Temperance built a Hall. In 1860 an addition of 20 feet was added, and in this build- ing' “practically all the public meet- ings of the community, social, pub- lic, religious and political have been held." During the last few years, necessary improvements have made the place almost unfit for great use. The good ladies of the church clappâ€" ed an eye on it, purchased it, and are already to begin an improve- ment plan. First of all prepared themselves for a brisk 2% hour comedy play entitled “Sis Perkins”. This will be presented on Friday. April 19 in the Hall. Off to a good start with that, and a cherished building fund on hand, the WA. will at once seek further mean-s to in- crease the fund and improve the building. Once again, the famous King City District News their hearty appreciation {Hall will hum with activity, and- this for the extension of the United ,Church Parish Hall, it will no doubt ;be utilized for certain community undertakings. It was formerly the lplan of the WA. to erect such an lauditorium within the church, we are told, but this happy plan came into view so here they are, all ready to embark on their long leoked for adâ€" I venture.

Mrs. A. R. Stone, wife of Rev. A. R. Stone, now on furlough from Nagano, Japan, addressed the Unit- ed W.M.S. at the parsonage last week. Following up the work of Rev. Dan Norman, Mr. Stone is playing an important part in the Rural Community Experiment, under the auspices of the Christian Church in Japan. It represents a Co-operâ€" ative service to rural Japan, where- by their social, economic and reli- gious life is vastly improved. In- matters of health alone, the results are most gratifying. Diet, types of food, the use of a community oven for baking, day nursery service, pub- lic health nurse, health lectures, etc. have all made for great advance- ment in environment and the pro- gress of the Christian religion. Mrs. Stone, a former Ontario kin- dergarten supervisor and mother of two young children, is supervisor of a kindergarten in her city. “I am received by the teachers and pupils as one of themselves,” she related. “The Japanese children know no ra- cial prejudice and are most lovable.” H-er oldest child spoke the Japanese language before that of English as his playmates are Japanese. The Stones speak Japanese language al- most entirely, except in their own home, for the English citizenry are so very few. However, in spite of wars, or national disturbances in China and Japan, Rev. and Mrs. Stone plan to return to Japan in August, and are looking forward to their work again. Temperanceville Mission Band en- tertained adult friends and Eversley Mission Band on Saturday. Mrs. J. R. McCrimmon of Maple addressed the children in an interesting man- ner. Temperanceville provided sev- eral musical numbers. Forty partook of lunch following the program. Everett Wiltshire gave a discourse on the topic, “Boy and Girl Friend- ship" before King United YP.U. last week. His thoughtful remarks con- veyed the idea that happy, normal friendships are desirable and useful when based on Christian principles. In homes or communities where Christian practises are emphasized, where Christian teachings form the background of young peoples’ lives, there should be found the most comâ€" mendable and reliable friendships. At all events, the speaker felt that such training and- influences are seen in the very countenance of the in- dixfid‘u'al or in the life of the com- munity. Noble friendships seek out those places where chastity abounds; the weaker and undisciplined friend~ ‘ships are to be found in; less desirâ€" able and probably questionable places. Rev. Jno. Galloway addressed a large audience at Aurora Baptist Church on Friday, April 12th, the occasion of a musical evening when a Newmarket orchestra gave an ex- cellent program of numbers. Music lovers of Aurora and district were present. A very fine Baptismal service was held in Aurora on Sunday evening, eight candidates from Aurora re- ceiving the rites. Rev. Mr. Gallo way was the speaker. Rev. Mr. Galloway was the speak- er at Eversley Y.P.S. on Monday We extend sympathy to Mr. H. F.

THE BLACK WATCH The auditorium of the UnitedI Church was crowded to capacity on Sunday evening last when fifty solâ€" diers of the Black Watch of Mon: treal attended divine service. The pastor, Rev. C. W. Follett, had) charge and he was assisted by Capt. the Rev. Mr. McKaye, Chaplain of the regiment, who delivered a very inspiring and timely message. The choir rendered several special musi- cal numbers, Mr. Rand Phipps “The Lord’s Prayer”, and the full choir, “Hark, Hark, My Soul”. At the close of the worship period the Young People’s Union of the church enter- tained the men in the School Hall to a banquet which was much en- joyed, particularly the last course, consisting of ice cream, pie and! coffee. Rev. Follett welcomed the soldiers on behalf of the officials and congregation, and the padre ex- pressed the pleasure of himself and men for the invitation, as well as for the kindness shown them. After a short sing song the men were motored back to the Exhibition grounds through the kindness of friends in the village, and to whom the Young People, who sponsored“ the whole affair, are deeply grateful, both for bringing the men as well as returning them. _ IN MEMO‘RIAM BROOKâ€"In loving mmeory of Rich- ard James Brock who passed away March 30th, 1939.
