A most interesting and instruc- tive lecture* was given in St. George's Parish Hall on Wednes- day evening, Nov. 21, when Mrs. F. H. Haseli of the Canadian Sun- day School Caravan Mission told the gathering of ber experiences during the past two summers, when she and her companion, Miss Sayle, travelled in a cara- van 800 miles along the new Alaska Highway in the Diocese of the Yukon-visiting the scattered homes of settlers, trappers, In- dians and fur traders. bringing hope and encouragement to the lonely worrWn, baptizing child- ren and enrolling themn in the Sunday School by post. As the Diocese of the Yukon is five times the size of New Brunswick and there are only four clergymen working in it, the help of the car- avan workers is most welcome. The lecture was illustrated by excellent photographs of this north country where during the short summer, the long days pro- duce an abundant and colorful vegetation. - Miss Haseli is the organizer of the Canadianý Sunday School Caravan Missibn, which now op- erates 30 vans during the sum- mer with 60 workers, in isolated districts of Canada, ranging fromn Halifax to Vancouver. The meeting was sponsored by members of the Woman's Aux- iliary of St. George's, Newcastle, who had as their guests 18 mem- bers of the W. A. from St. John*Xs, Bowmanville. At the conclusion of the meeting refreshments were served by the hostess brancli and the collection of $22.00 was given to Miss Haseli for the furtherance of ber work. During ber stay ini Newcastle Miss Haseil was -ie guest of Miss B. Mclntosh. United Church C.G.I.T. The weekly C.G.I.T. meeting was opened an No%;. 20 with tb;, Purpose and Motta. The C.G.I.T. bymn was sung, followed by the Lord's Prayer in unison. The president cailed on the secretary to read the minutes. During the ute details were completed re- gardingth Candle-Lighting Ser- vice which is gaing ta be held. Nelda Edwards conducted the worship period which included the singing of bymn 356. The meeting closed with "Tapa" and games followed. W. C. T. U. The W.C.T.U. meeting, Thurs- day was beld at the Massey Mem- anial Parsonage, the president taking the chair for the business period. . Miss Ferguson nead the minutes of the October meeting and Mrs. Awde gave the treas- urer's report including an expen- diture for 300 W.C.T.U. blotters which had been distributed to the Newcastle and neighboring schools. She also reported money caming in for the Hospitality Fund for entertainment of th2 jWorld Convention ta be held in June 1953 in Vancouver. The Ontario pages of the Welcome Book will contain the naines of ail those wbo contribute $1.00, whethen fniends of aur cause or membens of the W.C.T.U. The book, complete with the givings of ail ten provinces will be pro- sented ta the World President a, Vancouver. Announcement was made of the receipt of a cheque for $100.00-a bequest ta our Newcastle Union in the will of aur late member, Miss Vesta Spargo, Bowmanviile. Twenty-five dol- lars of this amount was voted ta procure a memorial membership ta aur, departed friend, the bal- ance ta be used for subsequent W. C.T.U. needs. In the worship perîod Mrs H. Hancock read the scriptune and Rev. L. Turner offered prayer. Besides bymns, musical numbers consisted of a vocal solo by Mrs. Pbilp, a duet by Rev. and Mrs. Turner and a piano solo by Grace Marie Turner. The bighlight of the Listening Post. as presented by Mrs. Be- man, wvas the three-point programi of the new Broakside Hospital for the treatment of alcoholies in To- ronto, the only one of its kind in Canada, and started by Major John Foote, M.L.A. for Durham. This cansists of (a) An out-patient clinie, (b) Emergency Treatment Service, (c) Hospital Tneatment. That this work of fers new hope ta many victims of alcobolism is evident. The clip sheet on the Dnug Habit as effectively handled by Mrs. Hane and Mrs. Carvetli brought ta hight some stai4ling facts, e.g.-an ounce of heroin wonth $11 in legal sale brings $8750. in the dnug underworld in Canada; the majority of the known dnug addicts in Canada be- long ta the illiterate class; a ber- ain capsule casts $2, and an ad- dict may require up ta 10 a dit' just ta make life endurable under bis terrible cnaving. The drug peddler la not usually an addict. He is a clever persan out ta make big mnolcv frorn the weakness of others. Thle leader of a dope ring arrested in New York was mak- ing a million dollars a vear. At the close of the meeting de- liciaus refreshrncnts were scried by aur bostess.

Numericaliy ther-e was a splendid response xvith senior members of the con- gregation in attendance. Re- sponding to an invitation tend- ered by the ypung people of Newcastle in the name of the combined Unions, Mr. Ed. Young- man, the sage of Pontypool was ini attendance, accompanied by Mrs. Youngman. iovingly referred to as "Butch." The devotional period was conducted by Newton Selby with Jack Allun reading the scripture selected for the occasion. The minister of the church, Rev. Lawrence H. Turner, introduced Mr. Youngman, revealing that lie and Mr. Youngman had some things in common. For one thing both had first been introduced to the iight of day in Old England, both had responded to the cal of adventure via immigation, both had become adopted sons of the Land of the Maple Leaf and both periodically wielded the pen by way of portraying human in- terest stories as columnists in The Canadian Statesman. Mr. Youngman. by way of a travelogue took his audience, be- ginning at Oshawa and termin- ating on the westward shore at Vancouver in a very interesting and skilful way. A human interest story centred around the town of Medora in the semi-western State of Dakota. Here in the early l9th century a wealthy son of France, a Marquis, settled, possessed of the grand desire to farmn on a gigantic scale, raising cattie for processing and eventual shipment to Europe. In the middle of his experiment the Marquis was called home by the littie Corporal, Napoleon, and subsequently lost his life in battle. Today on one side of the valley nesties the town of Me- dora, bearing the Marquis' name, whilst in an anti-phonal setting, the majestic residence built by bim reposes on the other side. A monument to Medora reveals to the visitor that here, a littie more than a century ago a French Mar- quis evidenced great faith in thel New World. Then Mr. Youngman sharedi with his hearers an interesting verbal meeting he had with a na- tive of Dakota, Upon enquiring and being told where the Sculee hailed from the cowboy-rancher disclaimed any knowledge oft knowing Ontario. This son of Unele Sam was quite sure that there was no place in the world like Dakota, Mr. Youngman agreeing but for a different reas- on. Said the lad of the range, "Why, we don't have to go to Canada for anything" wbereupon the Pontypoolian opined, "Why 90 per cent of your newsprint is processed from pulp importcd fromn my country." The lad of the saddle couldn't quite digest that. "However," said Mr. Youngman, "hospitality and courtesy were everywbere in evidence," this nature son of Dakota inviting Mr. and Mrs. Youngman to spend as long as tbey liked with him at the ranch bouse. Ed. is really a verbal pugilist wben it comes to upbolding the honor and integrity of Ontario in particular and Can- ada in general. May his tribe in- crease. Pusbing on westward, uitim- ately. lovely Vancouver was reached and the car delivered possessed of a sheen and glow the result of a wash job whicli took over two bours to achieve.

P. Union auadian West rthis purpase, "This is the first 1tîme in my experience that a car .bas been delivered possessed af rthe sparkie and sheen af this." Moralizing somewhat Mr. Young- man said. '"I have always urged my family when out working for others toalaways give at ieast a dollar and five cents worth of labor for a dollar in pay, neyer 1ninety-five cents worth of labor. Also, if upan taking on -an assign- ment for a dollar and they dis- caver the job is worth two dol- lars neyer to compiain nor skimp the job but ta give the maximum of service plus; the next time in assaying the worth of a queen assignment they would be that much sharper." As a result of in- tegrity in the delivening of the car. the owner of the garage piac- ed it at the disposai of the Young- man's plus a driver while tbey remained in Vancouver. The journey home by train from Vancouver via Calgary, Re- gina, Winnipeg and Toronto was gr4phically portrayed-the hum- an interest stories, a speciaity of the Bard of Pontypool-occasion- ing much interest. Finally the Youngman domi- cile reached, the semi-weary climb of the stairs terminating in the vista of the familiar bed with its just nigbt dips, humps, val- leys, etc. In the name of the Young People.
