12 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, April 14, 1976 SALEM The Salem unit of St. Paul's U.C.W. met in the church on Tuesday, April the 6th at 8 p.m. Unit leader Mrs. Ruby Shackleton opened the meet- ing with an Easter poem. The devotidnal was taken by group No. 1, and was in the form of a story about the life of Jesus, entitled "Secrets from a Roman Cask". It is about a Roman soldier, Marcus Gra- cian, and the supposed part he played in the flight of Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus into Egypt, and later at the crucifixion. The reading parts were taken by Mrs. Doris Craig, Mrs. Iva Twist, and Mrs. Audrey Shirk. At suitable intervals during the story, three verses of hymn No. 54, and later hymn No. 86 were sung. Mrs. Audrey Shirk favored with a solo "The Old Rugged Cross"- and Mrs. Twist and Mrs. Shackleton a duet "Lead me to Calvary". Botn num- bers were much appreciated.

We have examined the Balance Sheet of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education as at December 31, 1975 and the Revenue Fund Statement of Operations and the Capital Fund Statement of Operations for the year then ended. Our examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other supporting evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opinion these Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of the Board as at December 31, 1975 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for Ontario school boards applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year except for the change in accounting for fixed assets as described in Note 1. $ (29,299) 750,000 893,491 12,248 23,162 Cobourg, Ontario Marc h 11, 1976 J.
