Both leaders had received Long Ser- vice Medals a few years ago. Although taken completely by surprise, these young gentle- men thanked those in charge for the thoughtful gesture in recognizing their long term of office in such a delightful tan- gible way; but stating that their reward of service was attained by the pleasure and comrade- ship of the young generation that they ha dworked with for so long. They expressed their wishes for continued success in the local scout organization and complimented the members of the group committee for the wonderful work and co-opera- tion that has been carried on by these busy men, and sincerely trusted that the committee would be able to secure new leaders to carry on this wonder- ful work.

On Wednesday evening a good representation of the Scugog Charge of Prospect, Manchester and Scugog gathered at 'Grace' United Church to spend a social time together and extend best wishes to the Gilberts hefore they leave to give their service farther east at Foxboro. A short programme had been planned with Mr. Maurice Fra- lick as M.C. and the even began with the singing of 'Blest Be the Tie that Binds" Miss Margaret Vernon, Pros- pect rendered a vocal solo "Bless This House" accompanied by Mrs. Byron Holtby at the piano. Then Mrs. Bert Gray gave a reading "Tomorrow." It gave occasion for thought to thode who are always putting off necessary duties. The piano duet by Marilyn and Beverley Manns was the next pleasant number. Mrs: D. Aldred's read- ing on "The Master is Coming" could have almost been a sequel to the previous reading. Miss Susan Roach of Manchester de- lighted the audience with two vocal numbers taken from South Pacific. Rev. Gilbert added a touch of humour to the evening in a monologue he had used in his College days. It represented an English gentleman with 4ccent and familiar saying of "Don't you know?" Then he read some French excerpts from Henry Drummond's poems. Mr. Drum- mond was an M.D. who prac- tised in Montreal and wrote comic poems to relieve the ser- ious look on long faces he saw about him. This book was "The Habitant." Mrs. R- Fralick and Mrs. C. Aldred shared their musical tal- ents in a vocal duet, accompan- ied by Mrs. Beckett at the piano. Mrs. Earl -Reader's read- tng on "The Master's Touch" used an old violin as example of what can be accomplished. With Rev. Gilbert at the piano throate and voices were loosened up in an old fashioned sing-song- Finally Mr. M. Fralick asked Rev., Mrs. C. Gilbert Honored Prior To Leaving Scugog Rew. and Mrs. Gilbert to take the big chairs at the front. Then Mr. Byron Holtby read the fol- lowing appropriate address and Mr. Clinton Midgley on behalf of the Charge presented an orig- inal oil painting. The artist Mr. Erkki Jalava is Finnish and has lived in Canada since 1954. The majority of his subjects are Ontario scenes. As Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert are very appreciative of colour and form, they expressed delight over this gift and said it would always hang in their home- Then all retired to the base- ment for a pot-luck lunch, where the following address was read : Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert: We are gathered here this evening to show in a small way our appreciation of your ser- vica to us during the last three years. We are sure that during your stay on this Pastoral Charge you have formed many lasting friendships.

To you Mrs. Gilbert, with your friendly smile and plea- sing personality we will have happy memories of our assoc- iation with you. It has been said that if we want a better world we must be better people and so there must be a great deal of pers- onal satisfaction that you as a minister have chosen to spend your life frying to do just that, and we are sure that your in- fluence has been felt through- out this charge. As you go to your new charge we wish for you and Mrs. Gilbert contentment, happiness and success in your service of the Lord.
