THOMPSON Correspondent COURTICE -- On Tuesday eve- ning about 50 gathered at Courtice United Church at 6.30 p.m. for a banquet in honor of the choir. A bounteous supper which was enjoy- ed by all, was planned and served by the Good Will Group under the capable leadership of Mrs. Cecil Simmons. ons . Our genial pastor, Rev. L. Som- erville, acted as master of cere- mony, added humorous touches with his witty jokes. After a rous- ing sing song accompanied by Miss llis Adams at the piano, Mr. Eddie Warburton representing both session and the Sunday School, pro- posed the toast to the choir. This was most ably responded to by Walter Shortt in which he unfolded some of the worthwhile things ac- complished by the choir, of which many are not aware. Russel De Coe, member of Board of Stewards, proposed the toast to the choir lead- er, Frank Walter, expressing the appreciation of the whole congrega- tion for the valuable services rend- ered so capably and so willingly. As ga tangible expression of thanks, Mrs. Herron presented Mr. Walter with a leather bound hym- nary on behalf of the congregation. Mr. Walter expressed his surprise and thanks in a few well chosen words after which all united in singing "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow". Mrs. Robert Barber, president of the choir, thanked all those who had in anyway helped to make such a pleasant evening. Mrs. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eyans, Uranium Sets Age of Earth At 5.5 Billion Years TORONTO (CP)--Using uranium as a basis for their findings, Uni- versity of Toronto researchers said Thursday they think the earth is about 5,500,000,000 years old. C. B. Collins, R. D. Russell and R. M. Farquhar, working under the leadership of Dr. J. T. Wilson, used the atomic reaction of uranium in their count. Uranium atoms change to lead at a regular rate. By com- puting the quantity of lead in uran- ium it was possible to tell when the process began. The 5,500,000,000-year figure co- incides with the age which geo- physicists and astronomers have set on the earth using other meth- ods of computing the cycle. 'Get Tough' Policy Blamed In Walkout KITCHENER (CP)--A dispute in the industrial products division of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Com- pany of Canada Limited resulted in between 175 and 200 employees walking off their jobs. Wilfred Weaver, president of lo- cal 73 of the United Rubber Work- ers (CIO-CCL), said Thursday night the workers went on strike in pro- test against what he called the company's 'get tough" policy. The company said the men ap- parently went on strike as a re- sult of new standards being posted. Sixteen tube room workers walked out over a grievance. Other employees in the division left their jobs in sympathy. Charles and Douglas also Mark Penfound were Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Penfound. Mr. and Mrs. H.
