ebenezer united church met at the home of mrs a frank on the first of february the devotional period was led by mrs page the parable of the good samaritan was read the story of the ten lepers was told setting forth the faith of the one who was a samaritan in the discussion which followed racial prejudice was the natural outcoming subject and two points of view were noted the first thai there would be no withholding of christian brotherhood towards those of other races than our own and secondly that these same different races should be more in dependent in seeking universal equality with those whose color is other than white members were asked to try to realize how jewish listeners of jesus day would feel about the story of the good samar itan reports were read from mrs thomson and mrs dunbar on their respective mission bands the for- imers contributed 32 and the let ters 7 immediately following this meet ing the wa read its yearly report 1162 was taken in by the various activities during the year and after all expenses were paid and obligat ions fulfilled 140 was left to begin the new year needy families in the district were commented on and are to be looked after many letters of thanks were read the study book was ably sum marised by mrs slinn the subject was indian reserves difficulties in caring for the indians were lack of funds medical help and hospit als churches are trying to help better the living conditions and standards the fact that missions are run on a competitive basis by various groups is confusing to the people there is no lack of faith however irr the

recovered from all his troubles and is now very much a live wire that is why today feels like the morning after of course he has become badly spoilt especially in regard to meals so i imagine his mother is going to have quite a time getting every thing back to normal partly be cause she seems very rundown her self and hardly able to cope with davids exuberant spirits what a tremendous power of comeback ehlldrcnv apparently possess to look at dave now it seems impos sible that a little while ago he was so sick yesterday was such a lovely day we were thinking they would be here but as the afternoon wore on we began to give up hope then they arrived and the reason for the delay was an accident on the queen elizabeth way that held up traffic for over an hour however they finally got here and presumably they rot back again safe and sound knowing what the traffic is like takes away half the pleasure of having ones family come to visit yes parents get plenty of headaches these days when their children are travelling the highways and then the children arrive and say in sur prise what on earth were you worrying about we were all right well in view of the current talk on a national health plan we asked dec and art what daves illness has cost them the answer 750 for hospitalization plus special nurses surgical and imedical care there were also incidental expenses which brought the total cost close to 1000 partly covered by insurance there you have a pretty fair sample of what it means to bring an ordin ary child back to normal health compare that with the everpre sent financial burden which many parents must carry who have a re tarded or permanently afflicted child in the family i ask you do we need a national health plan in canada to get on to a lighter topic we are still enjoying our television but we have reached the point of weighing its advantages and disad vantages watching and listening to a good story is quite a pleasure up to a point the point of ho re turn if there comes an interrup tion before the story is over well thats that you cant turn off the set and then go back again to get the finish of the story of course everyone knows that but knowing bro ernest g wilson named halton master the annual orange county lodge meeting was held in the ioo j hall milton on saturday february 4 there was- a very good attend ance from all lodges in halton also- present were guests from several other counties including three from arthur county master parr from wellington county and two meih- bers from guelph lodge county master drury peel county and two district masters from peel and the grand lecturer bro r w block who conducted the installa tion of officers for the county the following officers were elect ed and installed for 1956 county

to the printed word and find the story exactly where you left it unless in the case of a weekly newspaper someone takes the magazine section to light the kitchen fire maybe that is one reason why publishers are not too concerned about thd ef fect of television on the reading public i think what i enjoy most is the telecast of a wellknown story robin hood for instance the scenery characterization and the stage props are just about per fect no doubt it was produced primarily for juvenile entertain ment but it takes an adult to ap preciate such an artistic and auth entic production well the weather has been mak ing the news again i cant imag ine what england is like in such extremely cold weather i heard one announcer say it is the coldest winter since 1892 that is a little before my time but i heard my mother speak of that year quite often it was the year when the river stour in suffolk froze solid for six weeks and my father used to skate along the- river to a nearby village a distance of over three miles here at home we have had a lit tle of everything one day after a sixinch snowfall the snow in the lane was soft and skiddish i got stuck at the top of our lane because the back wlwcls wouldnt follow the tront wheels which resulted in the car doing a sort of crabwalk the next day at the bottom of the lane i waited fortraffic to pass before driving on to the highway that did it when i tried to start up again the wheels spun and i was down to ice partner had to- come to the rescue with ashes oh for a ear with snow tires but alas snow tires are what you cant get for an english car however i felt a lit tle better when i saw a towtruck coming along with a big newish- looking car trailing behind another thing happened last week which must have come as quite a shock to many readers of the fam ily herald the death of maud m kerr womens editor mrs kerr was an energetic but kindly and sympathetic soul who had won a place for herself in the hearts of
