by arlof after h p moores death i am yours sincerely ethel coleman brown progress in your first issue of may hh i note a letter written by lydia c j kerr regarding churchld united church and her fathers work in the ministry i well remember rev h cald well and have on many occas ions helped to cover the radiator of his model t ford to keep it from freaking in severe winter condition the letter started me thinking of the daya i spent in ndrthern ontario and the ministers who walked miles through the bush to hold services in various house holds sometimes there was only one family occasionally as many as six families there has been a great deal of progress since the early days of our country when ministers at first walked then rode horse back when the roads were im proved they used bugglesand cut ters then came the ford and other cars mission boats and aeroplanes have been used for some time and recently a minis ter mentioned he had travelled by jet what is the word for all this it is progress progress as rev caldwell progressed in chanting from horse and buggy to auto mobile in order to serve the people better settlers met for worship first under trees or in homes then built churches many churches of different denominations were built at the country crossroads at the time of church union in 1925 the presbyterian metho dist and congregational churches amalgamated to become the un ited church of canada more re cently the evangelical church has joined them and there are talks between the anglican and united churches yes joining together in pro gress to serve in the work of christ more adequately we at churchill united church are facing a change it is said that you cant stand stm you either go forward or backward in these changing times are we progressing and going

truly andrew e welch publicity for local 2 mm saw workers union clc school accident may 14 106s dear sir i read with interest in last weeks free press the ps boards discussion on an accident in the school gym when a girls wrist was broken the report read quale mr mokenxle had been in contact with the parents he reviewed the usual procedure in which record are kept the home contacted and a ride pro vided to the home or doctor he added that the physical edu cation supervisor warned him accidents could be expected although those facts were reviewed in this caw these pro cedures were not enforced i write with authority as the girl in this particular ease was my daughter joann she fell whilst doing pt and at this hme in addition to her class teacher mr mckenxle and mr mcneil were in the gym at the time joann was then sent back to her room and at the end of the afternoon her teacher asked if there was anyone who would help joann home with her books she was then dismissed with the rest of the class and with the help of a friend walked in her shorts and with a coat over her shoulders from robert little school to tldey ave she got as far as the friends house and from there i took her to the hospital on getting back from the hospital i tried to con tact mr mckenxle and was told he waant expected backuntll late he phoned the following morning whilst i was at the hospital and then sent a note home with my other daughterwhlchldidnotfeol was very satisfactory i tried unsuccessfully to contact him again that night hut it was not until friday morning that i actually got to talk to him i quite realise that accidents can happen to anyone at anytime but what i object to is when a 11 yr old child is sent walking home on a coldwlndyday woarlng shorts following an accident in
