David Wren, of Burling- ton. 3 The Presbytery officers were ap- pointed for the 1951-52 term as follows: Chairman, Rev. J. L. Blair; secretary, Rev. W. J. Delve; treasurer, Mr. J. S.

Evans, of Georgetown, led in the opening worship of the afternoon session. The Annual Re- port of the W. M. S. was read, showing splendid advances in all phases of the work. Mrs. Reid, Oakville, presented the annual Report of the Halton Presbytery W.A. She stressed a desire that all local W. A. organi- tions should affiliate with the Presbytery W.A. While 18 have joined there are 10 local organi- zations who have failed to affili- ate as yet. Presbytery expressed its disap- proval of a speech by Mr. Gordon Conant in which he stated that legalization of gambling might be a solution to problems in that field. Dr. Gallagher, speaking on be- half of the refugees, stated that the problem was world-wide and that there were some 4% million refugees at the present time. The Church is called upon to help in placing the Protestant refugees in this country. SUCCESS SECRET Success consists, says the Cal- gary Herald, of getting up just one more time than you fall.

Rick Walton was the music maestro on Friday night, render- ing yeoman service in the record department in the absence of Pete Watters, who is going to carry on service in the control room until the end of the season. Welcome sight on Friday night was the reappearance of Ken Pollock and Don Rutledge, just returned from a vacation in Vir- ginia. From the stories we haye heard, Virginia must be a very interesting place. Saturday night found us up at the Watt's hacienda celebrating Marg's birthday. It was a regular Watt party, which naturally means that all concerned had a real good time.
