Tyrone United Church met at noon i the Tyrone ÈCommunity Hall to discuss ren- 1ovating the church. The meeting begaxi with a pot luck dinner which was enjoyed by a consid- erable number o! the church members. Interest i the sug- gested projeet became quite keen, and R. B. Glaspell, who was ap- pointed Building Fund Treasurer, began at once to solicit contribu- tions. The results were very sat- sf actory. L As it was feit desirable that as much o! the work as possible be done by the people o! the coin- munity, mexi were organized into five grouN with ane named as foreman for each. By this ar- rangement it was made possible ta do the work required while at the saine time calling upon each maxi for only one day's work each week. The plan proved very sat- isfactory, and the results beyond expectation. The Board at once got li touch with Mr. Harry M. Brooks o! Osh- awa, W'ho gave invaluable advice and suggestions with reference to tearing down, and to rebuilding foundations, walls, and floors, as well as to purchasing.much of the materials. He kept a watchful eye on the whole work from turne to time as it progressed. An exi- couragîng word froin Mr. Brooks was frequently a 'deciding factor ini overcoming some discouraging bog-down, and the work now has gone forward to the point where it appears probable that services will be resumed i the church about the beginning o! March. The interior at any rate should be complete by that time, although the construction o! sidewalks, outside painting and general clcaning up will have to wait un- til spring. At present it is still difficult to estimate th@ total expenditure. It will be i the vicinity o! $8,700. At this date contributions by members and friends o! the church amount to $4734.51, leaving a de- ficit o! approximately $3,966.00. Anyone wishing to help coin- plete the fine work which has been done will find the treasurer, Mr. GlaspelI, prepared for any event- uality. He always goes out arm- ed to the teeth with cheque books, pens and receipts with which to meet the needs o! those who wish ta contribute. The Board is indeed grateful to those who have given financial assistance, especîally those who are not adhenents at Tyrone. Nagicians Delight Youthful Guesis AI Lions Club ""Boys and Girls Nightf" The Monday meeting of the Lions Club held i Valentine- deeonated St. John's Panish Hall was strictly for the youngsters.

A Cocker Spaniel Setting up a box affair, Mn. Magician cailed it a "Wishing Box" and asked youngsters what they would like hlm ta praduée. Ordinarily, a yauthful crowd such as that attending the Lions Mon- day pragram would call for a nabbit, but Bownianville kids are différent. "What would you like me ta Stake out of the box?" Mn. Magic- !~an asked. *"Let'sa ee you take a dog ou,"M anc little customer asked. "What kind," Mn, Magie came back non-plussed. "A cocker spaniel," was the answer. However, like it or not, the yaungsters saw a rabbît emenge froin the magie "'Vishing Box", which, appanently fan anc yaung tyke, was nat so magie because she did-n't ge t her cocker spaniel. Ted Bradshaw encountered a little difficulty with bis nope tricks for no matter how hard he at- tempted ta cut a nope li two and thexi make it whole again, his littie audience was skeptical.

Courtice, of Courtice Corners, about 2 p.n. Saturday afternoon, killing sev- eral head of livestock and de- stroying over 23 tons of cattle fodder. Believed to have been started by an over-heated light socket, the blaze mounted to a raging in- ferno by the time the Bowman- ville Fire Brigade arrived on the scene. Considering the barn lost, firemen concentrated on saving two adjacent buildings, one or the north end, the other on the east. One of the buildings con- tained two barrels of gasolirie. According to a reliable source, a registered year-old bull, a two* year-old heifer, a cow and a young bull cal! were destroyec in the blaze. Eighteen tons of baled hay and five tons of alfalfa were also destroyed in the fire along with 210 bushels o! grain and some small farm machinery. Seven cows and a two-month-oid calf were saved. Chief L. C. Hooper and six fire- men of the local Brigade fought the blaze for approximately two hours and were successful in sav- ing the two adjoining buildings. According to the Fire Chief, wel water had to be pulled up by buc- ket to keep the 90-gallon booster tank filled in order to render the fire fighting apparatus effective. Ice on a nearby creek was broken but mud, flot water, was encount- ered. Called to a fire earlier Satur- day morning at the home o! Lloyd Snowden, west of Maple Grove, the Bowmanville Brigade arriv- ed to find a chimney fire had been quelled by the owner of the house.

Prayer, an annual world- wide occurrence, held in Bow- manville in St. Paul's United Church, Fniday, Feb. 9th. There was a good attendance o! ladies at the afternoon service and a special printed order of worshîp was followed. Mns. W. H. Carruthers took charge o! the first part o! the program, "A Prayer For Peace," and the Caîl to Worship. Much o! the service was read in unison. "Adoration" and "Penitence" sec- tions were led by Miss Flora Gal- braith. Mrs. Warren N. Turner, wi!e of the rector o! St. John's Aniglican Church, was leader o! the section "Assurance." "Dedica- tion o! Self" was led by Mrs. John Aldsworth o! the Salvation Army. "Intercession" was led by Mrs. M. J. Hutchinson, with the fol- lowing leading in prayers: Mrs. L. T. McLaughlin, Mrs. H. Moes, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. J. A. Living, Miss H. Johnson, Mrs. E. Will- atts, Mrs. Ken Werry, Mrs. W. P. Rogers. A!ter a prayer repeated in unison and the Lord's Prayer, a solo "Hear My Prayer" was sung by Mrs. Merkely. lI an address based on the theme o! the service, Mrs. (Rev.) H. Moes, began with the words:i "We are still in a. world o! stnife1 and !ear." At the !irst World1 Day o! Praryer Service, 26 years ago, people were giving thanks1 for the end o! a war, thought to 1 end ahl wars, but it wasn't.1 Women then and since have been praying for peace, has it done nor good? Fear characterizes our timei today. There are many fears, 1 political fear, o! Communisin,t economic fear, fear o! hunger, and1 physical fears. The fear at thes root o! aIl is fear o! God, because1 there is unforgiven sin i men'sa hearts. People know when facîngr death that there is something be- i yond death. People have fear o! meeting God. Although thene is good and beauty, and people doing wonder- ful things ini the world, there is not the love people should have and peace desired is not received. As Chnistians the love o! God lin our hearts is a cure for fear. Christians don't have to be a!raid. If the love o! God is in our hearts, we cannot hate our brother; lack o! love causes wars. It is our duty to show the love o! God by loving our brother. We can express that love through money given to supply bibles to help those who do not know about the love o! God, and through prayer. lIn homes and communities be- gin a life o! love, provide necess- ary religious instruction to child- ren who are% the future o! the world. Make our community a Christian community froin which will corne the leaders o! the world, else Russia will give her instruction. Our duty is clear, Mrs. Moes proclaimed, God takes away fear. Our words, our deeds and prayers must show love. Mrs. W. H. Carruthers again presided to close the meeting. Throughout the service Mrs. Reta Dudley was at the organ. The service was one o! good fellow- ship and worship together in which ladies o! ail religious de- nominations in Bowmanville par- ticipated. An evening World Day o! Prayer service was also held this year. This service was inaugu- rated last year for the benefit of those who are unable to attend meetings ixi the a!ternoon. Even- ing Societies frorn St. Andrew's, St. John's, St. Paul's, the Salva- tion Army and Trinity Church ail took part, contributing leader- ship and prayer. The service fol- lowed was the saine as ixi the afternoon with the saine fine music froin Mrs. Merkley and an inspiring address froin Mrs. Moes.

Penthouse Serenade ta the end o! the Home Waitz, the annuai Hxgh School At Home was one again the big event o! the year, and a huge sucess.

"Switzerland- A Pattern for Peace"" Subject of a Most Impressive Talk ai Rotary Club by the Swiss Consulaie With aven 650 years o! individu- ai fneedom -i its historie back- ground and, boasting more thaxi a century o! peaceful negotiations with other nations, the middle- European country renowned for its scenic beauty and charm may well bear the complimentamy title: "Switzerland-A Pattern for Peace." Speaking at the Rotary Club luncheoxinlx the Balmoral Hotel Friday, Anto R. Lende o! the Swiss Consulate, Toronto, used this title for a revcaling picture presentation intended as instru- mental ixi the "fostening o! dloser undenstanding between free coun- tries." Mn. Lende 15 akin to a world traveller anid although he is now a citizen o! Canada and presently resides li Toronto, lie has lived ixi France, Germany, Italy and Austria as weli as his native Switzerland. With the aid o! coloured slides and a projection machine, Mn. Lende is attempting to brîng Switzerland dloser to Canada and to the minds o! Canadians. While the pictures proved the great beauty o! Switzemland, the speak- er's accompanying na rr at io n bmought several startling points to light. Swltzerland la Prosperous Switzerland is a prosperous country with one-third o! its area covered by snow. It has no sea port and produces no raw ina- teniaIs and although she boasts o! mighty mountains, there 15 no gold, silver and other commercial metals o! value to be found in the country. Stili, Switzenlaxid is one o! the great independent nations li the world and claims the high- est standard o! living in Europe, if not the wonld, for the past 75 yeans. "Quality," said Mn. Lende "'is the nation's watchword." Three hundmed years ago the first watch was made ixi Switzerland. Today, 90 per cent o! the watch move- ments used li the womld corne froin this little European nation. Considering each watch has ap- proximately 120 parts, the alle- gation "Switzerland is almost synonimous with good quality" is nat strange. This country o! 4,500,000 people and comparable to New Bruns- wick in area, is composed o! four distinct nationalities, speaking four distinct languages and hav- ing four distinct backgrounds. xIn the heart o! a turbulent world, these four classes, descendant o! France, Germany, Italy and Spain, forin a cultural "paradox for the world," accomding to Mr. Lende, who said they are bound togeth- er by a tremendous unity. Un- like reference made li the West- ern Wold, a citizen o! Switzer- land is neyer referred to as a "French Swiss," or a "German Swiss," by a fellow countryman. World Peace Possible The speaker referred to the unity o! Switzemland as a unique situation in the heant o! Europe today. Because o! womld hates, "Pessimists believe theme is no hope for Europe," Mm. Lende told Rotanians. "But to these pessi- (Continued on Page Fourteen) Florence Nightingale Lodge Observed ls 801h Anniversary on Feb. 81h A large number o! membens o!

While the meal was being served by ladies o! the Re- -bckah Lodge, who catened, music was pmavided by a six-piece banid froin Oshawa. Noble Grand James Nakes in- tnoduced the guest speaker, Bro. Ed. Youngman o! Pontypool. He referned ta the guest speaker's many qualifications, with partic- ular einphasis on his journalistie abilities as a columnist for The Canadian Statesman. Bro. Youngman said he would base his talk on the word "Neigh- bons," as this would be in keeping with the theme of the celebration. He toucheci brie!ly on his per- sonal histany and how he, o! Irish birth. had came to Canada from London. England, &rounid the turne o! the exadus o! U. E. Loyalistsj froin the States. The feeling among the settiens at that -time was very strong against the na- tion south o! the border. Today, due ta the policy o! neighbor- liness and. practisîng the doc- trin o! "Amn I not my brother's keeper?" the twa great nations o! the new womld live side by sie with only an imaginary line for a border. To illustrate, he re!erred ta the many thousands o! Ameni- caxis who visit Canada each year. Hê also related his experiences whiie he and bis wife wemc visit- ing li the U.S.A., anid how, when aur neighbors ta the south found they were froin Canada, eveny- thing passible was donc ta make thein feel at home.
