Ties with, Family Tracked Down Af ter 60 Years fllm A Maple Grove man has found two members of his famnily after losing contact with themn for over 60 years. After making a telephone call to his brother in London, England to confirm the authenticity of a letter telling him that an uncie ,had traced him, Frank Carter had to take a deep breath to allow the surprise to settie. "When you get a shock like that you begin to wonder if it's real, " Mr. Carter said in an interview last week. The 64 year-old bus driver earlier this month received word from Edward Carter, the only other surviving member of his immediate family, indicating that he had just been reunited with their uncle. The uncle had been trying to track them down for more than 60 years, the letter stated. The two brothers were lost hope of ever finding other members of the family, he said. The uncie,' however, turned up on Edward Carter's home in Southampton recently wîth news that another couisin was living in Toronto, having traced him with the help of the Salvation Army. "We didn't even know we had relatives until these two turnedup", explained Frank Carter. Mr. Carter, who has been in Canada since 1930 and has only seen his brother twice since then, is excited about the possîbility that other relatives from his mother's side of the family are stili alive.. They met when he was in England with the RCAF during the Second World War and again last summer when his brother flew over for a visit.

Mr. Libke was a former RCMP officer and is presently employed by Winchester Canada Limited as Advertis- ing and Public Relations Manager in the Cobourg office.

President Clare Martin opening the business part of the evening, called on Joan Sutcliffe to read the minutes of the last Annual Meeting.

WESLEY VILLE' This week's weather gave no cause for, grumbling. There were no severe storms, just to be expected cold. Sunday morning was a continuation of the pattern and this week's caretaker arrived safely to sweep snow off the steps at Welcome United Church but found them with little more than when he swept them on Saturday. It is very diffîcult to find anyone in the country with free time to be an ail year caretaker, so members and adherents care for the church on a voluntary basis. Each family is in charge for two weeks, each year. Sunday morning's service was in charge of Rev. W. Kennedy with the junior choir leading in "The joyful noise to the Lord." Their anthem was, "You are playing your part." Nerforn a deth&-def ying act. The responsive psalm was the first part of no. 40, in which the psalmist tells his gratitude for God's help. Evidently he was familiar with bad î4oads and compared God's help to being pulled out of a hole. H1e expresses gratitude, with thinking that seems more modemn than his time. The sermon was based on "Let us now praise famous men - James the Less was a disciple ton. There are many unsung heroes in history and today as welI. They were the reason that after the first world war, in a way to recognize the part of the ordinary soldier, one casualty was chosen whose name was known, only to God and his body placed in an honoured place in the country's capital city and known as "The Unknown Soldier", so in him honour, was paid to ail of them. Ushers were John Gould, Gerald Byers, David Kellogg and Ronald Rowan; Gerald and Caroline Byers greeted the congregation'at the door. Bible study was held as usual at Welcome last Tuesday morning with partic- ipants from Garden Hili, Canton and Welcome. Ladies were given a rest fromn quilting this past week s0 were able to get caught Up with home chores. The former Arnold Austin house and barn buildings came down last week. Whether, or not the hydro station at Wesleyviile is cancelled or postponed, the face of the lakeshore area at Wesleyville has bèen changed completely. 1TrES THE YrHITS NWHT SPO CARIESPL1IYVISITSAUNTSLIKESANTIES CLIMDS THE PEAKS, PLATS L, DOESITALL.
