Since these funds were solicited by our members on a volunteer basis, there is no overhead and the total amount will be channeled, to humanitarian needs. Each year brings new crises, to demand your sympathy and help.

At the conclusion of this year's campaign on December 31, 1979, the total contributions made by the public and by our joy the satisfaction of knowing they also have had a part. In time of tragedy it is not alone the temporal help people receive that is important, but also the feeling of brotherhood demonstrated by such aid, even between people of differ- ent races. It is this that helps renew their spirits and makes life seem worth living again. We are happy for the support of our many friends and wish to publicly express our deep thanks for their concern which they have translated into generous gifts again this year. Sincerely yours, David Toop, Pastor Seventh-day Adventist Church Consider Job Training Plan The Northumberland Newcastle Board of Education is taking steps towards provid- ing students in vocational courses with on-the-job experience. A co-operative education program to incorporate voca- tional training and practical work experience for Northumberland Newcastle secondary students is now in the development stages. The concept of the program, which is already working in other parts of Ontario, is to combine theoretical teaching with practical work experience related to indivi- dual students' career goals. A five-mar advisory com- mittee for the western region, which includes Courtice, Bowmanville and Clarke High Schools, bas been appointed by the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce. This committee, consisting of Richard Elston, Jack Locke, John Pogue, Charles Clarke and Earl Wolff, will represent the business sector and will work in conjunction with the school board toward the planning and implementa- tion of the program. In charge of the program is Charles Kennedy, Co- ordinator of Special Services for the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education. National SkiWeek Denise Challice, at left, was presented with a Junior Service Certificate by leaders Minnie Zegers and Donna Scott. Raymond Chapman acted as an assistant to Mr. James, helping arrange the sound system. Guest speaker at the meeting was Edgar James, R.R. 4, Bowmanville, who showed slides from his trips across Canada over a number of years. He is shown here preparing his presentation equipment, with his wife sitting alongside. WESLEYVILLE Sunday morning's weather was not the kind to encourage ehurch goers, nevertheless there was a fair congregation at Welcome. On the way someone saw a poor motorist trying to dig his small car from the median of 401 where it was almost buried. A tow truck was pulling another vehicle west but there was no indication of an accident. At ten-thirty there was very little -traffic but by noon it had built up considerably. Rev. W. Kennedy conducted the opening exercises until Rev. Geroge Lavery arrived from Garden Hill. We often speak of dedicated saddlebag preachers braving the elements but it took a little courage to face storm and slippery roads from Kingston to conduct service at three churches during the morning. The choir's anthem was "Great is the Lord, and mighty in power". Rev. Kennedy's story for the children concerned "Bailey's Mistake", the name of a tiny village perpetuating the memory of a seasoned sea captain's one mistake when he ran his boat on the rocks. The mistakes we make are hard to forget. Rev. George Lavery, of Bay of Quinte conference staff spoke on the outreach of the church, using the story of Jonah as a text. He emphasiz- ed that Christians are expect- ed to nurture others, not as a choice but as a requirement of faith. It seems the more affluent a people become the more they want. t is a danger that all must watch, of putting too much effort on local affairs. It is necessary to keep up the local unit or there will be none to support outreach but 80 per cent seems too large a share. The universality of God is love. On behalf of the Outreach Committee and the congregation, Rev. Lavery was thanked by Mr. Tom Wilson. Mrs. Wilson conducted the conclusion of the service, that Rev. Lavery might leave for the service ai Canton. The offering was received by Clarence Nichols, Alin Osborne and David Kellogg. Yellow and white chrysanthe- mums made a bright spot on a stormy Sunday. The UCW of Welcome Church met there on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 18th. A meet- ing already postponed once, then a second time from the stormy day before. Weather conditions even that day were what might be predicted for any day in January but over thirty ladies from both groups were present, making their way through drifted drive- ways and over slippery high- ways. This number included three visitors, Mrs. Glen Jones, Cobourg Road and Mrs. J. Cummings and her daughter-in-law from Port Hope, R. R. 1. The programme was in charge of the executive and a delightful change from the usual was prepared by Mrs. Mary Kellogg and daughter Ruth and presented by Mrs. Kellogg and Mesdames Donna Chestnut and Gladys Farrow. The topic was "More for Less" and a whole meal was cooked before the audience. Ingredients, in true TV style were prepared beforehand, with dough for loaves of bread kept warm on a heating pad. They were shaped and put in pans to rise; ingredients of soup were put on to cook, while a very special dish with soy beans and other delectable ingredients was parepared in an electric pan. Whole wheat crackers, corn bread and granola were the other foods prepared and left to bake while the other part of the meeting was held in the smaller room. The general business was conducted by the president, Mrs. Mary Kellogg. Reports were read concerning finances and work accomplished during the year. Those who planned to attend Presbyterial on Feb. 6th were counted, although no decision was known about an area bus. Arrangements for the World's Day of prayer was left with a committee. Recommenda- tions made at the executive meeting were approved, including a motion to increase the allocation instead of making a large over and above at the end of the year. Business of the local unit was in charge of Mrs. Tom Wilson with minutes of the December meeting ready by Mrs. E. Barrowclough in the absence of Mrs. Roy Austin, secretary. A sum of $200 was voted for the general fund and programmes for the coming year were distributed to all members. A special meeting was planned for April with a speaker from the administra- tive staff in Toronto who will bring a message concerning the programme for "The year of the child". Other UCW groups will be invited to this meeting. This group bas paid fees since the days of the W.A. as a means of raising money but it was decided to drop this practice as every lady member of the congregation is automatically a member of the UCW. Devotions were conducted by Mrs. E. Barrow- clough and Mrs. Margery Ashby using hymns for the new year, "Standing at the Portal", and in tune with the programme, "Break Thou the Bread of Life". Scripture lessons were from the parable of the sower, and the story of Zaccheus, with meditation based on them, and a poem "The Water Wheel", was read. There were 14 present. By this time the food was cooked and baked to perfec- tion, and as each lady receiv- ed a copy of all the recipes, SALE 50% OFF Porcelain - a little bit of everything!
