This would en-afolb the management to REDUCE HYDRO RATES at the end of three years and stilt have plenty of money to pay •off one debenture each year which would complete the payments in 7 years and then a further reduction -in rates -could be made as the system would be paid for. By not, owning our Hydro in the last three years we have thrown away $6,650.64 as shown above without getting any reduction in rates.

Ideal weather prevailed for the Officers’ Congress of Q-aha-wa Pres- bytery of Young People’s Union held in Orono on -S-a|tur-day and Sunday, October 29th and 30th.

OTBrien, of Whitby, in a most interesting way told of the con- ditions in war torn China, as was told to him by a missionary who had re- turned home on furlough.

Mr. Orme -Gam-sby favoured with a solo, then Stephen Saywell led in. singing after which Mr. Littlewood led in prayer and spoke a few words to clo-se the evening session. At 9.1-5 Sunday morning Miss E-lda Mount joy led in- the Fellowship theme before calling on Miss Frances Clarke, of Peterboro, and -Stephen Saywell to take charge of (two Fellow- ship groups.
