C. Perron, who has been transferred to the parish of Ra- more, Ontario. A dinner prepared and served jointly by the ladies of the Altar Society and lady parishioners was most enjoyable, and was attended by a great number of the congre- gation. The tables, gaily decor- ated by large bouquets of early summer flowers were resplendent. Jack Lingenfelter spoke for the 'parishioners in paying high tri- bute to Father Perron for his 'un- selfish devotion to ithis parish, -to the very.degree of injuring his health. It was also brought to mind in Mr. Lingenfelter's address the great progress made in the parish in the formation of many youth organizations and in the parish it- self during Father Perron's stay. Father Perron was also highly complimented for his unselfish de- votion and was wished well in his new parish by Miss Theresa Quen- neville, who delivered a farewell message in French. Presentations were then.made to Father Perron as follows: George Quenneville presented Father Per- ron with a wallet containing a gift of money from the parishioners whom he served faithfully for sev- eral years. 4 Mrs. Ernest Boyce, President of the Ladies of the Altar Society, also presented Father Perron with a gift of money. The Knights of the Altar, represented by Bill Lingenfelter, made a presentation as did also Miss Anne-Marie Noel on behalf of the Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament. Jack Lingen- felter presented a large bouquet of red roses from the League of the Sacred Heart, stating that the red roses were a symbol of love and devotion.

He told those present that they must bear in mind that the great success and progress attributed to him in the past, was only possible because of the great co-operation he had received from his congregation. Father Perron's closing words of, 'I may be leaving you, but I shall never forget. you and a great part of my heart shall remain with you forever," will be remem- bered by the many grateful par-! ishioners present. Father Perron's successor will be Rev. Roland Be- cote of South Porcupine. Pickere!
