'In the second. period Orono out- . scored Lakefield by tallying 4 to their 3. Junior West got a pair with sin- gles going to Robinson and Christie, Lakefield's goals were a pair netted by Hefferman and a single by Birch. In the third period Orono made a raliant -efforf to get back on top but Lakefield's defensive plays were too _ much for them and they also racked up the only goal in the third period when playing a man short; they broke away from a scramble around their own net and N, Wasson put the game on ice for them. Lakefield were hitting hard as us- .ual, drawing 5 penalties to Orono's 1. Orono are now faced with the task of taking three straight or being eli- minated, To Continue The members of the Lions' Club wish to express their appreciation of the wonderful response. to their Light Bulb Campaign.

The Lions Club trust 'that you will understand their inability to call on all as planned on last Monday evening and hope that you who were not con: tacted at that time will be teady for them tonight. The response has been so encourag- ing that the Lions are planning to be around to the outlying communities in about two week's time. If you are not at home tonight and you wish to procure these bulbs, or for that matter if you have a special order that you would like to have fill- ed, you cpuld contact the chairman of the committee, Mr, Tom Harris. We would again like to thank all who have co-operated in making this campaign the success that it is prov- ing to be.

The Service Club at their last meeting presented Edna with an inscribed Bible, These 'gifts from each of the organizations in which Mrs, Starkey was a member were tokens of appreciation of the great contribution that she has made to their work and activities, for Edna has been a willing worker, giving much time and thought to the projects under taken by the various groups. Mrs. Betty Porter, Mrs. Merva Clark and Mrs. Isabel Wright were hostesses of a surprise party at the home of Mrs. Wright. Many of Edna's closest friends were present and she was given a white beaded evening bag as a part- ing gift. At Bridge Club she was given a pig- skin wallet. Mrs. Taylor held a family dinner when the family gave Edna a 400- day Anniversary Clock. On Friday Mrs. Taylor will receive at her home in honour of her daughter.

His grandmother, aunts and uncles gave Glen a case for his movie camera, and a pen and pea cil- set. Murs, Starkey and Glen will be miss- ed very greatly by the community and their many. friends wish them much happiness and success in their new sur- roundings. We know that Edna will soon be busy with other church and community activities in the town where she will reside and that some other groups will benefit by our loss, but we hope she will remember her friends in Port Perry.

Federal Riding, in Whitby,, Wednes. day of last week. . Originally, both the Federal Riding and the Provincial Riding Associations were governed by the same constitu- tion. The alterations to the Federal constitution were deemed necessary with the possibility of a Federal elec- tion in the near future. The first amendment (o the con- stitution, moved by Terence V. Kelly, of Oshawa, affected by-law No. ne Mr, Kelly moved that this clause," which deals with notice of meetings, should have the following addition; that the secretary shall forward to the press, and to radio stations, within the Rid- ing, a release with details of the forth- coming meeting. This release to be made at least a week before each con- vention. The motion was carried. The second amendment, also moved by T. V. Kelly, was that nomination conventions should be d elegated rather than open, as is at present the case. This amendment he pointed out, would replace the eighth clause in the present constitution. Mr. Kelly added that the equivalent of two delegates per poll should be sent by each muni- cipality association. : Opposed to the motion was Ald. John Dyer, Oshawa. Mi. Dyer said that, although he dogs not "live in the past", he was proud of the way nomj- nation conventions had been carried out in the past. - : "With an open convention", Mr, Dyer said, "the door is open to all who wish to vote. With a delegated con- (vention, we would bar people who might well become good Liberals, and, perhaps, many who already are fitod Liberals, though not members of any association.' : "If we are going to win more Lib. erals," he went on, "it is obvious that we will not do so at a convention open only to those we already know to be strong Liberals. I think," Mr. Dyer concluded, "that a delegated conven- tion would land os in a genuine mess." Replying, Mr. Kelly said "Too much emphasis has been placed on the con-' ventions. The main point in winning an election is organization. A dele- gated convention is an excellent op- portunity to organize." Mr. Tom Harris, Liberal candidate for the riding in the last provincial election, said that a delegated conven- tion had been held in Sunderland, prior to that election, and that it had been very successful. "lI have no serious objection to one kifid of convention or the other," Mr, tended a Canservaiive open convention at Port Perry last year, and it was a. mess. Some cast as many as eighteen ballots, and there were many there with no interest in the election, who merely attended because they had been invited by friends." wouLn BE Mr. Harris concluded by saying "I hope to have my name put forward,' On a show of hands, the motion to amend by-law No 8 was carried by a vote of 23 for, and seven against, Mr. Dyer then moved that the 'mo- tion be amended by stipulating that alternatives be allowed to replace delegates who are unable to attend, on certificate by the secretary, Mr. Dyer's amendment was incorporated in the motion, . The date set for the nomination con- vention was Wednesday, April 11. It will be held in Whitby, although no decision was made as to which hall will be used. Evangelism In Our Time The manufacturer of a well- known product was greatly disturbed by rea- -son of the fact that his sales were not what they ought to be. He knew that the article he had to sell was the very best but somching definately was wrong. What was 'the trouble! His suspicions led him to believe that the difficulty lay in the promotion of' sales. So what did he do? He chose twenty ladies and to each of them he sent a new, crisp ten dollar bill and the following instruction. They were to go to their favourite store and pur- chase one item. If the clerk made some timely suggestions they were to keep on buying until the ten dollavs was spent, - Of the twenty who eh out to shop only two bought more than one item. "Now", said the manufacturer, "1 know where the trouble fies--we just have not been efficient salesmen," There was a time when the various churches looked askance at each other They may have been even suspicous of one anothers methods. But, to- day it is different. We are living in an age of trust and co-operation. We have the best product in all the world --the glorious Good News of Jesus Christ that makes for effective, more abundant living. The joint preaching mission to be held in the United Church from Map. 12-16 under the auspices of the three Churches--Anglican, Presbyterian and United -is evidence of our faith In each other and our willingness to co- operate in order that the product of God's love in Jesus Christ may be sold to all mankind. Furthermore; it is our belief that our missioner in the person of Rev. R. A. Crooks, M.A, "who comes to us from St. Harris said, "but 1 at- . 0 ns de | CANDIDATE | Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Parry Sound, nierits our fullest confidence.
