The meeting opened with a poem entitled "The Gift of Friends" read by Jean Pogue. Hymn 488, "Come let us sing of a Wonderful Love" was sung, followed by the scripture read-' ing? Psalm 1, Parrish. A prayer was given by Mary Ingleton. The Topic "Is Meditation an Art?" was taken by Jean Ward. A beautiful solo "How Great Thou Art" was sung by Jean Pogue, follow- ed by an interesting reading by Helen Parrish. The devotional part of the meeting was closed by the singing of Hymn 298, "Jesus the very thought of Thee". Some very interesting slides, taken in Alaska and British Columbia, were shown by Mrs, Gerald Gregg of Ux- bridge. It was decided that two baking sales would be held during the summer. One on Civic Holiday week-end, July 20th, and one.on Labour Day week. end, Sept. 2nd. After further business discussions a lovely lunch was served by the group in charge, verses 1-6, by Helen .Credit Unions At Montreal . It hasbeen a nice surprise having people tell us in-the Manchester Com- munity Credit 'Union Office' that they enjoyed the account list week of the Quebec day that was published in the Port Perry Star that we will be sure to make the effort to get the rest of the story in this week, and our thanks to the Star for using the material. By taxi..(an experience in itself) we travelled from Montreal station to the regional central for Montreal caisse populaire. This is another clearing house where eight young men do nothing but sort cheques from eight-thirty till five, no coffee break for young men but an extra half hour for lunch. This building also named for the revered Alphonse Desjardins is filled with insurance companies and associated services. The people 'of Quebec are following Ontario's lead in providing casualty insurance for their pepole as the need is apparently growing and their auto insurance parallelling Co-operators Insurance Association in Ontario spon- sored by credit unions begins opera- tions this fall. In this building we visited the vault. We have seen in mystery stories on television something like this but to experience it in the co- operative movement was something to make you proud. This vault was perhaps fifteen feet square and four people worked in it all the time. The door was a beautiful thing and look- ed more like a plece of fine craftsman- ship to be treasured than just a door. Twelve small safes stood around the room and a succession of mirrors showed the security man in the vault a clear picture of everyone wishing admittance to the area. This vault was a masterpiece of security. The manager told us that security in the caisse populaire movement is so good that every time there is a robbery the publicity given in the papers to the security measures has always re- sulted in a surge of new deposits. We from Ontario were surprised at the stir - which a woman manager caused, in Quebec a woman could not hold this position. They were fair in admitting that often it is a woman who does the work in her husband's .|name and that the situation should be changed. We visited the largest co-operative housing in Canada. We of course are used to co-operatve housing such as the three in Oshawa but this ono has a potential of 650 homes with shopping centre, school and church. This is the fifth year, they build around one hundred a year and you have a choice of five styles ranging from 8000 to 10,000 dollars with three or four bedrooms. You study for a year in the group before you may start, you build when your name fis drawn or if you wish.a special lot you choose your lot when your name is drawn and build when that section is being built in which your lot is lo- cated. We were able to inspect a new home and ask questions of the manager. In the evening we were taken by bus fifty miles into the Laurentian Hills for dinner and conversation af ter a tour of the city of Montreal. Farm Accident Survey A meeting of the Ontario County Farm Safety Council was held at Hau- gen's Restaurant, Manchester on Mon- | day evening, when the Farm Accl- dent Survey was studied. Accidents fn the home and on the farm ranked high, next to Highway accidents. From 166 accidents reported there , were 11 fatalities from some 3000 farms in Ontario County with 15,000 farm folk. Many hazards were listed and after consideration it was felt that safety education was the best method of pre- venting accidents. Mr. H. L. Fair, Agricultural Rep. of the County and Mr, Norman Ley- man were in charge of the meeting. Mr. Harold Wright of the Department of Agriculture, Engineer, O.A.C. Guelph was the guest speaker. About 20 representatives of the township and the Women's Institute were present to study the figures gathered by the survey. We expect to have a breakdown of the figures In the next issue of the "Star". Farewell Parly Mrs. W. F. Nott, ably assisted by Mrs. Alfred Prentice, entertained thirty guests at a farewell party, in honour of her daughter, Gladys and family (Mr, and Mrs. Phil Grendron, Michael and Paul) on Saturday, June 26th, 1960, on the occasion of their departure to reside in California, U.8.A. The first part of the evening was spent in progressive euchre, with both Gladys and Phil recelving the "hooby prizes", and Mr. Harold Mulli- gan and Mrs. Doug. Maundrell taking the: top prises. Mr. Clarke Ross of Toronto acted as Master of Ceremonies, and in Clarke's witty and pleasing manner wished them. good luck in their new venture, and on behalf of all thelr friends presented Gladys with a train case, Phil with a barometer and the boys with tee-shirts inscribed with "Toronto". Gladys and Phil thanked everyone, and all joined in singing "For they are Jolly Good Fellows", after which a salad lunch with all the trimmings was served. Gladys, Phil and family leave on July 6th to make their new home near Los Angeles, California, Oshawa Preshylery W. Asso. Meeting Mrs. I. F. Richardson presided at the regular June meeting of the Osh- awa Presbytery W.A, recently held in the Whitby United Church. When the roll-call was taken it showed a perfect attendance of committee chairmen. It was decided to have messages from these chairmen go to each local W.A. ahead of the Fall Rally which will be held in St. Paul's United Church in Ajax. The plans for the fall rally will be taken care of by a special com- mittee. Mrs. W. C. Sturtridge from the Dominion council W.A. will be the speaker. During the Executive meet- ing Mrs. Percy Pascoe of Almonds conducted a worship period. Mrs. M. C. Fisher, a member of the executive and also a member of the W.M.S. gave a brief report on the Bay of Quinte Conference especially in con- nection with the proposed federation and asked that the W.A. name a com- mittee to meet with a similar com- mittee from the W.M.S. to plan for steps towards the federation. After this committee was named Mrs. Rich- ardson played a tape recording of a panel discussion on this same subject. Those on the panel were Dr. Norman McMurray, chairman of the special committee working on federation, Mrs. J. H. Halpenny, secretary of the com- mittee, Mrs. E. E. Long, president of the Dominion W.M.S. and Mrs. J. Y. McKinnon president of the Dominion Council W.A., and questioned by Nancy Edwards. The recording was very educational, answering many questions which have arisen in the minds of the members. At the end of the business meeting the following members of the Whitby W.A. served afternoon tea-- Mrs, B. C. Roper, Mrs. Will Ellison, Mrs. Charles Broughton, Mrs. Erle Bond, and Mrs. Abbot Price, under the leadership of Mrs. A. E. Sturgess. Oshawa Preshyterial WMS Nearly 150 women of Oshawa Pres- byterial W.M.S. United Church atten- ded the display of supply work at Ebenezer United Church on Monday. This is a joint effort of all the Auxi- liaries, Mission Circles, C.G.LT., Mis- <fon Bands and Baby Bands through- out the Presbytery. The articles in- cluded toys, new clothing for children of all ages, quil(s and a crib quilt, as well as a supply of clean, good used clothing all of which goes this year to the Indian Mission at Alderville, Ontario. Four vocation packets have been sent to the West. Present to answer questions were Mrs. Carl Down, Presbyterial supply secretary, Mrs. Robert Muir, Ebenezer Afternoon Auxiliary supply secretary and Miss Jean Gay, Ebenezer Even- ing Auxiliary supply secretary. The guests were welcomed by Mrs. K. C. Hopkins and Mrs. W. J. Brown and the attractive tea room was con- vened by Mrs. Elmer Down. 1061 supplies will go to the Archer Memorial Hospital, Lamont, Alberta. "MEET THE » DINNER.
