100th and 50th Anniversaries Celebrated By Church Women When the women of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada meet in the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in Montreal on May 8th, 9th and 10th of this year, they will be celebrating 100 years of organized Presbyterian Women's Work in Canada, and the 60th Anniversary of the amalgamation of the Three Mis- sionary Societies within the Church. To celebrate this double an- niversary, the women of the Church undertook the following special financial projects: $18,000 for Fellowship House in Winnipeg, Manitoba; $10,000 towards a Nurses' Residence in Jobat, India; $7,600 for a Christian educa- tion Building in Taipei, ~~ Formosa; $2.5600 for the Hsin Chu Bible School in Formosa. Each of these has been over- subscribed. In addition to this, women throughout the Church entered their names in a special Book of Remembrance, This book has now reached 7 volumes-- one for each Synodical of the Society--and $24,259 has 'been 'raised to defray the expenses of the celebrations. The seven covers for these volumes are hand-tooled leather and are the handiwork of Miss Hazell Davis, a deaconess working in the Presbytery of West Toronto. Nearly all of the National Staff will be present at the Celebrations, representing every area of work in Canada and Overseas. Missionaries on fur- 'lough from work in Nigeria, India, Formosa and British Guiana will also be present. Miss Margaret Kennedy, of the Bhil Field in India, is fly- ing home especially to give the three main theme addresses on "The World for Christ", the motto of the Society.

Teachers Salary Schedule After years of negotiating without benefit of a fixed sal- ary schedule, Reach Township School Area Board has now reached an impasse 'in its deal- ings with teachers, and a salary schedule has been adopted. Eevery Spring, School Boards all over the country face the problem of making sure there will be a qualified, competent teacher in Johnny and Susie's classroom next September. This annual problem is more difficult in rural areas since graduates from Teachers' Col- leges prefer positions in more metropolitan areas. The pay in city schools is more attractive, living accommodation is far better and the transportation to and from school is no problem. Each year, teachers have been found to plug the gaps left by those who have served a two- year "apprenticeship" in rural |: areas. At the end of the second year, a newly graduated teacher obtains his or her teching Cer- tificate, and off to more lucra- tive posts. Reach Township is no except- tion to this procedure. It is very gratifying to School Board Trustees that a small nucleus of "old. guard" teachers choose to remain at their jobs in the Township. These few faithfuls | are those married women with families and homes in the Area. Their roots are here, so they decline the opportunities of | better-paid teaching positions and remain in the Township, The / School Area Board: has therefore decided to adopt a schedule of salaries in an effort to encourage younger teachers to remain for longer periods of time. It is hoped that experi- | enced teachers will also benefit substantially in the categories and levels to be incorporated. Applicants for vacant teach- ing positions will now be offer- ed salaries shown on the Sche- dule. 'As this is the first ques- tion a prospective teacher asks, the Board will no longer have to say "we don't have a salary schedule," / ' PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 9th, 1964 -- 13 Next Sunday morning the Church Service will be spon- sored by the Afternoon Unit of the U.C.W. Miss L. Werner, Missionary from Trinidad will be the guest speaker. Over twenty Senior Citizens enjoyed the hospitality of the C.G.I.T. on Tuesday evening, of last week. The guests were wel- comed at the door by members of the group and before taking their seats were ushered up front to view the lovely birth- day cake. A short Worship Service was led by the min- ister and the girls sang their hymn and repeated the purpose and motto of the C.G.I.LT. Then all joined in a sing-song with Jo-Anne Harris at the piano. A film strip, "Canadian New Farm Lands" was shown and this was followed by several numbers by the Male Quartette. This group consists of Almer Rennie, George Beare, Gordon Ward and William Stone with Betty Stone as pianist. It's a long time since we heard these gentlemen sing and it was cer- tainly much enjoyed and ap- preciated. Do it again, boys. The lady with the most birth- days to her credit, Mrs. Pearl Phoenix was given the honour of cutting the cake Next a few jrounds of crokinole were run off and this caused much laugh- ter and also many expressions of disgust when those discs went haywire. Apparently when folks become Senior Citizens something goes wrong with their fingers and they are not so good for playing crokinole. The prize winners were, Mrs. F, Beare and Mrs. Robt. Baird. A very lovely lunch was then served by the group after-which Mr. Robt. Brandon, on behalf of appreciation to the girls who had so graciously and efficient- ly entertained us, also to all others who had contributed in any way to such a happy even- ing.

This was the question asked | when the canvasser called on Mrs. X who went on to say she thought the "Government gave all the money needed for this sort of thing". "Why", she said, 'I even thought treatment was paid for under the Hospi- tal Insurance" The canvasser put Mrs. X on the right track; she pointed out that if a Can- cer patient had to go into Hos- pital, the hospital bill would be paid, if the patient were in- sured, But there is so much more than treatment. The Cancer Society is seeking to help scientists find ways of preventing cancer, through Re- search, through Education, and also seeks to help patients in many and different ways when they are being treated for Can- REAL ESTATE FOR SALE The Pines at Blackwater on No. 7 & 12 Highway frontoge. 4% acres of wooded grounds, more than enough large virgin Pine timber on this property to build the home of your dreams in a Park-like setting that is hard -to find.

Yes, these are the things that the Cancer Society tries to do and it is for these things they ask your help. Not only are you invited to give money to- wards the Fund, if you can, you are also asked to offer your help in other ways; by canvass. ing, for instance; or to help make Dressings for Cancer pa- tients. Did you know that a group of women in Port Perry has, regularly over the past nearly TEN YEARS made Can- cer Dressings, and that these are freely given to patients at no cost to them? Maybe you had never heard of this; these women are not only UNSELF- ISH with their time; they are SELFLESS too in this great work--they'll never tell about what they do. And others take time to drive patients to Prin- cess Margaret Hospital for treatment--this takes time, and all of us know how much has i to be done in so few hours each day. These are but a few of the things done with your dona- tions to the Cancer Society, Government is doing it's share and will spend over Two Million Dollars in Ontario this year. But the other things -- some. times called the "little things", but they mean so much to pa- tients--the Cancer Society will do them--WITH YOUR HELP. Be generous, won't you? AND REMEMBER, don't only give your CHEQUE; go to your doctor for YOUR CHECK- UP. "Stay Off The Grass Time" Parents are urged to instruct their children to avoid walking on lawns to and from.school. Even though we can't see any green grass as yet, the roots are still there and will be killed by constant tramping of little feet. : Children do not realize the damage they do when they cut across front, back, and side lawns at this time of the year. Teachers and parents can render the community a service by describing the efects of mot walking on the sidewalks pro- vided.
