First of all, I would like to stress the fact that the ambu- lance service is an essential one and the purpose of it's availa- bility on very short notice, To illustrate this I had four calls two. weeks ago, which needed an ambulance, two of them at 2 a.m. in the morning and the other one at 6 p.m, for a child who lives in Reach Township ajig who had a con* vulsion and needed oxygen, and the ambulance and I arrived within 10 minutes and brought the child to the hospital, 5 The ambulance service in Port Perry up to now was ex- cellent, was always competent and available. To my surprise, last week's Port Perry Star published an ad. without signature, which gave us a list of ambulances available in Lindsay, Uxbridge, The Editor =X Oshawa, Sunderland & Bowman- ville, and their respective phone numbers. [ fail to understand how we can get these here in an emergency, Who will be responsible for calling them; who will pay the long distance bills; whe will pay the extra charge involved in mileage and who will be able to wait for their arrival? Last Sunday there was a car accident in Reach Township and people had to be transferred from this hospital to Toronto, and it took exactly three hours to get the ambulance from Ux- bridge after telephone calls to the Reeves of Reach and Port Perry. If the surrounding municipali- ties are going to give this kind of service for the Shel; of their. tome Af he, dsc VOIO Ur this area object to this very + strongly and will have to de- communities; wo arise for lack of fast and effi- cient ambulance service. From now on, we will call the Reeves of the surrounding Townships at any time of the day or night, whenever it is necessary to make arrangements. Yours very truly, Dr. S. P. Kandel On Wednesday evening of Feb, 2 seventeen ladies of the "Head" U.C.W. met at' the home of Mrs. Jack Manns. The theme, previously chosen, was missions, so the opening thought was about Paul in the following sentences: If studies had been taken in the: Roman Empire in 66 A.D. on religious preference, they would have shown 51% for Ju- piter, 30 for Zeus, about 9 for Mithra and about 1% for Jesus. So, St. Paul, who was promot- ing Jesus might have gone home and said the heck with it. But St. Paul stayed -- and that made the difference. The Hymn--"In Christ there is no East nor West" was fol- lowed by prayer entreating God to help us see the Creator's vi- sion for his people and a will- ingness to do our various tasks to fulfil this plan, Mrs. Reta Wilson conducted the Study "The Gospel of a New World". Rev. Teskey was very helpful in adding informa- tion that led to deeper thought in the questions and discussions. .The roll call was "A profit- able project" or a Valentine symbol. We now have- geveral ideas upon which to work. The Sec'y read messages of thanks and appreciaton for Christmas remembrances from Mrs. Allison Leach. My. & Mrs. Roy Collins, During -: the business period there wag nu discussion of future gifts and sympathy donations for funerals. . The amount was raised and it was decided to consider memorial funds instead of flowers. The preference of the family to be honoured. We shall again collect nylons and used clothing for a Spring bale. 2 Four members will attend the Presbytery on Feb. 15 in Osh- awa. The Hospital committee re- minded us of a forfeit calendar for May. a diminishing tea has been started, but little informa- tion was available for the Spring Fair. 7 % FEL No) FLA SYRYRE BST POAT evening meeting of the Annual+y SCUGOG NEWS A March Euchre for Mar. 26 is still not certain. There was some discussion of the World's (Day of Prayer which is near at hand. During the Jprogram Beverley Manns entertained with a piano selection. Mrs. Beryl Peéarce gave an interesting review of Brazil and the place of the mis- sionary in that country. Mrs. Marie Clark provided an inter- esting flower contest. It was necessary to name 18 flowers during lunch preparation. The results proved quite revealing as to where many interests lie. Sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Reader upon the Qereavement of Heather's father who passed away in Oshawa, suddenly on Saturday morning. Mr. Thomas Clark a frequent visitor and part time resident of Scugog Island in former years passed away Tuesday morning in a Michigan hospital from ta throat ailment. Mr, Clark was a brother of Mrs. Oliver Reader.
