We aren't certain whether our men believe in Women's Lib or are just a little hen-picked but they left the decision to the ladies who gave it a resounding 20 to 1 go-ahead vote. The dinner will take place on the usual date -- the first Wednesday in November. Unit 1 was in charge of the devotional led by Mrs. Nobbs. Others taking part in this Thanksgiving program were Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. McNeil, Mrs. Keen and Mrs. Wray. During the business period reports were received re- garding the manse re-dec- oration and the purchase of the stove for the church kitchen. A committee for planning the turkey dinner was appointed and also a nominating committee. The ladies want your Canada Packer labels as another coffee perk is needed.
