e P _ During the Christmas season of 1938, for the first time, the whole Christian world was represented at Madras. In all, some 479 delegates, from 69 different countries, met to take council together on their many problems. Mrs. Taylor referred briefly to the difficulties confrontâ€" ing the church at a time of crisis in the history of the world. Certain large areas wereslosing to the gosâ€" pel of Christ, there were more nonâ€" Christians than there had been in Mrs. Taylor‘s address on the Madras Conference was one of great interest. _ ‘ > f g;s. K. Thompson read the ripture lesson, taken from John 17i1â€"21. Miss Marjorie Emberson introâ€" duced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Hugh Taylor, who for ten years was engaged in active misâ€" sionary work in China, until 1936, when she became Foreign Missions Secretary to the Women‘s Missionâ€" ary Society. She was one of five United Church delegates to attend the Missionary Conference held in Madras, India, in 1938. The meeting opened with the singing of an Easter hymn, followed by prayer. After items of business had been disposed of, Miss Myrtle Simpson read a letter from Dorothy Pearson, which gave an outline of her work as a teacher in the Girls‘ Home Economics School at Neeâ€" much, Central India, and told of her varied experiences during the past year in the mission field. The regular monthly meeting of the Dorothy Pearson Auxiliary was held last Thursday evening in the arlors of Central United Church. II:/[iss, Nattress, president of the Auxiliary, welcomed all members and a large number of guests from other church organizations in town. Special music for the evening inâ€" cluded a vocal solo by Mrs. White and a violin solo by Miss Roberta Emberson. Both were accompanied Mr. Kenneth Thompson is one of a family of five, one sister Miss Lois has been a teacher in King Street School for a number of years, but is now ‘transferred to Regal Road School in Toronto. His younger brother Gordon, a well known figure in Town is a teacher on the staff of Memorial . Public School. He is a son of the late Dr. Thompson who died in 1921, and Mrs. Thompson who is a resident of Weston, It is a notable fact that his family, on his Mother‘s side â€"Continued on page 3 Ken was born in Strathroy, Onâ€" tario, and lived there for the first six weeks of his life, from thence the family moved to Collingwood, and up to now the youthful councilâ€" lor has been a resident of Strathâ€" roy, Collingwood, Arcona, Toronto, and Weston. He is a graduate of the‘ Weston High School, and has been in the: Insurance . business since the year 1923. His first busiâ€" ness experience was with the Ocean Accident Insurance Corporation, he then joined the Canada Life Assurâ€" ance Company in 1925 as cashier and: later ‘as> congervation superâ€" visor for the Toronto Branch. In 1937 ‘ he joined the active‘ sales free, a field which offered greater scope:for his capacities, but which also demanded greater initiative and . unflagging concentration to asâ€" sure succeess. Mr. Thompson <has be e n an outstanding producer among the members of the.Canada Life‘s sales force both in Canada and in the United Statés. During L939 Ken led ‘the Toronto Branch in â€" continuous weekly: production, making the honor roll 12. times, during 1939, and ended up in 7th place among the leaders of Canâ€" adian and United States Branch on a points basis. His. present position with the Canada Life is Estate Anâ€" alyist. This position requires a thorough study of succession duties and the handling of Estates as a whole. He is one of three Estate Analsts in the Toronto Branch of Canada Life. 3 World Evangelism Aim Of Modern Christianity In April 1920 there came:to Wesâ€" ton a‘ family that has meant a great deal to the public and comâ€" munity life of the town. A member of that family about whom we ars especially concerned at this time is Mr. Kenneth Thompson, who is wel known to so many as just plain "Ken" Thompson. He is serving his first year as Councillor of the town of Weston and is really making his presence felt at this early date in his municipal career.

Superintendent Harry Study got so tired. of exâ€" plaining that the design was an ancient symbol of industry and agriculture long ‘before Communâ€" ism that he hired a stone cutter to remove it, Following the benediction, a social halfâ€"hour brought the evenâ€" ing to a close. Miss Nattress and Mrs. Pawson presided at the tea table and were assisted by members of the social committee. Mrs. Taylor emphasized the spirit of fellowship which prevailed durâ€" ing the entire conference. In spite of profound â€"differences in their ideas on theology‘ and on many other things, the. people found a common basis of unity in their loyalty to Jesus Christ, and their belief in the "one way of life" which Christ revealed, as the only hope to hold the church together throughâ€" out the present chaotic and strifeâ€" torn world. Mrs. Pawson proposed a vote of thanks to the.speaker and to those who had contributed to the program.

There is still a vital living church in every part of the world; small in numbers in some sections, stronger spiritually in others.. Mrs. Taylor spoke optimistically of its growth in strength during the past ten years. The task of the church today is "world evangelism", Mrs. Taylor maintained. Madras sends a mesâ€" sage to all Christians to yield themâ€" selves to the task to which God has called them, to frequent His altars, to be His witness in their own comâ€" munity and throughout the world. Only as every Christian seeks to do God‘s will, can Christ reign uniâ€" versally. _The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Weston Workingmen‘s Club held their election â€"ofâ€"officers.â€"for «the coming year.

On <â€"Wednesday and Thursday evenings, April 10th and 11th, St. John‘s (Anglican) Drama Club will present their third annual play. This year it is "Aunt Tillie Goes To Town". This bright and amusing play was written by Wilbur Braun especially for Samuel French, the largest play publishers in the world, and is being given here by special arrangement of said publishers. Dozens of plays were read and just when Mrs. Cameron was becoming discouraged and losing patience, somebody mentioned "Aunt Tillie Goes To Town". A copy of the play was sent for and eagerly read. That night it was taken to the director‘s home and read before the group of eager amateur actors and actresses who were going to play in the next production. It was selected as their next play without one dissenting voice. This play has some of the funniest scenes ever to be written into a farce. It is novel and inâ€" genious, has loads of pep and action and is thoroughly clean and wholeâ€" some. This performance is going to be .one that the whole town may be proud of. The Tag Day conducted by the Society for Crippled Civilians on March 30th yielded $6,182.52, acâ€" cording to B. E. Parks, Secretary of : the Society. That is far from being sufficient to provide the artificial appliances on present applications or to extend the work of the Training Centre, stated Mr. Parks, but we will have to get along as best we can. There may be_some interested persons who will still send in donations and this ml}‘ helg_ to bring the total up. aee o Pn T 7 B s CETRE NRCTERT SMLEY Dr. W. 8.

She was a life member of the Woman‘s Auxiliary of the Missionary Soâ€" ciety of the Church of England in Canada, Honorary president of the Mothers‘ Union and the Women‘s Parish Guild of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mount Dennis. _ The many floral tributes and messages received from her old Church friends manifest the high esteem in which she was held. Deceased was born in London, England. Mrs. Walker, nee Minnic Lanning, came to Toronto where her father operated for many years a store on Yonge Street. Practically all her life was spent in the East end of Toronto. After a lengthy illness Mrs. Minâ€" nie M. Walker, of 59 Bartonville Ave., widow of the late Raymond Walker and mother of the Rev. R. P.

Dennis MOVIE CONTEST WINNERS PAGE 4 Woodbridge â€" The _ way out of the present catastrophe is by a device which will function in storm as well as in calm. The international organizaâ€" tions which are (1) the Churches, (2) the World Court at the Hague, (3) International Labour Organizaâ€" tions, (4) and the League of Naâ€" tions, but these have all fallen before antiâ€"social groups, who use force instead of justice. So the speaker asserted that antiâ€"social nations must be treated in the same way as antiâ€"social or criminal inâ€" dividuals in the community. They must be restrained by force, after the justice of their case has been studied. The League of Nations failed because it had no power to enforce its sanctions. All the naâ€" tions were willing to talk but exâ€" pected Great Britain to make all the sacrifices. Responsibility must be shared to ensure peace. While no one expects peace withâ€" out economic readjustments and The present conflict finds parallel to 1815 when Castlereagh and Welâ€" lington, who followed Pitt and Nelâ€" son, slayed the original European dictator, Napoleon. â€" Castlereagh made the distinction between Naâ€" poleon and the French as has Chamberlain between the Germans and the Nazis, and so toâ€"day we have an ally in the French. Toâ€" morrow it may be Germany! The one encouraging feature of the present situation is that Soviet Russia has torn off the mask and exposed to the world the folly and cruelty of materialism as a philosoâ€" phy of life. Little Finland has ecarnâ€" ed the gratitude of the world. It was international night at Rotary, and the speaker Rev. R. ‘Currie Creelman, who, with Mr. Alex. Little, has recently been initiated into the Weston Mount Dennis Rotary,Club, was the speakâ€" er. The speaker quoted the sixth object of Rotary, "To encourage and foster the advancement of underâ€" standing, goodwill and international peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service". However, the general qutlook for world peace is not hopeful. The only immediate certainty being one of unrest and the desitre to keep the war from spreading. It was the opinion of the speaker that this is possible, since it seems improbable that Italy will become a befiigerent and Japan is so exhausted from the China venture that she would only attack a prostrate Britain.

His one hope and ambition is not to become Canada‘s best pilot alone, but to become Canada‘s oldest pilot. "I hope to be not known as one of the most outstanding . pilots from the point of stunt flying or anyâ€" thing of that description, but I cerâ€" tainly hope to be known as Canada‘s oldest commercial pilot". Asked if he had had any incidents or experiâ€" ences during his time in the air, he stated his only experience was one when returning from a meteorâ€" logical‘flight his.engine died out at an altitude of 13,000 feet, but he successfully landed without any mishap and got out and walked to the hangar.. â€" _ In 1933 on the airport later taken over by the Dominion Government, situated on Trethewey Drive, Jack learned how to get up in the air. In 1934 he successfully passed his examinations for a private pilot license and in 1935 he added to his laurels his â€" commercial â€"pilot‘s license. During the winter of 1935 and 1936 he flew the meteorlogical weather survey flight from the Toâ€" ronto Flying Club where he headed the class of ground school students in aeronautics. ®jeon nmnomeonennneenieeoonecooeomcemieoemitenrcreccen a ef mm mmennenn einainimn en n omnee0 ce neercnn netne n ar When a Weston citizen steps into a Transâ€"Canada aeroplane to hop across the continent he is very liable to be piloted by Mr. Jack Holley of Weston.

In Weston itself â€"several deals have been completed with the town Council since the first of the year, particularly in the Eastern section of the town. A series ‘of homes have been built on William Street under the National Housing Act and it is reported by the builder, Mr. Hurst, that he has nearly double the number already done, on order.

In Malton quite‘ a change has taken place industrially and domesâ€" tically in the building situation. Not to be outdone Mount Dennis points with pride to the large comâ€" modious social centre opened last Friday on Eglinton Avenue. The occasion marked still anâ€" other forward step in the. comâ€" pany‘s progressive policy in emâ€" ployee relations.. The location of the building is adjacent to the Kodak plant at Eglinton Ave. near Weston and district is apparentâ€" ly in for a building boom in homes and a boom generally in Industry. At the North end of the town in the Township of North York is a vacant building that has been idle for the past eighteen years, but which reports have it will reopen shortly for the production of plane parts.. The property comprises twentyâ€"two cares of land and a factory with more than an acre of floor space. Erection is also to be made of a $75,000 office buildâ€" ing. Clovelly Chapter.
