They began holding meetings in the Dearborn home. Meet- ings were also held in the Christie and Dennis homes, these families being some of the founders. After some months it was decided to erect a small frame building on lot 1 of con- cession 2 in the Township of Bast Whitby, known as the North Oshawa Union S.S. The work of the church grew with the growing of the community and very soon preaching ser- vice was started first under the old Methodist Church and later the United Church of Canada. Many retired ministers "and college students have served this cause through the years. Some few years ago the late J. W. Borsbery, having in mind the development of the North Oshawa area, and know- ing how vital the work of the church is to any community, purchased for and donated to the North Oshawa Church a very desirable parcel of land to be kept in trust until such time as it. was needed for church expansion, About 3 years ago the existing official board met to discuss the overcrowd- ing in the Sunday School and the growth of the congrega- tion. It was then decided that the time was ready to proceed with the church building, large enough and modern enough to claim its rightful place as the centre of spiritual and cul- | tural activity in the community, 'The work began under the «capable direction of a very devoted building committee who | have spent long hours in an effort to give to North Oshawa a church of which they might justly be proud. The church has had many benefactors who have unselfishly given of time and material and other Bits which wilkadorn the in- terior of the church. 'We look forward to years of continued growth and de- Yelopment in the life of the church at North Oshawa. N Lay- Minister STEPHEN G.

Not since' the war of 1812 have either of the two towns ever pre- | pared for hostile acts against the { other. Even during that period the people of both towns refused to fight each other. | But the British forces, ever aware of possible danger, shi and ammunition into in case of hostilities, Stephen shipped her ammunition across thé border and joined in the "whoop-de-whoop."

Both towns draw their supply from the same source and the mains cross the border twice, going from | ong Stephen to Calais, from Calals | to Milltown, Me., and back across the border again to Milltown, NEB. The electrical supply, too, comes from the same company. When one town has occasion for 3 Sie Darade, it's a sure bet that a large percentage of the filag-wav- | ing marchers are from the other side of the border.

Construction of of tile new cold room and molst room started last year. The Highways i first started soil research in 1939 when it was evdient that construction and design of highways should be related to basic soil data.
