Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments Choral Group Scores at Legion Ladies' Night A very promising group of young singers, The Treble Clef Choral Group under the direction of Mrs. P. N. Spratt, entertained at the Whithy Legion Ladies' Night last evening. Thirteen lovely-gowned ladies sang their groups of songs and knew what they were doing, musically speaking.

"Bolo artists on the program were also greeted with enthusiasm. They included baritone Frank Rosettani, accordionist Stella Burtinsky eg contralto Joan Wilson. Joan an Marcella Rousseau sang two very nice duets. Just back from completing his fourth year engineering course, John Spratt 7 .C.'d like an old hand at the game. Fun and hilarity on the program were in the form of two side-split- ting stunts participated in by the audience. At the close of the program Dis- trict Commander Frank Threadgold heartily thanked the performers and presented Mrs. Sprat{ with a cheque to be used for purchasing music for her girls. Then all pres- ent were entertained with refreshy ments and a social time enjoyed.

Endorse Work Of Recreational Association Whitby Ministerial Association met yesterday morning at the Anglican rectory with President Rev. Charles Malcolm in the chair. Motion was passed to make dona- tions from the association fund of $10, each to Whitby Recreational Association and to the local branch of the Bible Society. Rev. Gordon Channen read a paper outlining the yatue and methods of a religious survey of a community. A rather spirited discussion followed read- ing of the paper and it was finally decided to form a committee .of all active ministers for the purpose of organizing a complete survey of this community. Mr. Malcolm pointed out that many newcomers to Whitby have not yet associated themselves with churches and it was felt that a survey such as this would perform a needed service, contacting new citizens and bringing them into a church. It was suggested that laymen of the various churches should be ask- ed to undertake this work. Mr. Channen was asked as chair- man of the Recreational Association to acquaint that body of the readi- ness of the Ministerial Association to co-operate with them again this year in the work of the Fresh Air Camp for children. Upon invitation of Rev. E. Luff- man, of Greenwood, it was decided to hold the annual ministerial pic- nic at Greenwood Park on-June 18; Pickering W.I.

Ruddy Ministers Seek to Contact Newcomers Through Survey Possibility of a community reli- gious survey and the results to be expected was discussed yesterday morning by Rev.

Mr. Channen said: In every community of any size there are some people who, for low-up by each denomination is more important It should elimin- ate a great deal of overlooking and overlapping, and thus prove itself a Girl Softballers Organize May 2 A recent meeting representation from last year's irl"s Softball Team decided in favour of a Town League rather than playing a sche- dule with outside teams. It is hoped that enough girls will Tatars. The town hall was packed for practical and to those visited, to the Chris- tian ministers and to the Christian church, blessing to the visitors various reasons, do not receive at- tention from any Christian com- munion, and also a few whose af- filiation is such that they receive attention from more than one of the churches. The former sifua- tion is more common, of course, when there is a considerable influx of newcomers into the community. Many are too shy, too busy or too indifferent to let their presence be known to the clergy. Practically all of these have at least a nominal connection with some branch of the Christian church, but if we do not know of them we cannot minis- ter to them, and if we do not min- ister to them, their connection will become more and more vague and unreal. Some of these people 'we discover in hospital when we exam- ine the register, some we discover when they come to be married, some we discover only when we bury them as total strangers. The lines of communication from one parish to another are haphazard, and in spite of the most conscien- tious effort on the part of the min- isters they will remain so as long as people move from one district to another without telling us when and where they are going. Now if we count ourselves to be missionaries in any sense of the word. we have a responsibility to such people. On the purely nega= tive side we can silence some of the criticism of the church if we can reach these people. .

Miss Ambrose, though still quite young, has won recognition with many Canadian audiences as a so0- loist of great talent, Her render- ing of classic numbers as well as the simpler gospel songs is done with fine expression and sufficient dramatic quality to interpret the meaning and feeling of the author through the song.

A community survey is simply a religious census plus an encourag- to those who need it. To be accept- able and successful, it must have the approval and the co-operation of every major Christian group. Men go out, two by two each. team répresenting two derfominations to emphasize the interdenominational aspect of the approach. They ask in a friendly 'diplomatic way for names children's ages and chureh affiliation, 'hey do not insist if there is resentment but even that information may be of help. The information gathered is pooled" and shared the ¢ards distributed to the church or "churches concerned. There may be some who object to stating their affiliation or pref- erence, but likely they will be very few in number. Such cases are not very promising. No matter how great our desire for unity of spirit loyalty to Christ must usually find expression in service through some particular denomination, and the person who says, "One church is as good as another to me", is usually not an active worker, worshipper POWER INTERRUPTION .
