Unity Plan Is Success At Kedron Dating from days prior to those of the 'Ladies' Aid", Kedron women have united in their ef- forts to promote the work of the church in the community, and other good causes for commun- ity betterment. At the time of the building of the new Kedron church, of which the cornerstone was laid on March 29, 1952, one of the major projects was undertaken--that of supporting the building project with as much financial aid as possible. Accordingly a sale was spon- sored which netted over $300 for the building fund. Since 1953 a roast turkey dinner in the fall and a bazaar in the spring have been featured annually in fund- raising drives. Steady support of the WA contributed in a large way to the complete discharge of the building debt, and the possi- ble note-burning ceremony, in the fall of 1955. Last year the 28 members of the Association were pleased to report receipts for 1958, of $1626.73. Besides donations for the work of the local church, manse up- keep, and mission funds paid through WMS; money was fiven to Save-the-Children Fund, Re- tarded Children Fund, and other worthy causes. Of course, the sick and shut-in folk at Kedron are remembered with flowers or other expressions of good wishes, whenever the present committee are acquainted with the fact. Mrs. Douglas 'Love and Mrs. Jack Francis are the hard-work- ing conveners coping with this task, in 1959. This autumn with an every- family visitation plan under way, the usual turkey dinner plans were cancelled in favor of a congregational' supper meeting to be held in connection with the Sector plan.
