Mrs. J. Warner, guest-speaker at the January meeting of the Lakeside A.C.W. chose the topic Oxfam. Canada has added an- other dimension to its program of international aid and relief . trade. The speaker remarked that Oxfam Trading Limited is attempting to provide markets for high quality crafts and pro- ducts of developing countries. It was interesting to hear that most of the articles are pro- duced in village cooperatives or cottage workshops unable to af- ford or obtain sophisticated mar. keting processes, and hav'e come to Oxtam's attention through governments, churches or other agencies. Mrs. Warner emphasized,' if you feel as Oxfam does that it is essential for world peace to bridge the ever widening gulf between developed and develop- ing nations one can enjoy help- ing in this endeavour. A dis- play of Oxfarn Trading wares preceded the tea party. ogg .4.... A special service to com- memorate the second anniver- sary of Christ Church Sunday School was held on Sunday afternoon.

Take time to read - it is the fountain of wisdom Take time to love .. it is a God given privilege Take time to be friendly - it is the road to happiness, Take time to laugh - it is the music of the soul. Take time to give - it is too short a day to be selfish, Take time to work - it is the price of success. ,0.
