The S6th anniversary services, OF

served last Sunday. Owing to
transportation facilities there were
not so many out of town visitors
as on previous occasions. Those
who were present enjoyed two fine
sermons. The guest speakers were
Mr.. T. Blair Ely, lay leader. of the
Peninsula Conference, at the morn
ing service, and Rev. Richard
Green, executive secretary Of the
Board of Education of the Penin-
sula Conference, at the evening
service. The choir rendered beau
tiful anthems. Miss Margaret Hart
was the soloist. accompanied by
Mrs. L. L. Carlisle.
Early Sunday morning, the fire
siren sounded, as pre-arranged, and
soon eleven large trucks were as
sembled at the firehouse. The
drivers received their orders and
were soon on their way to collect
scrap from the farming community.
The hard days work netted about
81 tons or more of scrap. The
firemen have good cause to be
proud of their scrap pile. The pu-
pills of the school are still enthu-
siastic and each day can be seen
adding their contribution to the
heap.
