Enlarged Unite

Volunteers from the congrega- tion of Highfield United Church are working early and late this week preparing the church for re- opening on the 25th. S

For some years the growing con- gregation in this suburb of Char- lnlictown has been finding the 88- year-old building too small for lls nceds. especially the Sunday School. Highway improvements also left its position far from desirable. Early in the year the rohgregatiotl decided to move the building and renovate it.

Mr. Reid Sangster. St. Francis Xavier field worker for the Prov- ince of Nova Scotia in addressing a meeting of the P.E.l. Fisher- inen's Association at North Rustico last night said, "There is too much complacency or lack of interest; among fishermen who are all too; ready to blame the Governmenti or some other outside body tor con-i ditions which exist when the trouble is actually within themselves."

Mr. Sangstcr. with Mr. C.F Ri- chords. secretary of the P.E.l.
