Hampton United Church celeb- rated its 62nd anniversary on Sun- day. Oct. 22nd. at 7.30 pm.
The church is situated on a hill
overlooking the little village oi Hampton and can be seen from quite a distance from the village. It presents a very pleasing sight. resplendant in a. new coat of white paint. The church was built in the year i389 during the ministry of the Rev. Dan Macnean. and was situated on what is known to the villagers as the "Corner". Last year. to facilitate the Trans-Can- ada Highway which passes through the settlement. the church was moved to the left of the misuse in the direction of the village of Crapaud.
The building has been renovated, redecorated throughout and now rests on a full sized basement. which the congregation hopes to be able to rise to good advantage in the near future.
The anniversary service was conducted by the minister of the church. the Rev. L. S. Woolfrey.
Hampton United Church Celebrates 62nd Anniversary
iv. '
The guest preacher for the even- ing was the Rev. W. T. Mercer of Mount Stewart. chairman of the Prince Edward Island Presbytery. Mr. Mercer took his text from the 6th chapter oi Galations, the 10th verse. ”l..et Us Do Good To All Men."
He emphasized in his sermon the importance of practical Chris- tian living; he exhorted the con- gregation to live lives that squared with the standards of conduct implied in the teachings of Christ.
The music was under the direc- tion of Mrs. Mark Cameron and the hymns sung were: "All People That On Earth Do Dwell", "0 Worship the King", "We Love the Peace 0 God." "The Church's one Foundation". Musical numbers were endered by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur MacKay and the Cornwall Trio.
At the close the visiting preach- er and choir guests were served a delicious lunch at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Cameron. The ev-
ening closed with a hymn-sing.
Strange But True
By I-'. H. MacArthur
The custom of burylnl-I the dead goes back to the time when primi- tive man feared the presence of a corpse and the spirit which they believed had caused his death. At first the burial of a. dead body was a crude act. A hole was dug in the ground and the body thrown into it and covered with earth. stones. and wood. The idea of the wood and stories was to keep the spirit from escaping from the body. For the same reason some tribes danced upon the new made grave.
with the passing oi time, man began burying his dead with pomp and ceremony and religious rites. followed by feasting and drinking.
The ancient Vikings buried their kings and queens in their ships. This is supported by a com- paratively recent discovery of a queen and her maid by an Osc- burg farmer while he' was dig- ging ii. trench.
Bibical history throws much light on the Egyptians custom of anointing and emnbalmlng their dead. a method whereby they hop- ed to preserve the body indefinite-
ly.
The largest cemetery in the world is the catacombs at Rome. Seventy feet below the surface of the cum all passageway: and windings that form a seemingly endless labyrinth. where lay the bones of several million human beings.
Many references to burials are made in the Bible. which gives us a fairly clear picture not only of the burial customs of the He- brews but also oi their neighbors. But burial oi the dead is not a universal practice. There are cer- tain savage races who do not in- ter their dead even today. They leave them to rot where they fall. or. as frequently happens. they are eaten by wild beasts. or de- voured by birds and insects. in parts of Mongolia dead babies are thrown to wild dogs that live wholly upon human flesh. Think of it! The first actual coffins. as we know them, were used- in Egypt. Why did the Egyptians use cuf- flns? They believed that the spirit would return to the body at some future date. so the body must be kept habitable to receive ii.
The pyramids are nothing but gigantic coffins built by the kings to conceal their bodies until the spirit should see fit to return.
Burial in tombs was reserved for the wealthy and great: ordin- ary people were buried in rude stone compartm t
Turning now to Greece. we find that this country cremated their dead. but the ashes were buried in urns.
buried since the earliest times. Their coffins are elaborate and ornate and strange as it may seem, many wealthy Chinese car- ry their coffins when they go on a. Journey, just in case. ,
The use of tombstones goes back to remote antiquity. These markings on graves were to keep the evil spirits from getting out and to mark the spot so that it could be avoided by all passers. so we see that the custom origin- ated for the purpose of warning people away from the tomb has become a custom for identifying one grave from another.
At first those grave markings were crude stones but man's van- ity finally spread to the cemetery and we note in the various bury- ing grounds in this Island and other places, headipieces that are costly and even ornamental. the Browns doing their best to erect tombstones more costly than the Smiths.
The Crreenlanders cremate their dead today. They also burn everything belonging to the de- ceased believing that there is dan- ger of pollution from the evil spirit until the odor of the corpse has passed away.
. . e
Many races practicrd crema- tion. and the custom in India is thought to be a relic oi Aryan practice. indeed, the burning of the dead was once so widespread that it would undoubtedly have become a universal practice had not the christian doctrine of the lessor- rection of the body discouraged the custom.
one oi the most interesting concerns the Mandaeans who wrap their dead in buffalo skins and expose them on a sort of scaffold. suspended at a height of ten feet. when a group of bodies are e'n- lirely decomposed. the bones are taken down and buried in a single grave.
In the British isles. it used to be believed that the souls of those who died abroad greatly desired to come bck to rest in their "sin country." It was therefore the duty of relatives to return the
corpse to its native soil. or course the idea behind the whole thing was ihat the soul would never be able to rest among slriuigcrs.
It is still it common practice
in most countries to bring their dead home for burial, and hardly a week passes that we do not read of 'somebody's remains 'being brought back to their native sol!
for burial among their fore- fathers. A few instances of mummified
bodies have been brought to light in North America. No doubt the relatives of some powerful Chief who lived centuries ago. Whether this was natural mummification or artificial we shall never know.
Many early peoples took wives

Talllllonien Join Ass'n In Great Brjljin
LONDON. Oct. 30-(AP)-The British "Association of Women With Large Feet" reports today it is becoming a power In the land under a new name: "The Associ- ation of Tall Women."
Long-stemmed ladies through- out the Un-itedKingdom are join- ing up at the rate of 50 a week.
Dress manufacturers have hast- ened to heed the Association's dictum that big girls can't wear frocks styled for the average dumpy doll of five feet three.
Shoemakers who hitherto spec- ialized in footwear for the feel. of cops and postman have hurried into production with a line of oulsized women's wear.
It was not always thus.
The Association was founded
iPAGE THREE
on dispiuy
two years ago by a group of gan- gl-ing girls in Skipton. lt lang- uished for 18 months. There was. something about the title ”Women,l With Large Feet" which did not! seem to appeal. I
All this altered with the change! of name and the decision to ad- mit all women who are five feet! eight or taller. and never mind, the shoe size. There was a rush: of new members. .
"It must be remembered." ihrf Association explained. "that tall women have a slightly exaggerat- ed sense of dignity."
Mcrchan-is who please the As- soclation by going out of their way to stock longer-than-standard sizes are rewarded by having their names placed on a-preferred list circulated to all members. This has worked wonders.
The Association still has one largely unsolved problem: nylon! stockings are scarce enough ."iei'e. in any case and size; suitable for tall girls are well nigh unob- tainable.
In this connection the five-looln seven clu-b of New York made a nice hands-across-the-seas gest- ure.
They sent over a dozen pairs oi nylons 40 inches ion-g-four incli- es longer than standard-with enough dollars to pay the duty.
