Evening Auxiliary Holds Easter Thankoffering

on Friday evening, March Slat... the .Ea.ster Thanisoiifortng Service of the Evening Auxiliary of the W. M.S., Trinity United Church. was held in Heart: Hall. with the President, Mrs. Stanley Thompson piesiding.

The meeting opened with the Hymn "Look Ye Saint: the sight is Glorious“ followed by script 'o reading by Mrs. Gerald Down s and prayer by Miss Emma Holmes. A very pleasing number was the trio sung by Messrs. Donald Wood, Robert Agnew and Lcith Thomp- son. “I Love to tell the story", with Mrs. Edwin Johnstone as accom- panlst. Miss Holmes. in an Easter meditation. spoke of advances in Christian Missions and the chal- lenge to go forward. A solo "There is a Green I-fill Far Away" was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Keith Henry.

Mrs. Thompson told of the or- ganization of the Auxiliary by Mrs. Hugh Miller, and its well loved President for several years. To mark the fifteenth anniversary of the formation of the society and honouring Mrs. Miller. it has been agreed that our Society be now known as “The Mary Miller Aux- iliary of the Women's Missionarv Society". -

The Auxiliary was privileged to have Mrs. H. E. D. Ashford as guest speaker. Having spent several years in Mission work in India, Mrs. Ashford spoke from personal ob- scrvation about some oi the cus- toms of the country. She mention- ed the very many religlous festiv- als heid. the origin and religious significance of which were lost in antiquity. Among those she de- scribed was the spring festival. a month long celebration. There were many others, some of merely local importance, and some of counta- wide interest. The speaker said that one of the difficulties a mis- sionary in India had to face was that there were so few Christian festivals to offer to the Christian people in the place of the pagan feasts in which they had formerly taken great pleasure.

The service closed -with the sing- lng of the hymn "Oh Zion, Haste Thy Mission's High Fulfilmen‘.'.", and the Mizpah Benediction.

A short business session was held at the close of the service, when reports were received and other business transacted. This meeting closed with repetition of the Lord's Prayer in unison. ,

P.E.l. Nurse thick in ii. S. After Duty in Alaska

RANDOLPH FIELD, Texas - Dog races, but not the kind they bet on-in Miami, and a carnival queen robed in a fur parka are among the most. vivid recollactio brought back to the School of Av- iation Medicine here by Lieuts. Janice Feagan and Katherine Mac- Donald, flight nursés, following 45 days of temporary duty in Alas‘.:u. Lieutenant. MacDona1d’s home is in Kilmuir, near Montague, P.li'.I.

Lieutenant ruigan of the 831st Air Evacuation squadron. and Lieutenant MacDonald of the School of Aviation Medicines Head- quarters Squadron, were recently assigned to Military Air Transport Service for 46 days. With station at Great Falls, Montana, they made frequent runs into Alaska, and Lieutenant Feagan made invo evac- uation fllghts far out on the Aleu- tian chain to Adult!

But what impressed them most were the dog races at Anchorage, Alaska, and queen of the Fur Ren- dezvous Day, B big holiday in Alaska not unlike our own state fairs, except for the trimmings. ‘libero the Alaskans followed the American custom of crowning a queen on their big holiday. and she received her crown robed in a. heavy white parka.

The dog races were the chief sports event of the carnival, with Eskimo dog teams racing against time over a H mile course. The races started and ended on the main street of Anchorage, and .i unique feature of this was that truck loads gf snow had to be haul- ed in and dumped on the street for the races. Ordinarily the main streets are swept clean of snow.

Lieutenant Feagan says that out at Adak on the Aleutian chain the temperature usually hovers stand 30 degrees above and because of this unusually “hot" weather air- men refer to flights out on the chain as the "banana run".

However. the Tender- foot knots were mastered and the girls knew most of the remaining tests. At Camp Fire the girls sang the Musicai Festival sonfis. yes. the 1st East Royalty Company are entering. and what competition for our 1st Central Royalty. They can sing beautifully. it was a joy to listen. Evenson and Guide Taps wore. speedily learned by these musical girls.

Dorothy Smith is Leader and Barbara Macxinnon Lieut. Patrol Leaders are, Irrna Holmes, Thelmo. Walsh. and Jean Parkman. The in- terest ahown by all the Leaders was wonderful. Court of Honour was to be organized. and there is no doubt that the lat East Royalty will go quickly ahead. Brownies have also been organized with Brown Owl. Irma Holmes. a visit will be arranged shortly. so more about them later. Mrs. R. E.
