-Saint Mary's Anglican Young Peoples Association met in the church hall on Monday evening for their regular weekly meeting. The president. Peggy Preston, be- gan the meeting with prayers and the members joined in singing a hymn.

The business meeting which fol- lowed the minutes of the last meeting and roll call, concerned planning for future meetings to be held' after Christmas. Also some, preparation was made for next week's meeting which will be devoted to ' repairing the church hymn books and to plans for dressing the church at Christ- mas tlme. The secretary, Batty Tredenick. gave her report on correspondence handled during the

past month.

The program for the e,vening was based on social and moral problems faced by youth and

more specifically on gambling. in- temperance and indecent publica- tions. In the interesting discus- sion that followed the, opinions of young people were heard on such current questions as the destruc- tion of comic books or their ab- solute removal from the news- stands: on prohibition and its ad- vantages and disadvantages; and on the easy forms of wager which can grow into consistent gamb- ling. .

Through literature obtained from the Council of Social Ser- vice the members were able. to reconcile the church's viewpoints on these subjects and to see ways by which young people, can assist others in iinrlersl.-mding the wise and proper handling of current social customs.

Following the discussion N- freshments were served by Bever- ley Birch and Tony Cotes. Bever- ley Birch also told humorous for- tunes from tea leaves and num- btxrs. The meeting closed with a .hvmn and p
