A Paid Final Tribute Here é WESTMOUNT, FRIDAY, MAY 7 A.A.Groups Attend Event At Plattshurg \u2018Westmount groups were wéll represented in a party of 175 Montrealers that attended the third anniversary of the Platts- burgh, N.Y., group of Alcoholics Anonymous this past weekend.Some 300 people, from points such as Albany, Long Island, Ottawa, Three Rivers, and Drum- mondville attended a banquet in St.Peter's School Hall Saturday.\u2018The meet was open to both mem- | bers and friends.One of the four speakers was Father X, a Catholic Priest, an admitted alcoholic and a member for some time of Alcoholics Anonymous.He told of how, right from the beginning of A.A.some 18 years ago, the Catholic church had taken an interest in the fellowship of A.A, and of how one Priest along with other denominations in particular had approached his Chancellor to beg increased moral support for the movement.When the -Chancellor listed the many means by which the Church | was already helping the alcoholic, and\u201d asked the blunt question: \u201cWhat have they to offer, which we have not?\u201d the Father answered with the one word, \u201cResults.\u201d Another point brought out by Father X was the fact than as early as 1944 the American Medical Association officially recognized alcoholism as an incurable 1954 PAGE \u2018FIVE disease, best described as a-physi- cal compulsion, coupled with a mental obsession and definitely not a moral problem.Four years later The World Health Organization at Geneva officlally recognized aléooholism as a disease, To date, there is no known cure.The disease however, can be arrested, and A.A.is recognized as the most effective approach to this end.The Westmount Afternoon Group of Alcoholics Anonymous held their regular open meeting Sunday in Webster Hall at 4707 Western avenue.The speaker was a business man from Toronto.To the uninformed- the most amazing change which A.A.had brought about was the faot that he was now eastern manager of a large financial concern from which he had been fired from in disgrace only six years ago.His reinstatement with the company after joining A.A.and his subsequent promotion does in itself appear to many as a miracle.The peace of mind he has acquired through the practice of A.A, principles, he stated, was of far more value to himself and his family than any material gains.ALL ARRIVALS AT LA GUARDIA

Some, Great Happiness for Others \u2014 Remember Her! Sunday is Mother's Day, set aside to honour the one whose patience, self-sacri- fice, and affection have, more than any other influence, made our home our castle.No matter how humble, home means happiness where a good mother reigns.To those whose mothers have passed on, the day will be tinged with sadness.For Mrs.St.Laurent, First Lady of Canada, is to be honoured at a luncheon in Montreal, be strictly of fine woman\u201d.this month.The event will be a noteworthy one as it will be the first time that any such honour has ever been paid to a Canadian \u2018first lady\u2019.The luncheon is being sponsored by a group of Westmount women, and will, a non-political character.The object, in the words of one of the sponsors, is to \u201cpay a well-deserved tribute to a very We are sure the event will attract wide support, not only-in Westmount, but from all the Greater Montreal area.Spring and By Rev.Canon R.Kenneth Naylor {Rector of Trinity Memorial Church) Resurrection Spring is a wonderful period of the year.In fact, I think Spring is to he preferred to all other periods in these modern days.In © more primitive times Autumn was the desirable period because there was more to eat: but in these modern days when food is assured in any case, I am quite sure that I prefer Spring.It is the season of promise; we can look forward tq the fulnéss of the harvest and we take no account of possible failures.It is the season, not only of beauty but of the expectation of grenter beauty; while the sea- sonsAf Summer and Autumn present beauty but also the promise, or the threat of decay.Spring is the scason of lope as well as beauty.Spring is (he season of beauty; perhaps I should say, one of the seasons, for each one has its own peculiar beauty, even Winier.But Spring really is something to marvel at.Think of the maple woods! If you have the good fortune to see them and the eve to appreciate them, you will see the very same colours as in the Fall, but in pastel shades.The hard maples will be covered for a few days with gold, and the soft maples with red hloom; but the shades are muted.Every tree, or rather every species of tree, will offer its own shade of green; even the tamarack which has stood through the Winter with only a skeleton in light brown, now puts on its needles of the most delectable blue grey-green, in a marvel of lace work.Or look at the willow; I went up through the Snowdon district to Mount Royal Cemetery last week and found a willow pulting on its lace-work veil of pure gold.It was a marvellous sight.Presently, perhaps even when these words are read, the tiny leaves will have broken out of their sheaths \u2014 \u2018and the whole wood stands in a misL of green.\" Is it any wonder that St.Paul SYNOGOGUE CONGREGATION SHAAR HASHOMAYIM 450 Kensington Avenue, Westmount, Que.Rabbi Wilfred Shuchat Cantor Nathan Mendelson Rev.J.J.Fromm Public Worship .SABBATH EVE Friday, May [il 7:50 pom.Candle Lighting &:00 pom, Evening Service SABBAUT MORNING 9:60 am, Preliminary Services 10:60 am.Minor Congregation 20:00 aan.Scriptural Readings Leviticus, ch, 21, v.1 \u2014 ch.24, v.24, Ezekiel, eh.44, vs, 15-31, 2:60 pm.Evening Services Week-day Services £:30 a.m.Sunday Morning 8:05 pan.Sunday ig 7:30 nom.Weekday Mornfy#s © \u2026 - + 8:05 pom.Week pd mous used the miracle of Spring as an analogy of the miracle of the Resurrection?The trees that looked so dead three months ago have come to life.The Body of our Lord that lay in the grave over the Sabbath Day also came to life on the first day of the week in unutterable beauty and power.And our own dear ones who have departed in the faith and fear of God and have entered into the rest of Paradise, in God\u2019s good time will be restored in that same unutterable beauty into the life that is life indeed.* * ' Westmount Baptist * * Rev.Rubin Bonney, B.Eng., will preach his first sermon as an ordained minister, in Westmount Baptist Church Sunday.Mr.Bon- ney graduates in Divinity from McMaster this spring.Mrs.Bonney holds her B.Sc.\u2019in chemistry.Mr.and Mrs.Bonney hope to proceed to Bolivia as missionaries in the autumn.The evening service will be conducted by Dr.J.A.Johnston, assisted by a group of students from McMaster.Trinity C.W.Y.On Tuesday evening, at 8:15, Trinity Churchwomen's Year is presenting a film, \u201cMan With A Thousand Hands\u201d in the parish hall.This picture depicts the development of Kitimat, the gigantic project of the Aluminum Company\"of Canada in all the colour and magnitude of the far North.It should be very interesting to men and women alike, and all members of the parish and their friends are welcome.BAPTIST WESTMOUNT BAPTIST CHURCH Sherbrooke St.W.and Roslyn Ave.John Alexander Johnston, D.D., Minister Mr.Hibbert Troop, Organist and Choirmaster FRIDAY, MAY 7th : 7:45 p.ne PUBLIC ORDINATION SERVICE Mr RUBIN BONNEY, B.Eng.will be Ordained to tbe Christian Ministry - Speaker REV, DR.MH.S.HILLYER, Gen.Secy.Baptist Foreign Mission Board 1:15 pom.RECEPTION TOR REV, & MRS, RUBIN BONNEY MOTHER'S DAY 11:00 a.m, REV, RUBIN BONNEY, B.Eng.First Sermon as Ordained Minister Sunday School micets with Congregation FLORAL TRIBUTES TO MOTHERS 7:30 pam, REV, 1.A, JOHNSTON, D.D, Assisted hy Group of McMaster Sindents Service concludes with Circle of Friendship VISITORS CORDIALLY WELCOMED Westmount Choir Will Sing, Two Parish Sodalities {To Compete in Debate A team of four young women from Ascension Parish Sodality will compete against a team from Holy Family Parish in the finals of a debating contest Monday night at St.Ignatius Church Hall.The topic is \u2018Resolved: That Woman\u2019s entry into the business world was disastrous to society\u201d, and the Westmount girls participating are the Misses Ann Mulligan, Beverley Guilfoyle, Margaret Gallagher, and Carol Roberts.An annual event, the inter-parish contests are sponsored by the Montreal Union of Parish Soda- lities, which will hold its annual meeting prior to the debate, with Miss Shirley Gillies, Ascension Parish.in the chair.: CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, Westmount holding services temporarily in the Y.M.C.A.Building;
