The trouble with the field goal, though; es- pecially in U.S. football, is that most of the time it's boring and it reflects the inability of teams to score otherwise. It's also a black mark against a team's de- fence, which, in many cases has played its heart out by sacking opposing offenders, only to be beaten by a manoeuvre that it can't do much about, except maybe block. And then a- gain, once a team's field goal kicking team comes on the field, that steady defence is usually replaced by the 'block that field goal squad. Yes, the field goal has taken a lot of ex- citement out of football.

Lund- berg presiding. Mrs. Elaine Mannisto read the minutes and correspondence. This included a letter from the Board of Stewards thanking the auxiliary for a recent donation of $200.00, and a letter from the Auxiliary to the McCaus- land Hospital, requesting permission to have a table at the Christmas Bazaar. It was de- cided that due to limited space the Auxiliary to the hospital would only be allowed to sell cook books at the bazaar. Mrs. Ena Buckley gave the treasurer's re- port. It was moved that ladies would bring a 50 cent gift to the December meeting for a gift exchange, and that the present executive would bring the lunch. The Afternoon group will be invited to participate in the Christmas party. Mrs. McKague took the Worship service, with her theme, Forgive us our Debts. Mrs. Lundberg introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Frank Anderson, who gave an informative talk on the aims and objectives of the Board of Governors of the McCausland Hospital. Mr. Anderson asked the ladies to present their i- deas as to what they would like to see added to the present facilities offered at the hos- pital, or in the case of a new hospital being built. Some excellent suggestions were put forth such as a solarium, where mobile patients might watch T.V. or visit, a better Emergency room, facilities for a dentist and optometrist. Mr. Anderson agreed that all suggestions would be taken under advisement. Mrs. Lundberg thanked Mr. Anderson for taking time to talk to. the ladies. Lunch was served by Mrs. Barnett and Mrs. Gander.
