Godfrey Gower, retired Anglican archbishop for British Columbia, was guest speaker at the annual "oldtimers" service Thursday at St. Thomas Anglican Church. Some 115 people ranging in age from 93 down attended the traditional service, which featured, as well as the archbishop, an inter-church choir.

They recongregated afterward in the church's parish hall for a cup of tea. During his sermon, Archbishop Gower commended the elderly people of Fraser Valley for the contribution they had made to community life and suggested they should not allow young people to push them aside. He suggested that youth is getting too much publicity, and that it is not good for them, noting that only a small minority contribute to the poor reputation. Commenting on his visit to Chilliwack he said that as he drove from his residence in White Rock, he saw the snow on the hills and thought "what a wonderful place to live." Spokesman for the service's organizing committee described the sermon and service as a "real boost, an uplift" for the elderly people attending. Refreshments for the afternoon get together were provided by the Anglican Church Women for the Fraser-Cheam area parish.

Anyone wishing to see progress in the field of education must show a great deal of dedication, he said. He urged members to be alert to propose and support dedicated people for local boards.
