VICAR'S LETTER My dear People, WORLD REFUGEE YEAR "Thank you so much for your generous gift and we do indeed appreciate the splendid achievement that you have now reached from three small parishes. I hope you willpgive our genuine appreciation to all those who achieved this target of £64o 9s. 0d". These words were addressed to you from the Adminr istrative Secretary, The British Council of Churches Inter—Church Aid and Refugee Service, in acknowledge~ ment of a further contribution of £7.15s. raised by Bekesbourne Choir, singing carols at Christmas. There are still a few months left of the Church's special year of effort to aid the refugees and I want you all to understand clearly what we are trying to do...so that you will give every possible help. At a recent meeting in Canterbury we were given a graphic account of the situation by films and special speakers, and the facts, briefly, are as follows:- Over 10 million Refugees have been re—settled in their own countries and 700,000 have been settled by emigration - But a hard core of 125,000 men, women and children remain to be cared for, and are all at present evicting under the most prinitive and frightful conditions of squalor, hunger, noise, misery and suspense. These are the vegy old, the g§_ oun , and the very sick, who cannot be employed or left to look after themselves. The cost of building and staffing the necessary hostels and hospitals will amount to £2 million and the Church is trying to raise half of this, THIS YEAR ending 51st May 1960. I believe we should try to raise pg; contribution from £64 to £1QQ_at least; by means of coffee parties, sales of work, donations etc. Let me have your ideas, offers of help and any money you may wish to give to this emergency work. Clothes are badly needed and may go direct to the W.V.S. Centre at 4, Castle Street. There is also an Adoption Scheme whereby you can be put in touch with a person or a family to whom you can write letters and send papers, books, or comfort parcels. Telling Statistics: £5 will feed ONE refugee for ONE YEAR at the present food allowance rate of 1/6d per week (FAR EAST) £25 will secure a University Course and a new start in life for a promising youngster. £1,000,000 is a LOT of money —_§§T in Britain alone in one year 10 million T.V.Licences were paid for at a cost of over £40,000,000£ CONFIRMATION — MAY 1960 If there are any ADULTS who would like to consider being confirmed, will they please speak to me as soon as possible, and I will make individual arrangements with each concerning the necessary preparation. PARISH OF PATRIXBOURNE WITH BRIDGE: It has now been established that Bridge has ggygr been a separate parish, but has always been part of the parish of Patrixbourne. As we can only have ONE Parish Church, it has been decided to make BRIDGE CHURCH the parish Church, but of course that need make no difference to our use of Patrixbourne Church, except that persons in Patrixbourne or Bridge may choose to be married in either Church in future. QEET 1960 To enable us to have a connected series of special addresses during Lent there will be Evensong at 6.50 p.m. at Bridge Church_§y§ry weeg as from_§§h March” We may very well decide to continue the weekly Evensong after Lent if that seems right. + * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *o* + * * * * * * * §_PIANO for Bridge Church has been :iven by Mrs. Rude and gratefully received. A most valuable aid to Choir Practices and Junior Church. §gSSOCKS: Mrs, Christopherscn of Sondes House, Patrixbourne is kindly raising a small fund to equip Patrixbourne Church with some new hassocks. $he will gladly receive any contributions. FEB“ 7th The Archbishop's Chaplain,.the Rev. Michael Adie, will preach at Evensong at 6o3O p,m. at BRIDGE. (There will be _1_1__o service at 3 pm. at Patrixbourne). §;g§: Please let me have names for remembrance in prayers and for SICK VISZTS. All good wishes, ROBERT PEENET. JUNIOR CHURCH NOTES: Membershigs Our annual stocktaking is completed and the members have "moved up" Where necessary. We hope to have a busy year; already we are preparing for the Diocesan Examination. We did not have one last year and our nembors are keen to go in for it again“ fignshine Guild: has had a very busy time owing to so much sickness in the village. I am glad to say that the membership has grown and only a very few of our members do not yet belong. . M J.D.S. Vicar: THE REV. ROBERT A. PENNEY, The Vicarage, Bridge. T el.: Bridge 250.

(Continued inside back cover) VIQAR’S LETTER l@'dear Iecplc, This is the first edition of our "Do it Yourself Magazine — a rush job, and not very good - but we hop to improve the quality as we become more expert. We pl in future to accept small advertisements from local trad Smen and that will still further reduce the cost of production'and give us a valuable shopping guide. ‘ ' A5 We had good church congregations at Easter (224 .ommuni; cants in all) and, what is equally encouraging, we hat giod _ “ ] attendance at both our Annual Church Meetings, especi_lly at » _ ‘ Bridge. I am sure that we have got very good office and ' ‘I T.C. Councillors for the coming year, who will worthi y-- :~ ' \ maintain the past high standard of service." I repeat:what'I‘; said at our meetings, that our most grateful thanks are due to all our officers, teachers and helpers. A special‘ A thank.you is due.to Lt.Col. J.L.Carr and Kr.7.J.Parke , retiring after many years of faithful service, and also to Mr.L.J.Williams, Who after being Secretary to the Ch -eh Council for 33 years is now going to devote his ener es to the difficult task of organising the scheme for improiing Bridge Churchyard. = *‘ The final arrangements for our Parish Confirmatipns,' on Sunday 22nd Hay, are as follows2— _ b 3 p-D- at Bekesbourneg 6.30 p.m. at Bridge. A Details of arrangements for the candidates and“of’social _ *’ gatherings after the Confirmation will be publishéd‘hater.~ ‘—~ It is clear from our accounts that We urgently—feed to__ raise the standard of our giving of money for the we ’"and. expenses of the church. Most regular churchgcers are" Ving - ’generously, but we need more help from parish families who receive the magazine and take a friendly interest in phurph' affairs, but who only come to church occasionally. Next monthg I will suggest how you can all help through our F.¥.’ Scheme. Thank you very much for your generous Easter Of erings, which came to £50 altogether — a most welcome contribution to the cost of running my car and large family.

Te hear from Bishop Savage thdt the Rev.lnthony Salmon, the young curate fr-n South Narwood, whose stipend We are helping to provide, is now well cstablished in his work in Zululand. He is living at o Iission Station receiving specialised training and learning the languages. Bishop Savage goes on to say "when I arrived at the mission house I found him Salmon) doing first aid on one or two Swazi children who needed attention. As W511 as Canon Arden, his Director, Salmon has as colleagues a young Swazi priest named Philemon Dlanini, a layman from Horthunbcr— land." called Jack Dobson who has done 9.11 the building; (of the new school) most magnificently, and the new headmaster, Peter Coxon.
