   MRS. A. YOUNG FAREWELLED
   FINE TRIBUTE BY LARGE GATHERING.
   The Pinnaroo Methodist Church was filled on Sunday, following evening service, when Mrs. Young and daughter, Janet, were farewelled prior to their departure from the district. Over a long period of years Methodism in particular, and the district generally, have, benefitted by the activities of the Young Family. Led by the esteemed late Mr. Andrew Young, the family has been among the outstanding families in this district. With the departure of Mrs. Young and daughters the district will suffer a distinct loss, but in the words of the Rev. Des. Christesen the link will never be broken”. The work of the Young family will remain a memorial which will survive the passage of time. Residents join wholeheartedly in wishing, Mrs. Young and family a very happy future.
   
   In opening his remarks Rev. Des. Christesen' (chairman) asked speakers to observe a note of happiness in paying tribute to the guests, and said they had assembled to wish them well and thank them for their outstanding co-operation at all times.

   Mr. S. Angel (senior circuit steward), speaking on behalf of officers and members of the Methodist Church, said he felt that on an occasion such as this no speech was necessary. All knew of the outstanding qualities of the guests. However, they could not let the opportunity pass of saying how much they appreciated their interest and support. Methodism has benefited, not only in Pinnaroo, but overseas where members of the Young family were carrying on Mission work. Much of the credit was due to Mrs. Young’s guiding influence. Each member of the family had been a stalwart of the Church, and Mrs. Young had been a very active member, serving as Communion Steward for a number of years. Janet had also performed good work for the Church and both deserved special thanks for their keen interest and support. They would leave behind many good friends, who join in wishing them God’s richest blessing.

Mrs. Young came to Parilla Well 34 years ago. After moving into Pinnaroo she (the speaker) found them to be splendid neighbors. In times of sickness Mrs. Young was wonderful and would do anything in her power to help. The family were noted for their kindness. Mrs. Johnston presented to Mrs. Young an illuminated address suitably framed and signed, and a shoulder spray.
   
   The WAOM was represented by Mrs. F. Docking who said Mrs. Young often came forward with suggestions to help the Overseas Missions. They appreciated very much her years of service to the Auxiliary and the Church.
   
   Mr. N. Badman referred to Janet Young’s work in the Sunday School and choir. Janet had grown up in the Sunday School and proved herself a worthy person to hold office. She had proved a very loyal and sincere member of the school and the choir. The hospitality of the Young family was widely known and appreciated. The speaker also expressed thanks on behalf of the Show Society, claiming that outstanding support had been received from the Young family as exhibitors.
   
   The Vice-Director of the Girls’ Comradeship, Mrs. G. Johnson, wished Janet many years of hap piness in the Comrades in her new district, and added that Mrs. Young had also helped the Comrades, mainly in providing suppers. The Young family had been the prime movers in anything to help the Church and they would be sorely missed. A spray was handed to Janet by the speaker.
   
   Mr. R. Correll, speaking on behalf of the Area School, said the amount of work put into the school by the late Mr. Young and his family would always remain a memorial to them. He thanked them for many personal favours, and wished Janet a happy future on behalf of the Pinnaroo Tennis Club.
   
   Mrs. C. Fischer made special mention of the splendid flowers provided for the Church by the Young family and said they will miss them very much.
   
   Mrs. H. Bone farewelled Mrs. Young on behalf of CWA mem bers. Mrs. Young had been a foundation member and for years had given the branch excellent service. They wished her joy in her new home.
   
   Mr. J. Symonds said the fine gathering was attribute to the guests. He did not think there was a more esteemed family in this district and they had been an inspiration to himself and others.
   
   Miss E. Colwill paid tribute to Mrs. Young for her work as a member of the Ladies’ Hospital Auxiliary and said she frequently took charge of hospital sewing, They appreciated her help very much.
   
   Mr. Christesen handed Mrs. Young and Janet a cheque as a small token of appreciation and good wishes from those present and the district. He said, "the link of the chain which binds you to us and us to you will never be broken.”
