Forest Fires
Each summer, forest fires caused
by—neglected campfires, carelessly
discarded cigaret butts or rubbish
fires left unattended have marred
many enjoyable vacations. This fire
season, an above normal fire hazard
condition is predicted.
All persons using forest areas
should take extra care with the use
of fire this summer and remember
the following precautions:
Forest Fire Consciousness—only
constant awareness of the threat of
fire can keep an individual from
causing one.
Campfires—never start one
unless it is needed. Never light one
during a high wind. Choose a spot
near water on flat rock or gravel.
Never leave the fire unattended. To
put the fire out, drench with water,
stir with a stick, drench again with
water, then check for any live coals
with your fingers.
Smoking Materials- while
travelling in an automobile use the
ash tray. While walking in the forest
always stop to smoke. Use a lighter
instead of matches. Use
roll -your -own cigarettes. To
extinguish, crush on a rock or in
mineral soil.
Rubbish Fires-- in the fire
district obtain a fire permit from a
fire warden or department of lands
and forests office. Read and obey
all instructions on the permit. Burn
during the evening when the
humidity is high. Do not leave the
fire unattended until it is
thoroughly out.
Forest Fires- -report forest fires
immediately to the nearest fire
warden or department of lands and
forests office.
Snails
Every year at this time the long
hot trek begins.
The snails come out from under
the leaves and begin their yearly
migration to the water.
It's a long arduous journey and
only the hardiest and fastest of the
little animals make the month long
trip through the hundred yards of
sand to the beF ch.
All over the beach, if you lie
close to the sand and listen
carefully you can hear the
.whimpering of tiny snails as they
plod along through the, drifts of
sand, which burn their tiny feet.
They are whimpering to you
asking each one of you to help
them in their plight.
Do a good deed this week.
Put a tiny snail in the pocket of
your bathing suit when you go for a
swim. Take it to its destination.

Well, we could always try the Arctic Circle
The White
Collar Worker
By PATRICK DONOHUE
of St. Peter's Seminary
Some people think I have bungled my
Mission to the Heathen.
It happened on a Friday afternoon
when I decided to drop around to The
Times office.
The staff was just leaving when I
arrived. They asked me if I wanted to join
them for a beer.
I said that I did and turned down the
invitation.
I told thein that it was a case of rules.
They told me that the Times doesn't have
any rules against beer.
The seminary has. We have to take on
enough beer during the summer to
preserve us through the hibernation.
According to the fellow seminarians, I
should have waived the rules and gone for
a beer for the sake of religion.

I couldn't see myself holding a revival
meeting when the booze began to flow.
My psalm singing is lousy when I've been
drinking.
They thought it would have been a
good way to show that we can have fun.
Better send someone who can really
hold his beer. The seminary drinking
team would go down to sad defeat if I
were the only member.
They thought it would have been a
good way to show that we are human.
They thought it would have been a
good way to explain about priests who
leave the Church and get married.
It is obvious that I boobed.
But I didn't think of these enormous
consequences at the time.
So I didn't go to the beer party.
So The Times staff goes to hell.
Guest column of the week
Mother or Bride ?
by Dr. Judith Brigham
The ecumenical Thanksgiving Day
service at the Mary Ellen Chapel,
Eisenbach Museum has been an occasion
of special significance for a growing
number of summer and winter residents.
This is my reason for giving the time,
effort and money it has taken to
participate when there are so many
Thanksgiving Day services between
Louisville, Kentucky and Grand Bend,
Ontario which one could attend.
When anyone uses the word
"ecumenical" at least four different
meanings may be implied. First of all
there is the meaning identified with
Christian unity or ecumenical goals
centered in brotherly love which was
predominant in the early decades of the
twentieth century. "
The next development was a
movement toward a unified
administration. Interdenominational or
ecumenical co-operation was viewed as
necessitating amalgamation of local
churches for the sake of cutting the
expense of duplicate buildings and
budgets. As in any big business enterprise
the aim was efficiency and lowest
possible costs.
The third development came with the
Second Vatican Council and the granting
of permission for inter -communication
between Roman Catholics and
Protestants in matters not involving the
heart of the liturgy, the ultimate aim
being one Church in which all churches
would recognize the primacy of the Pope
as one bishop among equals.
The fourth view, which is still
submerged, should receive increasing
attention in the years ahead. It is the view
which does not regard the Church as the
province of male perogative but rather as
the Bride and Body of Christ in the
world. It implies a foundation of
conscious respect for all that is meant by
each Jewish woman being a physical
descendant and each Christian woman
being a spiritual descendant of the
freewoman Sarah. It implies a clear
recognition of the difference between the
freewoman Sarah and the bondwoman
Hagar, the difference between a woman
who has the right of responsible consent
before God and the woman who must do
as another person commands or forces. It
implies that the remaining vestiges of
chattel property, the view that a woman's
body and mind is the possession of
another person or family will vanish. It
implies the right of the freewoman in
every generation to claim her heritage. It
means in brief that the era ahead will be
the Era of Mary Magdalen or the Era of
the Bride of Christ, that two-party
order -freedom thinking and structure in
which the married woman participates
will be assumed, and that a monolithic
one-party Church will be as outmoded as
any other tyrannical dictatorship.
To an unusual degree this has already
happened at the Mary Ellen Chapel, and
it points the way to a new Christian era
which will be, not mother -centered, but
bride -centered, as God intended in the
creation.
