It is the morally sound thing to do. Werden Leavens, The Bolton Enterprise, Bolton, Ont. * * * "I am a Noradist", said one officer during a briefing on the tour of NORAD. This was typ- ical of the Canadians and Americans working together in a common purpose—the defense of the North American Contin- ent, Nationalities were submerged. Canadians felt rather ashamed at the hesitant' role taken by the northern partner of NORAD. It was "crystal clear", that Canada must play her full part in this deterrent organiza- tion if the whole NORAD set up is not to be weakened. Canadian NORAD weapons system must be equipped with nuclear warheads since the threat of nuclear bombing from manned enemy aircraft remains and will remain for some time to come, the major threat. J. R, McLachlan, Virden Empire-Advance, Virden, Man. • * * What amazed me most was the revelation that the Cana- dian Government has shown so little interest in this vital opera- tion; that less than half a dozen Cabinet Ministers have visited NORAD in five years; and proportionately fewer mem- bers of parliament. I was impressed by the efficiency of the organization, the dedicated spirit of its per- sonnel and the evidence that nothing is being left undone to maintain and improve its effec- tiveness. Arvid Lundell, Revelstoke Review, Revelstoke, B.O. * * The most significant thing about the NORAD trip was the fact that, if our forces were given nuclear arms, this would allow them to destroy potential enemy nuclear bombs, by neut- ralizing them, and they would explode without damage, pos- sibly over our own country, Art Stanley, Arrow Lake News, Nakusp, B.C. * The most surprising revela- tion in my trip to NORM) was to learn that only five Canadian Cabinet Ministers have ever visited the installation, without the Prime Minister or the Min- ister of External Affairs, being among them. When you consider only 178 Canadians have been to NORAD, before 30 of us Cana- dian Weekly Newspapermen Made the trip, it shows a. lack of interest among government officials, news media people and others in getting first hand in formation concerning our role in the defense of the North American Continent, This being the Case, is there any wonder there IS Suet% gross misunderstanding in govern- ment circles and laymen con- cerning Our immediate accept- ance of nuclear Warheads for our Boinarc ground-to-air Mis- siles and our VOOdoo intercep- tors' Lasithrook, Merettry Suit • Pubilcations Ltd., Rodney, oat, If Canadit, as to accept her responsibility as a full partner in the effeetive defense of North Atterica, then she trust accept nuclear warheads as art esteri, tial part, Of the overall defense rOgratt.

The Church faces a bigger challenge today than ever • be- for, she said, and if we haven't caught the vision of a larger Christianity, then we have fail- ed in some way. Does this not challenge us to have a greater interest in and for the work of spreading the Good News of God's love to others? She questioned if wo- men would all become mission- ary minded, more could be ac- complished, she concluded. At 4,30 p.m. a girl's service was held in the church when 65 girls attended as representa- tives from the Guides, Brown- ies, CGIT, Explorers and other were present. Mrs. Carmen McPherson pre- sided and welcomed the girls groups meeting together for prayer and worship. Those taking part in service were: Marie Cox, Dianne Belle- fleur, Pat Fletcher, Cheryl Steepe, Eileen Garrett, Nancy Olde, Candy Burnside, Linda Nicholson, Judy Carter, Doris Johnston and Barbara Thomson. Mr. C. Merrill was pianist for the Lervice, and Nancy Olde gave a talk on "Prayer" and Dianne Bellefleur told an inter- esting story on "The Long Rope", e. story of a boy whose interest in securing a Bible, led him to make a long piece of rope, so as to earn money to buy a Bible. The Inter-Church committee desires to thank all those who planned, took part in, and at- tended both services, It's grat- ifying to see the adults and girls meet together for Christ- ian Fellowship in their respec- tive services.
