The new proposed United Church wedding' service was seen,as being definitely design- ed to point up the religious sig- nificance of the ceremony rath- er than just making a spectacle of it. Under what circumstances should an infant be baptized when the parents are not in fellowship with the church? This was a problem which fac- ing the payment of $500, Councillor George Rumball, who noted the budget for 1963 had not been passed, said the entire motion was out of order, but later asked that his re- marks be withrawn as council was merely "splitting hairs", In other business, council: Granted permission for a sign to be erected in front of the Wholesale Furniture and Appliance Store, requesting that the owner acquire a build- ing permit and assume all pub- lic liability. Councillor Don Sy- mons reported this was the pro- cedure that would be followed in all such requests in the future. • Gave permission to the Blue- water Shrine Club to stage their gigantic parade of Shrin- ers from the Mocha Temple Shrine through Clinton on Sat- ed the afternoon session. Am- ong the points brolight out in this discussion was the fact that a child should not be de- prived of the right to be bap- tized just,_ because the parents of the Child were not in fel- lowship with the church. It was further pointed out that such an occasion was an op- portunity for ministers to point out to parents the importance of joining the church. urday, June 22 at approximate- ly 1:00 p.m. Agreed to pay their $20 membership to the Huron County Municipal Officers As- sociation and learned that sev- eral members planned to at- tend the meeting to be staged in the Clinton Legion Hall on Wednesday, May 22, commenc- ing at 10,30 a.m. Goderich Township council will be hosts for the event this year. Approved the request of the Recreation Committee that William Batten be appointed to that group, turning down a suggestion by Reeve Morgan Agnew that a committee be set up to make a complete investi- gation into the appointee's character. Approved the 1963 budget as presented by the finance committee. Two Clinton taxi operators met with 'council Monday to request a by-law fixing rates, but the discussion that follow- ed indicated council did not know whether they had the right to set rates, However, they advised the two, Harvey Ashton and Geo- rge. McGee, that the proposi- tion would be studied by the by-law committee. The operators requested that a fee of 50 cents be set for calls in Clinton, with 10 cents for each additional stop and a rate of $3.00 per hour for wait- ing time. Fare suggested for trips to the RCAF Station were 75 cents 'for one to four passen- gers and 20 cents for each ad- ditional paSsenger and a rate of $1.00 for trips to Adastral Park. Out of town trips were re- quested as 25 cents per mile one way. Clerk John Livermore ques- tioned if council had any auth- ority to set rates that would be charged on out of town trips, noting the council could only govern matters within its boundaries. Councillor Allan Elliot ques- tioned the men as to whether they wanted the rates set as being 'the maximum or the minimum and learned that the suggestions were for minimum fees only. "Isn't this putting an end to free enterprise by setting rat- es?" he asked. Ashton replied that the taxi operators paid licences in the town and they wanted some form of protection, Elliott, noting that one oper- ator in Clinton has not signed the letter, asked if the two knew if he was in favour of the suggested rates. "Apparently not," replied Ashton. "I don't think we can set a rate for taxis," Elliot told the two men, but on the sugges- tion of Mayor Miller, promised to look into the matter to see what action his by-law com- mittee could take. Ashton produced a newspap- er clipping showing that Strat- ford city council had set up a similar by-law to regulate the fares in that community. Debate Grants The Clinton Recreation Com- mittee sent a letter to council requesting a complete advance payment of their $1,100 grant, pointing out the money was needed to conduct the summer prograin of the group, It was explained that grants from the fottr service clubs-and the provincial -grant'would be used to run the winter activi- ties. \ "Could they do with part until taxes start coming in?'` Mayor Miller questioned, net- ing the town would have to borrow money to pay the $1,100. Councillor George Wonch, member of the Recreation Com- mittee, replied that the group CoUld possibly do with POO if the remaining' amount was paid Within a short period. "We will be collecting taxes in three weeks," councillor Rumball reported. "We would- n't have to borrow money if they could do without it until then," Council then authorized the payment of $500 to the Rec- reation Committee. This was followed by a mo- tion authorizing the payment of $1,000 to the Clinton Lions, through the Recreation Com- mittee, for expenses at the arena this year. Councillor Elliott suggested that in view of the cut in the previous requeSt, the grant to the Lions should be cut to $250, but later changed this to $500, in his amendment to the original motion, After considerable bickering over proper procedure, the am- endment was passed, authoriz- ' About 20 ministers of the Huron Presbytery of the Unit- ed Church of Canada held both morning and afternoon sessions at North Street United Church last Wednesday. The morning session was de- voted to a discussion on the re- vision of the marriage cere- mony as used by the United Church of Canada. Chairman for this was Rev. W. J. ten Hoopen of Goderich. A discussion on the United Church General Council report on baptisin and church mem- bership took place at the after- noon session. Chairman for this was Rev, Arthur Higgin- bottom of Walton.. Should ministers marry those who have no interest in the re- ligious aspect of the marriage ceremony, which, in some cas- es even includes non-believers? This was a problem which con- fronted the morning session. It was felt that ministers had two alternatives depending on the particular sitatiOn which faced them. These were to eith- er: 1. Send the couple to a judge or magistrate for a pure- ly secular marriage or, 2. Strip the ceremony of its religious elements and perform a strict- ly secular ceremony as an authorized agent of the state. If . the latter were done, it would be completely inappro- priate fOr the ceremony to be performed in the church and Should be done either in the minister's study or at his home. It Was the general feeling Of the meeting that a religious Marriage service should be re- served for those who have re- ligious faith and desire the blessing of Gad on their mar- riage. The popular custom of hav- ing a wedding march played at the marriage ceremony carne under discussion. There was a strong preference shown among the ministers present that a good religious hymn should be played rather than playing 3y Mrs. It, F.
