1 "Young fellows today don't
now anything about work, sit-
ingi up there with the radio
oing, touching a button or
ing a switch in my day those
hings all had to be clone by
vain force and awkwardness,"
This is one of the obser-
altions of Richard Robinson,
14, who has been a Huron
"ounty farmer for many years.
Mr. Robinson, R,R. 1 Zurich,
s one of a number of Huron
county residents who are being
nterviewed by the six stodents
working on the Historical File
'or the County. The interviews
ire to help students to under-
'tend what life was like in the
early 1900's,
Besides interviews, the team
Members are busy taking' lides
or sequences also to be
available to atudents
throughput the County. Houses
from pioneer days to the
present, fire-fighting equipment
old and new, and the develop-
meet of schools throughout the
years are just three of the
topics covered by slides along
with voiced-over narration also
prepared by the students.
A walking tour of Goderich
to be available in booklet form
is also underway.
The main work is the
Historical File located in the
county offices, Goderich.
Progress is rapidly being made
on its contents. Working in
three teams of two members
each, the students have collec-
ted a wealth of information on
Huron County from 1900 to
1,914. They are now working on
the years 1915 to 1929.
Sources for the information
going into the file include
newspapers, Tweedsmuir
histories, • P,U,C. records,
municipal records, telephone
system records, district in-
surance company offices, local
histories, and especially people.
The project is sponsored by
the Experience
P.E.O,P,L,E. program of the
Provincial Ministry of
Education. The Huron County
Council is meeting additional
expenses.
The students, all residents of
Huron, are learning a great
deal about their County
through all phases of their
work, but particularly through
the interviews. Being a student
now sounds a lot easier than
being one in 1905.
As Mr. Robinson put it,
"That was when we really went
to school and the teacher had a
big stick or something it was
'come or fetch you.'
Many years ago an ec-
clesiastical supervisor said to
me, "Your trouble is that you
miss too many preachers'
meetings,"
I replied, "I have never
missed a preachers' meeting in
my life. I have stayed away
from lots of them, but I didn't
miss them one bit!" And a lot
of laymen could say the same
thing about some of the
meetings which I have conduc-
ted.
The emphasis of the church
upon "personal salvation" has
probably been most perverted
at this point. It has been so
busy calling men to decide to
commit themselves, it allowed
the Church to be an ideal in-
stead of a body.
In spite of Paul's repeated
warnings such as the eye can-
not say it does not need the
foot, etc., members of the chur-
ches were able to think they
could be churchmen without
being Church. They were
allowed to go to meetings to
GET: to get enthusiasm, to get
programs, to get new ideas, to
get love, to get a look at the
new preacher, to get their own
way.
Today, even the highest
pressure of publicity, the most
popular speakers, and the best
entertainment will not get half
the members of any
congregation to its meetings.
This is not the members'
fault. They have gone to
meetings time after time and
brought home no more than
they could have gotten on a
post card. Nor is this the
Church's fault. It has tried
time and again to get people to
contribute ideas, compassion,
challenge and relevance. It is
no one's fault. But, it is time to
change.
The laity have a right to
demand that the institution
never make easy the hard road
of the Cross, and the Church
has a right to demand that
those in it be too serious to
resent difficult assignments.
The Game-Plan of Salvation
may be free, but the Game is
deadly!
Nothing confuses a man more
than to drive behind a woman
who does everything right,
quotes the Ontario Safety
League.
