Anniversary
as scheduled
The congregation of Crediton
United Church will be
celebrating the 100th
anniversary of the church
founding as scheduled on May
25 despite losing their church
building by fire two weeks ago.
At a special meeting
Wednesday, offiCials of the
church decided to go ahead with
plans and will be holding
anniversary services at Zion
church in Crediton.
At the same time, it was
decided to join immediately
with Zion, Crediton in all facets
of church and Sunday school
work.
The two congregations had
decided only a few weeks ago to
amalgamate on July 1 with Rev.
Douglas Warren as the minister.
Beginning this Sunday, both
congregations will begin
integration as far as Sunday
school and choir activities are
concerned.
The anniversary services will
also be held at Zion church,
Crediton with former ministers
of the Crediton and Shipka
United Church charges as guest
speakers.
Rev. Alex Rapson' of Sault
Ste. Marie will preach at the 11
a.m. service and Rev. Robert
Hiltz of Sturgeon Falls will be in
charge of the evening service.
Work approvals
slow in arriving
Only a small portion of
proposed street, sewer and water
programs for Exeter have as yet
received government approval.
The Hon. C,S. MacNaughton
announced this week that
approval had been received for
the waterworks construction
north of the bridge to the
northern limits.
This work will be undertaken
at a cost of $2,880.00 and will
precede the reconstruction of
Highway 4 in this section.
Cost of the work will be
shared by the Provincial
government with subsidies
covering 90 percent of half the
cost.
Works Superintendent Jim
Paisley reported this week that
approval has still not been
received for the work planned
on Huron and Albert Streets this
year.
The town is also awaiting
approval for the annual prime
dust layer program and Paisley
said this week the work would
commence as soon as the
approval has been received.
The contract has already been
let, subject to these approvals.
hungry to find positive, tangible
and peaceful solutions to the
problems of our time."
NO ANSWERS
Giving her opinions on why
youth aren't in church today,
Judy Burke said the main reason
is the failure of the church to
answer questions the kids are
asking.
"In the last 10 years there
have been more and more
questions asked and fewer
substantial answers," she said.
She explained that youth in a
small town are not exposed to
such things as drugs and
premarital sex as their city
contemporaries are, and added
that many teenagers in this
community go to church
"mostly because it is the thing
to do or because their parents
make them."
Pointing to the recent closing
of one local church and the talk
of financial difficulties in others,
she questioned if the running of
a church should merely be a
matter of dollars and cents.
"When people really care
about something they can
always find the money for it,"
she went on, and then
questioned if the church had
failed, or whether it was even
necessary in our modern age.
"The way the churches are
run today seems poor and
useless to the adolescent," she
stated, adding that kids today no
longer believe in discipline for
the sake of discipline. They want
answers to their questions and
no longer will a "because I said
so" suffice.
"People are so worried what
others will think," she said. "I
think this is the major difference
between our generation and our
parents' generation."
She said this led to a situation
where people are afraid to
express a lot of their true
feelings and this is where the
disunity of the church begins.
"Before you get the kids on
your side of the church you
must have a very powerful
organization to show you are
working for the benefit of all
people and succeeding," she
said, suggesting further that the
church should be one large,
substantial organization working
for the benefit of all.
Cited as the reason for
disunity was the fact many
church people are biased and
fight about small, insignificant
beliefs that completely divide
various religious groups.
"World problems will never
be solved if we can't get the
people in our own little town
working together instead of
against each other," Judy added.
She questioned the necessity
of recent church construction in
Exeter when the churches are
half empty saying that the
money would have been better
spent on helping the
underprivileged.
Another opinion expressed
by the teenager was the fact that
talk sessions at coffee houses
serve the needs of youth more
than the church. In such places
adolescents are given a chance to
Grand Bend council meeting
in special session Monday night
approved the revised list of
water rates for commercial
properties as suggested by a
representative of the Ontario
Water Resources Commission.
Several weeks ago council had
tentatively accepted the rates
prepared by E.A. Ladbrooke of
OWRC setting a commercial
minimum rate of $21 per
month.
Under the new rates,
commercial owners will pay a
minimum monthly rate of $10
per month for the first 10,000
gallons of water used,
The second 10,000 gallons in
each month will cost an
additional $8 with a further
charge of 70 cents per thousand
gallons thereafter.
come and express their ideas
with other kids without being
shunned by adults.
Noting the recent decree
from the Pope regarding the
status of some former saints,
Miss Burke said his statements
would raise more doubt and
questions in the minds of church
people.
"If the validity of these saints
must be questioned, why not
question the existence of a
personal God," she commented.
She concluded by saying that
it was difficult to have faith
when over one-third of the
world's population is starving,
when families are left homeless
and when thousands die each
day of cancer.
"We ask questions, not
irreverently . . we ask them
sincerely, honestly. We do not
often find the answers in the
behaviourof our adult peers. Yet
we must look to you for some
answers. Are you ready and
available to sit down and discuss
these things with us?"
COMMUNICATION
The final speaker was Philip
Moore, who spoke on
communication.
Listing some of the general
descriptions for teenagers, he
said that if adults communicated
a little more, they might find
out that teenagers aren't all bad
and they may even find youths
have some good ideas.
He gave the following quote
from George MacLeod: "I
simply argue that the cross be
raised again at the centre of the
marketplace as well as on the
steeples of the church. I am
recovering the claim that Jesus
was not crucified in a cathedral
between two candles, hut on a
cross between two thieves; on
the town garbage heap; at a
crossroad so cosmopolitan that
they had to write his title in
Hebrew, Latin and Greek . . . at
the kind of place where cynics
talk smut; thieves curse and

purchase water at current rates
for residents in the north-west
portion of the township.
In a special meeting,
Thursday, council dealt with
eight municipal drain reports.
The Campbell and Cooper
reports were referred to the
engineer for further study and
the Neil and Swartz drains have
been returned for assessment
revisions.
In drain tender awards, K.L.
Acton of Watford was awarded
the work on the Hodgins-Ryan
drain for $2,389 and the same
man will do the Weber drain
construction for $2,631.14. The
Watford firm was the lowest of
numerous bids on each
contract.
Essery and Roestel of
Centralia submitted the lowest
of six tenders for the Kaak Drain
and will do the job for $1,567.
Lowest of four bids on the
Martin Drain at $6,180.20 was
Hodgins and Hayter of Parkhill,
Council instructed Clerk
Murray A. Des Jardins to
purchase 14 meters from
Neptune of Toronto to service
commercial establishments,
Business properties not using
water for trade will pay an
annual water rate of $50.
There will be no change from
the original rate set for domestic
users. Year-round Grand Bend
residents will pay $36 per year
and summer residents will be
charged $26 per annum.
Owners of summer cottages
and cabins will pay on the same
rate of $26 per summer for each
cabin and cottage in use whether
for themselves or for rental,
Clerk Des Jardins was also
given permission to proceed with
arrangements to set-up office
procedure for billing and
soldiers gamble. Because that is
where He died. And that is what
he died about. And that is where
churchmen ought to be, and
what churchmen should be
about."
Moore said that in his lifetime
he has seen more churchmen in a
cathedral with candles than in
garbage heaps and places where
cynics talk smut and thieves
curse and soldiers gamble.
"How many people stop to
think that these people may not
be incorrigible, but perhaps the
hypocrites in their beautiful
cathedrals just couldn't bother
to practise what they preach?"
He lauded those who went to
youth and communicated with
them in their language.
"Today we have tried to
communicate with you and tell
you some of our thoughts and
ideals. I urge you to be more
open minded to the youth of
today and their ideals. Who
knows, you might agree with us
if you — communicate," he
concluded.
Special music at the service
included a solo by Dan Laing,
duets by Judy Burke and Cathy
Simmons and Joanne Whilsmith
and Cathy Cook. The junior
choir sang one number with Mrs.
Murray Keys at the piano.

Hear speech
about Malaya
On Thursday, May 1, teachers
and students from South Huron
District High School heard Mr.
Richard Harland, a former area
teacher describe life and
education in Malaysia. Mr.
Harland spent 18 months in
Malaysia as an educational
consultant to the Malaysian
government. He was Technical
Director at Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton and
in 1966 he was selected by
Canada's External Affairs
department to go to Malaysia to
advise the Malaysian government
on matters pertaining to
technical education.
Mr. Harland illustrated his
talk with colored slides which he
took while he was in Malaysia.
Chasing away evil spirits by
various means still occupies part
of the lives of the interior
people. The witch doctor still
commands a lot of influence
over the people, by conjuring
good spirits and warding off evil
spirits out of the bodies of sick
people, by casting mysterious
spells to keep the rains away,
and by foretelling the details of
important births in the
community.
"Agricultural methods and
implements used to grow food
have not changed in the past
thousand years. Malaysia as a
whole is just beginning to
emerge into the 20th century"
said Mr. Harland.
"Education in Malaysia is not
compulsory — it is a privilege —
a sobering thought to have when
we feel irked by an extended
school year in Ontario."
Malaysia is a melting pot of
many oriental races with many
contrasting differences in
religion, social customs and
traditions.
This racial situation makes
the new country very prone to
racial, religious and social
conflicts. The government of
Malaysia is trying very hard to
make education available to all,
realizing that it is through the
education of the masses that
tolerance and understanding
among its own people will put
the country on the road to social
and economic progress.
It is in this regard that
Canada together with other
Commonwealth countries such
as Australia, New Zealand and
Great Britain, has donated
school buildings, teaching
equipment and consultants such
as Mr. Harland, to help Malaysia
get started in educating its
masses.
Mr. Harland discussed various
ways in which Canadian teachers
may be involved in helping the
underdeveloped nations to help
themselves educationally. He
stated that $300.00 would
enable six Malaysian students to
attend school for one year and
the students would consider this
a great privilege.
They would be glad to walk a
hundred miles on jungle trails to
get to the school. "Teachers
everywhere have the potential
possibility of making the armies,
navies and air forces of the
world superfluous," , said Mr.
Harland, "by igniting in their
students the spark of
understanding and concern,
which in turn will motivate the
extension of more helping hands
to those who are less fortunate
than we are. An old Malaysian
proverb states: "Give a man a
fish and he will eat for a day,
teach a man how to fish and he
will eat for a lifetime."
This was the last professional
development meeting for this
school year. Following Mr.
Harland's illustrated talk, the
teachers and Grade 13 students
enjoyed a Malaysian style dinner
prepared and served by the girls
of the Home Economics class,
under the supervision of Mrs.
Bruinsma and Mrs. Connolly,
Home Economics teachers.
