Maurice Francis, Thamesview, will head Huron-Perth Presbytery of the United Church of Canada at the rise of Conference in May. He succeeds Harold Knisley, Goderich, the first lay chairman since Huron and Perth Presbyteries amalgamated 11 years ago. After being introduced to the court. Rev.

Head speaks The president of London Conference, Rev. Anne Egilsson in a brief address to the court stressed three points; We must have vi­ sion, we must have an op­ portunity to look at our pur­ pose and we must cooperate within and among the con­ gregations, presbytery and conference. Mrs. Eglisson also pointed out that the person in the pew must do a great deal of thinking about the ministry of women, referring to the larger number of women now in theological schools. Sixty-five percent of Lon­ don Conference churches have declining memberships stated Rev. Morley Clarke, a conference staff officer. The problem was the basis of a study during a three- month sabbatical. He told of visiting four churches which are reversing that trend. The court was advised that Rev. Stanley McDonald will be inducted into Hensail United Church on May 16 and that effective July 1, Rev. Robert Scott of Elgin will minister at Londesboro,; Rev. Ernest Fellows, Newfoundland, at Gorrie-Wroxeter; Rev. Bruce Guy, Dashwood- Zurich at Merlin-Fletcher; Rev. Wilena Brown, Bluevale, at Varna-Goshen; Rev. John Anderson, Regina, at Trinity, Listowel; Rev. Brian Elder, Newfoundland at Crediton and Richard Hawley, stu­ dent supply, at Auburn. Rev. Percy Brown; retired, Kirkton, has transferred to Toronto Presbytery, Making people aware of their feelings as group decisions are made was il­ lustrated by the role-playing method staged by the Divi­ sion of Communications, un­ der Rev. Wilena Brown, Bluevale. The first presentation in­ dicated the result of an autocratic decision, the se­ cond the passive attitude of the chairman and the third a thorough discussion in which the membership’s views are drawn out and a democratic decision reached. Mrs. Doris Zurbrigg, Listowel reported that 350 women attended the UCW annual at Lambeth, 33 of them from Huron-Perth. Special events were planned for Alma College, West­ minster College and Mennesetung camp. Claire Boyd announced the Ontario Roundup at Geneva Park, and conferences at Delawana Inn and Universi­ ty of Toronto for men of the church. It was indicated that Conference was to be asked to urge congregations to study the theme Land Use­ ownership a privilege not a right, Huron-Perth com­ mittees have made a signifi­ cant contribution in this area. Rev. Bruce Eaton in his Outreach report encouraged the exchange of pulpits in May 1980 to promote his committee’s objectives. He told the court of several traumatic experiences in Zaire. Rev. Bert, Daynard, Staffa reported that as of July 1 Dashwood and Zurich will unite as one congrega­ tion. The court was told that Rev. Daynard was com­ mended by Conference for his contribution to the church. r Dance to JOE OVERHOLT & THE STANDBYS Fri., May 11 LUCAN ARENA Dancing 9-1 $8.00 per couple Lunch Provided f ■"I Proceeds to operation of Lucan & District Nursery School.

Serving South Huron, North Middlesex & North Lambton Since 1873 imes Advocate La Leche League meets in Goderich By B. KERR La Leche League in Huron County met in April at the home of Mrs. D. Rutter, Goderich, The topic of discussion was “Baby Arrives: the Family and the Breastfeeding Baby”, which is the third of a series of four topics designed to help the nursing mother. This topic deals with the relationships of father and mother in caring for the newborn and his siblings. Mrs. Janis Bisback, the leader of this series ex­ plained that the role of each person in the family changes with the arrival of a new baby, and it is important to become aware of each person’s needs in order to find ways to maintain a close-knit family. Some guidance can be taken from the “Art of Breastfeeding’’ which offers a confident attitude. The role of women who had been working before the baby was born was discussed. It was agreed that a woman who enjoys her pregnancy and has a positive attitude towards labour, can more easily develop a successful nursing relationship with her baby. Since newborns need at­ tentive care for such a short time, many mothers felt that the needs of a newborn should be met. It was felt that a small investment in loving the newborn resulted in a large reward of love from the child later. One study discovered that material-infant bonding, that is, mother and father having close contact with the newborn 15-60 minutes after its birth, encouraged the family to be more tactile and the child to be more verbal at two years of age. Many changes occur as the woman becomes a mother. She must learn to deal with the new baby, her husband, and other siblings when she becomes a homemaker. The husband in turn, now becomes the sole provider and protector of his family. There are many adjustments to be made, as everyone co­ operates for the good of the family.
