Bishop is
attending
Food
Conference
The Right Reverend T. David
B. Ragg, Bishop of the Anglican
Diocese of Huron, who was in.
Brussels last week for special
services at St. Johns. Church, has
been chosen by the Primate of All
Canada, the Most Reverend
Edward W . Scott, to attend the
World Food Conference to be
held in Rome from November 5 to
16.
Last May the Bishop, in his
Charge to the Synod of Huron,
focused attention on the
increasing abase of prime farm
lrld in Western Ontario. "The
day could come." he said , "when
we, an agricultural area, will be
seeking food, if we continue to let
the farming lands disappear on
any conceivable excuse at all -- be
it highway. sprawling
subdivisions, or corridors for
hydro power lines. As Christians,
we must have a concern for the
right use of all our resources."
His statements roused
considerable response from both
government and individuals.
The Conference in Rome is
being called to discuss the
desperate fOod crisis taht is facing
the whole world. Supplies,
methods of agriculture, and the
development of new methods in
emerging countries, will be
among the topics to be
considered.
"It is a situation", Bishop
Ragg said, "that must involve the
co-operation of the whole world.
As a leading agricultural country,
Canada must give a strong lead in
this whole matter."
Bishop Ragg is one of five
Canadians representing non-
Government organizations at the
Conference.

The department is currently
studying a request to register
processed kitchen garbage.
"Our first microscopic
examinations showed bits of foil
wrap, glass and cellophane in this
product and. we will have to
discuss with the manufacturer
ways of solving this problem. We
must also be sure the processing
temperature are high enough to
kill any harmful bacteria," Dr.
Jeffers states.
"When we're satisfied that the
product is useful and safe, we can
register it -- but not until we're
sure.
"And we'll look at old shoes,
pulp wastes and the other
possibilities as industry brings
them in to us."

WORDS
TO LIVE ..BY
WHY JOE'S PARENTS CRIED
by James Taylor
The United Church of Canada
There was a kid in highschool, called Joe.
He missed a lot of school, because he kept hav-
ing operations on his back for something. But
he kept his , grades up, and somehow he managed
to be one of our best athletes too.
I remember the one track meet. His long,
wiry legs stretching for every inch of -track, Joe
came flying down the hundred yards and won.
We were all happy for him.
There weren't many parents in the stands
at those events. Most of them had to work. But
Joe's parents were there. They came to congra-
tulate him. And, to our surprise, they were
crying.
One year later, Joe was dead: All thoSe
operations were for cancer. Of the spine.
That's why Joe's parents were crying. Be-
cause they knew.
I wonder what kind of-courage they needed
when Joe told them he was trying out for the
school football team. I wonder how they felt to
watch him wheel lithely past one opponent, only
to be brought down by another's thundering
tackle.
Years later, another father whose son in-
herited an incurable illness told me: "Most of
the pain isn't giving up the child, you know . . .
it's giving up your expectations for him. You
keep thinking of what he could become. So you
try to protect him against what could happen to
him, for the .sake of your hopes for his future.
It's funny - until we realized that he could die,
we couldn't let him live."
Jesus said things like that too, puzzling
things, like learning to live each day as if there
were no tomorrow, 'and giving up your life so
that you could have it.
They make more sense when I think of Joe.
He lived with his own death within him. His
parents gave up their expectations for his life,
and let him live each day as if tomorrow would
come anyway.
One day, it didn't. But Joe had a good life.
Joe was happy. Joe was loved.
We used to think, "Poor Joe". We should
have learned something from him and his
parents.
