UCWs petition against Sunday shopping
At the annual meeting on
January 25 of Huron-Perth Presby-
terial of the United Church Wo

signed requesting David Peterson
to accept provincial responsibility
for decisions regarding Sunday
store openings, and further not to
extend these beyond present
limits.
Wesley-Willis United Church,
Clinton, welcomed the 249 dele
gates from the two counties. The
report from Doris Miller of the
World Outreach Committee show

purchase 900 pounds of vegetable
seeds worth $10,000 for distribu

Angola, and to the Church-in-the-
Bush. A small balance was sold at
reasonable prices to local farmers.
One black-skinned onion variety is
known as “Black Gold’’ because
the harvest from $1.50 worth of
seed will pay a child’s school costs
for a full year!
Other reports showed that Unit

wide range of Canadian concerns -
practical help was offered to
Optimism Place, Stratford, and
House of Friendship in Goderich;
to nursing homes and shut-ins,
Meals on Wheels, and to the

remembering our heritage
“Ontario’s heritage - take it to
heart” is the slogan for Heritage
Week ‘88 which will be celebrated
across Ontario from February
15-21. The slogan will appear with
a heart motif - symbolizing affec
tion and life itself - on posters and
other promotional materials being
produced jointly by the Ministry of
Culture and Communications and
The Ontario Heritage Foundation.
“For many of us, heritage is
really a very personal thing, ’ ’ said
Minister of Culture and Communi
cations Lily Oddie Munro. “It is all
those tangible and intangible
elements which make up the
context within which we have
developed our society and within
which we ourselves have develop
ed. For some, it is a special

others, a folk song or a cherished
custom.”
“There are many sound econo
mic and solid intellectual reasons
for preserving our heritage, but the
most important is probably so
cial,” she continued. “Heritage
preservation has become a major
force in Ontario because a great
many people care about their
past.”
“Heritage Week is a time to
celebrate our heritage, both per
sonally and collectively, to pro
mote public awareness and partici
pation, and to salute all those
involved in heritage activities,”
added Richard Alway, Chairman of
The Ontario Heritage Foundation,
an agency of the Ministry of
Culture and Communications.
Those who have heard her report of
a visit to a mission in Cuernavaca,
Mexico, know that Muriel will
bring back a vivid account of
conditions in Ethiopia.
Warm appreciation to the out
going President, Alma Langford of
Exeter, was shown by presenta tion
ofa Life Membership pin, and a
standing ovation. Her successor is
Helen Anderson, of Tavistock, who
is also Chairperson of Ladies’
Programme for the International
Ploughing Match next September
in Perth county.
