The Lucknow Sentinel, 1979-09-05, Page 24it. • Page 24—Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday; September .5, 1979 Visit with Friends The Lucknow Friends Worship Group (Quaker)had a visit from some travelling friends, Ben and Muriel Gough-azmier of Victoria, B.C. and Deborah Haight of Ottawa when they met at the home of Sid and. Pat Duggan for supper on Tuesday, Aug- ust 28. They had been to the. Canadian Friends Yearly Meeting at Pickering College in Newmarket from August 13 - 19, and took this oppor- tunity to travel around south- ern Ontario visiting friends and sharing the concerns raised for discussion at the Yearly Meeting. They also brought regards from friends at other meetings. Following supper the group had a hort meeting forwership and discussion of Friends' concerns. They dis- cussed, A New Call to Peace- making, an effOrt to involve Friends, Mennonites and various churches in the pro- motion of peace. One of the main areas .of • concern has been the means of peace taxation rather than war taxes. Money would be allocated for peace efforts, through taxation rather -than war hardware and training for war preparedness. The individual would be allowed to choose whether his tax money would be allocated to peace making or war prepar- edness. At present, a certain percentage of the money paid by an individual is auto- matically put towards war tactics. Another concern discussed was the subject of the' crim- inal justice system and the need for it to be more rehab- ilitative rather than simply punitive. The system as it exists concentrates on rejec- tion of the criminal by society when there is a , need to prepare the criminal for his return to society. There should be a recognition that the penal system only deals with the final stages ,of social neglect. The global political re- fugee problem was also con- sidered. At the Yearly Meet- ing the concern of the, Canadian double standard with respect to refugees was emphasized. Political. refu- gees from Argentina and Chile for example, are not being accorded the same consideration by the Canadi- an government as Southeast. Asian refugees. The group.
