Port Elgin minister heads
Prebyterian synod.
The Synod of Hamilton and Exactly 40 years ago, his
London of The Presbyterian father, the late Rev. Dr.
Church in Canada, meeting in Charles H. MacDonald of
Windsor last week elected the Lucknow, occupied the same
Rev. Dr. R. Douglas office. Within minutes of
MacDonald of Port Elgin as yesterday's installation, the
moderator. sister of the moderator, Mrs.
Alvin Mundell of Wroxeter,
was given a standing ovation
and welcomed to the court. As
Synodical president of the
Women's Missionary Society,
Mrs. Mundell reported that
one third of all .financial
support (W.M.S.) id central
and western Canada during
1976 was raised. within the
Hamilton -London area.
Host congregation for the
Synod is Paulin Memorial
Church in suburban Windsor,
one ' of seven Presbyterian
churches in the area. Now
twenty-five years old, Paulin
is composed of strikingly
modern facilities and a 600
member congregation. The
Rev. Cedric Pettigrew, called
from Nova Scotia two years
ago, isthe third minister to
serve the congregation.
A massed choir from area
Presbyterian churches,
organ- and piano, provided
r' contemporary music for the
traditional communion
service at which the
moderator of the 'General
Assembly' the Rev.
DeCourcy H. Rayner
delivered the sermon. A
memorial service was held
for the 9 ministers ' and 41
ruling elders' of synod who
f. passed away during the past
.12 months.
The Rev. Iain Nicol of Knox
College, Toronto, asked
members to consider the
admission of children to the
Sacramental Table, thus
challenging the traditional
position of the Presbyterian
.Church in Canada that
participation -in the Lord's
Supper must be' preceded by a
formal profession of faith.
Members questioned the
ability of children to "discern
the Lord's body", with fears
expressed that the church
over intellectualizes the Holy
Communion. The role of
church discipline was raised.
Greater. use of the New
Testament "Love Feast" was
suggested. The debate it was
reported will be continued at
the next General Assembly to
'be held in McNab Street
Presbyterian Church,
Hamilton, June 4 - 10th, 1978.
From Up Here
by Shelley McPhee
For years, well other than the past few, I've always
thought of myse,lf as a kid when it comes to Halloween.
I grew up on the receiving end of the candy line, and
dressed up in some costume that I never liked, mostly
because I always had to be a bum or a fat lady while ,all
my other friends seemed to be ravishing gypsies or
delicate princesses.•
But for the first time in my memory of Halloween, my
role this year in the annual event changed and I went
from the receiving line to the giving line, with my little
basket of marshmallow treats, meeting nervous and shy
youngsters at the door.
I wasn't impressed with my first Halloween, being the
victim of threatening "trick or treat" cries add staring
into nylon distorted faces of some neighbourhood kid. It
made me feel old,-br at least older, and vulnerable to the
kids banging at my door and demanding treats.
Being an unexperienced Halloween giver, I was a little
unsure of how I should act and what goodkes I should
have waiting for my ghoulish friends.
I wasn't really too keen on the idea of giving them
candy bars, carmels or chewing gum and apples are
considered boring by some—kids and suspicious by
concerned. parents. I didn't know how big a supply of
goodies I should get and could only think of eating all the
leftovers for the next three'months. Aaaargh'.
I didn't want to get anything crummy in case they
decided to pay me back with some mean trick, and I
didn't Want to give them anything too good or else I
presumed I'd have all their buddies knocking on my door
all night. '
After making a suitable choice of candy and having a
standby substitute, apples in the fridge, I prepared
myself for an evening of door answering. •
Yet the whole thing gave me an uncomfortable feeling.
What do you say .to Spiderman or Dracula when they
come knocking at your door? For some reason I could
think of nothing to say to these masked youngsters, other
than hello and goodbye.
And how do you ration out your goodies? The bags they
hold out for you are so huge and the candies I put in
barely seemed to make any difference.
Then what about the moment of silence after the treats
have been given and we stare at each other for a
moment? Are they saying to themsleves, "Is that all.
lady?" Then they run off giggling and whispering as
though' they're really putting something over on .me. I
ran in the other direction to the window just to make sure
they haven't done anything to my car or my windows.
Perhaps next year I'll be less of a novice at this event
and have a little more control and confidence during
Halloween ritual's.
But this year, I felt like ditching my candy, digging out
my dad's rubber boots and old overcoat and my mum's
old nylons, and being on the receiving line again.

1 invested money to become
a distributor and was
promised "secured
locations," but they are a
great distance from my
home and they don't want the
goods in their stores.
I think I've been had, can 1
do anything?
It's doubtful! Companies
pushing this type of
"distributorship" usually
urge investors to sign, con-
tracts on the spot.
Our advice is that
NOTHING should be signed
until you'vd had time to do
some checking. This can be
done through your nearest
Better Business Bureau or
Consumers Protection
Bureau.
Contact a lawyer and have
him explain the terms of the
contract, and never ever sign
until you are familiar with
ALL the implications. Make
sure there is a demand for the
product and don't fall for
promises of "small in-
vestment with big returns."

Six months ago I left a
deposit with a big city fur-
niture store, this was for a
tabrg that was advertised but
was out of stock.
What can 1 do to get my
table or recover my deposit?
Unfortunately you, did not
set a . specific date for
delivery. Now you can do
nothing but wait until more
tables have been shipped to
the store.
If you had set a certain
date then you could sue for
delivery and if the store failed
to produce then they would
have had to give you your
deposit back plus the dif-
ference between their sale
price, and the price you would
have to pay at another store to
get the same table-.
Shop locally next time, and
avoid the hassle.

Make sure you understand

the cuts and grades of meat
you are getting, as well as the
quality and quantity of
groceries, plus the itemized

Be suspicious of mem-

Some food plans operate on
