The Homuths gave an account of their trip to Australia and New Zealand which they took last October and November. They flew from Toronto via Chicago to San Francisco and after a short stop -over, they flew on to Tonga Island and the Fiji Islands where they spent several days. The people and the scenery of these Polynesian Islands were fascinating to see for the Homuths. Another flight ,took the couple to Wellington, North Island and New Zealand, some 7,000 miles from home. The group enjoyed seeing slides of Wellington and also of Auckland, the snow- capped mountains, clouds of steam rising from the clefts in the rocks which the natives pipe down to town and cities to be converted into power, and also the beautiful scenery and flowers. Pictures were shown of the beautifully modern cities of Melbourne and Sidney, rugged coastlines, coral reefs, gorgeous sunsets over the ocean, sheep farms, the koala bear and kangaroo which are native animals, and the beautiful jacaranda tree. The Homuths returned by way of the Hawaiian Islands, with a one night stop -over in Honolulu, resulting in some familiar scenes from Waikiki Beach.

Mr. Herman was born in Clinton on July 24, 1884 the fourth son of the late Edward Charles and Ellen Herman. Three brothers and seven sisters predeceased him. In the First World War, Mr. Herman went Senior citizens to be honored all next week In Ontario on June 18 a special week long celebration will begin. Senior Citizens' Week. An occasion when we recognize the many valuable contributions that senior citizens are making to this province. This year, the theme of Senior Citizens' Week is REACH OUT. Ontario's minister of community and social services, the Hon. Keith Norton, who is responsible for many provincial services to the elderly, sees this special week as a time for the young and the elderly to reach out to each other; a time to promote com- munity involvement; and a time for reaching out to those who need help and encouragement. To celebrate Senior Citizens' Week, the many centres, groups and homes for the elderly throughout Ontario will be , staging their own events such as craft shows, outings, dances and social nights. As well, many civic organizations and public places such as museums and art galleries are preparing programs especially for seniors. In fact, an increasing number of organizations, both public and private, are formally recognizing the particular needs and importance of our older people. Most banks and trust companies offer special privileges to seniors such as free chequing. Drug com- panies, travel agents, and theatres are making their products and services available to the elderly at reduced rates. Companies and in- stitutions are recognizing the special needs of Brucefield hosts UCW Ladies from six neigh- bouring churches were guests of the members of Brucefield United Church on Tuesday afternoon and were welcomed by the president Mrs. Arnold Taylor. The theme of the worship was the Lord's Prayer, conducted by Mrs. M..Graham, Mrs. D. Treibner and Mrs. E. Stoll. It was pointed out we say the words but are we always aware of what we are repeating. Ten members of Unit one sang and Mrs. Alex McBeach from Unit two gave two readings. Mrs. G.

They are also recognizing that this segment of Canada's population --the over -60's- - are increasing in number much more rapidly than other age groups. Statistics Canada figures show that in 1976 the, 65 -plus age group made up 8.67 per cent of the nation's total population, while those 0- 19 years of age --the largest group --made up 35.72 per cent. By the year 2001, however, those over 65 will makeup 11.75 per cent of the population and the 0-19 group will be 26.74 per cent. This means a 35.5 per cent increase in the number of Canadians over 65 during that period, while the number of people 0-19 will decline by 25.1 per cent. Close to one in five Canadians will be over 60 by the turn of the century. And one in eight will be 65 or more. For most Canadians approaching retirement the prospect of becoming a senior citizen is faced with mixed feelings. While many look forward to freedom from the pressures and routine of the working world, they also worry about loss of identity, losing touch with friends and, most of all, how"- they will fill .the many hours of free time that will soon be available to them. 1 Here women from the Huron -West Women's Institute admired a display when they held their 78th District Annual meeting Monday In the Nile United Church.

"How pleasant it is to have friendly, warm and helpful neighbours. They make a dark day a little brighter and a good day even more enjoyable. But how many of us are good neighbours?" asked Walter Gardiner, spokesman for Jehovah's Witnesses of the Clinton area. "Warm greetings, acts of courtesy and con- sideration are high on the list of today's scarcities. People in many places note a growing lack of concern for others," he observed. Mr. Gardiner added that one factor strongly affecting human relations is our modern society. The system works against the spirit of generosity. It tends to make us insensitive and selfish. Interest is focused on things such as houses, cars, clothes, and entertainment rather than on people. Some people are ap- plying the principle expressed by Confucius, the Chinese philosopher: "Do not do unto others what you do not want them to do unto you". They feel that if they never hurt anyone they mummotmoammomma Goderich Recreation Dept. Leisure Buddy Program WE NEED YOU! Help a mildly retarded adult or child to become part of our community!

But the best neigh- bour who ever lived, Jesus Christ, expressed this same thought in a much more positive way in the famous "Golden Rule": "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". His way called for positive action toward our neighbours, not merely refraining from harming them but actually looking for ways of helping them. However, where can we turn to acquire something of value to share with our neighbours? This is a question that many who are now Jehovah's Witnesses once asked themselves. According to Gardiner they found the answer in the book where they first read the Golden Rule, the Bible. When Jehovah's Witnesses from our area meet with more than 75,000 friends from about 35 countries at Montreal's Olympic Park from July 5-9, they will hear sound •1 principles of neighbo___/ love explained and demonstrated.
