McKin !ey's report
BY BOB
McKINLEY, M.P.
The United Nations is a
changing organization,
and when I returned to it
this past October for a
week of briefings as a
Canadian parliamentary
observer, I was looking
for signs of change since
my last visit.
in Canada itself, we
haVe.sebn an -increase of
U.N. activity in recent
years. The International
Civil Aviation Authority,
for one thing, has long
had its world
headquarters here, in
Montrea 1.
But two years ago there
was , the Habitat Con-
ference in Vancouver,
and in 1975 the Fifth
Congress on the
Prevention- of Crime was
scheduled to take place in
Toronto. Canada backed
away from hosting the
conference at that time
because of the threat of
terrorism and in-
ternational violence
as}siq'cYated" with such-
conferences-, proof that
Canada does not live in
isolation within the
world.
At New York, Canada
is active both as a
member of the Security
Council and as a member
of several of the com-
mittees and commissions
of the United Nations.
In the Special Political
Committee, we have
recently made a
presentation on the
peaceful uses of space.
Here again, we are
directly involved in the
question, for it was in
Canada that the Soviet
Cosmos 954 satellite fell
to earth last year, in-
volving us in a major
operation to search for
radioactive con-
tamination across our
northland.
In some areas, the U.N.
has shown signs of
progress. The Fourth
C'timmittee, for example,
set up to press for the
decolonization of much of
the Third World , has
seen great success, so
much so that the U.N. has
grbwn from 55 in-
dependent members to
150.
And yet, just as the
violence and repression
which characterize the
internal politics of some
countries continues
unabated, despite the
Helsinki agreements of a
few years ago, so also
does colonial exploitation
continue in some coun-
tries of the world.
The Fourth Committee
has recently been con-
cerned with Namibia,
where the struggle for
independent self-rule
continues despite the
obstruction of South
Africa.
Canada has actively
sought solutions to this
potentially explosive
conflict. External Affairs
Minister Jamieson
recently undertook a tour
of countries ranging from
southern Africa to
London, seeking in
conjunction with some of
the developed nations of
Europe for a way out of
the impasse.
In other areas, we are
also taking the lead.
Currently we are spon-
soring a resolution -urging
all the nations of the
earth to extend voting
rights to women, as the
western nations have
done.
And so it continues. The
world changes, and with
it the United Nations.
At U.N. headquarters
the tensions and the
pressures of world
problems hang in the air.
And yet, in the
cafeterias at lunchtime, a
sense of energy also
prevails, as people from
all nations mix and learn
from each other. -
Since
1865...

Helpful Hints
Before carrying heavy
items in a paper shopping
bag, place a cardboard
shoe box at the bottom of
the bag for support. The
bag will also stay up -right
when you set it down.
Dip a cotton swab in
bleach to mark children's
names inside their boots.
To dry the insides of
boots, insert the hose of a
hairdryer or the nozzle of
a blowdryer into' the
boots.
If you have to mail
fragile articles, perhaps
for Christmas, put them
in plastic bags and
surround with mar-
shmallows.
Cover books borrowed
from a friend in brown
wrapping paper. This will
not only keep them clean,
but you can write the
owner's name on them,
and the date the book was
borrowed.

Story Hour will be held
on Saturday, Nov. 18th, at
1 p.m. at the Resource
Centre for all Children

Brownies make crafts
On Monday, November
13, the Brownies held
their meeting. We opened
as usual, then went into
our three groups to
continue on our projects.
The Tweenies wrote 'a
small story on what their
promise means to them.
They each drew a hand to
emphasize the Brownie
motto, "Lend a Hand."
During the rest of that
week, the girls did, good
deeds and filled in their
hand. After the classes,
the Brownies, gathered
together to work on crafts
which they will be putting'
in the "Vanastra
Christmas Bazaar on
December 2, 1978.
The Brownies will be
putting in a booth with
crafts they made,
donations from their
mothers, baking and -
other nick-nacks.' "
On Monday, November
13, the brownies con-
tinued to work on crafts
for the bazaar. Following
crafts, we .,had a
discussion on the
Christmas Bazaar, the
Christmas Concert and
parade. The girls decided
what part each one would
play in the concert. Our
meeting adjourned at
7:45.
On November 11, 11 of
our Brownies showed up
to march in the
Remembrance Day
Parade. The girls were at
their best behavior. We
would like to express our
thanks to Mrs. Edna
Jeffery for driving some
of the girls to the Clinton
Legion and for marching
with us.
Our thanks also go to
Mrs. Sharon Bonte-Gelok
for driving the girls. A
very special thanks to the
Legion for hot chocolate
and cookies.
