(News -Record photo) 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... we've been first with the news you want to know CLINTON NEWS -RECORD News of the Teen Clubs Teen Club Thirteen teens were present for their regular Friday evening meeting of the Resource Centre at 7 p.m. The group worked on their candle holder projects for the Christ- mas Bazaar and then played some cards.

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. Upcoming events Story Hour will be held on Saturday, Nov. 18th, at 1 p.m. at the Resource Centre for all Children age 3-5 yrs. Mrs. Jade Guibault will tell the story this week.

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 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.
