MEN 'ARE ASKING SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS; LAYMEN TOLD, CLINTON.--"The human pro-, gramis simple -and yet terrible: we either accept the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man or, sure as I am standing here, we are going to blast our- selves off -the face -of the ;earth:' Dr. A. W. Rees, -principal, of Renison College, University of Waterloo, in an address to the Brotherhood—of—A n g -1 -i -c -a -n - Churchmen, Huron Deanery, here on Wednesday evening, _May 30, , alluded to recent achievements in space explor- ation and the attitude of young people to "the things that 'mat- ter." "Reading about the deeds of Glenn and Carpenter, you can understand the thrill to young boys," he said, "and there is a tradition about the engineering type' of training which gives a sense of power over man's en- vironment. cd know, from my contacts with engineering stud- ents and bright young scient- ists that they are not getting answers to some very deepper- sonal problems, and of course, the question is, `where is all this taking us?' We sent men into orbit. • We will put a man on the moon long before 1970, I am sure. "The •minds of the Russians,. of course, are whiter than dri- ven snow, but I have a suspicion that much experiments are militaristic in purpose: "How pathetically stupid of Khrushchev -to say that his astronauts circling. the . globe did not see any God! What an ignorant man he is. • "I feel .strongly that God is not mocked. Man is bucking against the °conditions God lays' down, but - he must. accept the fact that he is something creat- - ed and will never be a whole personality until he acknow- ledges the fatherhood of Cod. "This is not wishful thinking, but I find in many young people a concern . for the things that matter. They are a more ser- ious generation than the one before. The questions they are asking—even the engineers-1- are ngineers=are spiritual questions. Of course they, may see how many, they can pack into a telephone booth, and that is what the press always picks up." Dr. Rees; a--history-teacher, is a native of Wales. He taught at the University ,of Natal but, 'as Herb Bridle said in intro- ducing him, "he could riot agree with the government's " racial policy." He eame to' the United States and taught there, also three summers in British Col - umbia, Alberta and Manitoba. D. Madge Speaks President Clayton Dixon, of Clinton, called upon Douglas Madge, of Goderich, to give his impressions of Seager Hall, wheretthe has completed a year of intramural study for the -min- istry. "Staff and students of Huron College," Mr. Madge said, "go out of their way toencourage andassist us, and we are grad- ually integrating with diem in various aspects. I wish I had had the foresight years ago to have made this choice of voca- tion. I feel that I shall be able, with God's .help, to serve Him and His Church." "Mr. Madge," said Dr. Rees, "is the first Seager Hall man I have heard. I congratulate the B.A.C.. -if you are -responsible for helping him, and I con- gratulate him on his talk there tonight." Leslie Riley, of . St. George's Church, Goderich, invited the Deanery B.A.C. to hold its fall meeting .there, and this was accepted.. Others attending _from Gode-• rich were Rev. Canon K. E. Taylor, O d. Foreman,-. Sam An- derson, W. E. Elliott" and Mr. Madge.

Of Other Days By Mary Manning ROLMESVILLE: -- In sharp contrast to the recent quiet liquor vote in Goderich Town- ship - were the lively contests between the temperance so- cieties and ,tayern customers of the past century. ' Following 'the passing of the Duncan Act in 1864' and , its re- poal a year later, another vote was held in 1866. When Robert Thompson, grandfather of the present township clerk Robert Elliott Thompson, arrived at Holmesville to vote he 'found a brawl in progress. Several citizens had received bruises and black eyes, and one even had his ear chewed, before Thompson was able to stop the fighting. One of the trouble -makers, John Splan, had been a former employee of Thompson at fram- ing barns. Thompson urged Splan to return home and to remain there for a time for fear future brawls might lead to a gaol term. Splari went home and employed his knowledge of carpentry and his pent-up en- ergy at building the boat which later appeared at Burke's Beach. After staying at home for a month, Splan proceeded to ter- rorize his -fellow-citizens by gal- loping along the township roads and shouting' "The Fenians Are Coming!” John Cox grabbed his gun, which lacked a firing pin, while others armed themselves with pitchforks. One even took a -neekyoke: -For three -days these farmers camped at Burke's Beach, -guarding -the- boat which - was presumed to belongto the. Fenians. Then it mysteriously disappeared so the local citizens went home. Many were the amusing in- cidents as a result of the Fen- ian scare. A certain Samuel Blair crawled for safety into a hollow log with a batch of pan- cakes for food. Thereafter, ,he was called "Sam Pancake:" Catherine Downing, Bayfield, added Paris green to her flour supply before .fleeing with her young children to her father's Maitland Concession farm. The older daughters of that John Cox whose gun lacked its firing- pin; managed to pull the hayrack off the wagon and put on the wagon box. Then they took their mother and younger brothers and sisters to the farm of their grandfather, Mr. Rout- ledge. Fatally injured in a fail at the construction site of the Douglas Point Nuclear Powere Station, Thursday, May 31, George S. Zoethout, 51, of 166 Bennett street, Goderich, was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Kincardine General .a os-, pital. Funeral services ere held Saturday afternoon at three o'clock, from North Street United Church 'with Rev. W. J. ten Hoopen officiating. Inter- ment followed in Colborne ceme- tery. Mr. Zoethout,• employed as a carpenter on the nuclear pro- ject, was working at the sec- ond floor level in the,. reactor building at the time of the accident. Engaged inrconstruct- ing forms for the pouring of cozier*, he somehow lost his footing and fell 35 feet to the main floor. Called to--the-scene from Kincardine, Dr. D. A. D. Miller had the injured man rushed to the hospital but he was pronounced dead upon ar ,rival by Dr. M. R. Halliwell, Bruce `County coroner. . His partner, Mickey Prochazk, was working below the level where Mr. Zoethout was engag- ed and witnessed the fall but *as powerless to do anything. Both men were working on scaf- folding erected for the cement pouring operation. Mr. Zoethout is survived by his wife, the former Grietje Ldonspra, and three sons; . Doug- las 26, Terry 18 and Raymond 15, all ,resident. iii Goderich. An older son, Daco, predeceased bis father last November at Guelph. Two sisters, Mrs, A. OAukje) Visser and Nanny Zoethout, and two brothers, Tjeerd and Jan, as well as the victim's father, Mr, Douwe. Zoethout, all of Hinde- lopen, Holland, also survive. The family came to Canada in 1953 from 1•lindelopen, residing in Goderich for three years, then in. Fergus until 1959 when they returned to Goderich. Mr. Zgethout, a member of the Car- penters' Union, worked around the Goderich district at his trade until starting with the Douglas Point CANDU construction last summer. He resumed his work at the station early this year. Mr. Zoethout was a membor of North Street ilnited Church. The remains rested at the Stiles funeral home prior to the church service Saturday -after- noon. The.
