B�#tee aPublic , tlnd�rstar�ding 4� .Area Air Force Personnel Urged "Our service has a. very poor press," declared Rev, Richard Bussey, R.C. ,cha laip at Clin- ton stati ton RC p orr, speaking to Godevich Rotary Club, "When one of the boys gets into trouble that brrings him into court, hot only his name is `published but always that he is from the RCAF station. Nothing about the con- tribution these young fellow's are making to the defence of our country. It is as if any' of *on men got into a jam and of only your publish- ed was publish- . ed but that you were a member of tI - Rotary Club." Father Bussey:.eharged- also• that there is a. general lack of social life, outside titeit camp, for young men of the RCAF. . "In the war," he said, "the Knights of Columbus,. Salvation Army, Legion, Rotary Club all did much for the **on. aettve serVice. Today, not one service club, to my knowledge, isdo- ing a thing for these young men. You have these 2,000 young men right under your, wing' Generally, - they are be- ing neglected. Treat these boys with respect and sympathy "We ` have at Clinton 2,600 personnel, and 1,900 are train. ees. The average age is 19, and they come 'from homes exactly like yours, and from., all parts of Canada. In a day, I may see 20 to 30 in my 'Office. We get letters from mothers, writ- ten in French, Polish, German, some in English. Of my 950 men, 50% are ht. mass' every Sunday. We have mass every evening in the huxiliary chapel, and I will guarantee there is. not a parish where -30 '' to 35 young men, average age 19, are coming to mass every day.'' You Can Help 'There' is much you can ac- complish in your community," the:. speaker told the Rotarians. "Whatever you do for the youth and children of your town willshow results 12 to 15 years• from now." In contrast to the wartime setup, Father Bussey explained, the chaplain services now are well organized. He traced the chain of authority in the. Roman tholic chaplain service from Pope John, "who' 'reserves for himself the office .of Bishop of the armed services„" through his vicar in Canada, Archbishop Roy of Quebec, ' a great priest and really our contact with Na- tional Defence"; under him a chaplain -general, and a deputy for each of the armed services. Then each command chaplain is responsible for the units there- in; Clinton fall's under training command. 1t the station level, Father.., Bussey remarked, "we are the only people who,legitin:• ately serve God and la'ammon. We are directly responsible to the ecclesiastical.•iuthority, and in. military affairs to the chief administrative officer, in a line that leads directly, to the com- manding oihcer.,..F:..._ . . "All the facilities wes e, ueb long to the -department. of °na- tional defence, and the C.O. is responsible and we must an- swer to him for our.use, of these facilities. The function of the chaplain1-teas to do with more technical details than ever be- fore, and the Air. Force is train- ing seminarians, student min. isters, for the chaplain services." Daniel Murphy, who attended St. Michael's College at the same time' as "Dick" Bussey, introduced him and cited brief- ly his varied service since grad- uation and ordination. As an Air Foirce• chaplain, he served first in Western Canada. Expresses Thanks Rev. Cecil Dukelow, 'thanking Father Bussey for an enjoyable and informative address recall- ed his own experience with the armed •services. "You have given us one point we should think seriously about," he added. "There is no reason we cannot do more than we have done for the services." President Murray MacDonald reviewed briefly some outstand- ing events of the year. "We had the famous astro- naut exploration of outer space," he recalled, "anis Khrushchev and Kennedy standing off with chips on their shoulders over the Cuban thing.. Another event we had worthy of note was an election in the Domin- ion—the paradoxical thing of business prosperity being ex- panded, and then when we set- tled down • a bit we came into the austerity plan. Locally we had the pleasant.disturbance of an election in our own town." Guests at the luncheon meet- ing were officials from a num- ber of Goderich industries and other organizations: Gordon Muir, Sifto SaltCompany; C. E. Everett, Bert Robinson and Bill Gardiner, of Sheaffe - Pen Co,,; John Sully, Bruce Sully and L. B. Graham, Dominion Road, Machinery Co.; Con Beech - Ter, Goderich • Manufacturing Co.; Frank McDonald, British Mortgage & Trust, and Rev. G. Lockhart ,Royal, minister of Knox –Presbyterian Church.

Madeleine de Scuderi, a French writer of , the courtly 17th century,attained great fame and popularity in that much different day precisely be- cause the characters in her works engaged in endless con- versations full of refined and meaninEless gallantries. Her characters uttered sentences so long and • involved that their significance was ever in danger of getting lost. Mlle de Scuderi won the prize in the first corn - petition of the French Academy. NIGERIAN IS� KNOX SPEAKER The Reverend Inya Ude, a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Nigeria, spelled out the great mission of the Church Universal-: to a large congrega- tion ongregation in Knox Church last Sun- day. In hid remarks he stated, without- equivocation, that the one thing the white man had to offer Africa, and the rest of the tun -Christian world, was 'a living, saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. He did not spare his audience but pointed out that the Canadian congre- gations are so wed to material- ism that, they fail to grasp and understand the plight of the underdeveloAed countries and. their thirst' for an anchor in life. The hope of Africa; in the advancements of the 20th cen- tury culture, is to be found in the one Gospel delivered unto all mankind in the Advent of Jesus Christ. The Reverend Inya Ude (pro-• pounced In-ya U-deh) is at pra- sent studying in the tUniversity of Toronto and is making his home in the residence of Knox College, 'In the fall ca 1963 he hopes to enter Knox College for one year of intensive study in General Theology. After'that he will return to Nigeria. Prior to the service on Sun- day, Mr. Ude spoke to the pupils of the junior, intermediate and senior departments of the Sab- bath school. Ile, gave an urg- ent call for volunteers ln the work of Christ Jesus. During the weekend Mr. Ude was entertained at the homes of Dr. and Mrs. J. R. 'Leitch, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Walter, and ,the Rev. G. L. and Mrs. Royal. He was much impress- ed with the amount of snow in Goderich and,said he had never seen so much anywhere before. 96th BIRTHDAY Mr)' Tom Warrener observed his 96th birthday on Sunday at Alexandra Hospital. As the oldest Mason in Goderich, he i e- ceivec` a bouquet of Sowers from Maitland Masonic Lodge. He received a birthday cake from his daughter and one also was made by the hospital staff for_ him. • • Christmas means W ,f so many things... • spiritual joy, ,,leery laughter, warm friendships.
