Donald MacDonald Messages from the Word "Lord, when did we find you hungry and fed yon, naked and clothed you? He paid, when you did it to the least of these, you did it to me." A well planned WALK produces 'a sense of excitement which is something new in most communities. It often creates a new feeling of pride and community spirit, and helps to break down barriers; and, of course, in the money raised' makes >a real contribution to world development. The Goderich OXFAM,,"Miles for Millions" WALK on Saturday, May 3, provides such an 'opportunity for involvement of people of all ages. It is easy to think of young/people walking and theiriders sponsoring them, but many older people walk and sense this pride of accomplishment. The proceeds of the May 3 WALK go to OXFAM OF CANADA, which is like a World. Charity Bank, making grants of money to churches and international relief agencies to carry on and instigate programs of development. You will be • interested to 0 learn of most recent grants of OXFAM to Nigeria and Biafra which now total over $286,000. of which, $1,500. was given to Catholic Relief and $5,000 to Caritas; $10,000 to the Canadian Council of Churches (refugee relief program); $10,000 to International Comm.of the Red Cross (relief supplies); $50,000 for OXFAM food ship' and $25,000 to the Canadian Red Cross for food for the ship; $50,000 to help purchase super aw constellation plane to fly in supplies; $15,000 to supply relief and medical team in federal Nigeria. ,.Other_ reoenLgrants._.to then world areas were made to the Salvation Army, Mennonites and Catholic teams working in Haiti; to ,the Rotary Club of Dakao for .a new dispensary in Viet Nam; $67,000 to . David Eadie, Toronto businessman to supply welldrilling equipment and irrigation„ pipes etc ' (under United Church Board of World t Mission). This is OXFAM at work through ,churches, service clubs and relief agencies. The most recent example of. dramatic • co-operation was the t joint action of the Presbyterian Church and OXFAM in the purchase of the Super Constellation aircraft for Biafra. Catholic, Anglican;• United churches made large grants and the Jewish community have promised assistance. The OXFAM grants are made w i t h.eut consideration • of religion, race . or colour -- "NEED" is the only basis on which grants . are made. If you walk or sponsor a walker on May 3,-- you assist this program and world. relief and development in 120 countries. LOCALSH CORRESPONDENT ''MRS' O.

Certainly we cannot ignore the fact that if we involve them early in their professional career they will become positive contributing members who will become leaders in the not -too -distant future." The meeting also heard resolutions expressing concern about a swing towards larger classes fn' some areas of the province. The province„ has a ratio hof 17:1 in its secondary 'school classrooms — 17. students to one teacher. But, because this figure includes principals, , vice -principals and other non -teaching specialists, the actual ratio is closer to 30:1.. The teacher - shortage — Ontario expects to have 2,700 unqualified persons in its secondary schools next fall — prompted warnings that some school administrators start hiring unqualified•teachers early in: the year from universities. "There is, in my opinion, no need for any board of education or its officers to take advantage of the one-sided date- (hiring begins March 1) by tiptoeing through the ranks of soon-to-be graduated university students ." said Dr. Felker.
