The moral affirmation that j-iumn ifs is Sacred gets sever ly shaken in. time of war. Rom ing, pillage, slaughter end -destruction- of property are carried out for supposedly high and lofty purposes. Human life is considered cheap. People are rooted out of their homes. Not only soldiers, but civilians also, are maimed, tortured find killed. Christianity has never been strongly 'diough opposed to war. The Church has been in- dulgent of greedy rulers and Rational pride, and has 'never come down sharply enough ;against aggression. Perhaps The 'God of . Armies is too strong an Old ' Testament image; and the words of Jesus, "They who live by the sword will die by the sword" has never been taken seriously enough, The Sanctity of Human Life is evident also in the current problem of abortion. The in- crease in legal abortion in the past year or so has been phenomenal. In some cases abortion has become a type of contraceptive. "Abortion as an easy "out" if pregnancyP proves to be an inconvenience is a . growingattitude among some., The most striking and, probably, heartening ' fact is that many doctors and nurses who have -had experience in abortion work are so repelled by it that they refuse to do any more except when -.absolutely essential from a medical viewpoint. ' One would assume that those who violently oppose war, genocide, torture and capital punishment would also be strong in their opposition t abortion. Curiously enough, this is not necessarily the case. Could it be because the unborn are unknown? Because the human fetus seems to have, as yet, no identity? I am .told that in abortion clinics the terminology is very. carefully chosen. The word Theibr—is nor" used.''`What�'is:� -r. `ntents of the , uterti .# nfiive ' s igg�'iel' , ` that 'tile tict"fonlt 24 'ng sensation is similar to a birth contraction.-, As we seem to resolve orie problem, another arises. We continue to find new challenges in the never-ending. search for the real sacredness of human life._ • What will the next serious problem be? The killing of senile people as a • humanitarian gestyre' has 'been considered by some American legislatures. Possibly, following on Abortion, it will be suggested that the law allow parents to kill an unwanted child - within, let us say, the tury to preeg,rve human life by medical and` social means. Let w us be sure that we retain our religious belief in the Sanctity of Life, so that our , moral judgements are not built upon the flimsy foundation of our own self-centred ,opinions. Derelict vehicles draw attention 'Effective Saturday, July 7, anyone 'with' more than two derelict vehicles on ,his property will. be.subJect to Ontario's new derelict motor vehicle regulation, Environment Minister James Auld an- nounced today. "Enforcement measures will be applied gradually;" Mr. Auld said, ',but our intention is to establish 'control over private and commercial ac- - cumulations of junked automobiles. When the regulation is fully enforced, the owners of these collections will have to choose either proper disposal -or the establishment of a regulated, well-run waste management system." He said those who plan to continue -operation will require a. certificate, issued only to ap- proved sites ti and systems. "While the enforcement, struck ture is being developed," he said, "we intend to do our best to encourage people r.-„ ith. inoper-able cars on, t eir property to have -.them re oved or. to co-operate with cleanup programs." . Last summer, theEMinistry of. the Environment sent- seven -team's of students across On- tario to establish the extent:of the abandoned car problem. They conducted surveys,around © --I#errr = , lt- Ste.

The survey established that there are close to 500,000 aban- i doned cars n the •prvince• s a result of the suey, sdmne , cal collection of derelict autos was accomplished, Mr. Auld said. "But in the absence of an organized transport and marketing system for recycling, these •collected hulks had to be taken to the nearest landfill site. This summer, $2,000 has been set aside .to,get�these cars from the landfill sites to where they can be reclaimed as raw metal. A car contains more than a ton and a half of steel. That's' too much to, throw away." In'addition, three experimen- tal programs get under way this summer in Sault Ste Marie • Thunder Bay and in Renfrew and ark. counties. Ministry -wLan aste management staff estimate that there are about 2,700 abandoned cars to clean vp around Sault Ste. Marie,. 7,500 in the Thunder Bay area and 10,000 in the other ex-. perimental program area. Eighty thousand -.dollars has been set aside in the Ministry's budget to try various cleanup systems in these areas. "Our goal is to determine the most economical system so that we can establish a practical cleanup program next .year. It may take two or three years to rid our roads and fields of the backlog of. accumulated auto hulks. Even then, we will have to maintain- a continuing program, because `the need will remain as long as the people of Ontario continue to drive, and wear out, cars," concluded' On- tario's environmental minister. 1 SUNDAY JULY 22 f • 4' aqpRRICH'BICINAI-$TAR, THURSDAY, JVLY ` 10, The MacGillivray Mission Eland members of Knox Presbyterian Church recently deIhiered mint candles to several shut -Ins in the area.
