Varna goes snaky By Mary Chessell There was some excite- ment at Brian McAsh's a week ago Monday when a large snake crawled out from beneath the back steps. It was eventually identified by Dave Roy as being a milk Hake, something that is not 4eommonly seen in the ,village. The Varna -Goshen CGIT girls and their mothers en- joyed a pot luck supper and program at Varna church on Monday evening. The girls put on a skit The Dating Ser - Vice. Anson McKinley took part in a dialogue with Rev. Wilena Brown on the topic Christians, Systems and Responsibilities at the Varna and Goshen church services. Anson feels the church should not pressure the government in policy mat- ters, but should be most con- cerned with the individuals who are members, so they in turn will have a positive in- fluence in society, and in the responsible use of our resources. • He pointed out that it is our demand for paper, for in- stance, that necessitates having large paper which pollute our no rivers. The things we think we have a right to, even education and medical care, are not free, and must be paid for in some way. The more we depend on govern- ment and other organiza- tions to provide for these things, the less freedom we have. He admitted there are many complex issues, without easy answers, but the dialogue raised • some thought-provoking issues. Anson also pointed out that people who. are not suc- cessfully using their talents and business or farming ex- pertise, have little to offer to other people. ANSTETT The congregation was celebrating Rogation Sun- day, and members offered seeds; soil and water as well as money. A representative of the business world was also included. The children planted a pot, of zinnia seeds for the church flower bed. Next Sunday there will be a report from Conference • and Pentecost, and the following Sunday Rev.
