There were dogs, eats, white' rats with babies, a raccoon, a goat and birds, including, parrots, budgies and- parakeets. One a£ the parrots, at. age 05 years, could speaig. in trench, Spanish and English: Just of what her vocabulary consisted was hard to slay, since she wasn't in a talkative snood when some of us were around. For the residents to see, who couldn't get outside, some of the pets were taken indoors.. It was a very warm day, but lots of drinking water was provided for the animals. They were all well-behaved, and one would think they had been trained. There wasn't even a dog fight. Our thanks to Jane who had the event so organized, and to everyone involved. It was barbecued hot dogs and'hamburgs on Tuesday noon, for all the ladies on Ground Centre. Another delicious meal served in the sunny outdoors and enjoyed by everyone. Our thanks to those people, who are providing these extra treats. Wednesday was a beautiful day for a number of residents to visit with Hellen Bradley, and enjoy a picnic on the back lawn.

While is God, a ,, we had a tour of the town, seeing quite a few landmarks and saw a boat being loaded with salt. The scenic drive home was lovely and so thanks for another perfect day. Residents in the South Wing had their turn on Thursday, for the hot dog and hamburg barbecue. And also today, Bible Study was held in the chapel. Mrs. Prouty was in charge, and led in the singing of the hymns. The scripture lesson was taken and read by Mabel Scott, followed by prayer requests taken by Mrs. Prouty. Bible promises were given by the residents. A poem was read by Olive McMillen. The study was found in Acts 18. The meeting closed with a hymn and prayer. The ball game planned for Friday afternoon had to be cancelled, so in place of that, residents enjoyed a few games of bingo. Roman Catholic Mass was held in the chapel, with Reverend Pluta in charge off the service. Reverend Pick, looking well and refreshed from his holiday, was in charge of Sunday morning worship. The choir sang an old favorite song. To the families of the late Mrs. Grace Fairservice, of the late Mr. James Curwen and of the late Miss Mary Ellen Swan, we extend our sincere sympathy.

The group also says Canada should public- ly condemn U.S. intervention in Latin America and call for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops in the area. The recommendations come in a Church and International Affairs committee report which says the church is morally bound to side with those who hope for an interna- tional order of peace and justice. The report says there are two competing views of inter- national relations today: that international affairs are motivated by the law of the jungle or society. Those on the side of society, the report says, are under an obligation to "enter the international arena with the `common good' of the citizens of all nations in mind, as well as the best -interests of our citizens". The report says that as a middle power, Canada has a role to play that goes beyond "mere observation of the world scene but stops short of actual control over some of reinforce the the keyforces that nfo jungle.". The report to the United Church's General Council meeting in 4Morden, Manitoba August 7-16, recommends several- ways Canada and the church can help promote in- ternational peace and justice. - On nuclear weapons, the committee recommends, the United Church affirm the World Council of Churches declaration that the production and deployment and use of nuclear weapons are a crime against humanity and should be condemned on ethical and theological grounds. - On the Christian response to weapons of mass destruction, the report urges the church to recognize non-violent, responsible civil disobedience as an appropriate means for peace -making. - - On . Central America, the report says Canada should recognize the achievements of the Nicaraguan government by approv- ing a requested $18 million line of credit. Canada should also open an embassy in Nicaragua to foster better communications between the two countries, the report says.

Council to look at ordination The proposed ordination of homosexuals will not be the only controversial issue up for debate when The United Church of Canada meets in General Council in August. But it is expected to grab much of the media attention. , The .proposal comes from a task force established '.5y the church's Division of Ministry Personnel and Education. Because the church has now no policy on ordaining homosexuals, the division was asked by the church executive to review the church's policy on ordination and tosuggest guidelines on how church Conferences could handle the ordination . of self -declared homosexuals. The task force released its report in March with the principal conclusion 'that sexual orientation should not be factor in ordination; that homosexuality should not be a barrier to ordination. The report says church Conferences, responsible for ordinations, should be advised that it is inappropriate for interview committees to ask candidates'for ordination to disclose their sexual orientation. The report recommends the church take preparatory steps so a policy of ordaining homosexuals can be implemented by 1985 at Church Services Fellowship Bible Chapel 162 Maple Street Clinton Sunday, August 12 9:45 Worship & Remembrance 11 a.m. Sunday School and Family Bible Hour 7 p.m. Evening Service SPEAKER: Cleason Weber, Elmira 8 p.m. Tues. - Prayer 8 Devotion Christian Reformed Christian Reformed 'Church 74:3 Princess St. E.

As was expected, the report sparked heated debate in church congregations, Presbyteries and Conferences, polarizing people into two main camps: those who agree with the. tasicforce thatthere are no Biblical, theologfdal, or mpral or health arguments to exclude homosexuals and those who disagree. . About 350 delegates from the church's 12 Conferences will meet in Morden, Manitoba August 7 - 16 to discuss the issue. Votes taken by.Conferences indicate the majority of church people would like to see the matter deferred by -General Council for further. study. At Morden, General Council may adopt the report in its entirety or may reject it.out of hand. It may iron out some amendments and accept it. It may turn the report back to the task force or the church as a whole for further study. Or, it may recommend a referendum on the question. Whatever happens, church officials point out that even if General Council adopts the report, the decision of who is 'fit' •for ordination still rests with each church Conference.
