Huronview enjoys
a bit of Ireland
HURONVIEW - There was still a bit of the
Irish around on March 18, when the
Foghorns from Goderich presented a
concert in fine style. They were guests for
dinner and enjoyed a delicious meal of Irish
stew. This talented group which entertains
so vibrantly, gave a program consisting of,
Irish tunes and jokes. Frank Bissett joined
the group and accompanied at the piano for
a lively singsong.
Tuesday afternoon a class in ceramics
was held for all interested residents. They
clean and paint the greenware, preparing it
for the firing, , and the end results are
beautiful objects off art.
The Blyth Women's Institute had charge
of the March birthday party. George
Harrower of Blyth, a world traveller,
showed some exciting and colorful slides,
taken in many countries he has visited over
the years. His commentary was interesting
and quite informative. Laura Saundercock
thanked Mr. Harrower for showing his
slides. Tea and fancy cupcakes were served.
A number of residents went in to Clinton
on March 21 to try their skill at the Crown
Bowling Lanes;- Others attended the mid-
week Bible Study. Mrs. Prouty who is in

Huron Bishop Jones sees Uganda dight
HURON - "Uganda is a nation which five
years ago was on the brink of total
disintegration," Bishop Derwyn Jones told a
news conference in London. With a return to .
"constitutional democracy", the country is
facing "great obstacles in trying to re-
establish
itself," he said, "but we have to
admire the great strides made."
Bishop Jones was one of five .Canadian'.
"partners -in -mission" who, along with,
representatives of the world-wide Anglican
Communion, attended the (Anglican)
Church of Uganda Conference at Mukono,
near Kampala, in mid-February, "'not to
direct, or as 'big brothers', but to help them
set their priorities."
"Five years is a very short time to
rebuild," Bishop Jones said, and the country
is "still in some disarray." With a "stagger-
ing inflation rate, communication links

In the Diocese of Northern Uganda, where Predominantly Anglican because of
"historic ties" with Britain and Canada,
conference delegates were encouraged by
their partners -in -mission to use African
music and song, dance and art forms ' in
their worship. ••
The Church of Uganda was trot asking for
money, Bishop Jones said, "although any
help is welcome." As Christians, called to
bear one another's burdens, "the Christian
Church around the world has to feel some
sense of commitment to help," he added.
Anglicans in Huron Diocese have recently
contributed $365,000.00 for the relief of world
hunger. Money given by the Duron Hunger
Fund to the Primate's Fund of the Anglican
Church was still important, Bishop Jones
said, because of its support for development
projects which establish long-term
assistance enabling Africans to feed
themselves.
Bishop Jones visited for a week before at-
tending the conference, "water is at a
desperate premium." Women walk up to 10
miles for a jug of water ... often polluted, he
said. This area borders on Ethiopia but
there is no "wholesale movement of
refugees" across the borders which are "ill-
defined". The government is "grateful for
the Church's role" in "working with the peo-
ple at the grassroot$ level to help them cope
with their problems," Bishop Jones said.
Bishop Desmond Tutu, denied a travel
visa by the Soutlrican government, was
unable to preacfF1t the memorial service
for Archbishop Janani Luwum, martyred
during the Amin years, so Bishop Jones was
given the privilege of preaching in Bishop
`Tutu's place.

Busy highways
The cars quickly whiz by, never stopping.
The car noise is so loud with horns beeping,
motor's running, mufflers falling off and big
trucks honking. The colors on the .cars look
splashed on as they go by. They look spotted
with white. The desperate girl tries to cross
while pedalling her bicycle, making a hum-
ming noise. Finally she crosses and the
humming fades away. -by Dolly Rockey Gr.
