Duman rights anniversary By Helen Owen This week, December 10, marks the 37th anniversary of the United Nations Declara- tion of Human Rights. This document em- bodies model philosophies as well as in- spiration for the implementation of the legislation of human rights throughout the world. Concern for the rights of an individual has been slow to evolve. Primitive man, struggl- ing to survive against natural elements, climate, savage beasts as well as finding shelter and food sought only to exist. But over the centuries and with the development of Christian doctrines an awareness of the individual needs in the community has gradually emerged. As civilization has pro- duced laws, traditions, and responsibilities these have been translated into action in safeguarding the weak, succouring the needy and the provision of material assistance in order to ensure a lifestyle for the less fortunate and an opportunity for concerns to be voiced and acted upon. Western society has addressed these mat- ters and the communications media has leapt across the boundaries to reveal the in- justices and inhumanities which exist. The human family is exposed in all corners of the world where so often dignity and equal and inalienable rights are totally ignored. Corruption, exploitation, political expedien- cy which results in death and devastation are current news items with which we are confronted daily and for many there are no 'rights', just terror and despair. Public awareness of injustice, brutal practices and ruthless extermination of in- nocent people has projected world criticism of such acts and although often only in a small way, helped to alleviate the suffering. Individuals too, have played a part, sometimes that of martyrs, in their endeavours to resolve problems on the spot. • M a country, Canada has advocated the principles enshrined in the Declaration and in the Province of Ontario human rights commissions 'and legislation attempt to safeguard a quality of life. It is a step in the right direction, but society as a whole has an important role to play. The recognition of the right of the individual also means that the individual has responsibilities. .The assertion of one's own rights does not mean abuse of the privilege, nor does it mean re- jection of the rights of others. The freedoms generated by a concerned society, by con- trast, demand the disciplines of respect for one's neighbour and the good of the com- munity. Equal opportunity requires equal contributions. olick OIJNTONNENVSILECOP WEDNESDAY,IDECEMBEH 11,115—Page 11 GI'FTS AND FIANJIC AFTS Rntteubnry Street, Loot.

December 15 will bring us to the third in Advent, and the Anglican Church will be having its annual Christmas Children's " concert; with the youngsters performing a play and songs. Santa Claus is sure to be there at some point and the Trinity Ladies Guild will be serving a light lunch ,to both children and adults. Church service commences at 9:45 a.m. and the children's party following wor- ship. St. Andrew's choir, has been providing a candlelight choral service for many years now. This year it will be on December Plat 7:30. It is indeed a joyous occasion, the choir. has been practising carols for .sometime now, under the direction of Mrs. Cox, While all of us are concerned about peace in the land, especially at the celebration of the birth of the "Prince of Peace", the Anglican Church of Canada is urging parents and friends to remember, when buying gifts for children, that "Toys are for fun." Agressiveness starts very early in life and the toys a child receives really are teaching instruments so.why provide them with "war toys." The Church has brought out an excellent brochure on the subject. It is available at the church and also at the library.
