Reverend reflects on 75
• from page 1
supplyat various churches. His first wife died in 19.61°
Mr, Stewart met his first wife, the former
Catherine Maclean, in Knoz Presbyterian Church,
Goderich. Her father had been the minister at Blyth
Presbyterian-`Chtirch for'40`years before retiring to
Goderich. They were marded for 46 years and had
three children: Marjorie Hammond of Moorefield;
Dr. Ken Stewart of Kitchener; and Muriel Christner,
also of Kitchener.
Mr. Stewart was a widower for seven years and
recently marked 20 years -of marriage with his second
wife, the former Laura Mole Workman of Seaforth.
He likes to tell the story of how he met Laura.
He needed a pulpit gown and saw an ad in 'the
United Church Observer offering one for .sale. It had
belonged. to Laura's deceased husband, also a
minister.
"When I answered the ad, I got the girl thrown in
with the gown," he jokes.
Mr. Stewartattributes his longevity to Divine
providence, -moderate habits and inherited traits. His
father lived to be 80, his mother 92 and other an-
cestors 100 (although both. his brother and sister died
while teenagers).
During the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, he knew
many people who died but he never caught the
disease himself.
"I don't know. I guess maybe it's in your blood. You
build up an immunity to things," he supposes.
In 1947 he suffered an attack of angina heart
disease and was hospitalized for a month. Three
years ago he suffered a series of blackouts b"ut doc-
tors implanted a heart pacer and he has been fine
ever since. He drove a car until be was 98 and still
®®
plays the piano daily. He's a good typist and spends
time every day typing material for his autobiography
which now fills five scrapbooks. He has also com-
pleted a genealogy of his mother's family, the
Matheson, He- reads at least one newspaper a day,
often clipping articles of interest and is a keen
photographer. He and his wife travel extensively and
he rarely misses a Sunday service at Northside
United Church in Seaforth. He even accepts the odd
request to speak in public.
When asked how he can remember every one of the
charges where he ministered, he . says "You can't
really forget them after you've served them. Besides
1 have to keep my memory sharp for all you repor-
ters!"
Indeed I was the fifth reporter to interview him
° within' a few days, finding him to be both alert and
articulate. He was most interested in having his story
appear in the 'old hometown paper' for his friends
end relatives there and noted that it was quite
something that three Saltford boys had grown up to
enter the ministry, naming himself, Peter Walter and
Robert Bisset.
-Mr. Stewart has nine grandchildren and nine great-
grandchildren and he thinks there are more evils
facing young people today.
"There's that drug business and liquor business
and the young people have to have strong characters
to get through it," he says.
The records of the United Church of Canada show
nothing that equals Mr. Stewart's history of 77 years
service as a minister. Looking back on those years,
one must believethat, yes, his life was spared as a
young man for a very good purpose.

Bluewater Centre hosts
fourth education week -
Hundreds of professionals,
lay people, group home
leaders, health represen-
tatives, parents and
volunteers participated in
the fourth annual Education
Week at the Bluewater
Centre for the Develop-
mentally Handicapped last
week.
Education Week, which
began as an open house at
the centre five years ago,
has grown into an in-
formative and integral
learning and sharing ex-
perience for both the
professional and lay person
involved with mentally
retarded persons.
From its modest begin-
nings as an open house,
education week has grown
and becomea model Lear-
` rung experience in the in-
dustry. This year staff at the
Bluewater Centre was able
to secure the professional
services of psychologists,
social workers, professors of
mental retardation, a
geneticist, author Ronald
Hunt and a director of the
Ministry of Community and
Social Services.
Co-ordinator of volunteer
services at the centre, Pat
Wheeler, explained that

while concept grew out of the
open house, she believed the
programs offered during
education week were more
appropriate for the
education of staff, public
officials, parents and
volunteers.
Invitations were extended,
to all facilities in the area
including group homes,
hospital administrators,
boards of education, health
units, . parents and 'volun-
teers. The daily lectures
were attended by many
professionals from the
southwestern Ontario area
as well as Brockville and
Picton.
This year's rendition of
education week featured a
symposium day Wednesday
that addressed sensitive and
controversial issues. Dr.
Donald Zarfas spoke on
sterilization and Dr. Robert
Siem, of the University of
Waterloo, spoke on current
trends in dein-
stitutionalization. Dr. Nancy
Innis of the University of
Western Ontario addressed
the topics of ethics and
behaviour modification . and
Dr. H. C. Soften, director of
the Regional Medical
Genetics and Birth Defects
Service in London spoke on
the role of genetic research
in diagnosing causes of
mental retardation and
subsequent treatment and
preventative measures.
One of the more
stimulating sessions dealt
with the co-operative
education program between
the Oxford Regional Centre
and the board of education.
Under the strict terms of the
program, up to 25 Grade 12
students are gaining as
manyas three credits for
work at the Oxford Region
Centre in Woodstock.
The students spend four
afternoons a week at the
centre working with
residents and receive --240 _
hours instruction. The
students not only receive
school credits, but valuable
job and human relations
experience.
The program, while
relatively new in the field, is
one that staff at the
Bluewater Centre would like
to pursue. Bob McCall,
supervisor° of programs for
the Huron County Board of
Education, said he will
explore the possibility of
instituting such a program
here and while exploratory
meetings will be held,
cautioned that it will take at
least a year to initiate the
details.
A co-operative education
program has many merits
McCall said, but the Ministry
of Education requires a.
detailed proposal and
September 1983 is the
earliest implementation
date.
