and General Hospital. The car seats are used by people with newborn babies, for a six
month period. The hospital requires a $25 deposit, with $15 dollars being returned when the
car seat is returned. The $10 goes towards replacing and repairing the car seats when they
need it. One of the car seats will be left with the ambulance department for transporting
infants. The Kinettes raised the money from catering, a bazaar, and the Zehrs save a tape
plan. Jim Hayter Chev-Olds helped the Kinettes get the seats at cost. Above, Elmer Taylor,
Administrator at the hospital, accepts the infant car seats from Karen Redmond, President
of the Kinettes, and Doreen McNeil ( left), car seat chairman. ( photo by Anne Narejko)

Reverend Ross tu gs is new Presbytery chairman
The Reverend Ross Ctunniln 8 of Mitchell
received a warm welcome to the chairman-
ship of Huron -Perth Presbytery last week!
The 'contentious issue of the United
Church's first remit since Union stirred the
court into debating procedures rather than
issues.
The Reverend John Anderson of Trinity,
Listowel, who declared his opposition to the
present discrepancies concerning children
and communion, expressed his displeasure
at -the time spent on procedure rather than
the issues,of the proposal.
The remit on Christian initiation, whereby
children by reason of baptism become full
members of the church, has been under
study for several years. A vote is to be taken
across Canada by November 15.

offered to re -write the memorial in a more
positive tone and present it to the court at a
laterdate.
A further remit concerning covenanting,
reducing ex -officio commissioners to
General Council and extending the interval
between Councils from two to three years,
was passed.
Restructure Presbytery
As a result of a concerned committee's
frustration with the proceedings of
Presbytery, the court concurred with

UNICEF
approved
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
On Hallowe'en UNICEF boxes may again
be carried by children attending separate
schools in Huron and Perth counties.
Last year, the Huron -Perth Separate
School Board supported and encouraged the
use of Mother Teresa boxes on Hallowe'en
instead of the UNICEF boxes.
Director of education William Eckert said
he will inform the principals' of the schools
that they are free to distribute whatever
kind of boxes they wish to have the children
collect money on Hallowe'en.
The change in the board's stand comes
after the board received a letter from
UNICEF Ontario. The letter addresses con-
cerns expressed in the past by the Huron -
Perth Separate School Board and other
boards. These concerns revolved around
UNICEF's supposed involvement with
family planning clinics and the distribution
of contraceptives in Third World countries.
"Three things have occurred in the Oast
year which we (UNICEF Ontario) feel
helped to clarify the issue," states the letter
which cites written support of UNICEF by
Pope John Paul II, and by the Ontario
Separate School Trustees' Association, and
the fact that UNICEF has limited its "co-
operative activities with other United
Nations (UN) agencies which have caused
concern in the past." "This should clear up
doubts we've had previously," said Strat-
ford trustee Ron Marcy.

Following up on another suggestion, new
lay and ministerial delegates were introduc-
ed to the court by the corresponding
delegate from the charge. The Reverend
Burton Crowe, Centralia, presented the
recommen , tions for the committee.
Missions Up
The Reverend Rae Grant of Wingham,
told the court that the national mission and
service fund is up over 9 percent from last
year at this time. The local Presbytery's
fund is up $108,000 despite the fact the UCW
total is 67 percent of last year.
A recommendation that a pastoral charge
not be declared vacant until after a visita-
tion has been made by the boundaries ad-
visory committee was accepted despite
some concern that the recommendation en-
compassed all churches.
The thrust of the recommendation was to
assess supporting households in a charge
with a view to strengthening its work and,
support base. It was aimed at charges with
under 150 supporting households. There are
21 such charges in Huron -Perth.
The report was sfibmitted by Past Chair-
man Rev. Norman Gibson of Central, Strat ,
ford. In answering the concern that the
recommendation affected all churches, the
Stratford cleric suggested that it would be
wise to review strengthening the witness of
all pastoral charges.
The court learned that 11 new ministers
had been inducted and one student introduc-
ed. The charges affected are Auburn,
Tavistock, Woodham, Stratford Centennial.
Bayfield, Hibbert, Milverton, Egmondville,
Grand Bend, Blyth, Atwood and Millbank.
The Reverend .rt Daynard of Staffa, y
reminded delegates that their property in-
ventory is to be updated and forwarded to
Presbytery this year.
Presbytery met in Brussels United Chur-
ch. The Reverend Bob Gibson of Stratford
Centennial and the Reverend John Wood of
Victoria Street, Goderich led in worship.
