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.

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.

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 On instruction of the Presbytery ex- recommendations for the balance of the cur- ecutive, the Division of Mission in Canada rent year. had been asked to bring in a memorial to Presbytery itself will meet from 7:30 to 10 General Council to continue the study so p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of November, that the meaning of adult membership may February, April and June. Divisions with be addressed and clarified. 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. Shop and Compare on your next furniture purchase Compare price, selec- tion and service.

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. STEPPIN' OUT FOR FALL... SPECIAL... THIS WEEK ONLY!
