BUS DRIVERS
Sometimes we think the
other fellow has ari easy job
and we seem to have so much
to do. We often look at the
school bus drivers and think
.they have it ,comparatively
easy but did we know that all
drivers have to attend a
modern driving course, In
Huron County these were
conducted in Wingham,
Exeter and Clinton and
several in this district at-
tended the eourse last
Wednesday and Thursday in
the education -a-dministration
offices in Clinton. It is
necessary to attend this in
order to get the school bus
licenses renewed. A school
bus driver has to have a
medical which' among other
things includes an eye
examination, a chest X-ray
and a complete check-up and
a written test and the driver
has to attend to this upon
notification.

Baha'i theme
unity in diversity
At its National Convention,
this year held in Saskatoon,
the 133 delegates elected by
individual Baha'is across the
Country considered how to
bring the central Baha'i
principle of -Unity in
Diversity" to the attention of
a greater number of
Canadians of all
backgrounds, and to better
understand it themselves,
Among the delegates were
two Huron County Baha'is
Jeannie Seddon and Nancy
Flynn of Goderich.
As it is for the rest of the
country, one of the most
urgent issues facing the
Baha'i community in the next
years is the future of Canada
in a period of growing
cultural and social coriflict.
Unlike many other groups
and interest, however, the
Baha'i community ,does, not
see the problem as one
primarily of political unity,
The Convention also elected
the National Spiritual
Assembly of the Baha'is of
Canada who administer the
affairs of the Canadian
Baha'i community. This
year's members are: Mr.
Douglas Martin, Mr. Husayn
Banani, Mr. Ed Muttart from
Toronto, Mr. Glen Eyford and
Mrs. Ruth Eyford from
Edmonton, Mr. Michael
Rochester and Mrs. Elizabeth
Rochester from St. John's,
Newfoundland, Mr. Hossein
Danesh from Ottawa and Mr.
Jamieson Bond from South
Mountain, Ontario.
The fundamental purpose
of the Baha'i Faith is to
establish the spiritual and
organic oneness of the human
race. But for Baha'is, unity is
not uniformity. They point out
that this is what minority
peoples all over the world so
adamantly resist: the
assimilation of their identity,
values and culture often
deeply rooted in cherished
spiYitual traditions, by
present-uay materialistic
civilization. For Baha'is
"Unity in Diversity" rests on
a belief in (Jod, which
recognizes the validity of
diverse religions, and implies
the acceptariEe and value of
all man's cultural traditions.
The single phenomenon, the
Baha'i Faith points out which
effectively blocks our ability
to see the ideal of "Unity in
Diversity" is prejudice. It lies
at the.root, not only of the
conflict between English and
French in Canada, but bet-
ween North American and
native, and indeed between
minority and majority
peoples everywhere on the
planet.
This year's National Baha'i
Convention in Saskatoon
occurs also at a turning -point
in the growth of the Baha'i
Faith in Canada. From its
inception, the Faith has
grown systemically and
rapidly throughout the world.
The Baha'i world community
is pleased to announce
