Mr. McCiiiluirt has headed the award Winning magazine (monthl circulation .232,000) since 1980 when he was appointed td replace the late Dr. A. C. Forrest as sixth editor for the 160 -year-old monthly publication.

The pro- cess for naming his successor will be set in motion this fall. The Canadian magazine industry, including The Observer, is now facing heavy cost increases as a result of cutbacks in the traditional government' postal subsidy, and the upeomingj.frnt osition of the nation- al sales tax. ` s'a consequence, the United Church Observer Board established a task force which will mike recommendations on how to maintain this tradition of excel- lence, relevant faithfulness and lively church news in the '90s in a financially viable way. "Hugh's surprise resignation is al major loss to the church,' said Rev. Elizabeth Eberhart-Moffat, of Cam- brld,go, Ont., chairperson of The Observer board,..
