MR. ANO MRS. MURRA Y GERRIE of Wingham are
pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of their
daughter, Pamela Elizabeth, to David William Tiffin, son
of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Tiffin of Wingham. The wed-
ding will' take place at the Wingham United Church on
Saturday. May 12, at 3:30 p.m.8Snyder Studio Photo.
"We live in a broken,
hurting world," Joanne
Fairhart told almost- 300
ladies gathered at a Aym-
pdsium op women and
pornography' Monday night
at the .. Wilugham United
Church.
Ms. Fairhart, a freelance
journalist for the church's
monthly magazine, The
Observer, recently chaired a
church -sponsored working
group on pornography and
its findings shook her.
She described pornog-
raphy as material which rep-
resents or describes degrad- _
Mg, abusive or violent,be-
havior through sexual gati-
fication, thus endorsing or
recommending the behavior.
Ms. Fairhart said she grew
"frightened and concerned"
about pornography when she
saw pictures of nude women,
bound and gagged in simu-
lated (or real) rape and
mutilation scenes in several
common "men's" maga-
zines.
Magazine layouts are mild
compared to what can be
done on film, she added. She
described the time she spent
watching censor board out-
takes ( the portions of films
deemed unacceptable for
viewing) as "the worst 20
minutes of my life".
Goforth Auxiliary holds
its Easter thankoffering
The Easter Thankoffering
meeting of St. Andrew's
Goforth Auxiliary was held
last Tuesday evening at St.
Andrew's Presbyterian
Church, Wingham.
Mrs. Clarence Wood gave
the call to worship and an
Easter reading. Mrs. Ken
McKague welcomed 'the
ladies. In the centre of the
room stood a wooden cross,
the focal point of the service.
The cross, Mrs. McKague
said, is symbolic of the
forgiveness of sins through
the sacrifice of Jesus. While
Mrs. McKague narrated the
worship, Mrs. Wood placed
appropriate symbols of the
crucifixionand resurrection
at the cross.
Mrs. Ken Leitch and Mrs.
Leonard Philips read the
scriptures that told the
Easter story.
Interspersed throughout
the service was Easter
music provided by Mrs.
Murray, Gaunt, Mrs. Rudy
Bloemberg and Mrs. Paul
Mills, accompanied by Mrs.
Hugh Clugston and Mrs.
Mills on the piano. and
Kendra McKhgue on the
autoharp. Several old
favorites were sung as well
as some more modern
selections.
Mrs. McKauge then
presented an Easter
meditation entitled "Where
Is He?" She challenged the
ladies to ask themselves
where He is in their ex-
perience and they were to
consider if they had been in
the garden Easter morning,
where would •'they have
looked for Jesus? She also

asked where they should look
today and where they would
suggest others look. She said
she hoped that each one
would affirm that Christ is
here now, waiting for them
to seek Him in prayer for
their needs and problems.
Easter is the ultimate
Christian victory. Mrs.
McKague reminded the
ladies to keep in mind that
Calvary — the Earth's
blackest day — and Easter,
its brightest day, were only
three days apart. Mrs.
Leitch closed the service
with prayer.
Easter customs from
around the world were read.
Mrs. Leitch presented craft
ideas and Mrs. McKague led
in contests. The meeting was
turned over the to the
executive and Mrs.
Raymond Neill welcomed
°the visitors and -• gave a
blessing. Various business
matters were discussed and
Mrs. Robert Arbuckle . gave
the secretary's report. Mrs.
Mills informed the group of
the upcoming visit of the
Winnipeg .Hible College
Choir May 1'6. A social time
followed.
Congregations gather
for sunrise services
BELGRAVE — Calvin -
Brick and Knox United
Churches were tastefully
decorated to greet the large
congregations of worship-
pers on Easter Sunday
morning.
At the 7 a.m. sunrise serv- .
ice the Young People's group
conducted the entire service,
which included a dramatized
version of the events of the
first Easter Day. "The Third
Day", written and produced
by Rev. and Mrs. John Rob-
erts, was also the focus of the
regular services at both
churches.
Special music added to the
enjoyment of the worship in
the.services. At Calvin -Brick
the children sang, "The
Three Tall Trees", accom-
panied by Mrs Mary Coul-.
tcs.
The senior choir sang "The
Mighty Triumph'' and "The
Day of. Resurrection" at the
service at Knox United
Church, accompanied by
Mrs., Elizabeth Procter at
the organ. Also joining in the
accompaniment of . the
hymns at Belgrave was Mrs.
Doreen ,Roy.
Following the sunrise serv-
ice, about 80 people enjoyed
a hearty breakfast, served
by members of the'UCW.
large �rov�d
Sexual- activity in films is
not what Ms. Fairhart said
she finds unacceptable;
sexual violence is. What she
finds particularly gruesome
are simulated, or sometimes
real, torture scenes and
murders of .women on-
screen.
Ms. Fairhart said she
favors censorship of por-
nographic material because
it is a harmful product which
must be regulated. There are
laws against hate literature
which , demean racial
minorities, so why not
protect the rights of women
and children?
Some people claim there is
no proven connection be-
tween pornography and vio-
lence toward women, Ms.
Fairhart said. But she added
she doesn't need proof; she
knows it is harmful.
In several documented
case studies of men who are
known rapists, pornographic
material was found in their
possession, Ms. Fairhart
said.
And two months prior to
the infamous New Bedford
rape, one popular men's
magazine depicted a young
woman being gang -raped on
a pool table by four men.
"Pornography causes and
teaches men to be violent
toward women and chil-
dren. " a
Pornography will not
disappear simply by
changing the law, she said. It
is a billion dollar business
and it only will 'go un-
derground. An attitudinal
change in society's view of
pornography is needed and
Christian men and women
can help bring about that
change.
A panel discussion follow-
ed her presentation.
Seniors'
Day Centre News
By Rita Rice
There has been a program
change on the April calen-
dar. Last Wednesday, Peter
Chandler Of East Wawanosh
was to be our guest speaker
at the centre, but had to
cancel. Mr. Chandler's
presentation is postponed
until May 2 at 1:15 p.m.
Anyone in the community
who wishes to be enlightened
on violin construction is
welcome.
Connie Jamieson,
manager of the Jack Reavie
Vocational Centre in
Wingham, was guest
speaker last Tuesday. She
spoke on' the centre's
operation and its services
available to the community.
There will be no program
at the centre this Thursday
and the centre will be closed
Friday as well due to the
rummage sale.
The centre celebrated its
fifth year in operation last
week- since the first users
met at the centre April 17,
1979. The big celebration for
our fifth birthday will take
place June 21 at the annual
meeting.
The next scheduled foot
clinic is May 1 from 1 to 3
p.m. and May 9 at the same
hours. There also will be a
clinic May 17 from 10 a.m.
until noon.
Day centre patticipants
will be attending at least four
plays at the Blyth Summer
Festival this summer. There
may be room for some others
to go along, so keep watching
this column for an-
nouncements. •
We still are looking for a
volunteer driver from the
Brussels area. If interested,
please call the' centre at 357-
1440.' - o
We also would appreciate
any craft ideas for our craft
pr (gram since it is an
ongoing thing and we always
can use new ideas and
manpower to implement the
program.
Recently the day centre
became a member of the
Older Adult Centres'
Assocation of Ontario or
OACAO. The purpose of the
organization is to "affiliate
different Senior Citizens'
Centres in Ontario and to
increase the competence,
knowledge, skills and status
of personnel in Senior
Citizens' Centres". Because
we area centre in a rural
area with few similar cen-
tres nearby, it will„be a great
advantage to the centre, its
staff and volunteers, board
and users, to be affiliated
with the association.
An interesting article I
read recently on the aged by
American gerontologist 011ie'
Randall said: "The major
characteristic of older
people is that of being ex-
traordinarily individualistic.
Each person is in himself or
herself the sum of all his or
her days, of what they have
done with them and what
they have done to them.
They are totally different
from everyone of their
fellows, even from members
of their own family who may
have been exposed to the
very same influences and
events.”
