"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 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.” Euchre held at WI Hall BELGRAVE — Eleven tables were in play at the weekly euchre held in the WI Hall last Wednesday. Winners were: high lady, Mrs. Wilford Caslick; novelty lady, Mrs. Lawrence. Taylor; low lady, Mrs. Herb Clayton; high man, Wilford Caslick; novelty man, Wil- liam Gow; and low man, John King.
