John Roberts of Belgrave on "Ventures in Mission", a major campaign launched in January to run until 1987. The aim of the church is to raise $40 million over and above present givings. A good portion of this would be used to beef up the pension fund for those who retired prior to 1955, with other amounts earmarked for,.new church development and for redevelopment in areas where this is indicated. Mr. Roberts shared insights from a paper he wrote in which he drew an interesting parallel between the "Great Collection" described in Corinthians II and Ventures in Mission.

Local talent; featured in CBC docu-drama Local audf nce8 will find special interest in a•` CBC docu-drama to be aired coast-to-coast this Sunday night. "Ready for Slaughter", which opens the CBC series For the Record, was filmed last summer on location at a farm near Lion's Head and deals with a predicament that comes close to many farmers these days: rising costs, falling prices and the threat of bankruptcy. Also, one of the principal actors in the program is home-grown. Patrick Cull, son pf Mr. and Mrs. George Cull of the Belgrave area, plays 12 -year-old Jordy in a cast which includes well- known Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent. Patrick, a product of the Blyth Festival Theatre Children's Workship, was one of more than 40 young- sters to audition for the part. According to Doug Barnes of CBC casting, he was chosen for several qualities, in- cluding a dry , sense of humor, an ability to grasp the dramatic situation• and a knowledge of rural life. ' Asked what he liked most about his acting adventure, Patrick said it was really interesting going to Toronto for the audition. He par- ticularly enjoyed working with well-known actors like Gordon Pinsent, Dianna Bel- shaw, Layne Coleman, Booth Savage and Mayor Moore. He added it was fantastic to be well-paid for doing something he really enjoys. The opportunity to take part in this TV drama came as a direct result of Patrick's involvement in the Chil- dren's Workshop, a sum- mer program offered by the Blyth Festival. Because of his experience there, he was one of the boys recommended by Janet Amos, artistic director at Blyth, to try out for the part. Miss Amos added that she is very excited about the upcoming Children's Work- shop this summer. Plans include a three-week pro- gram for younger children, a new one-week puppet workshop and an expansion of the program for older students. She hopes to find a director who will assist the students in writing and directing their own plays, and a second person to help the children interested in being more involved in set design, construction and the tech- nical side of drama. production. "Ready for Slaughter" will be seen this Sunday at 9 p.m. on CBC. y HOME-GROWN ACTOR Patrick Cull, a Belgrave-area youth, will be playing alongside Gordon Pinsent in "Ready for Slaughter", a docu-drama on farm bank- ruptcy which will open the series For the Record this weekend on the CBC television network, The program, filmed last summer on location at a farm near Lion's Head, will be aired Sunday, March 6, starting at 9 p.m. INSURANCE ji> Zvi% Y/irr'J' % %/���i'•//� ' �•r ji %.
