Discuss Union At
Emmanuel Church
At the suggestion of the
congregation of Emmanuel
United Church, Zurich, a dif-
ferent type of sermon delivery
was tried last Sunday on a
theme of vital interest to all
members of the church: that of
church unity or uniformity?
The dialogue sermon was in
answer to a query during the
congregation's Every Family
Visitation this spring, "Could
the churches in Zurich ever
unite?
The participants in the dial-
ogue sermon, i-ierb Turkheim,
a layman from the Lutheran
church, a son of the parsonage
and editor of the Zurich Citiz-
ens News, in conversation with
the minister of Emmanuel Un-
ited Church, Rev. John Huether,
agreed that unity in Christ is
already a reality, but there
were some barriers to uniform-
atyThis could come by further
dialogue on the part of all
churches, co-operation in fields
of common ventures in church
groups and education. Some
service work could be under-
taken together.
Mr. Turkheim cited Week of
Prayer ventures, crusades, cent-
ennial pageant and band comp-
rised of members from different
denominations. One suggestion
might be a church music and
choir festival once a year, he
added. Mr. Turkheim also
mentioned how aoup in the
United States used Living
Room Dialogues" to get to know
each other better,
Rev. Huether cited that com-
mon theological studies had be -
un in Toronto this year and
had been going on in Montreal
and elsewhere for some time.
Time ran out in the service
preventing questions or partic-
ipation by the congregation,
but any were invited to remain
for discussion during a coffee
hour. A few took advantage
of this and the discussion was
very interesting and enlighten-
ing.

Describe Symptons
To Mechanics
When. Possible
It's just not good enough to
drive into most of Canada's
busy garages and ask for a gen-
eral car check. It's much better
to be able to describe the symp-
toms which will give the mech-
anic an indication 'of the mech-
anical diseases.
The Canada Safety Council
promotes a diagnosis of vehicle
ailments bymotorists themselves
during its ar Check campaign
and t aroughout the entire year.
Most of the diseases can be cured
only by qualified technicians.
It's most important to see and
be seen so motorists should check
their lighting systems, wind-shie
ld wipers and mirrors to see they
are working. correctly.
Too much play in steering
wheels and slack in brakes are
sure signs of steering and braking
system problems which can be
fatally dangerous. Another symp.
tom of brake trouble or defect-
ive alignment is constant pulling
of the car to the side when stop-
ping.
Noisy exhaust systems and
unusual odors should also alert
the driver to trouble. The ex-
haust system should be checked
for tightness and leaks to prev-
ent dangerous emissions of carb-
on monoxide, the odorless killer
The alert motorist pays cons-
iderable attention to his tires,
the vehicle's only contacts with
the road. Theyneed good treads
to give a goodgrip and their
tread depth should be at least
one -sixteenth of an inch.
Motorists can be alerted to
the most common tire disease,
improper inflation, by the
squeals of tires on curves or the
need for constant steering to
keep the car on the road.

The International Scene
(by Raymond Canon)
In a modern era we have a
rather novel manner of accord-
ing conferences, organizations
or positions, whose name is
made up of several words, a
title, whereby the first letter
of each word generally spells
something that is capable of
being pronounced. So it is with
NATO (North Atlantic Treaty
Organization) SAC (Strategic
Air Command) etc. Now we
have a new one on our hands
that we shall probably be hear-
ing about for quite a few months
to come. It is called SALT,
which stands for Strategic Arms
Limitation Talks, which could
prove to be one of the most
vital conferences of the decade,
if all goes according to plan,
This conference, the ground-
work of which was laid in Hel-
sinki, Finland, last year, is to
take place in Vienna, and, if
brought to a successful concl-
usion, will provide some cont-
rol of one of the most danger-
ous aspects of our lives during
the past 25 years - the control
of nuclear weapons which
could be used between nations
in any conflict, big or small.
It hardly seems possible that
it is 25 years since the Americ-
ans first dropped atomic bombs
on the Japanese cities of Nag-
asaki and Hiroshima. Although
it seemed like quite a spect-
acular event at the time, our
awe changed to something mix-
ed with horror as we saw pict-
ures of the tremendous amount
of death, mutilation and dest-
ruction which each of the bombs
caused.
As long as only the Americans
had the bomb, the situation
didn't seem very serious. Every
once in a while some loud-
mouthed politician or general.
in the United States would ad-
vocate using the bomb on Rus-
sia before tie Soviets developed
their own, but thankfully net
very many people took such
crackpots seriously.
However, ever since the Rus-
sians finally did produce a bomb
of their own, and then both
countries developed the sophist-
icated missies to deliver the
bomb, the whole world, includ-
ing Canada, has wondered
whether they would ever get
around to throwing these missies
at each other. The fear is not an
imaginary one, for both count-
ries have built up such an arsen-
al of atomic missies that now
the talk is not one of kill but of
overkill, which means that
each side has enough bombs to
kill the other's population sev-
eral times over.
It is no wonder that, sooner
or later, both sides would see
the necessity of controlling such
arms. The advent of satellites
has made it virtually imposs-
ible to keep the number of
rockets each side has a secret.
Each side is aware of the other's
massive strength, and so, as
the two nations prepare to sit
down at the conference table,
there has been all sorts of warn-
ings, threats, claims, accus-
ations and affirmations -enough
so that the whole thing reminds
one of two boys, each putting
up a big front to the other, and
unwilling to concede that he
has any weaknesses whatsoever.
Being as close as we are to
the United States, Canadians
should follow the progress of
these talks with a considerable
amount of interest.

we're sure out of practice
when it comes to
announcing a
RATE INCREASE
(the last one was 20 years ago)
We share your feelings about the constant spiraling
of cost that for years has been effecting just about
every commodity you can think of. (And that in.
eludes such things as power lines, transformers, and
a vast range of electrical equipment.) That's why,
short of performing the impossible, we have constant-
ly been striving to maintain a high level of service
without giving an inch to inflationary pressures.
We've more than held the line for twenty years. This
is due to the fact of our customers making better use
of electricity, by increasing over 100% the average
kilowatt hours used monthly per family, in the last
ten years.
So, although the tremendous rise in operating costs
and materials has at long Last forced an increase in
rates, it is good to know that with "Hydro ... all good
things do not have to come to an end. Electricity will
continue to be the biggest bargin in the household
budget. You will still be able to operate all your elec-
trical appliances, including the water heater, for less
than you would have paid over twenty years ago.
ENJOY LOTS OF LOW COST HOT WATER
Please note the introduction of a special block of 500
kilowatt hours at 0.9c per kilowatthour. This extreme-
ly attractive rate applies to all customers using a
metered water heater "Cascade" or other commis-
sion approved water heater.
