been able to provide a variety
of selections with five wind
instruments, drums, electric
organ and a soloist.
Eight tables of euchre and
crokinole were played at the
games on Wednesday afternoon.
"Family Night" was held in
the auditorium this week with
Albert Craig of Bayfield and
Becky Howes, of Clinton sharing
the program. Each of the enter-
tainers provided their own
accompaniment with Albert
Craig playing the guitar and
singing several familiar tunes
and requests. Becky Howes with
her accordian led a sing -a -long
of cld favourites dividing them
in groups to suit everyone's
fancy such as Scottish, Irish and
war songs. Following the enter-
tainment a new resident was
welcomed to the "Home, " Mr.

Plans are being made to start
our fourth year of programs and
we would appreciate a call from

Never under -estimate the
power of the press. That's an
oft -quoted saying in newspaper
circles, generally with tongue-
in-cheek. But every once in a
long while the truth of that
statement is pounded home in
a most dramatic way, and it
happened again this week when
a huge brown envelope reached
by desk marked The United
Church of Canada, Division of
Communication.
You guessed it. It was a letter
in connection with a column I
wrote not long ago quoting
from the United Church Observer
and discussing the trend toward
"shacking up, "---or for you whc
don't know the lingo, living
together without benefit of
clergy.
I suppose that has been the
most controversial ctloumn I've
written for sometime. It has
sparked the greatest amount of
comment I've heard in a long
time about From My Window,
and much to my surprise, a goon
deal of it was most favorable.
The letter on my desk today
was from Norman K. Vale,
Director of News Services for
the United Church of Canada.

BY SHIRLEY J. KELLEF,
He writes that while the news
release to which I referred was
written by him, it had failed
to mentioned the fact that the
Observer Editor, Rev. A.C.
Forrest, had made editorial com
merit in the same issue disagree-
ing with the author, Barrie
Zwicker.
Enclosed in the envelope was
a copy of the July Observer,
the second such magazine to
come into my possession since
the column hit the street. The
first one came from an acquaint-
ance who apparently reads The
Window faithfully, With both
copies came the gentle admon-
ishment "in fairness to Dr.
Forrest."
And now, turning our attent-
ion to Dr. Forrest's editorial we
read; "This move to co -habiting
without marriage, which is app-
arently increasing in our society,
is by no means new. There are
many places in the world today
where the chief or obvious diff-
erence between a Christian and
non-Christian home is that the
parents are married, and that
husband and wife have assumed
a life-long responsibility to
each other and to their children.
Dr. Forrest continues: "One
thing that seems to be over-
looked in all this discussion is
the tremendous, almost overpow
ering influence of many in our
society who live in open immor-
ality and seem almost evangel-
ical in their desire to impose
their life-styles upon others.
While we respect the apparent
honesty among the young people
in their relationships, they
should be aware that in some of
their attitudes, they simply
reflect the insecurity of our
chaotic society. Because mother
and dad did not measure up to
what they preached or now hope
for their children, is no valid
reason for their children to
choose lower standards."
Dr. Forrest concludes: "Amore
the many foundations for healthy
human relationships are contin-
ence outside marriage and fide-
lity within a relationship that
involves a lifetime commit-
ment. The erosion of these
foundations are, we believe, a
threat to all that is good in our
society. We fear they are being
eroded fast."
Amen. And again I say Amen,
Not long ago, I had a rather
long and somewhat heated dis-
cussion with a minister ( I hesit-
ate to say from what faith) over
this same question. This man
gave me every argument in the
book for young people setting up
housekeeping together without
being married first. They were
all the same arguments I've
heard over and over from the
young people with whom I've
come in contact over the years.
Just when I thought this min-
ister had taken leave of his
senses --Just when I was about
ready to scream with frustration
at the blatant way in which he
was twisting God's Holy Word --
he made a statement which is

Set season for
black bear
The 1973-74 season for black
bear in Ontario was announced
recently by Hon. Leo Bernier,
minister of natural resources.
The fall season has been set for
September 15 to November 30,
1973 while the spring season
will extend from April 15 to June
15, 1974.
so much akin to Dr. Forrest's
editorial comment that I'm
amazed..
My minister friend said, "If
a young couple comes to me to
be married I tell them I'm not
in the business of marrying
people. I tell them if they
want to set up a Christian home,
I can help them... otherwise I'm
no miracle worker."
I guess that's just about what
it boils down to then... a quest-
ion of whether or not young
couples (or older couples) want
to set up a Christian home built
on Christian principles. If
youngsters get married just to
live together, to sleep together,
to eat together, to spend their
time together, there's no real
need to be married. But a Chris-
tian home is another matter...
another matter indeed.
