The couple admits that some people think
they're crazy to go traipsing off, and others
might be a little envious but on the whole
"it's not really a big deal." Both schools
involved will probably see the exchange
teachers as "just another guy on staff, a
new teacher."
Exchanges must be approved by the
school principal, the board and the
ministry. He'll be paid his Huron County
salary but is responsible for his own travel
costs. His English replacement gets a round
trip ticket supplied and a small supplement
on his UK salary. "Which he'll need, living
here," says John. John applied last fall, to
be finally approved and matched with the

up and to act as world
peacemaker, the church's
committee on Church and
international Affairs says in a
report to be presented to the
Church's General Council
meeting in Montreal Aug. 9 -
i5. ..
If Canada does take on the
roleoffworld peacemaker, the
committee says, it would
have to change some of its
"corporate behaviour" as a
nation which "makes us in
fact a powder monkey in the
world. "
The Committee says that
reconciliation between peo-
ples and nations can only
come about if the world's
nations recognize that it is no
longer just our moral surviv-
al, but our physical survival,
that depends on a halt to the
arms race.
While the rich and the poor
may be in different boats
from a point of view of
development, the threat of a
nuclear catastrophe puts
everyone in the same boat,
the Committee says.
At the same time, the
Committee cautions that the
world's nations need to re-
cognize that underlying so-
cial, political, and economic
injustices must be eliminated

The Committee recom-
mends that the United
Church 'wholeheartedly' en-

campaign of Project Plough-
shares and that the Church
increase its financial support

The Church should also
appoint a church advocate for
peace and disarmament pro-
moting peace and disarma-
ment through Canada, the
Committee adds.
The Committee will also
recommend to the Canadian
,government the need for a
