Sip* Copies, 10' • CeE's Brotherhood MeanstoBreak Down Walls From earliest days men have been erecting walls about them- selves, Dr. George W. Goth told' nearly 100 representatives of district organizations. The oc- casion_ was a Brotherhood Week gathering in the Community Centre Thursday evening. "Man is conceited. He is convinced his own interpreta- tion is theonly right one," he said, and added that the suspi- cions of tribes eyeing other tribes across a river have grown today to a point where nations suggestsuspicions of other na- tions across the world. Break Down Walls He use as an example in Canada Where a wall of race is hindering brotherhood, the friction between Frenc�r.-- and English-speaking Canadians. Re- ferring to the Canadian Coun- cit• of Christians and Jews, "Where are the Arabs?" he ask- ed. Dr. Goth considered religion as another field where there is lots of room for brotherhood. "There is no such thing as God's chosen people," he de- clared. "I do not believe that Christians have the only road that leads to God." Anglo-Saxons are most bigot- ed. "We think we have .a mon- opoly on God," Dr. Goth said, and pointed out this conception was wrong. God doesn't play favorites. There are 247 dif- ferent religious denominations and the interpretation which each places on his religion, sug- gesting that his is the correct one, is a "lot of nonsense." Paying tribute to Pope John, Dr. Goth, who is minister of Metropolitan United Church, London, said he, is "promoting the idea of brotherhood if any one ever did," He knows love is the only way to tear down prejudice and penetrate the walls around us. We are very offensive when the walls of race are concern- ed. There must be room in fel- lowship for any,• man qualified to belong, Dr. Goth warned, and added, we 'must learn to com- municate. W,e must talk co- existence. While there were glaring ex- amples of man's inability to break down the walls of pre- judice, race and class through- out the world today, Dr. Goth was not pessimistic about the future. "We are `making• pro- gress," he said, and told of gains made in the United States, in India and in China. He urged his audience not to be concerned about the critics. "Go ahead and do what you think is right, and decent, and Canadian." WINNERS AT --A MIXED BONSPIEL at the Seaforth Curling Club Saturday carry on a dis- cussion of the games at lunch.

Must Have Courage Dr. Goth felt there is more tolerance in society today than there has been. "We've still a long way to go," he said, "but at least we're on the way." The break -through will not just happen. It can come to pass, however, if we each have the courage to do what our Gospel tells us to believe. We must share with our fellow men. Brotherhood means "you and somebody you don't like." "Think of him as a human being, as a person who merits your respect. Only . in this way can we achieve any kind of brotherhood," Dr. Goth advised. The gathering was sponsored by the Father Stephen Eckert Council of the Knights of Columbus. F. C. J. Sills was chairman - in' the absence of John L.

Sit New Rules At least 80 Seaforth • electri- cal users,could be affected by a new . residenfial wiring regula- tion designed to standardize and improve electrical service en- trance equipment across the province which has been an- nounced by Ontario Hydro, These are consumers who con- tinue to use 30 amp services, according to PUC Manager R. J. Boussey. Mr. Boussey said 'a number of the low capacity services were being changed each year. About d5 services were increas- ed to 60 amperes or 100 amperes last year. The new regulation, effective July 1, requires service en- trance equipment to have a minimum current -carrying ca- pacity of 100 amperes and a 20 -position branch circuit pan- el capable of accommodating four 120-240 volt circuits. These double circuits are required for the increasing use of heavy duty. appliances such as ranges, water heaters, dryers, supple- mentary heaters, and air con- ditioners.

Seaforth Julveniles were oust- ed by Clinton"Wednesday night in overtime by a 7-6 count. for Hydro Services possible to increase a service to 60 amperes to provide for only one appliance. The regulation was adopted on the recommendation of the Ontario Municipal Electric As- sociation representing over 350 local utility commissions. It conforms with the -standards re- commended by the Electrical Bureau of Canada and follows the trend established by many utilities • in North America, Applied across the province it will greatly ,reduce the wide variety of local regulations now in force, and affect all: resider tial customers served by On- tario Hydro and municipal elec- tric utilities. In addition, eight non -Hydro utilities have agreed to adopt the new standards. The 100 -ampere residential service is now enforced by local yregula-, tion in 85 municipalities, serv- ing over 50 per cent of the residential customers in the proyince. Many of these muni- cipalities have had these regu- lations for several years. • The new regulation permits a more uniform administration and will specify • the branch circuit re- quirements. Existing homes will be affect- ed only if the service entrance equipment is being replaced. Summer cottages and homes having less than 800 square feet of floor space are exempted from the regulation. Electrical service entrance equipment includes the en- trance conductors, meter base main switch, and the fuse or breaker panel. This equipment regulates the amount of elec- tricity which is available in the home. "The new standards were necessary," Ontario Hy dr o Chairman, W. Ross Strike said, "to keep pace with the increas- ing use of electricity. "Average use of electricity in Ontario homes ,has increased 52 per cent over the paid 10 years," Mr. Strike continued, "and even greater growth is anticipated during the next de- cade. The new regulation will ensure a standard of residen- tlal wiring capacity for serving modern electrical appliances and will take care of additions in the foreseeable future. .- "With the 100 -ampere , serv- ice, home owners will kno long- er need to make costly addi- tions to wiring systems when major appliances are added. The cost of installing a 100 - ampere service and adequate circuit capacity when the house is new is much less than add- ing it later. "While it is desirable that as many homes as possible adopt the new standards," Mr. Strike said, ".there is no inten- tion of requiring the home, owner to replace existing serv- ice entrance equipment. "There are many homes in the province," he said, "which are presently served by service entrances and distribution pan- els that have become totally in- adequate for today's modern electrical needs. Too many cus tomers are unable to obtain ef- ficient service for their appli- ances because of substandard entrance facilities. When these services are replaced, the new regulation will apply," Ask Pupils To• Use Slippers To Save Floors Own Program Seaforth Lions provided their. own program Monday evening when a number of members spoke on selected subjects.
