Charles Walkorn of
Tharnesview United Church,
Fullerton, charged last week at
the meeting of the Huron;Perth
U.C. Presbytery that a few
clergy who live in urban areas
of the province are giving the
impression that the in-
atitutional church is anti,
farmer. These remarks were ex-
pressed as Mr. Walkom presen-
ted a statement on the recent
boycott movements of Califor-
nia grapes and lettuce. He
asked that Huron-Perth
Presbytery, being in a rural
area, .protest such boycotting
by some Canadian Churches.
Failing that, he asked that at
least each member of
Presbytery, gather as much in-
formation as possible on the
issue and decide for himself
whether to join the boycott or
not.
Since this presentation was
near the end of the meeting, the
Presbytery decided to send a
copy of Mr. Walkom's
statement to all members and
have the matter more fully
discussed at the next meeting.
"What's Ahead For Rural
Ontario", was the theme of a
two day Symposium that Mrs.
Evelyn Demaray of Bluevale,
Henry Davey of Monkton, and
Rev. Bert Daynard of Staffs,
attended in October, They
reported that The Hon.
William Stewart, Minister of ,
Agriculture for Ontario, and
Dr. Pleva, of the Geography
Department of the University of
Western Ontario, attended this
event and gave excellent
presentations. They said that
Mr. Stewart challenged the
church by asking that it give
leadership and prepare people
for the new way of life facing
rural Ontario.
Rev. Daynard reported, that
Dr. Pleva was no less deman-
ding when he said that the
church needs to have a say in
land use, and in particular em-
phasize that the top priority is
for agriculture. The church's
role is made even more impor-
tant, noted Rev. Daynard, since
man is still both the problem
and the corrective devise to the
solution to the dwindling life
support resonrces',`,Dr. Pleva "
called for the church to study
what attracts people to rural
areas, and then try to preserve
those values.
In conclusion Rev. Daynard
noted that the United Church
of Canada has set up a Com-
mittee on agriculture and food.
The highlight of the meeting
was the visit of the president of
London Conference, Rev. Dr.
Allen Churchill, and his wife
Helen, of St. Andrews United
Church, Chatham. Dr. Chun-
chill, a former R.C.M.P. Of-
ficer, has been termed by the
United Church's national
magazine, the "Observer," as

With the winter season at
hand, the family spends more
time indoors, often turning to
television for entertainment,
But with an estimated 10,000
TV's catching fire each year,
your set could become a source
of danger if you fail to take a
few simple precautions,
All TV sets are supplied with
air vents, but these are often
defeated by placing the set too
close to a wall. Allow enough
room for the Set to breathe.
And, if yours is custom in-
stalled i n a
wall unit, you
may require a
small fan to
insure suffi-
cient air flow,
You should
never leave
the set on and unattended for
more 'than a minute or two. If
you plan to he away for more
than a day, be sure to unplug
the power and disconnect the
antenna,
If your set has an "instant
on" feature, it is wise to plug
it into a socket Controlled by
a wait switch, This allows you
to cut the flow Of power when
the set is not in use without
causing excessive wear to the
cord and plugs, And, this saves
energy, too,
If a fire should ever break
out, unplug the Set and call the
fire department et trace, Use a
dry chemical fire extinguisher
if you have one, but never at-
tempt to douse the flames with
water,
Following these few simple
stops, your TV watching can be
safe as well as enjoyable,

"the new look Of evangelism in
the church",
He spoke to delegates on the
theme, Where is the Church
going? Does it have a future?
Dr, Churchill assured members
that it does have, a future
because it is a place of new
birth, life and human warmth.
The power that the 'church
seeks is the basic gospel
message. He noted that in this
respect there is a new interest
today by other faiths in Jesus
Christ of Nazareth. Thus, he
told the clergy to 42 on with
your preaching, sha'Ff,in-person
Jesus, and point-people to him,
Your job is not to be successful,
but to be faithful."
