their training in Ontario
Mrs. Joanne McGary said
they were grateful for
donations and hospital
supplies that they carried by
Air with them.
They wished for this new
experience and learned
much in Spiritual sense and
for themselves.
Population is over 100,000
and growing as the birth
rate is high. Much un
employment is experienced.
Revenue is from bananas,
coconuts and arrowroot
flour.
Canada has sent money
for building a high school,
air strip, etc.
They have a hospital and
train nurses. Diseases are
numerous. Forty percent of
children suffer from high
blood pressure. Research
work is being done on this
issue.
Dr. P. McGary said the
island is mountainous and is
the 2nd poorest island.
Ninety-five percent of the
people are black. Housing is
mostly used for sleeping.
Shacks are used for baking
and they smoke most foods
to preserve them. There is
poor sanitation and hygiene
which causes infectious dis
eases. There is just a hand
ful of drugs to treat patients.
Laundry is done in a stream
then laid on rocks to dry.
Only a few tourists. The
people were friendly
towards them. “Language
mostly English but dialect a
bit difficult to understand.
Churches are there but
teaching is difficult. Five
percent reach high school.
Their English exams are
marked in England and 70
percent of the people work
for the Government. It was
under British Government
but could be independent
now.
Dr. Katharine Hockin
retired deaconess who has
studied in England, Europe
and has visited many coun
tries, author of several
books and a member of
National Division of World
Outreach and writes for
Mandate was the afternoon
speaker.
She stressed “Human
Rights for Men. Women and
Children’’. How we did mis-
sion work a number of years
ago is changing. Work of
U.C.W. and mission was
generosity, biggest factor in
partnership around the
world with churches. The
Systematic change is puzzl
ing.
Christians in faithfulness
living good lives dependent
on peoples around the world
and see us related to it.
There is concern about the
new structure.
Everyone has the right to
seek and enjoy. We are born
free and should act towards
one another under human
rights. Stress on the in
dividual something we don’t
achieve and what for.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
Worlds each speak in
different ways and setting
up different concerns and
freedoms.
The rich part of the world
gets richer and the poor gets
poorer because of inflation.
As Christians for
ourselves we must think of
the balance that goes with it
and not denial of human
rights. There is the level of
the Spirit to live and to
worship.
We think of the Indians,
World Development,
Political area in which
Amnesty is reliable and
respected, focusing on the
individual, Year of the
Child, economic growth, and
Inter-Church relations. We
are related to people of
different countries as they
want to trade with us.
It is a new challenge to the
Mission of the Church. A
thoughtful worship period
was led by East Perth
Region. A duet was sung by
Mrs. Jean Eaton and Mrs.
Marilyn Kreuger accom
panied by Mrs. Eckert.
