and signed requesting David Peterson to
accept provincial responsibility for deci-
sions regarding Sunday store openings,

present limits.
Wesley -Willis United Church, welcomed
the 249 delegates from the two counties.
The report from Doris Miller of the World
Outreach Committee showed that con-
tributions had purchased 900 pounds of
vegetable seeds worth $10,000 for distribu-
tion in Africa - to refugees from Angola,
and to the Church -in -the -Bush. A small
balance was sold at reasonable prices to
local farmers. One black -skinned onion
variety is known as "Black Gold" because
the harvest from $1.50 worth of seed will
pay a child's school costs for a full year!

was offered to Optimism Place; Stratford,
and House of Friendship in Goderich; to
nursing homes and shut-ins, Meals on
