Presbytery expresses concern over report
Dear Editor:
Within Bruce Presbytery, Hamilton Con-
ference, The United Church of Canada, we
are a group of ministers with diverse
theological, spiritual and Biblical perspec-
tives. We'have brought these different ex-
pressions of faith together in our common
concern over the report: "Toward A Chris-
tian Understanding of Sexual Orientation
Lifestyles and Ministry". Through the uni-
ty, harmony and fellowship of the Spirit,
we wish it known that we stand together' in
opposition to the recommendations
presented from the National Divisions of
Ministry, Personnel and Education and
Mission in Canada, which are based upon
the report.
We believe that the report fails:
(a) to be based upon the Word of God, in
the report's desire to accommodate a
secular world;
(b) to support the sanctity of. Christian
family living; and
(c) to uphold God's intended order of crea-
tion within the realm of human
relationships.
Therefore, in seeking to strengthen and
encourage our Church in its continued sup-
port and compassionate care of all
peoples, we feel, individually and collec-
tively,
ollectively, compelled to pray, study and work
together as we seek to witness with integri-
ty, authority and faith in our opposition to
the report: "Toward A Christian
Understanding of Sexual Orientation
Lifestyle and Ministry"and the recom-
mendations
, based upon it.

Dear Editor:
On March 27, 1988, the Hon. Jake Epp
stated to the Board of Directors of the
Canadian Cancer Society at its 50th An-
niversary Dinner that he had spoken to his
Cabinet colleagues that week and received
the commitment that Bill C-51 (The Tobac-
co Products Control Act) would be passed
by the House of Commons before the sum=
mer recess.
Also, on March 15, 1988, the Hon. Doug
Lewis was quoted in the Toronto Star that.
Bill C-51 was one of the "Government's top
initiatives" for passage before June 30th.
The time is running out. The Govern-
ment is only a few days away from the
point where, logistically, it will be ex-
tremely difficult, if not impossible, to ob-
tain approval of the House Senate and
Royal Assent before the House prorogues
and the Bill dies.
TO
The Federal Government by its own
statements has acknowledged that tens,
and probably hundreds of thousands, of
preventable deaths hang in the balance
unless a significant intervention in the
tobacco epidemic takes place. Bill C-51 is
the Government's promised response. We
are simply insisting, for an entire genera-
tion of kids, that the Government act with
integrity and keep its promise.
Yours truly,
Ron Potter
President

Dear Editor:
This afternoon ( May 17) I had the
privilege of hearing the Lucknow Concert
Band at my son's school in Dundas,
Ontario.
Lucknow and the surrounding area can
certainly be very proud of this band and its
accomplishments.
The performance was excellent and
thoroughly enjoyed.
Sincerely,
Loraine Johnston,
Ancaster.
Dear Friend:
I write to bring you BIG news! Dungan-
non and District may expect a visit from a
direct descendant of the family who sent
their son to Canada all those years ago,
leading to the establishment of Dungannon
itself. He is Stephen Bogle, 14, Drumcoo
Green, Dungannon, Co Tyrone, N. Ireland,
yunget son of James Bogle, M.M. and Bar,
and Susan (Daisy) Bogle, nee Mallough.
Mrs. Bogle tells me that Stephen is
tremendously excited at the thought of
meeting you all. He flies out on June 4 and
expects to be with you in a week or so after
spending a few days in the Toronto area.
He plans a six week camping holiday
which will give him plenty of time to make
lots and lots of new friends. I can imagine
you will all be as kind to him as you were to
me. I have given him all the addresses I
have and there will be time, if anyone
wishes to do so, to get in touch with him
here before he leaves, either by post, or by
telephone - Dungannon 26896. Or, if you
wish, write to me and I will pass on any
messages.
I am particularly hopeful that the Cana-
dian Legion will make contact with
Stephen. His father was a great hero in the
'39 - '45 war and is mentioned in a book on
the Italian campaign. His mother is a
tireless=worker for our Branch of the Royal
British Legion as Secretary of our Legion
Club and is also Secretary of our Women's
Section of which I am President. You may
remember when you invited me to
Dungannon's birthday celebrations in
1980, I tried to arrange for Mrs. Bogle to at-
tend as I felt sure you would prefer a

Dear Editor:
I am currently reserching my family
history and am at a halt. My great great
grandfather was Alexander Cameron who
left Argyllshire, Scotland and came to
Lucknow area. He was at Lucknow in 1862.
His wife, Grace Anderson, was also from
Scotland. Their children (not in order)
were John, Angus, William, Alexander,
Kenneth and James who was my great
grandather.
Would anyone recognizing any of these
family members contact me. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Shelley Kellington

Dear Sir:
I am trying to trace my Scottish grand-
parents back to Scotland. I have the follow-
ing information: Grandfather: William
Bell; Grandmother: Charlotte
(McDonald) Bell; Daughter: Amelia Bell,
born 1875 in Lucknow.
There were seven other children born in
Canada, dates and places unknown to me.
They were,: George, William, Wilford,
Elizabeth, Frances, Maud and Ida.
My grandparents' family was with a
group of farmers who emigrated in 1879 by
train with machinery and livestock to
homestead in Cass County near Casselton,
North Dakota. My mother, Edith (Bell)
Ward, the last child, was born in North
Dakota in 1884.
My grandmother, Charlotte (McDonald)
Bell had two brothers and two sisters:
William, George, Elizabeth and Mary Ann
McDonald.
I have learned from the North Dakota
census that the McDonald and Bell
families came from Scotland. I am very in-
terested and eager to trace my ancestors
back to their old world origins.
Sincerely,
Mrs. W.A. Vince,
