St. Boniface,hosts 150 for deanery
The ladies of St. Boniface
C.W.L. in Zurich hosted a
Deanery meeting at the
community centre on
Wednesday October 7. It in-
cluded a delicious meal serv-
ed at noon, to over 150
members answering the roll
call from all over the Strat-
ford deanery, coming from
as far as Windsor, Sarnia
and London. (it was a record
crowd) .
Welcoming everyone pre-
sent were, president of our
league: Coby Vanden
Boomen, diocesan director;
Fr. White and diocesan
president: Miss Rita
Ouellette.
Conveners gave talks on
their various jobs in the
C.W.L. then we broke up into
focus groups for discussion.
Two parishes were
presented scrolls for 60
years of service in the
league which were: St.
Patricks in Dublin and St.
Joseph's, Clinton. In the
absence of Fr. Mooney (our
pastor) Fr. Bensette from
the neighbouring parish, St.
Peter's. spoke briefly.
(there were seven priests
present from various
parishes).
A film in the afternoon en-
titled "I'll Find A Way"
about a little handicapped
girl - was very impressive
and leftus all thinking and
felling more handicapped
than she was.
Parish teaching conference
All parishes in the Diocese
of London are presently tak-
ing part in seven teaching
conferences (a training
program for the ministries
of the people of God) With
representatives from each
deanery. (our's being Strat-
ford) Others are, Ingersoll,
Windsor, Essex, Sarnia,
Kent and London.
Those on the team from
this area are, Esther Rau,
Exeter, Jerome Sweeney,
Zurich, and Father Loebach,

1984. Then 2001.
While some of you contend we are heading
towards a police state. I somehow feel that 2001 is
more preeminent in our collective futures.
CBC showed 2001; A Space Odyssey, Wednesday.
It is a classic film (which like all classics some
feel is just stupid).
But it contains a visison of the past and predictions
for the future.

watcher is a giant all-powerful computer, slowly going
crazy.
Much of our financial lives are now monitored by
computer, and many of us spend countless quarters
and hours of leisure time blasting electronic aliens on
computer moderated pinball.
But more shocking is suddenly realizing a com-
puter can now do something which was thought to be
impossible - for the computer.
When I first started reading about computers they
were basically number processing units.
They could do complex mathematics and repeated
operations much faster than a human being could.
One of the big problems was teaching a computer
to play chess. The game involves countless decisions
and weighing of alternatives. It is also very
mathematical, so it is a natural for couputers.
What was a problem 10 years ago is now a

held last Friday and Satur-
day in Tillsonburg with
theme being "Jesus, the Son

October 30-31 in Goderich.
Rest home auxiliary meets
Twenty five members of
the Rest Home auxiliary
met last Tuesday for their
October meeting following a
lovely program of music and
lunch under the committee
of Ann Watson, Blanche
Bechard, Beatrice
Corriveau and Margaret
McBride.
The president Martha
Ducharme welcomed
everyone. A very interesting
and detailed report was
given by Cecelia Farwell on
the recent convention she
attended in Toronto, on
Homes for the Aged. "The
Right to Live Right" and
enjoyed seeing the film,
"Aging is everyone's con-
cern". She reported that On-
tario has 168 homes for
eldery people.
The group bought some
new dresser scarfs for the
residents, and a motion was
made to order 121 Christmas
table centerpieces for the
dining room from the Zurich
Village Floral and Gift Shop
- to be ready for the fall
bazaar, on November 14.
Also to buy a light for the
organ and 2 high intensity
lamps for the craft room,
plus a cart for the dining
room.
Almost 100 at pro-life
Nearly 100 people attended
the Pro -Life meeting and pot
luck supper held at St.
Peter's parish hall, St.

came from all over Huron

When I visited the science center in Toronto just
after it opened (in about 1968) a display about the size
of a 12 -inch television could simulate the human voice
by electronics.
It said one word: Coffee. (Frightening too, is the
implication of this computer word. If computers even-
tually replace the civil service, the coffee break may
not be as passe as some would hope.)
In another dusty old science fiction film, The For -
bin Project. a group of scientists build a huge com-
puter. The computer, then being much smarter than
the scientists had expected, must design its own voice
circuits.
My wife's grandfather has been declared legally
blind. In order to cope with his new found problems, he
is making use of tape recorders and sound to replace
his reading.
A gift from his daughter was a talking alarm
clock.
With a press of a button a little voice announces
the time in hours and minutes. When the alarm goes of
the voice recites; "It is now 7:15 a.m.".
All this is squeezed into a little gold box (with a
traditional (9) quartz crystal time display) about one-
quarter the size of a cigarette package.
It won't be long.
When does processing of information become
thought?
Much of our thinking is recall from memory and
processing of information. What we concieve as
original thought is usually related to something that
went before.
So if we build a computer big enough and with
enough memory and enough capacity to refer back and
forth and weigh alternatives, at what point can it
think?
Beats me.
A computer is a useful and powerful tool. It can
save time and human effort; the machines are enter-
taining and do provide jobs for those building and ser-
vicing them, but I wouldn't want my life to be
dominated by one.
I spend the odd quarter to munch space invaders,
but it will never replace my real hobby and quite
frankly it appeals to me as nothing more than a novel-
ty.
A surprising novelty.
