Pork chop barbecue a success
By Mary Chessell
VARNA -. The Varna' Church pork chop
barbecue was held this year in the air-
conditioned comfort of the new Stanley
Township complex west of Varna.
The shed where the supper;,bas • always
been, held wouldhave been uncomfortable
hot, but the cool atmosphere of the new hall
contributed to one problem - some guests
were so comfortable, they forgot that people
have to be served and seated rather quickly
in .order to accommodate 1,300, including
the little children, in a time space of three
hours. Unfortunately, many people stood. in
line for up to an hour. Hopefully by next
year there will be picnic tables on the lawn
to add seating capacity.
The committee of stewards and their
wives are to be commended on the well -
organized and smooth running of the event
in this first year in a different location.
We were honored to have Father
Abraham of India, who is visiting Jane
Davidson, among our guests. He grew up in
Cape Breton and Halifax and was educated
at Ignatius College in Guelph and Regis Col-
lege in Toronto. In 1948 he went to India and
started a school in an old hunting lodge
which became inadequate. In 1962 he toured
Canada in an old Volkswagen and persuad-
ed 1,200 families to give up dessert on Fri-
day night and contribute the money saved
for a new school. It was begun with this'
money, but required the help of the staff and
children who worked for one hour each day
to build it. They quickly realized the benefits
of a work program, and extended to food
production units. They are now building a
second unit of five they have planned for.
Father Abraham's school is outside of the
town of Kurseong in the state of West
Bengal, in a sensitive area almost surround-
ed by Nepal, Bangladesh, Butan and Tibet
(now in Red China ).

members of the library board inspected a
room in the new complex for suitability as a

see if the demand would justify the expense.

"We need a team of committed workers to'
get together and co-operate as a group to
prove the issues of the New Democratic
Party and stimulate people to look at the
issues," Bolton says. "I'm really excited
about talking about the NDP policies; turn-
ing the economy around and helping rural
areas."
Even though a federal election is not of-
ficially announced, Bolton does not feel that
sheds jumping the gun.
"It is important to get started now so peo-
ple can think about the issues," she ex-
plains. "A campaign is more than the 50
days."
Although recent opinion polls have shown
a decline in the New Democratic Party sup-
port, Bolton remains optimistic.
"I don't think too much about opinion.
polls," she says. "The NDP will not be
wiped off of the map like some people
predict. We need the NDP, rather than just
personalities, now more than ever."
