And if you still haven'tbeard of Pam surely won't be tong fore he invades your house too. Lt's amazing how good some, people getat these games, and astounding how much time and energy they pat into them. Our lives should always have room for fun, especially fun that stret- ches us physically and men- tally. But it is said when you con- sider how much money, time and imagination we put into these `head games', when there are such pressing practical problems in our world that seem no nearer solution now than they were 100 years ago, aren't we rather unbalanced in the way we useour heads? Shouldn't the solving of prac- tical problems be getting our best mental energy? For example, how are we going to share our abun- dance with others in the OOOO world who are starving to death? How. can We get surplus food transferred from the tables of the af- fluent West to the starving families of the Third World? There's something to work on. Second problem: how to get people to make decisions that are in their own best long-term interest, especial- ly when a moral issue is in- volved. A choice between right and wrong. Daily we make decisions that are either going - to benefit or mess up our own lives and those of others for months and years to follow. Just filling a person with information will not ensure a healthy choice. Our teenagers have more infor- mation about sex than any generation before. Yet un- wanted pregnancies still happen and venereal disease is increasing. What would you do to get people to the point where they stop hur- ting themselves in the chores they are making? There's a problem to set your 14111404. Third problem: -how do you - provide a despairing person with a reason to go on living? - A young husband comes home and finds his wife has been unfaithful to him. What would you say to him to pro- vide a hope big enough for the tomorrows he's going to face? These three for instances' are only a sample of the ma- jor `puzzles' that confront men and women day by day. You can add to them other big ones: war, automation and computerization, over - government, urban over- crowding, two breadwinner families, alcoholism, stress. Our heads were meant to be used for such problems, not just as opponents for electroniogadgets. God gave us brains as part of our equipment for living. They alae sophisticated tooia to insist us In solving the pro- blems of a ,complicated world. In addition, God gives us the advantage of .His own thoughts. ut the library we call the Bible. There we find the necessary principles to use toapproach problem solving and decision eking. Principles such as loving your neighbour, keeping sex- ually pure, finding hope through a personal relation- ! 'ship with OW.As well as in- fonning os,of principles, the Bible introduces ug to Jesus Christ,.throughwhom+:all our probleircan find solutions. For it is in Christ's power that we learn to lave our ;neighbour, live good lives here and experience the forgiveness .,of sins that makes a better tomorrow. Apply your mind to the Bi- ble, make your:thoughts one with God's and then pray that He will reveal to you the r Practical steps to take to do your part in sowing Ates d !Pu es. It's no more dieing than playing 'head games'. Yet It can make- you a better per- soil. A better person who becomes a part .of making the world abetter place.

( staff photo) UCW hears about Java The February meeting of the Evening Unit of the North St. U.C.W. was held on Monday, February 28 with Lou Bundy's " group in charage. Lou Bundy opened the meeting at 8 p.m. with a reading concerning the dream of Eden. This was followed by the singing,- of a hymn entitled, Let All The Islands, which tied in with the. 1983 study of the South Pacific. Jean Hanly then led in prayer and Joan Hibbert read several scripture passages interspersed with reflections concerning Stewardship, Justice and Peacemaking. The workshop service , closed with the 'hymn, Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah. Marion Shaw was the pianist. Jean Hanly then in- troducted the guest speaker, Mrs. Margaret Robinson -of Clinton. Mrs. Robinson is an English teacher at Clinton high school, and recently took a year off to pursue fur- ther studies and spend four months teaching in In--, gram. Jack Smith and Mer- vyn Lobb read St. Patrick'. Day poems and Mr. and Mrs. Lobb sang duets. Mrs. Lobb spoke on its lush growth, there are the very rich and the very poor. Lack of any machinery means total family labour to produce crops such as tea, rice and tobacco. The beautiful' batiks, sold here are dyed by hand using a wax method. Throughout- her talk, Mrs. Robinson portrayed a friend- ly people who exhibited warmth and love to their visitor. No doubt her teaching abilities and her total integration into their life-style have left those Javanese villagers with a new respect for Canadians. Lois McGill, leader of the Evening Unit, conducted a short business meeting and then a socialhour followed. During this time, the ladies were able to examine the numerous souvenirs; which. included beautiful hand- madematerials, silver jewelry, tapestry work, etc., that Mrs! Robinson had brought back from her trip. Seniors hear about Ireland The Enterprising Seniors of Goderich Township met in the Community Hall on March 3. The President Everett, opened the meeting. The Smiths and the Lobbs were in, charge of thepro- donesia, through. the Cana- dian Crossroads .Interna- tional program. She spent most of the time in a , hill village on the Island of Java, a guestof a doctor and his wife. ° Mrs. Robinson commen- tated on a well-prepared slide presentation depicting life in that area of the South Pacific. Her pictures clearly illustrated a complete lack of any of the sanitary facilities Canadians take for granted. All sewage runs in open drains and ditches, and there is a lack of clean water, since any available water is used for many pur- poses. Intestinal parasites and insect bites are a con- stant problem on this Islan with a mean temperature of 32 degrees C. In a land of contrasts, with Ireland and her trip there last October showing a , number of slides. An invitation was accepted to attend the Bayfield Senior Citizen's meeting on March 15 at 8 p.m. It was planned to go to Schilbe's Sugar Bush on March 17,'tneeting well • before 2 p.m. at the Com- munity Hall. The lunch will be mostly pancakes and" syrup. Beds will stay ST. MARYS - The Ontario Ministry of Health has decided that the 35 nursing home beds currently at Smith Nursing Home must stay in St. Marys. The long-awaited decision which prohibits the sale of the bed licences to Hillside Nursing Home in Sebringville. The ministry's decision concerning the fate of the nursing home beds came after representations op- posing the sale of the bed licences to out of town in- terests were made by more than 2,000 citizens. Town council was also vigorously opposed to the transfer of the beds. Phyllis Street, owner of the Smith Nursing Home an— nounced last August her decision to' sell the licences. She said the move resulted from pressure from the health ministry to bring her nursing home up to current building standards required under the Nursing Homes Act.
