UCW holds conference
"The more our knowledge of space in-
creases, the greater we see God the creator
to be," said Rev. Dr. Agnes Groome in ad-
dressing the 24th Annual Meeting of the Lon-
don Conference United Church Women
(U.C.W.) held in Stratford, Apr. 14, 15.
Almost 400 women heard Dr. Groome, of
St. Andrew's United Church, Toronto, speak
on the conference theme, "You are Light for
the Whole World".
"God is also the God of concentrated
power, like the laser beam. He can cut
through our resistance to correct our fault."
If you have wondered how God can hear
your prayer when so many others are pray-
ing at the same time, Dr. Groome offered
this explanation: "Consider the modern
computer, a man-made invention, which is
capable of solving literally millions of pro-
blems in one second. God can do the same.
This helps us understand how He hears and
understands each of us."
The conference was sponsored by Huron -
Perth Presbyterial, with delegates in atten-
dance from Windsor and Sarnia to Strat-
ford, and as far north as Sault Ste. Marie.
Local United Church Women contributed
time and effort to make their guests
welcome.
Special worship presentations were. made
by the various presbyterials in the London
Conference as part of the program which in-
cluded an address from Rev. Masaoki
Hoshino, visiting in Canada for three years,
and a program from the St. Mary's
Children's Choir.

After second leiter,
taxpayer will get answer
Goderich council decided to respond after
receiving its second letter from taxpayer
Vern Smith asking for answers which will
justify council members' four per cent raise
for honorariums in 1986.
At its, Apr. 2 meeting-, council decided in a
5-4 recorded vote ,to receive and file Smith's
first letter to council questioning the raise
for honorariums.
However, Monday night, council decided
t� respond to Smith's second letter by in-
viting him to attend an meeting of the ad-
ministrative and personnel committee or
have the committee go to him if he is unable
to attend fol• health reasons.
Smith's second letter asked council why
his first had gone unanswered.
"I have received numerous calls from
other concerned citizens expressing amaze-
ment that no one can give an answer to the
reason why. They apparently cannot justify
the raise."
"The members knew when they ran for of-
fice what the salary was and' in the Labor,
movements of today, when you enter into a
contract at a rate of pay, you do not expect a
raise until the term of the contract is up," he
said in his letter.
Smith suggested that the end of a term on
council was the correct time for cowteillors
to give themselves raises. Since outgoing
