"Church women need to give up teas and quilting and contribute to the moral fabric of this country.". Speaking at the 1984 Ontario Conference for Women of the United Church of Canada, she urged the 375 delegates to become in- volved in the issues facing their communities. She said women need to speak up and challenge political can- didates on where they stand with regard to federal cut- backs on housing for seniors and low-income people. "It's not enough to stuff envelopes and lick stamps." Women need to become involved with the problems created by unemployment and work toward resolving them, she added, and she told the group that while an individual can do a lot, "it's group effort that really works best. On the municipal level, fill your council chambers to get your point across. Politicians pay at- tention to numbers." She said women can gain political experience by join- ing ratepayers' associations, serving on boards or munici- pal committees and attend- ing council and committee meetings. "Learn your way around. Find out what makes your municipality tick. There is an unlimited challenge before us." In another address at the meeting, Lois Wilson, a former moderator of the United Church of Canada Amelia Brown to celebrate 100th BELGRAVE Mrs. Amelia Brown, a resident at Brookhaven Nursing Home until March 12, when she suf- fered a stroke .and was ad- mitted to the Wingham and District Hospital, is cele- brating her 100th birthday on June 14. She has enjoyed fairly good health up to the last three years. Mrs. Brown was born June 14, 1884, on a farm on the 14th concession .of Grey Town- ship. Her maiden name was Amelia Whitfield, eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Teasdale Whitfield. Two sisters and one brother are deceased. She stayed on her parents' farm until she married Angus Brown of Listowel. They resided on the 4th con- cession of Grey Township and later moved back to the Teasdale Whitfield farm, where they farmed until moving to Brussels. In 1952 Mr. Brown passed away; their only son, Clif- ford, passed away in 1954. Mrs.;Brown's earlier years were very active in church and Institute work; she was always ready to help others in trouble. Following her husband's death, she lived with her only daughter Ruth and son-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Bert John- ston for several years. Mrs. Brown has one granddaughter, Mrs. Mari- lyn Thompson of Goderich, and two great-grandsons, Douglas Thompson of Toronto and Danny Thomp- son of Goderich. and wet :seven pceldenits of the World Council ' of Churches, told the women it. es normpow break ethroughua opppr er .siveto systems..• "Fifty per cent of scien- tific research is for war, not peace," she told the gathering, speaking on the conference theme, "The Promise of Power". "Power is so frequently defined as control, authority, domination and subjugation. Christian faith, in contrast, sees power as enabling others, setting them free from oppression wherever it occurs." She added that power problems have global dimensions, illustrating this by explaining the "real" cost of a Barbie doll. These are made in the Philippines in one of the export processing zones set aside by the Marcos government for companies like Mattel, Ford or Del Monte. play mmunity haborers often work 16 - hour shifts, for which they are paid the equivalent( of $1.50 per day. Mothers are not allowed time off to care for their children and unions are illegal. "The answer is not as simple as stopping trade," Mrs. Wilson said, "but we can be aware of the issues." She said the Third World is not just a place, but a situation in life in which peoplehave no power in their society, and we need to aware of pr,�1I'emf`in nth countries bei _cense of o r global interde�peendence. Shedeplored the developments in\ South African apartheid, with black African being resettled in various so-called tribal homelands, not unlike Canadian Native Reserves, where the land set aside for them is too poor for productive farming. Bishop Desmond Tutu is an out- standing African and world churchman, she noted, but like other black South Africans he has no vote,..ani she said many feel a nod violent solution to tbee'e injustices is no longer ` an., option. She suggested that among ; the ways Canadians could show solidarity with black, South Africans could be boycotting South African wines and canned or fresh fruit, discouraging the purchase of Krugerrands and even recycling diamond rings, glutting the market and undermining the South frican diamond en- te rises. e least we can do is be informed," she concluded. Those attending the conference included Mrs. Stewart Leedham and Mrs. William Coultes from the Wingham area, Mrs. Ken Alton and Mrs. D. A. Hackett from the Lucknow area and Mrs. Carl Graber from Lucknow. CONFIRMED AT ST. PAUL'S—A service of confirmation and first communion was' held Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Wingham, for Robbie and lan MacKay, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Mac MacKay, and Nancy Walton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Walton.
