The church needs to play a
much stronger role is the
community, Hazel Meal -
lion, feisty mayor- of Missis-
sauga, told alarge group at
women from United church-
es across Ontario gathered
at Waterloo last week.
"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.

"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.

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. Conducting the service were Rev. Douglas Madge of St. Paul's
and the Rt. Rev. Morse Robinson, Suffragen Bishop of the Diocese of Huron.
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AWARDS—Three Candystrlpers at the Wingham and
District Hospital were honored last week for their efforts on behalf of patients and
staff at -the hospital. Cathy Henderson received an engraved silver spoon from the
