Young i e s

"I think it's very important
that young people get involved
in the political process and
decide in an informed way
how they intend to vote on el-
ection day, " stated Kathy Rob-
inson, London, National Chair-
man of the Prime Minister's
First Time Voters' Committee,
while in Wingham, on Monday.
Miss Robinson, a third year
legal student at York University,
Toronto, and a director of the
Executive Board of the Liberal
Party in Ontario, was in Wing -
ham , meeting with Peter Keil,
of Gorrie, chairman of the
Huron Youth Committee and the
key people working with him.
Miss Robinson said the Liberal
party has been very conscious
of getting young people involved
in the campaign at the constit-
uency level. She said new voters
are all the people in Canada
between 18 and 24 years of age
for a total of 2.8 million,
which is 22 per cent of the total
1',f
organize
Canadian vote.
Mr. Keil reported in Huron
there will be 7, 000 voting for
the first time. This means one
vote in five in Huron is going
to be cast in this election by a
first time voter, he said.
Miss Robinson explained she
was one of ten people on the
Prime Minister's First Time
Voters' Committee, going out
to ridings across Canada and
making sure that in each riding
there is an active committee of
young people working on the
election.
Miss Robinson and Mr. Keil
met with Charlie Thomas, of
Brussels, chosen by the Liberals
to contest the election in Huron.
Miss Robinson said she is conf-
ident he will get a substantial
portion of the new voters in
Huron working and voting for
him. She said Mr. Thomas
expects this very keen group
working with:him can do a lot
to ensure he is elected on Elect-
ion Day.

Lutheran Women hear of convention
The Lutheran Church Women
of Sc. Peter's Lutheran Church,
Zurich, met lathe church
basement recently. Mrs. Ed
Datars, Mrs. Charles Kalbfl-
eisch, Mrs. Earl Deichert and
Mrs. Alice Thiel were in
charge of the devotional and
topical program.
A recording of the sixth
biennial convention of the
Lutheran Church in America
was heard. At the convention
'which was held in Dallas,
Texas, June 29 to July 6,
250 youth of the church were
welcomed and given opportun-
ities to present opinions, ent-
ertain with song, and lobby
for progressive change in the
church.
Among the social issues
considered was humanity's
responsibility in caring for the
ecology. The Rev. Dr. Robert
J. Marshall, president of the
LCA, preached the sermon at
the opening service and was
quoted as saying, "We are
inclined to take religion the
way we take things in a
cafeteria- - selecting what we
want, and leaving the rest;
but this is not responsible
Christian living."
A program of evangelism
is under way throughout the
church to go into effect during
1973. This will involve activ-
ating the local congregations
and their members in an eff-
ective servicing to God and
