It is quite possible that the oldest tree in B.C. is still quietly :waiting to be di - ered. We must therefore con- fine our reply to what is known at the present time. So far as we know, our oldest tree is a Douglas fir located in the MacMillan Bloe- de) Shawningan Logging Divi- sion, south west of Duncan.

District Convention July 8-f1 A four-day district conven- tion of Jehovah's Witnesses scheduled for Vancouver July 8 - 11 will carry a theme of “Sacred SErvice.” For Jeho- vah's Witnesses that includes their international house-to- house visitation program, knocking on doors around the world, The program at the Pacific Coliseum Exhibition Park will go beyond this aspect of their religious life, however. It will stress the great spiritual void in human society today and how this void can be filled. Helping people is part of it. In an era of mass com- munication, newspapers, radio and television, it might seem that such a form of propagating ‘one's faith is outdated. The statistics relating to the growth of Jehovah's Witnesses in their public work of preaching and teaching the Bible do not support this theory. Reliable records show that more than half of all the Jehovah's Witnesses in the world have become such in the past five or six years, That adds up to 1,984,964 new adherent to the’ faith since’ 1970—more than 50. ‘per ‘cent of the international membership.\ ~ spokesman for the group in Castlegar, -all this increase is attributed to individual interest in peopl The 16,000 Witnesses as- sembled in Vancouver this week will hear speakers stress. that society is seeking a solu- tion to the problem of changing ' values, This includes moral, religious and social issues that are being challenged by young people seeking a more com- prehensive understanding of the world in which they live and how to improve conditions in society, As a result, Mr. Humeny said, many charismatic and evangelical movements have developed as people seek great- er meaning from religion. He said they desire more than traditional religious affiliation and are seeking some personal religious experience. “There is division in many religious systems in the world,” Mr. Humeny said. “Controver- sies rage over morals or moral issues such as divorce, birth control, homosexuality, pre ~ marital sex and women's libera- tion.” “Asa result,” he said, “the media continually expresses the viewpoints of clergymen, psychologists and. scholars re- lating to their opinions * these questions creating great confu- sion as to what is Lavy and to what is. wrong.” Mr. Humeny said the con- vention program will discuss these questions in the light of the counsel outlined in the Bible. - Grey Coca-Cola ‘To Taste Good as the ene wants to. turn Coca-Cola gre The Danish Foodstuffs In- stitute says the amount of brown coloring in the soft drink is a health hazard, especially to based on World Health Organi- zation’ recommendations—the. institute has ordered the local makers to cut down on the coloring.
