The mayor, who had earlier been enthusiastically examining the ever- and builder of 'y model ships put his finely crafted models of lake and river vessels on display for ing number of exhibits, ex- pressed her pleasure at being able to open '‘this most attractive display, and to work with such a cooperative and dedicated group”’ as the Heritage Society.

Morton Gustafson, local spokesman for the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, said the conven- tion program will be presented in nine languages in addition to English, cluding Spanish, Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese. Speaking of language, Gustafson said it has been a divisive factor in human relations for centuries. > $ p q 6 ‘Language is one of the reasons for divisions among men, however,” he said. ‘‘Others are nationality, race, education and ‘social status. But Jehovah's Witnesses are working in- ternationally to overcome all these divisive factors and become truly united.’" The convention theme for 1990 is Pure Langui The program will Stress that the ‘‘pure language’’ is one of truth and will endeavor to show the Practicality of making God's Work, the Bible, the dominant force in uniting people worldwide, Gustafson id.
