THE CHURCH BELL

News and Views
from

The sincere sympathy of
the parish is extended to Mr.
and Mrs, Norman Fishwick on
the recent tragic death of Mr.
Fishwick's brother and sister-
in-law,

* ° *

Many in the parish and
throughout this area were
saddened by the news of the
sudden death of Mr. James
Toogood in Victoria,

dim will always be remem-
bered as “a pillar of the
church”, He, along with his late
father, “Pop” Toogood, had
much to do with the construc
tion of the church, then known
as St, Alban’s, in its original
location across the street from
the post office in Castlegar.

A loyal friend and kind,
helpful neighbor, his loss is
keenly felt, and the sympathy
of the parish is extended to his
wife, Hazel, sons Roger and
Glen, and daughter Faythe
(Mrs, Ted Killough).

St. David's Anglican
Church Women brought this
season's meetings to a close
with a potluck luncheon at the
home of their president, Mrs.
Ken Johnson.

A beautiful sunny day,
lovely garden, a delicious lunch
and a warm feeling of fellow-
ship made this outdoor event a
memory to cherish.

The ladies were delighted
when a former member, Mrs.
Barbara Gibson of Vancouver,
dropped in to say “hello” to her
old friends.

. *

Mrs, M. Brandson, con-
venor of the project, reports
that St. David's Anglican
Church Women have received a

photograph and a letter des-
eribing their recently-acquired
foster child, Ivair Vicente
DePaula, of Belo Horizonte,
Brazil.

The picture shows a bright
looking little boy of 12, He is
only in second year primary
school, as his education has
been delayed, However, he is
progressing well, and is very
much interested in reading. His
favorite game is marbles, and
his main chore is running
errands,

Ivair's parents are trying
their best to raise their family,
but due to the father's
extremely low wages, they find
it very difficult, and their
housing is very inadequate.
They are grateful to have their
son become a foster child under
the Belo Horizonte Family
Helper Project.

This is a very worthwhile
effort, and any love and
happiness which can be given to
a child can never be measured.
Quoting from a brochure on the
project, “Your love reaches into
the slums of Belo Horizonte to
give a child new hope for the
future and, hopefully, that
same love will be returned in
the form of a better world for
all of us”.

A letter has been written:

to Ivair and the church
women's group is looking
forward to a reply from him.

The ob of patnting the
trim on the church is progress:
ing well, but there is still much
to be done. Volunteers to
complete the work would be
appreciated. If anyone would
like to help, please contact Ken
Johnson or Merv Rush.

Conscience and Comment

Earthquake Shakes Republic

* “By Rev. K. Neill Foster

San Francisco de
Macoris, Domini-
ean Republic--
Here in the coun-
try's third city on
Saturday, June 2,
an earthquake
was clearly felt.
Though I am unaware of its
number on the Richter scale, it,
was an unusual experience,

About the only way to
describe it is to say that the bed
upon which I was resting
appeared to ambulate and for a
moment I wondered if some
friendly giant was trying to get
out from under it.

But the swaying jacket in
the closet confirmed to me that
it actually was an earthquake.

The Caribbean* fs~ earth-
quake territory and not too
many miles from here are the
ruins of an, early Spanish city
founded 700 years ago. The
destruction was so complete
that only a few partial walls are
now visible. The city itself was
rebuilt elsewhere.

According to scientists
who study these matters
several thousand earthquakes
take place every year. And in
one sense it is a physical
phenomenon. But earthquakes
do have spiritual significance.

Jesus predicted “famines,
pestilences and earthquakes in
various places”. And He called
it “the beginning of sorrows”.

One need not be an
end-of-the-world visionary to

Views Not Shared by Majority?

Dear Sir:

I would like to comment on
the letter recently published in
your paper condemning all
hippies who have settled in the
Slocan Valley during the past
few years and deploring their
participation in LIP and OFY
grants,

It does not seem to me a
very long time since people of
that valley were expressing
somewhat similar emotions
regarding the Doukhobor resi-
dents. At that time it was the
violent excesses of the Sons of
Freedom sect which roused the
anger of the respectable citi-
zens, justifiably no doubt, but
as always such feelings were
not easily contained and too
often spilled over in attitudes of
hostility toward all Russian-
speaking residents,

The provocations at that
time were more serious, more
long-standing and a more
positive challenge to the law, if
not the established order. And
yet, I am glad to recall that
near the end of that protracted
period of unrest I was able to
write that the restraint shown
by all the citizens of the- West
Kootenays, and their absten-
tion from vigilance committees
or similar devices (which of
course had been ! muttered
about by some hotheads} was a
heartening record in Canadian
history.

Tam therefore not willing
to believe that the 38 signa-
tures to that letter represent,
as they claim, 99 per cent of the
residents “before these hippies
came along”: It 'is too intemper-
ate and uncharitable an expres-

approximately 300 credit un-
ions, cooperatives and related

societies. It supplies.a complete .--
range of financial and teghnical

services to its member owners.

sentatives to B.C. Central's

It is doubtless true that in

symptom of which is
irresponsibility for one’s neigh-

only reasonable to suppose,
have brought qualities and

which may well be of benefit
even to that earthly paradise.

I do not see anything
wrong with questioning the
uses of the federal grants but I
think it should be done with
some objectivity and with some
alternatives in mind other than
golf clubs and recreational
facilities.

In any case the people are
there and are not likely to go
away. If they discern superiori-

which I myself believe in,
eventually they will emulate
them, But it should be realized
that disturbing social change is
not a local phenomenon but is
world wide, and it is the
good luck and perhaps through
the good sense of most
Canadians that they have been
able. to accommodate them-
selves to it with tolerance and a
minimum of rancour.
