Ministers meet for discussion

By MORLEY SOLTYS The Castlegar Associa‘ met at the United Church Tuesday for a regular meeting.

The meeting started off with a devotional by Rev. Ted Bristow, who had the ministers listen to a chal- lenging tape from the Banff men’s retreat with keynote speaker Rev. Maurice Boyd. The theme was “My Gospel.”

“My Gospel” is the Gospel of Christ, which is the central point of all who wrote the New Testament. God is in- exhaustible and therefore what He means today he will mean that much more a year from now. The devotion ended with a discussion by ministers of what was said.

There will be an installa- tion service at St. Peter's Lutheran Church today for the new pastor, Rev. Glen Backus. All ministers are in- vited to attend. Comments on last month's speaker and the Kiwanis Club were made.

The financial report was submitted by Jim Ferrier. It

was moved that Pastor Ken Smith and Pastor Morley Soltys, who are going to Israel next week, plant a tree

ministry magazine, - inar for clergy, inter-church youth rally at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 28 at the Pentecostal Tab- ernacie (all youth groups in- vited), letter by the ad hoc committee, and the Castlegar Hospital chaplaincy.

A lot of time was devoted to getting a better under- standing, unity, and a good foundation on the concept of hospital chaplaincy. The sub- ject was discussed inten- sively and personal feelings were shared by each minister present.

The issue was tabled until next meeting, which will be a combined luncheon and meet ing at the Sandman Inn Dec. 9. Ministers and their wives will attend.

Pastor Cliff Driberg closed in prayer.

SPORTS WEEKEND

The Royal Canadian Air Cadets No. 581 recently sponsored their first sports weekend.

Cadets from squadrons in the East and West Kootenays were invited for a weekend of friendly competition and social activities.

Competitions were held in bowling, volleyball, soc- cer and basketball. Other activities included a tour of Zuckerberg Island Heri- tage Park, a dance and a church parade.

The cadets were billeted at Kinnaird Hall, where most of the activities were held. Meals were provided by the Parent Sponsoring Committee.

The cadets hope the sports weekend will be- come an annual or even perhaps a semi-annual event, with more activities being added in the future.

“Lest We Forget” has been the theme of Remembrance Day for as long as I can remember. Lest we forget them, let's remember those who have survived wars of all kinds and who continue to pay the price physically, emotionally and spiritually.

And let's not forget to care for their needs. Lest we for. get, let's remember the hor- rors of war .. . that we will strive to find other means for peace.

While we are remember- ing, let us not forget that God desires His peace for us all. It isn’t the peace that we know now — which is little more than an absence of conflict and war. God's peace is the peace that starts from within — changing and transforming us, making it impossible to see our neighbor as our enemy.

As we remember those who have died for our country, let us not forget God's desire for us to know His peace. Christ — the Prince of Peace, calls his followers to seek peace in the world: we all pray for peace to him who is the Prince of Peace.

Campaign

By MARGARET BARWIS

Recently, Nelsonites were treated to an unique exper ience when they listened to Joyce Chikara, executive di rector of the Zimbabwe Freedom From Hunger Campaign. Chikara is a public health nurse who gave up a better paying job so that she can devote herself full-time to raising the health level in her country.

She starts with the basics — clean water and sanitation. Through her il lustrated lecture listeners learn of the improvements being made by the rural residents.

The Nutrition Villages are model villages set up by ZFFHC. Mothers with their babies and small children go to these villages for several weeks to learn “how to help themselves.”

They learn to till and ferti lize the soil, which seeds to plant, how to care for the plants and utilize the harvest by storing excess produce. Mothers are also educated about child care, family plan ning and proper sanitation — including how to build the Blair wells and latrines.

Mothers then return to their own villages where they share their knowledge and expertise with their neighbors. ZFFHC provides the materials — fertilizer, seeds, cement and roofing and the people do all the work. Twelve dollars worth of seed will feed 900 persons.

Children as well as adults, are taught how to make

bricks and build wells and latrines. Schools are built by the villagers and are used by all ages for education in many fields. All monies collected this Halloween in the Save the Children fun drive go to provide clean water.

Vernon Reimer, executive director of Save the Children Fund of B.C., accompanied Chikara to Nelson. Reimer was in Zimbabwe earlier this year and was impressed by the work ddtie by ZFFHC and invited Chikara to visit B.C. to tell of the work in which she is involved

Reimer has had experience with international agencies in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India Nepal, and Central America He was able to tell of the work done by the Canadian International Development

While in Nelson, both Chikara and Reimer met Helen and Lloyd Catley, parents of Margaret. Chikara had met Catley-Carlson at the office of the Canadian High Commissioner in Zim babwe and will be visiting her again in Ottawa before returning home

Reimer explained how CIDA will give from $3 - $9 or more for every $1 produced by SCF

Chikara and Reimer con. tacted people through the media of press, radio, tele- vision and speaking engage- ments.

After speaking to repre sentatives from organiza tions such as “Ten Days For World Development Church Outreach, Peace vironment and Global Justice and other interested citizens, Chikara and Reimer attended ‘a pot luck supper at St. Paul's Trinity United Church.

Later, they gave a brief talk to the West and East Kootenay delegates at the United Church Presbytery.

DUNN FIRST CANADIAN TO WIN VC

By BRUCE LEVETT * Canadian Press

In the blaze of noon on Oct. 25, 1854, Lieut. Alexander Robert Dunn of the 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars, drew his sabre and then — from the walk to the canter to the gallop — charged headlong into history.

Dunn was the first Canadian — out of 93 Canadians or men serving with Canadian units — to win the Victoria Cross down through the years. He won it for gallantry in the charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimea, nearly two years before there was a Victoria Cross.

Today, only six VC winners remain alive in this country. They likely will be the last because Canada now discourages the awarding of foreign decorations to its citizens — and that includes Britain's highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy

THE ROLL CALL

The six survivors are:

Lt.-Col. Charles Rutherford, 94, of Colborne, Ont., the only VC left from the First World War; Lt. -Col. John Mahony, 74, London, Ont.; Lt.-Col. I. (Cee) Merritt, TI, Vancouver; Sgt. Ernest Alva’ (Smoky) Smith, 77, Vancouver; Col. Fred Tilston, 79, Kettleby, Ont.; and Lt. Col. John Foote, 82, Norwood, Ont.

Each year, on Remembrance Day, fewer recall those heroes and what they did.

Dunn was born in York (now Toronto) in 1833 and studied at Upper Canada College, later going to Harrow in England. There, at 19, he joined the 11th

The young Canadian was described as “six feet three inches in stature, a most powerful and skilful swordsman,” when he was shipped to the Crimea with his unit.

FATAL CHARGE

At one time, every schoolboy had to learn the poem concerning how the Light Brigade — “cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them, cannon in front of them, volleyed and thundered” — charged toward the Russian artillery as the consequence of somebody's monumental blunder.

Dunn made that ride and — the citation records — was pounding back at a hammering gallop when he noticed a Sgt. Bentley, his horse played out, fighting off three Russians. Dunn turned back and killed all three with his sabre.

The 20-year-old lieutenant then cut down an enemy rifleman sniping at an unhorsed squadron-mate.

Nearly two years later, when Queen Victoria pro- claimed the Victoria Cross, Dunn was among those first winners. Those first crosses were cast from the metal of the same Russian guns Dunn and his men had charged that bloody noon.

Originally, the medals came with a blue ribbon, a color later changed to full crimson.

The medal itself is a Maltese cross, with the words

For Valor below a rampant lion surmounted by a crown. On the back is inscribed the name of the recipient and the date of presentation. Col. Rutherford might well have qualified for an acting award at the time of his exploit in the First World War.

As a young lieutenant with the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles, he became separated from his company in the region of Monchy-le-Preux, France. Alone, he wandered into a crowd of Germans, convinced them they were surrounded, and took 35 prisoners without firing a shot.

Col. Mahony, then a major, was wounded twice in 1944 defending the Melfa River bridgehead in Italy.

Col. Merritt, during the ill-fated raid on Dieppe in 1942, led the men of the South Saskatchewans across a bridge already choked with Canadian dead, attacked German strongpoints and then, although wounded twice, stayed behind to cover the fighting withdrawal. He was captured, escaped, and was captured again

Col. Foote, a Presbyterian minister, was a captain during the Dieppe action and he wasn’t even supposed to be there, going in with the men of the Royal Hamilton

LEST WE FORGET . . . Merle McFarlane pins a poppy on Castlegar resident Carol Bilesky. McFarlane served in the navy during the Second World War and the army during the Korean War. Money collected by the Legion is donated to such things as elderly funds. Christmas baskets and the mentally handicapped.
