How do we reconcile this waste of God- glven natural resources and man- power with our Christian faith?" Rev. Findlay continued. In ex- amining the question of nuclear arms belng made and stored merely as a deterrent to possible aggressors, he insisted that the By Margaret 1. McLean “An Atlas missile containing all the bombing power of two world wars, including Hiroshima, at this very moment sits ready on its launching site. Is this a hos- tile act?" asked Dr. James Find- lay, as he addressed a meeting organized by the Men's Club of Thornhiil United Church on Tuesday, February 3rd. Dr. Find- ]ay, for 25 years the minister at Carleton St. United Church in Toronto. now merged in St. Luke's Pastoral Charge, was spearheading a movement of the United Church to gather a con- sensus of opinion, starting at the grass roots - something which could be called the mind of the Church - on the momentous question of a Christian's respon- sibility in the light of the new scientific knowledge of our time.

HI-FI At the close of his address, Dr. Findlay expressed the hope that the various groups within the church would discuss this ques- tion and formulate a resolution on it, to be sent to the Toronto headquarters. This is being done in all the United Churches across Canada and a consensus of the various resolutions will be put before' the Canadian Govern- ment in the form of a recommen- dation. He mentioned that the current issue of The United Church Observer contains the present official stand of the Church on the question and that a copy of this particular issue had been sent to every member of the Federal Government. Following Dr. Findlay's télk, the group of approximately 50 people adjourned to the Sunday School hall where they were en- tertained by a group of beauti- ful solos sung by Mrs. Hugh Martin. The group then enjoyed some tasty refreshments, while engaging Dr. Findlay in a spir- ited discussion. In the past. Dr. Findlay stated. foreign policies have‘been moti- vated by what was considered politically acceptable or‘ a mili- tary necessity and for geographic and economic reasons. They should be based. instead, on what the mind of Christ says should happen. The amazing potential of nuclear knowledge for great blessings is being used almost exclusively for the threat of ex- tinction of all life. “This is no myt , but the sober judge ,ient of pe ons close to the facts of nu- lclear development." In stating ‘that the hydrogen bomb equals five million tons of TNT and that one bomb would mean a lmillion dead and wounded, Dr. ‘Findlay posed the question, “Af- lter the dropping of such a bomb, how many of the survivors would continue sane?" He also quoted Dr. J. E. Keyston, vice-chair- man of the Defence Research Board as saying, “Science cannot promise anyv defence to prevent wholesale hell on earth. It is my opinion that we scientists fool ourselves, we fool the public, and we mislead military men and pol- iticians if we inspire expectations that, before long, we will find a way to provide any country with adequate defence against such at- tack.” Dr. Findlam emphasized that Canada had won the esteem of the world by her- independent thought and action in many in- stances and must continue to act independently now. “In this mo- ment of the cold war there is a climate congenial to ventures of faith and imagination.” He urged that expenditures now made for defence be transferred. almost in their entirety, to assistance for underâ€"developed countries. “So will men lay the foundation for Peace-Z. Dr. Findlay also called for "a forthright break in our present national emphasis, policy and programme which entertains the use of nuclear weapons." He felt that the Christian faith could find no sanction that would per- mit usto consent to the use of nuclear weapons as a deterrent, or in any war, limited or unlim- ited. SCARBORO -- Planning Direc- tor Don Easton reported to Scar- boro Planning Board, last week, one thousand new homes are un- sold. He predicted 3,000 lots for single family dwelling units flaggld satisfy the demand in argument of deterrence rests on immoral grounds and asked, “If we don’t intend to use nuclear weapons, why play with them?" He quoted Philip Deane, the Washington correspondent of the Globe and Mail as stating that the development of such extrem- ely accurate missiles has created a revolution, making the only possible defence one of attack. "We are living in an entirely dif- ferent situation. The old patterns are no good," he insisted. “We must re-think this knowledge a- gainst the background of Christ. ,, ,sLn an.-. ..._ __-._°,V fi‘his is a Christian‘s responsibil- ity.

One of their few outlets for poetic expression is the anthology. “Through The Year,” with Canadian poets is such a'one. This anthology was compiled and edited by the secretary of the Carillon Poetry Society, Miss Hil- da Ridley. She is also the editor of Canadiana. “Through The Year” represents the work of poets from almost all the provinces of Canada. The range of subjects in this 30-page booklet is wide and varied. Some of the most effective pieces are by Marion Cross â€" D. D. Cliff â€"- Thelma Carleton â€"- and many others who are too num- erous to name in this column. ‘ If anyone is interested in seeing this anthology, there is a copy in the Thornhill Public Library. I’d like to mention Aline Bayley as she comes from Elgin Mills, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thomas from Willowdale as well as myself from Thornhill as being the representative poets from our surrounding district in this anthology. The subject matter of the, poems in the anthology deal With appreciation of nature, thought and feeling, and human interest. There are poems about birds and animals.

A pebble dropped into a stream, the ripples start and grow, » And ever thus a radiant smile will cheer. where’er we go.” Hugh Halliday of the Toronto Star supplied the bird pictures for this booklet. “Through The Years” has been arranged in an attractive and comprehensive way with selections afor every month in the year. Aline Bayley’s poem, “A Smile” is taken from the February section. “A smile is like a rainbow that glistens after rain, Solacing' a weary heart, renewing hope again.

The children there are not re- tarded mentally but their mental growth is often held back ser- iously by emotional disturbances. Dr. Rich was trained in England and for the last few years worked at the Institute of Psychiatry of the University of London. While there he obtained his Phd. for research into juvenile delinquen- cy. He spent three years as psyo chiatrist to the Juvenile Court and lectured at the University of London and the Home Office. He worked for some years in a child- ren’s nursery and also in the Youth Clubs in the dock area of London and was the Governor of the local High School there. Thornhill residents are certain- ly honoured to be able to hear a speaker of such stature and with such an impressive variety of ex- perience. The joint meeting is ‘in celebration of Founders' Day.

Thornhill United Church A meeting-‘of the Evening Aux- iliary of the Women's Missionary Society was held on Tuesday ev- ening, February 2nd at the home of Mrs. R. Tamblyn on Elgin Street. In the absence of the President, Mrs. H. Craig, the meeting was presided over by Mrs. A. Martindale and the wor- ship service was conducted by Mrs. B. Hesson. A film was shown entitled "Black and White in South Af- rica,” a production of the Nation- al Film Board of Canada. The film covered several chapters of the country’s history. reviewing the beginnings of racial antag- onism and then examining the present policy of apartheid. Fol- lowing the showing of the film. Miss Kay Hutton led the group in a discussion of it. Knowing very little of the actual conidtions in South Africa, most of the lad- ics were somewhat hesitant in expressing their feeling that the policy of apartheid carries with it many injustices. It was men- tioned that while the proponents of the system claim that it means separate but equal facilities for both races. it seemed quite ap- parent from the opinions of peo- ple who had visited the country that apartheid ii fact means sep- arate and unequal opportunities, and this the ladies deplored. Last Sunday evening, the guest speaker at the Eventide Service was Rev. Colin Rudd of the Up- per Canada Bible Society. He showed a film depicting the work of the Bible Society in In- dia. Following the film. Rev. Rudd was the guest of the Young People at their social hour, which was attended by 73 young people.
