At left, Mrs. Edna Bradley and Mrs. Gerty Samis play out their euchre hands while Mrs. Mary Armistead and Mrs. Edith Welsh engage in deep conversation. (P.S. The strawberries and ice cream were a real treat.) A structural engineer with the firm of Leighton' and Kidd, consulting engineers, was in Bowmanville last week to check the structural safety of the town's arena. Two other arenas, one in Newcastle Village and the ther in Orono faced similar safety checks. Checkups of municipal arenas are required by Ontario government regulations and if the arenas do not meet government regulations, they must be closed or brought up to standards. The results of the engineering study on the Town 0f Newcastle's three arenas are flot yet available.

McGib- bon conferred awards on 142 Christian Group Deaâls With Today's Pol'itical lu The Committee for Justice and Liberty is a Christian organization interested in bringing a Christian approach to issues such as energy use, foreign aid, and economic growth.1 In short, the group has an interest in just about every- thing that people who are labelled "concerned citizens" are talking about these days. And the group does not feel that the existing- political parties deal with the issues properly., In fact, the CJL executive director, Gerald Vandezande criticized exist- ing political parties for deal- ing with the problem in terms, of dollars and cents rather than in human termis. The CJL stresses such things as human happiness, improved marriage and fami- ly ties, and the wise use of natural resources. Mn. Vandezande, the group's executive director was in Bowmanville Tuesday, Jupe 22,to address a meeting esues at the Maranatha Christian Reformed Church. But prior to the meeting he outlined some of the concerns of his gnoup. "We want to positively join the debate,"' he said. And joining iitthe debate is exactly what the Committee for Jus- tice and Liberty is doing. Lt bas published newsletters and booklets and it bas recently prepared a brief to the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Enquiry. That bnief concluded that there shouid be a moratorium on the project. Lt added that the project was "based on the very values that are now being questioned by so many people. " ' Mr. Vandezande explained that enengy is a prime concern of bis group, adding "When we decide to build a multimillion dollar pipeline, we have to be careful because that money can only be spent once." In describing the CJL, Mn. Vandezande said he didn't like Ontario residents for their outstanding contribution to the work of St. John Ambu- lance. Among those promroted to Commander of the Order were Dr. Ralph J. Kimimerly, Oshawa; Dr. StanlAey Camrp- bell, Toronto; Archdeacor R.P. Dann, DD, Rector (.-f St Paul's and Miss Amnella K. Prentice, Toronto who served overseas with the St. John Ambulance Brigade ini World War I and IL. On Sunday, Junie 6, the Chancellor of the- Order in Canada, BGen G.E.

The group is composed of about 1,000 members who pay $50 per year for the member- ship. You don't bave to be a member of ýany particuilar church orý denomnination in order to join. Lt is estimatedý that about 75 people in the Cobourg, Bow- manville, Oshawa and, Lind- say area are CJL members. The CJL has a full time staff of three and chapters alI across Canada but mostly in Ontario and the Western provinces. There were about 50 at the CJL meeting at the Marana- tha Christian Reformed Church Tuesday evening, about haîf of them mnembers of the committee. Other mieet- ings in the area are planned.
