Photo by McRobbie The Baha'i Niew Year From sundown March 2lst ta sundown March 22nd is celebr ated by Baha'is ail over the world as NAW-RUZ (New Year) which ends a nineteen day Fast culminating a year of nineteen months of a Baha'i calendar, which is astronomicaliy fixed, cam- mencing at the March equinox. There are many dif- ferent calendars in use, ta mention a few; Grogorian, Julian, Hebrew and Islam. In the not too distant future it wil be necessary that ail peoples of the worid agree an a com- mon calendar - such as we are now striving for in a common metric system. Therefore, it seems only fitting that the new age of unity should have a new calendar, free from objections and associations, which will make aider calendars unac- ceptable ta the World Com- munity at large. Within the last year, you may have seen, an your television screen, the niame, "Baha'u'ilah", which means "The Glory of God. " A cen- tury ago Baha'u'llah, Founder of the Baha'i Faith, called the leaders af mankind, and mankind itself, ta realize that a New Era in human history had dawned. Baha'u'llah made it clear that His Revelation from God, signaled the coming of age of the entire hurnan race, plus the inauguration of a spiritual cycle as marking the last and highest stage ini the stujen- dous evolution of man's ca lec- tive life on this planet. The Baha'i Faith upholds the divine origin of al $reat world religions, and believes Baha'ullah ta be the Divine Messenger promised by them ail, which brings ta fulfillment ail the strivings and prophecies of the past. The Baha'i Faith embraces, within its community, mem- bers of ail races, nations, classes and religions, ail of which compose the human race. We, as Baha'is,. have an obligation ta make the Message of Baha'u'llah known, but once you have been made aware of its existanice and teachings - it is strictly a responsibility of your own volition as to how you will respond ta this New Message. Please investigate, in- vestigate this greot gift - the Bah'i, Faith. And now, "HAPPY NAW-RUZ" on behalf of Baha'is of Karwar- tha District. Fitness.

WESLEY VILLE What a beautiful day was Sunday, March 18! t seemed able ta suit almost everyone; roads were good too, for those who wished ta travel, and there were plenty of places ta ski. Some of the flock of wild swans seen a week ago are still around for they have been seen, a few at a time, in the fields south of the lakeshore road. Other wild life too, ventures near houses, seem- ingly unafraid; a fox strolled leisurely across the lakeshore near Port Hope one morning last week, and didn't appear flustered by an approaching car. A wolf, too, was seen but not so welcome near barn buildings. What an interesting world if ahl these creatures may live in company with man, even seals and doîphins in the sea. On Wednesday afternoon, March l3th, unit 2 of Welcome UCW met at the lakeshore home of Mrs. Murray Payne. There were 24 present and the meeting was in charge of Mrs. Christine Wilson. The pro- gram was the work of Mrs. Jean Payne and the group for the month using the theme, "Came as a child". Mrs. Elva Austin read reports of last month, Mrs. H. Reeve report- ed the finances healthy and Mrs. K. Dinner read thank you notes from Roy Austin and Mrs. Barbara'Irwin for fruit and letter received. Roy has improved and is back ta work. The social convener, Mrs. Orald Ford announced the junior choir members waulci be taken'out for their dinner instead of having one served at the church. Announcements and plans were made for coming events, the AOTS concert the follawing week, UCW conference in Lindsay for which a car load is planning ta attend, the Sep- tember trip ta Dundurn castie and a committee appointed for a card party. During the devotions scripture readings were from Matthew and Mark read by Mrs. Margaret Gould with meditation given by Mrs. Dora Nichais saying we must become trusting, like child- ren. Prayer was led by Mrs. Marie Dinner and a new hymn was taught and led by Mrs. Helen Dinner. Offering was received by Mrs. Kay Thorn- dyke and dedicated by ail with "We Give Thee but Thine Own." Before introducîng the speaker, Jean Payne welcom- - la ed everyone present including Mrs. Merle Adamson, Mrs. D. Franke, Mrs. Elva Osborne, Inez Symons and Mrs. R. Bamsey. She welcomed the speaker Mrs. Barbara Keenan of Coldsprings who would be speaking on the big sister movement and concluded hier introduction by reading the United Nations "Declaration of the Rights of a Child". Mrs. Keenan.said the North- umberland branch of the Big Sister movement had been started with a Canada Council grant received last September and ending Morch 16, from: then on the branch is on its own. t has 26 potential Big Sisters who will be interview- ed for compatability with the child needing help. There will be problems from the ';ery nature of the program; if there were no problems, there would be no need for the organization. Money will be needed so projects are being formed. One will open in the form of a thrift shop in Port Hope on the third floor over the Bank of Nova Scotia beginning on March 22nd. Volunteers for different types of work willbe needed. This UCW was anxious ta know of opportunities ta serve after hearing Mrs. D. Nuttar of Family Services speak at the annual meeting of Cobourg Presbyterial and Mrs. Keenan explained the opportunity. She was thanked by Mrs. Dora NichaIs who presented hier with a donation for the work from this month's group. Each member had been asked ta bring a picture of a child and these were pasted on a large cardboard to make an inter- esting collage for viewing. A special treat for this meeting was provided by Mrs. Betty Kerr of Port Hope who brought a slide show of quilts which she had on boan from the textile hranch of the ROM, situated on Queen Street, Toronto. Each slide was explained by a commentary read by Mrs. Kerr, telling its age, material, design and where it was made. Most of the ladies are quilters and some of the guests were there especially for this part of the meeting. Ail were interested in the designs and type of quilting; most of the older quilts were made for practical use but had artistic patterns as well. Mrs. Kerr was thanked by Mrs. Wilson and the, usual discussion of the program and events ta came accompanied the tea time when the group ýerved a variety of muffins. During thîs time to, Mrs. Orald Ford and Mrs. Margery Ashby collected the donations af stamps and eyeglasses brought for roll caîl. "O, For the Wings of a Dove", words from the 55th psalm were the basis of Rev. W. Kennedy's sermon at Welcome United Church on Sunday morninm. How many people have echoed them, -. . . . . . . . . ..

But instead of wishing, every effort should be made to change the situation, and if wings are the only way out, prayers for strength to make the best of life are better than wishing. Pride in one's self in the fact that each is unique in ail the billions of the earth, should give stature. to our being, and help us to cape. For those who are fortunate on earth like' most people in Canada, compassion for those behind bars of any kind,- should not be forgotten. The offering was received by Messers Gerald Byers, Harold Best, Bruce Hendry and George Tufford. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Austin' greeted the congregation at the door. The choir's anthem was "Why should he love me so." The floral offering was made up of daisies and pussy willows. Except for Donald, the Carrol Nichols family all were home during the weekend, Garth and Joan Jiggins, Michael, Patrick, and Matthew of Chatham, John and Marylyn McGuirck and Gloria Nichols of Toronto.

Expeets Election June l8th Northumberland Durham MP Allan Lawrence is predict- ing a June 18 federal election. During a speech delivered in Bowmanviîle Saturday, March 17, the MP stressed that only the Prime Minister really knows the date. "He alone makes the decision and I arn by no imeans one of his confidants,"ý Mr. Lawrence said. However, he told an audience of local Kinsmen Clubs that an election Monday, June 18 makes good sense for a number of reasons. He said that in about three weeks the present Parliament will be recessed for Easter and Mr. Lawrence predicted that it will flot be called back to Ottawa again. "Sometime shortly ater Easter Monday - which is April 16 - Mr. Trudeau will drop over to have a chat with the Governor General, Mr. Schreyer, and we'll be on our way into 60 days of election campaign," Mr. Lawrence explained. "lFrom listening to the recent comments of some of our 1political -leaders, -you might even think that the federal campaign had already started a month or more ago. Perhaps, it did, or if not, perhaps it should have," Mr. Lawrence said.
