ORi OROINO WrEK'.Y TIMES Est8ablished in 1938 by P,, A. Forrester Roy C 'Forrester - Editor: and Manager An, Unf ortunate State It is unfortunate that there is a great poss'bility the Oreno Girl Guide movement in Orono may be closed devin. After years and years of pro viding train'ng and enjoyment for most of the children in Orono this group now cornes te a point where its existance is indeed in doubt. Through the years leaders have given of their time and talents to this organization, and at Urnes with littie support. Their work should certainly be acclaimed for much has been achieved over the years. Now a period ar rives when leadership bas depleted and the movement seems at an end. There is no doubt that there are qualified leaders within our midst if they would only corne forth to offer their'talents inpreserving this organization in Orono. There Îs much to be gained for the girls in the'district through the Girl Guide organization- and -there ýshould be a desire te see the mnovement remain active. Anyone wishing to enquire further into taking over the Guides as a leader is asked te con-tact Mrs. K. Lycett in. Oreno. Don't Spare The Doubts An editorial in the United Church Observer, October lst, nmakes, the point that it is both desirable and inevitable that Young people have their faith shaken at one tirne or another. Further the editorial states, "If they go away to uni- versity or just grew up and read books or even look at this sinful world, and think about it, they will have their doubts about the faith of ýtheir fathers. It's a great disservice to Our Young people te over-protect them froin the kînd of knowledge and ideas that rnay prove disturbing to their chiidish faith. It's ia wicked .~.to send them out inte the world unprepared for such a 5:hIaking. Faith in Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, wili neyer be destroyed by being exposed te knowledge and truth. There is ne war between science and religion, be- tween knowledge and revelation, between truth and faith, But, science can prove devastating te a false or distorted faith; knowledge can destroy religlous belief built on super stition and 'ignorance. Young people reared in the fear of God, nurtured in the teachiag of Christ, and well grounded in the Bible will net have their f aith destroyed by the discovery that the story of Jonah being swallowed by a great fish is a parable or myth. But if Young people ýare te be prepared for 1f e they should learn when they are stili Young that while the story itsëlf may be just a parable, such as those about the -Gwd Samaritan or the Prodigal Son, its religious message is profound. Jesus repeatedly used the story-telling techi- nique, The prophets and writers used the saine device," It dees appear te this writer that the United Churcli is currently establishing the mucli needed reform in their teaching te aline it with the knowledge of the day. Dis- turbing facts can no longer be overlooked or overshadowed for Young people have a world of knowledge about thern with which te formn basis for reason and opinions, The responsibîlity of change rests net only with day schools 'and the home but aiso with the churcb, and those who 'remain dormant will more than likely fali by the wayside, Long'Live The Queen The enthusîastic welcome given the Queen in Prince Edward Island echees the feeling of hier subi ects throughout the land, even, as Mr. Leon Balcer bas pointed eut in Quebec where only a handful of people Wil nat Le glad te see lier. Except for the people of the national capital, wie in Ontario are net te be honoured with a visit this year but it is only wise te cencur with those who feel that Royai visît should be relatively short and f or specifie purposes. rather than long tours like that of 1959. The present visit of the Queen and the Duke of Ed- inburgh commemoî ates the Charlottetown and Quebec con- feýrences, at which the idea of the Dominion of Canada was cnceived. It is appropriate that they- should visit those ciisas wveil as Ottawa on this occason.
