The students students at Durham Christian High School were given a graphic lesson at a Hunger Awareness Dinner on January January 23rd. The 160 students participating participating were divided into groups representing proportionally proportionally the population of the world. Eight North Americans, 24 Europeans, 16 Africans, 16 Latin Americans Americans and a staggering 96 representing Asia. □ They were given meals typical of the continents they represented, in a suitable suitable setting. The North American meal consisted of ham, potatoes, vegetables, rolls, green salad, and cream pie for dessert. The European representatives representatives enjoyed a lunch based on a Dutch menu: soup, sandwiches, and fresh fruit. There was plenty of food for everyone, and even some leftovers. A simple meal of beans, rice and chicken broth with a glass of tomato juice was served to the Latin American American group 1 and even simpler simpler fare was in store for the African group. They had a typically Nigerian menu of mashed potatoes served in a bowl with a slice of bread. In stark contrast to the North American diners alongside, the "Asians" were crowded together on mats on the floor where they were given a meager ration of rice and a cup of weak tea.

He expressed his hope that the graphic demonstration demonstration of the ,good fortune enjoyed enjoyed by a very small proportion proportion of the world's population population would bring the lesson lesson home to his students more clearly than statistics. It is debatable whether the students learned much from the experiment. Many of the unfortunate "Asians" refused to participate, others wandered around try ing to (filch food from the North American or European European tables and, typically enough, were not terribly successful. ' ; As Mr. Knoop pointed out they did have a choice. They could run to their lockers to get their own lunch or buy a chocolate bar to tide them over until dinner. The starving starving multitudes in Africa and Asia do not have that choice. : If the students recognize the intrinsic unfairness of world food distribution, then the Hunger Awareness Dinner will have served its purpose.

On Tuesday, January 22nd, 1985,' which day proved to be the calm between storms, the members of Ebenezer U.C.W. sat down to a yummy pot-luck luncheon at 12:30, to begin our first meeting for the year. Lots of conversation flowed during lunch hour, and some new recipe ideas were shared. This meeting is mostly intended for business, but Jean Osborne started us off on the right foot when she presented presented a worship, dealing with the New Year. We sang together a fitting hymn - O God Our Help in Ages Past. Joan Down read those words from Psalm 33 - Our soul waits for the Lord, He is our help and shield. Jean then developed the theme New Year - The New Year is an unguarded frontier Ontario residents could end up spending "relaxing" weekends at their swamps if they aren't wary when buying cottage and retreat lands. A local version of the old Florida swamp land swindle swindle is still snaring victims looking for vacation property, property, says Dr. Robert Elgie, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. Unethical land dealers have disappeared with buyers' downpayments, pressured people into purchasing purchasing property, sight unseen, unseen, and sold useless lots through many devious means, Dr. Elgie explains. The hundreds of buyers complaining to the ministry about these scams over the past few years were all snared into purchases through newspaper advertisements. advertisements. The ads, which are still appearing, usually describe describe picturesque spots with lots of acreage, perhaps on the waterfront and maybe even including an entire lake or two. In one case, a buyer didn't quite get a lake, but he did need wading boots to get around his new property - it turned out to be a swamp. The man had gone out before before the purchase to inspect the land he thought he was getting, but later discovered discovered he had actually bought a nearby marsh. About 30 Toronto-based companies are now under investigation in connection with the sales and three men were recently sentenced sentenced to jail terms for conspiracy conspiracy to defraud the public public through land deals. The scams are an ongoing problem. problem. Consumers have lost downpayments of $500 to $10,000 through vacation property swindles. For some, life savings were wiped out in the deals. - which can be crossed without passport - or baggage checking. checking. No visa is needed at its borders. We can leave behind what we will. We can take with us what we want. She continued, continued, speaking of the words of Paul where he talks about forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. This passage suggests to us to leave behind the baggage of past mistakes and errors. To continually brood over a wrong road taken, robs us of vitality for what is to come. We were also reminded that Paul seems to be saying to be careful not to gloat over successes, or a job well done - it's fine to feel satisfied, but always be ready to leave that To protect their investment investment in such a major purchase, purchase, consumers should always always get legal advice before signing any documents. Never use a lawyer connected connected in any way to the person or firm selling the property. Be particularly cautious if buying land from anyone not represented by a real estate firm. A vendor who is not a real estate agent does not have a business reputation reputation to protect and there is no specific legislation controlling controlling such sales. Real estate estate brokers, however, must be registered with the ministry and could lose their certificates if involved involved in illegal land deals. Always ask to see the property deed or the broker's authorization to sell the land. Don't buy on impulse. Shop around and visit as many properties as possible. possible. Never buy land unseen. It's also wise to have your lawyer check the land title for any restrictions, reservations reservations or exceptions which may effect use of the property. property. It's possible, for example, example, that all trees belong to the Crown or a shoreline may have been reserved as public land. Consumers who feel they have been swindled in a- land deal should contact local police or a ministry ConsumerServices Bureau. behind too, and turn to the tasks at hand. Continuing by using these words of Paul "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus", Jean said we are to reach for the new chance, that God, through our Lord, offers to all mankind. What a wonderful provision God has made! Old things can pass away, and new things can be taken on. All the colors and broken parts can be fitted into a lovely pattern in the Master's hand. Maureen Elliott closed the worship with prayer, asking help to deal with our business thoughtfully, thoughtfully, and to the glory of God. Our brand new President, Charlotte Hughes conducted the business, and many plans and ideas for programs, catering etc. were discussed. Our banquet prices will be $7.00 across the board. Greta Down read executive meeting minutes, and recommendations, recommendations, in the absence of our secretary, Kay Mackie. Joan Down, treasurer, reported on finances, and presented our budget, which was accepted; amount $3,160.00. We also voted an extra $100.00 for Asian Connection, hoping to help Shelley Wright from Harmony, get to Korea this year. We were fortunate to have the two Korean women at our church in October. We still need a small rocking chair for the nursery, and will buy one if no one donates same. The knitting that was given at the Regional meeting in the fall, from our U.C.W., mostly done by one person, was as follows, 19 pairs mitts, three pairs slippers, two balaclavas, one pair socks, four sweaters, four mitt and hat sets. After discussion on these and several other items, we finally quit talking, cleaned cleaned up, and went home. We are happy to report that Ron Osborne and Robert Muir are once again in their respective respective homes. We all continue to be concerned for their health and continuing recovery, as we do as well for Margaret Ashton, Jeanette Kirkbride (formerly Mackie) and Arthur Found, and any others not mentioned here. We will miss Carrie and Simon Roberts and family from the base line, as they are moving to Oshawa this week. Our best wishes go with them. Patrick G.
