ST A a RR alanis a ds TT . Wakeford, 8 When these folks talk about their sum- mer vacation they'll have more to talk about than just sunburns and insect bites. The group, including several people from Scugog Township, spent a fair bit of time in China during an extensive tour of nine Chinese cities, Guangzhou, Guilin, Chengdu, Xian, PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, Sept. 24, 1985 -- 4) Beijing, Zibo, Tian, Qufu and Shanghai as well as Hong Kong.

Korea the topic at opening session of the Port Perry United Church Women by Elaine Romeril The Fall Season of the Port Perry United Church Womens' Pro- gramme got off to a good start on the 10th of September when Mrs. Shelley Wright, one of the ten delegates of the United Church who visited South Korea in June, spoke about the Church of Korea, and showed some slides. In the business part of the meeting, the Presi- dent, Mrs. Annie reminded members of the ac- tivities coming up in the near future. The Fall Bazaar on October 5th is being held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and members were encouraged to sell tickets in advance for the hot lunch which will be served. The evening Regional Presbyterial Meeting will take place in Port Perry on October 9th starting with dessert at 6:30 p.m. when Shelley Wright will be covering a different aspect of her Korean experience. The Rummage Sale will be on October 17th and 18th, and the Thank-Offering Plans ready for Regional UCW meeting Plans are complete for the Regional Meetings of Oshawa Presbyterial United Church Women which will be held at Orono United Church on October 8, and at Port Perry United Church on October 9, 1985. Miss Shelly Wright of Harmony United Church, Oshawa, will be the guest speaker at both gatherings to share her experience of last June with nine other Canadian women, completing a Korean-Canadian ex- change program bet- ween the United Church of Canada and the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea. As told in the United Church Observer (September 1985). Audrey Beck, one of the 10 United Church Women members who made the trip, says that although the Korean trip was a non-political exchange, there were sharp reminders of the right wing military dictator ship which rules South Korea 'One day we were out, and it seemed like the whole city stop- ped... We found out that as part of martial law, on the 15th day of every month the government orders all activity halted at a certain time. Cars stop on the street. People get out of the buses. it was strange, and it cer- tainly came as a shock to us." The day-long meeting in Orono on October 8th, where Shelly will speak at both the morning and afternoon sessions, will begin with registration at 9:15 a.m. At Port Perry dessert and coffee will be served at 6:00 pm and the meeting will begin at 7:00 pm sharp Another worthwhile mid-week event for women is scheduled for November 5th and 6th at Harmony United Church, Oshawa Rev Dr James Beal is the leader. the theme being "Saved or Spent" Billeting 1s available. registration deadline 1s October 21, 1985, at a cost of $30 00 For more infor- mation call 416-668-3855 Service on October 27th when Mrs. Betty Turcott will be the guest speaker. Two different Centen- nial Souvenier plates and a silver spoon were on display and can be pur- chased from any U.C.W. member or call Margaret Brignall 985-2509. Members were asked to sell as many as they can as soon as possi- ble. Some of the downstairs rooms are be- ing renovated as a centennial project, and volunteers are asked to get in touch with Bar- bara Carnegie if they can help with carpentry, painting or cleaning, any evening until the end of September. The Mary unit chose readings, meditations and prayers which had been prepared by Koreans, emphasizing their fight for freedom and justice, and our "'oneness" in Christ. Annie Wakeford in- troduced Shelley and Peter Wright, who are members of Harmony United Church in Oshawa. Shelley holds many offices in the church, at local; Presbytery and Con ference levels. This was not her first visit to the Church Overseas, as she had previously spent a year in Peru. Shelley shocked her audience when she said that to join the Presbyterian Church of Korea, locally known as P.R.O.K., often meant landing in jail. This is due to their activity in seeking things that we take for granted, such as freedom of speech, and human rights issues. This year is the 100th An- niversary of the Protes- tant Church in South Korea and 20 denomina- tions are working together to celebrate. As a part of the celebration they are building an en- 133 enterin flower & veg. competition LLast Wednesday the regular meeting of the Horticultural Society was held at the CE.

One example we should follow 1s the way in which nine denomina tions work together Ac- tion is taken by a united effort of both Protestants and Roman Catholics to improve living condi: tions and opportunities for the people. Conditions on construction sites and in factories are not up to modern safety stan- dards, and Korea has the longest work week in the world - 55 hours a week with two days off. Most people get from $3.00 - $5.00 a day. Those in the Auto. Manufacturing plants receive $320.00 a month which includes all overtime. The Government spends $14 Billion on Defence, which is 40 per- cent of their budget, while only a small percentage is spent on Social programmes. Only 25 percent of the population is Christian, but the church is growing faster than the popula- tion growth. There are 1,053 Churches now, and they hope to have over 2,000 by the end of the century. Christians are not reticent in proclaim- ing their faith, as was seen in a public relations film at a glass factory which began and ended with prayer Canada did $2 Billion worth of trade with South Korea in 1984. Their economy is expanding, and there is evidence of building projects wherever one looks The people of the Korean Church received the Canadi-n delegates in love, anu by their generosity and goodwill made their stay en joyable as well as educa- tional New friends were made, and a realization of the unity to be found in the people of Christ throughout the world Sat., Oct. 5th - 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. JAZZ - JAZZ - JAZZ At EMIELS PLACE Downtown Port Perry 985-2066 UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA Rev.
