georgetown herald a thomson newspapers limited puufcation serving the communities of georgetown glen williams norval limehouse hornby stewarttown balllnafad ashgrova terra cotta thursday february 2nd 1961 editorial comment why shortage of ministers the anglican church n faced with a desperate shortage of men training for the ministry according to information relayed on sunday morning by a local man who t studying theology and while we have checked with no other churches it is reasonable to assume that all are faced with this shortage what to do about if there are many reasons for the shor tage and many measures which can solve ft but to our mind one of these is money the sad fact is that for the training period and the money involved when a man plana to enter the ministry he is much better off if he enters another prof oss ion to be sure there are more reasons i money why a man would want to be a minister but we are living in a practical age today and faith no matter how strong doesnt put food on a minister s table or clothes on his children s backs a few decades ago it was customary for ministers to receive little cash and to subsist on invitations out to dinner hand- medowns of used clothing and an odd pre sent wben a member of the congregation felt so moved people in those day got ust what they deserved for every minister who felt his faith stronger than his physical needs there were others who sneaked in the back door of the theological colleges as a last fesori after failing at other jobs and who were graduated because men were needed so badly that half a man was better than none the situation is changing today but not as fast ahcl not as radically as it should if our churches are to continue strong they must have strong leaders men who do not have to fight a constant battle to keep the wolf from the door and who can live on the same social plane as an average par ishioner j set a decent salary scale for ministers and there won t be many shortages we wager touch football anyonb good response in letters an appeal for letters to the mail bag has brought some interesting ones which appear in this issue of the herald we hope other readers will use the herald pages to express their views tn fut ure the herald as we have said on many occasions is not only an instrument of pur veying news of the community if can also be a vital force in promulgating ideas and lln constructive criticism of local and nat ional institutions one writer has a point when he says are today becoming lethargic in our thinking it ts easier to watch television than to read we have so many modern conveniences that it is easier to drive a block in the car than to walk the days when everyone took their politics seriously seems to be on the wane and we have a great number of people who are not inter ested enough in who speaks for them be it national provincial or local affairs we reiterate that we are pleased to print all letters received with the proviso of course that writers keep within the bounds of good taste and refrain from libel and toopersonal attacks on their neighbors and provided also that the writer s name appears with his contribution

for light and dark a num ber of pictures ere scanned et one time and the operator groups these as much as possible to get setting which will give best reproduction to all the pictures sometimes he slips and in this case too light a set was used for the lodge pic tures and the lodge officials came up wfrh blank faces to add to our troubles wnen the herald is printed addition ot the plas tic pictures is the last opera on and if as in this case reproduction n not good it it too late to scan another plastic it is an equal disappointment to us when mishaps occur and with this explona tion

editorials could stimulate letter writing 36 bvron st tjear sir in last week s issue of the herald you expressed our con oern of the lack of mail bag letters during recent times i m sure that jour readers must bey noticed this too but 1 won r if anyone has taken the time to discover the reason for it the lethargy of the public is not local but nationwide and is not confined to letter writing m general attitude of let condi tions be s thej are is verj predominant among the canad iao people it is mv contention that it has been brought about in part by the lack of inspiratio nal leaders one cannot exclude of course television the mechani xation of simple domestic chor es and our general ngn living standard that is causing us to be overweight and short of physical stamina fxtrcise u viewed as distasteful and un necessary because there are new machines available to stim uiate our muscles without txer tion but however lo return to my former contention it is m he lief that if president kennedy proves lo be the great leader he appear to be in embryo then i am sure he will become more endearing to the anad ian people than will our own national leaders las fflfh that it political and eeononlieally tegrated with the 1 niled stait s it sesems thaj i am drilling awa from mv original mlmtnin in writing this letter but hit point i am trvlnf to make is lhat the publit must rw awak ened to lake an interest ouuide their own private lives the peo ple must bt made to realize that it is thtir democratic nghl to speak their mind and a goofl healrhj t xchange of nteis nr do much ood because of the present ad ministration s large majority i believe thev tonsidt r the m selves to be beyond reproach and do not have to dimuss tn front of the general public why the economic growth has stood still since 1956 why thev have failed to produce a balanced bmtgst since they came into power but indeed have bor rowed 2 1 hlllmn to supplem ent taxation and what thej m tend to do

fidence in the future so now ou ma ask what does all this have to do with yojir mail bng mv point is this people have to be encouraged cajoled and even provoked in to doing anything in these tim es
