the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 45 Quetph Street Georgetown Ontario 3Z6 GARNET Publisher and General Manager DAVE Editor 2201 J STEVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Second Clin Mill Pane SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday July Concert organizers very special group Our hats go off to a group of five men who wanted to do something about tornado victims left homeless May With less than a month to prepare Fred Harrison Wayne King Ken Morrow Don and Bob Reynolds held a benefit concert Saturday their work was rewarded when more than people showed up at the Gordon arena to support their cause Couples enjoyed a barbecue chicken meal and then danced to the sounds of Robbie Lane and the Disciples Many many people deserve the town s thanks for the generosity and cooperation in making the night so fruitful Dozens of individuals and business donated money or items or of discounts towards the dance The event says a lot about our community spirit We haven t lost our desire to help those who suffer tragedies or those who are less fortunate than ourselves It Just takes the initiative of people like Wayne King and his buddies to get the rest of us in the spirit Ona world scale it seems efforts of others par ticularly Live Aids driving force Bob Geldoff have set an example likely to have an impact on future relief programs These fund raisers have a way of saying we can be a part of the solution to problems faced by innocent victims of famine poverty or natural disasters Big blow from Chicago The five star production crew are a bunch of guys who got together to arrange a concern to aid tornado victims la the and areas Toe organltm that brought to the Gordon Arena for an evening of music roodsnddancearebackrowlefttoHghlFredHarrison Bob Reynolds Wayne King front row Ken Morrow and Don Herald photo If you follow journalistic trivia you will probably have noticed that Paul Robinson the Big Blow from Chicago will soon bo retiring as the American ambassador in Ottawa lies going back to his insurance business in Illinois o make big bucks And it s not being disrespectful to Ihe departing ambassador to suggest the move in the general scheme of world affairs is somewhat less than earth shattering It more a natural under reaction one of the most over blown medio events or the year Paul Robinson picture has been appearing in our bigger newspapers almost daily he has born featured on many television shows including The Journal and judging by the comments one hears Canada S relations mlghtneverbcqultethcsameagain If one know better it would be quite easy to come away with Ihe Impression that an event of historic proportions was occurring between the two countries At one recent reception some of those earnest folks at External Affairs were talking about the departure of Paul Robinson in the severe tones that one associates with a shakeup in the Kremlin Yet deep down everyone knows that the departure of one American ambassador In Ottawa and his replacement by another will hove no effect whatsoever on oyr relations with the ted Slates EASILY MIFFED I am absolutely clear on why we come to attach so much Import ami to person who President or the State Deportment decides should occupy that cent mansion in Rock cliff Park But we clearly do Not only has every Canadian magazine and major producer become obsessed with utterances of Paul Robinson over the last three years but now we ore being treated lengthy dissertations on his successor and the probability that Ihe Canadian govern ment will be miffed by his lack of presence It seems we ore about to get a diplomat not a personal friend of Last me around some Canadians win miffed because we got a party who was obviously being rewarded Reagan M you there is probably nothing wrong with odd miffing but perhaps we lould save it for more important events A quick glance at history suggests that all high priced it matters not a whom the Americans send to Ottawa Nor I suspect does it matter much who we send to Washington At the end of terms they all hc like to think brought to Canadians or Americans as the case may be a better understanding of current irritants and they are leaving wllh great regrets and deep sat flcti Next ambassador please OUTDATED THINKING As mentioned earlier Paul Robin son is as ambassadors go a fairly I mean if we needed It ihat our navy couldn defend the St Lawrence River fie said we overspent on social services that old National Energy Program stunk to high heaven that the old Foreign Investment Review Agency was staffed by nit pickers and that the metric system was rubbish He also told a Toronto Star reporter lo shove off kid a remark that miraculously got op play on the national newscasts Because Paul Robinson was Ihe American dor we seemed to regard his every comment as an official decree from Washington We all knew what the Americans thought or of the and metric not to mention what most public figures think of reporters And just because Paul Robinson happened to say things more bluntly hescarcely rated the attention he received Perhaps It all a hangover from the old days when without the benefit lines television and Jet travel an ambassador really was his country s window in he capital Heads of government were too difficult reach And how that ambassador got along with our prime minister and other ministers might have had some But nowadays apart perhaps from an ability to organize a good lobby the talents or personality of an Individual ambassador don t much Next What do people want Distress Centre welcomes callers Dear Sir For Information be friending distress or re ferral the North Distress Centre comes callers hours a

moved to Ihe north a few feet by extending and reinforcing the blacktop Work on this was completed on July 27 almost two months after the initial suggest Ion was made In council I am not sure if 1 appreciate the full rat ionale behind the decis ion to move the road 1 am pleased thai some thing has been done but I am not sure if It Is the appropriate a ell on to take Perhaps the council should have been to look more long term solullont There have also been several more Instances of unlicensed cars being left outside the fence after hours and more and more vehicles pork ed behind the chain link fence after hours The recommendations from he committee will be going to council soon hopefully July lam most concerned that past inactivity of the majority of the council members will be repeat

council will take thia message to heart and begin serve all of the residents of Hills and nut just Ihe ones who happen to be in their area or who have a cause or problem thai appeals to them Susan Cox I CLERGY COMMENT By JOHN AIMER Immanucl Lutheran Church a church a business Churches should adhere to strict accounting standards But there the similarity ends No congregation should be in business for financial profit A pastor should care about the sheep not the Another difference is that a business can change its products or services according to what people want But a Christian congregation while It can change externals cannot alter the message of the Bible God own teaching without disobeying God A business can ask What do people wanl What do they think they need A church must ask What does God want What does He know people We have seen car makers change their products a great deal because people wanted to save gas It may be the fashion industry makes the most frequent changes Other businesses are always advertising something new and Improved Can church do the same No way can but it would be wrong There is no new and improved Christianity What do people wanf They want a club not a church with lots of fun sentimental music free babysitting and a minimum of thai boring stuff like education What docs God He wants people to be brought together to hear and learn His Word and to apply It in heir lives What do people want To be old that Ihcy con satisfy God wilh a little I of occasional What does God want When He said Thou shall not He thundered it Were the Ten Commandments carved In stone not change them What do people they need A little bos instruction in the minimum for getting to heaven What does God know people need To be shaken to the core of their souls by the realization of their sinfulness and their Inability to save themselves Whal do people wanl To late themselves on being easily good enough to stand before God on WhatdocsGodwantToconvince people that the only possible salvation is through the forgiveness of Hi that He has provided that forgiveness by and because of the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Chris on Ihe cross What do people want A fashion able rational religion that makes them comfortable with what they were a j iv thinking and feeling and doing What does God want He wants His Word to correct Ihe natural tendencies of fallen humanity In so many areas of thought feeling and action Real religion goes against our natural grain It con be painful But God changes our grain and our pain Real religion is not bandaids and aspirin It Is major surgery on the heart and soul Only afterwards do we realize that It was worth it The discomfort of the Law Is replaced by the real comfort of the Gospel the comfort of knowing God s forgiveness
