It was decided that each of the five directors will convene one program during the year and suggested committees were discussed to work along with each Director. The first program will be the Annual Card,1Party to be held in February with Direct- or Gordon Barrie in charge. A June barbeque and an August cornroast were suggested with Alnme Ayre and Gerry Brown to act asconvenors.

We are sorry to report that little Craig Rickard is suffen- ing from a broken arm as a resuit of a faîl. We ho pe this will mend without any funthen complications. We were really thrilled last Friday evening while watch- ing the C.F.T.O. news from Dalhousie University in Hal- ifax, to see our good neiglibour Charlie Elliott among the Canadian Deleýation attend- îng the Colloquium on Ocean Management. This was a Tni-lateral committee with representatives from Japan, Europe and North Amenica organized to discuss the pro- gress of the U . N. Law of the Sea Conference. Whereas many of the Shaw's neîghbours and Bow- manville fniends know the Elliotts for their lovely home and wondenful cherry picking every sum mer, it is 50 interesting now to discoven that in our midst we have a man with such international interests. To rend the "Who's Who" on Charlie is to learn of a country boy who has surely made a success of his life. After attending a ruralschool near Clive AIurta, Chanlie had to stop his education to heip on the farm but nften five yeans there he decided that agricul- ture wns not offering him al the upportunities he really wished. U pon his, uncle's invitation, he returned to school in Carleton Place, Ontario, where he successful- lycompleted hbis five -year fh School course in just three years. Obviously bis years at farming had taught Charlie not to waste time, and the value, of sincere hard work. Af ter working for the Bank of Nova Scotia for a time he was advised to considen be- coming a Chartered Account- ant. It os ttorouýh tus success- fui career in this field that he became involved in the mining industry and eventunlly he became the President of the Mining Association of Canada. In dune 1974 Mr. Elliott was nppoilnted, as a mining advi-- sor, to' be a memben of the Canadian Delegation to the United Nations Third Confer- ence on the Law of the Sea. ,DOGLS S.

The second, held i n Caracas, Venezuela, June 2th to August 29th, 1974, was the finst ful-dress session. The third session was held in Geneva, Switzerland, Manch 17 to May 10, 1975. The founth session is scheduled for New York City, Mharch i5th to May 7th, 1976. To understand what LOS is ail about one must undenstanci some of the histony of the international rules b which the nations have used, the oceans. We have, most of us, memories of singing Rule Bitannin Bitannia Rules the Waves, sô patriotically in an earlier age, quite foreign to our schools today. Ba§ically, that was once the law of the sea - the strength of military striking power. As commerce on the sens gnew incrensingly important, international le came to be adopted. One Hugo Grotius, a man who was born in Holland in 1583, became a great scholar and was famous as an international lawyer. Much of the law of the sea we have today developed from philosophies, he enunciated in some ofhis works published in the l7th century. The basic concept was that the high seas were free to all. This was based in turn on the assump- tion that the oceans cannot be occupied by one state and their resounces cannot be exhausted by fishing or nav- igation!, i Most school children in the past were taught that a territorial sea three miles wide existed around the coast of each country. In fact the Territorial Sea concept has vanied over the ages the three-mile version being açcepted as the range of a cannon baîl when that limit was adopted in international law. Starting with the daims b y the United States in support of law enfonicement against "Rum Runners", twelve miles is now claimed by most, countries as territorial water within national jurisdiction for all purposes. In 1958 the first United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, attended by 68 Nations, nesulted in a conven- tion codifying some of the existngi aw. The second conference in 1960 failed to neach agreement on the mat- tens studied.' In 1967 Arvid Pardo, Ambassador fnom Malta to the U.N., proposed a Third Law of the Sea Confer- ence. In 1970 the U.N. set up a Sea Bed Commission to draft articles.to be submitted to the confenence and in 1973 the Sea Bed Commission was dis- sA solved and ail nations of the worid and a number of organizations wene invited to meet in Caracas in the summer of 1974. Overhanging this conference is the 1970 declaration of United Nations that the sea beyond the limits of national jurisdiction is "the common heritage of man- kind". Whethen the conference will in the end achieve a multilat- eral treaty encompassing a majonity of the nations is, of course, a matter of concern. Failune to achieve agreement will not meap the conference will flot have achieved any- thing since the aground work will hlave been lad fo r goups of nations with common inter- ests to make their dlaims, which is one of the normal processes of making inter- national law.' ELIZABETH VILLE Church services were held as usual. Rev. Gerald Brown, Bowmanville lead in the worship throughout our con- gregations. The choir sang an anthem. Rev.
