Elaine Pbillips said the show was a real asset to the community in keeping ladies beautiful and expressed tbanks to aIl who participated in this huge undertaking and mentioned pleasure toward the men wbo had given their time and "talents". The.theme was Sportswear - "Ieading the active life" and red, white and -blue seemed to be the main colours. Pool and patio - "Sun and Fun" witb colourful beacbwear and patio lounging attire. Day wear - "The Business W orld" displayed practical but attractive clothes.

Coffee and cookies, donated by U.C.W. was enjoyed by ahl. St. Paul's Rev. David Sissmore intro- duced bis sermon by saying, "Man is born to trouble, trouble is inevitable - it is our daîly diet in life. " Some do not let trouble bother them, while others let trouble get them down. How do you face trouble? Some find trouble as a stepping stone in life. He spoke of Jesus as the way under tbree headings: 1. Preparation, 2. Knowledge, 3. Reveation. 1. Preparation - John said in John 14 - don't be worried or upsçt. His disciples had given up their life styles and alI else for Jesus and yet they were afraid as He said one would betray Hlm. Jesus said He was going to prejpare a room for tbem - they had to enter the bouse or beaven and it is thought of as a banquet with fellowship with God, and being His guests. There are many preparations to be made before we partake of this "heavenly home", but troubles and disappointments can make us grow spiritually if we look to Hlm for our guidance. 2. Knowledge - Jesus is the way of knowledge. Too many people have no goal and tend to drift with the tide. We all feel life should be trouble free and each craves for satis- faction, but we know God only through Jesus and we know Jesus by studying the Word, especially the four, gospels. God is a limitless God. 3. Revelation - Jesus is the way of revelation. Phillip was rebuked for not believing Jesus' teacbings reveals Himself to us. By studying the scriptures we learn the works of God, and we are prepared Ito face our troubles by applying the word of God to our- lives.

Mr. Graham continued bis series on "Higb Tbings" and spoke on "lgh Characters" the Saints, which be said were the higbest characters in the- world. The letter to the Ephesians from Paul were addressed to the Saints in Ephesia. Let us imagine Paul alive today, writing and sending a letter addressed: "To the Saints in Bethany.' Who would dlaim it? Not us we dlaim ourselves to be ver3 ordinary people and certain3 flot saints. Stili, suppose th( postmistress should ask th( question, "Who are the saints? Who should 1 give this lettei to?" If we received the lettei we would make a mistake, because we give a moderr meaning to, a very ancienl word. Paul called thE Ephesians saints and they were no better than we are. What is sainthood? Wbeni Jesus began His ministry He divided the people into two categories - siflners and righteous - the sinners knew they were wrong, the righteous thought they were good. How did Jesus deal with the two groups? The saine way He said, "They must be reborn. " The sinner knows the need to be born again, the righteous does flot realize the need. To those who corne to Hlm, God gave the name Saint. It means a separation from the world - a dedication to God, before you can caîl yourself a saint. We cannot tell who is a saint, but God can. It is Christlikeness to be a saint - purity of life, temperance and seif-denial. We ail like to, bea saint, but it is difficuit for us because we nieed to, be full of faith in Christ Jesus - the Highest Character - He was a Saint.

During these nine weeks the students will live and work on a farm witb the aim of gaining better insight into agriculture and rural life.

The students, will receive $16 per day, six days a week. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food provides $6 per day and the bost farmer provides $5 in cash per day and room and board wortb $5 per day.

Sergeant R. Hobbs who beads the Crime Prevent- ion Division of the Durham Regional Police, was a guest speaker of the policy building in Bowmanville and made the surprise presentation after bis talk. -7 Janice Slocombe, chairper- son of the Block Parents central committee, accepted the bandsome plaque on behaîf of the program ,, consid- ering it a great honor and saying a suitable place would be found to display it. The citation included the words: "In grateful acknowledge- ment of the unselýish contribu- tions made towards the safety and well being of the children of the community. "', Sergeant Hobbs, in bis speech to an audience of approximately 50, said the Block Parents is one of the best programs in Canada. Besides looking af ter cbildren, lie said, it is beginning to mean a baven for senior cîtizens and 'unescorted women in need of assistance. There are 6,000 p eople involved with Block Parents in Durham Region and this means parents are now more aware of possible dangers to their children. The more homes displaying the white cards witb their day-glo letter- ing, the more reluctant the would-be cbild molester becomes. The signs also act as a deterrent to thieves wbo can see wben a neighborbood is full of watchful eyes on tbe look-out' for questionable occurrences. Thieves bave been known to avoid an area of, bouses -prominently display- ing the 10" x 10" Block Parents signs in their windows. Sergeant Hobbs said the police department welcomes calîs fromn parents concerned about possible dangers to' children and as the police can't be present on ail streets at ahl times, parents dan. He said the absentee programn is the most important. This is the facet of the Block Parents program whereby calîs are made from scbools to the homes of absent children. If the home called states the child bas lef t for school and the school bas not seen the child, a searcb canbe initiated immedîately. The police can be called and bave more hope of finding a child witbin baîf an hour than tbey do if a child is not reported missing until lunch hour or even dinner time. One woman in the audience asked Sergeant Hobbs if there were particular Bowmanville streets worse than others. Sergeant Hobbs answered, no, but made it clear that things can bappen anywhere. A Block Parent slogan was voted on at the meeting and the winning slogan was "A Sign' That We Care". The parents who already care will be attempting to recruit more Block Parents during Child Safety Week which takes place fromn May 1 to May 7.
