Spurred by 30-year-old Charles Arthurson, an energetic and dedicated Anglican catechist from Norway House, and a $500.00 gift from a group at St. Olave's Church, Toronto, the log church is a tribute to the resourcefulness of the 200-member community where money is hard to come by. Shamattawa, at the confluence of God's River and Echoing River, has few trees and each family undertook to provide five logs each. The hand-hewn logs were towed several miles by the Crees and today the church awaits only inside work and furnishings. The Crees represent about half of the band that left York Factory in the 1950s in search of new trapping and fishing grounds. For years they were served spasmodically by a travelling Anglican missionary based at Pikwitonei, nearly 200 miles away. Formerly an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company at Norway House, Arthurson attended an Anglican Catechist School at Dauphin, Manitoba. He was appointed to Shamattawa a year ago and was responsible recently for the Crees making an unexpected contribution to the Anglican World Mission Fund which is applied to work overseas. OPEN-AIR SERVICE AT CENTRETON PARK Purchased about a year ago, as a Centennial project, from Mr. Murray Noble by the Township of Haldimand, a piece of land, approximately eight acres was dedicated for use as a public park last Sunday. Situated west of Centreton and east of Hwy. 45, the park includes a baseball diamond, parking area and picnic site near a pool in a small, cedar dotted valley. A congregation of some 500 people from the township and elsewhere were present in the vning for an interdenominational open-air dedication service. A large choir was composed of choir members from various churches in the township. Mrs. Chris Beatty, director of music for Haldimand Schools, conducted the chdir, and a small organ was played by Mrs. A. E. Snowden of Grafton. Reeve Douglas Johnson spoke briefly before the opening of worship. The Rev. L. M. Ware, rector of Grafton Anglican parish, introduced his fellow clergymen on the platform: the Rev. Kenneth Moyer, a former Grafton boy, noted as the author of Canada's Centennial Hymn, who delivered the sermon; the Rev. W. H. Baird minister of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Lakeport; the Rev. H. Parsons of Centreton United; Mr. Ken Robinson; the Rev. Howard Beare of Fenella; and Rev. Fr. Black of Meeting SALEM G. A. Smith Salem community was shocked at the sudden passing of Mr. Bruce Chatterson, who passed away at his home early Tuesday morning of last week, following a severe heart seizure. Once again, Salem folk express sincere sympathy lb the family. The closing service for the summer at Salem United Church wil be held next Sunday, July 23rd, 1967. Rev. and Mrs. French will be on holidays during the month of August. Please watch your church page for re-opening date in September. Congratulations to our new bride and groom. Karen Bellamy and Paul Island were married in a beautiful double-ring ceremony at Salem United Church, last Saturday afternoon. Rev. R. W. French of the United Church and Rev. L. M. Ware of the Anglican Church were the officiating ministers. Karen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Grafton. Each conducted a portion of the service. In his address the Rev. Kenneth Moyer asked "What is there to celebrate?" and pointed out that the United States will soon celebrate its 200th anniversary, and some countries in Europe can look back on 1000 years of history. "The important thing," he said, "5s that Confederation has worked. It was brought about by men who had great faith in the future, and belief in God. It was a venture of faith". Some of the reasons for celebration in Canada were recounted by the speaker; The Good Neighbour Policy with the United States, an undefended frontier, no guards, no guns; Canada's open door to the poor and dispossessed of Europe, who with their descendants, became fine citizens of this land; Canada's part in two world wars; Canada's place among the United Nations, her peace-keeping In 1867, he went on, Canada was made up of small villages, with home, school and church each playing an important part in the lives of the citizens. Canada can never return to the ways of 1867, but there are many things of 1867 we cannot give up: honesty and moral decency, we have them with us today. The combined choirs sang the Centennial Hymn as an anthem. - Dedication of this park climaxed Haldimand Township's three-day Centennial celebrations. Cecil Bellamy of Salem. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Palma-teer of Rochester, New York, were among the many out-of-town guests at the Island-Bellamy wedding.
