* Jast night, July 3rd, that Jehovah's Page 6 The Haileyburian Witnesses Refused Free Assembly The New Liskeard Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses learned Witnesses in Argentina have been denied their constitutional rights of free assembly and worship. A yote of protest was taken and plans discussed to petition the Argentine Thursday, July 9, 1959 Republic to correct the restrictions laid on the Christian group's acti- vities. L. J. Audet, the local congrega- tion's presiding minister, said that in spite of many liberal advance- ments made by the present Argen- tine government that ousted the dictatorial Peron regime, a few non-Catholic religious groups that were declared illegal by Peron have yet to be recognized by Ar- gentine's constitutional president, Arturo Frondizi. According to Mr. Audet, two different applications for recogni- tion were denied by the "ministry of worship" a department of the government formed by Peron to control the registry of all non- Catholic religions in the country. Furthermore, two futile appeals have been made to the present government to rescind the order denying Jehovah's Witnesses the right to register. The latest appeal was made following a new decree signed by Frondizi on February 6, 1959, giving non-Catholic religions full right to worship God as guar- anteed by article 14 of the Argen- tine constitution. Mr. Audet said the more than 6,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in Ar- gentina began circulation of a pe- tition addressed to the president of the Argentine Republic requesting recognition under the new, liberal provision of his government. The neighbouring countries of Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay are circulating similar petitions to acquaint the people of those count- mies, as well as Frondizi, with the conditions that exist in Argentina. "I was in a BP Service Station the other day for an oil change," said "Mr. Beep™. "The 'pleasant attendant filled my crank-case with BP Visco-Static, the red-coloured motor oil." *T asked him why the red colour, and his answer made sense. 'Visco-Static' is the finest multi- grade motor oil. It lubricates perfectly' in any weather -- hot or cold. BP adds a red dye to Visco-Static so that you can identify it and know you're getting the best. The Boss tells us that Visco-Static is good not because it's red -- it's red because it's good." "Now, just take another look at that big pic- ture. I've made it big so that you, too, will re- member Visco-Static and ask for it the next tame you visit a BP Service Station." BP CANADA LTD
