The expression of the congre- gation followed a report on recent developments in Portugal in an appeal of the 'Witnesses to the Supreme Court of that land. Mr. Hoglo told 'tending a meeting where the the local congregation that the Supreme Court of Portugal on February 22nd, 1967, upheld the conviction of forty-nine Portu- guese Witnesses who had been arrested in June 1965 for at- Bible was studied. They repre- sented the entire adult member- ship of the Feijo congregation. Religious services were broken up there when police invaded their home. - The Port Perry congregation was shocked to hear that these Christians were charged by the Plenary Court of Lisbon with Port Perry Wait For A Bargain! MEMBERS OF THE WILL BE ON YOUR DOORSTEP Monday, June 5th OFFERING YOU THE BEST BARGAIN IN THEIR Annual "Bag Of Bulbs' Campaign Lions Club being guilty of 'a crime against the security of the state'. Mr. Hoglo added it was ridiculous for anyone to think of these harmless Christians as a securi- ty risk. He explained, "It is most interesting that the prose- cution produced no witnesses to back up the charges and no evidence to show guilt at any time during the three-day trial. How unreasonable-then-for-the Supreme Court to uphold these convictions". Also of signifi. cance, it was pointed out that the Portuguese press had not reported the Court's decision to the public. Still more shocking to the congregation, was the news about results for the families in- volved. Thirty-five of those convicted are women who will | be taken away from their fami lies. Two of the women are ex- pectant mothers. Their babies will be born in prison. Sentences for thirty-nine of those convicted ranged from one and a half to five and a half months. Suspended sent- ences were given to ten. All forty-nine were fined from $47 to $170 and must pay court costs of $35 each. : The hope was expressed that public awareness of the treat- ment of a minority religious group in Portugal might yet bring relief to the Witnesses there. Junior Farmers | The Port Perry Junior Farm- ers held their May meeting in Greenbank Hall on May 23rd, 1967. The Junior Farmers discussed the forth-coming bus trip to Expo in July, the float that the county Juniors are entering in the parade at Port Perry and the club project. Mr. H. L., Fair, agriculture re- presentative of Ontario County, then showed his slides of his trip with the Provincial dele- gates to Great Britain last year. He also had pictures of some European countries that he visited. Christiaan Science Monitor recommends you read your local newspaper Your local newspaper is a wide-range newspaper with many features.
