Edward Horton of Pembroke is the new president of the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church of Canada, succeeding the Rev. John Smith of Whitby. Mr. Horton was inducted on the final day of the conference's 49th annual session in McArthur Hall, Kingston. Victorious over two other candidates, the Rev.-George Richardson of Perth is president designate, and will assume office at the close of the 50th conference in 1974. The other candidates were the Rev. Ray Milley of Kingston, and the Rev. James Burn of Port Hope. Speaking to the confer- ence's opening day sessions, church Moderator, the Rt. Rev. N. Bruce McLeod said that while care must be taken in closing small churches which might be- come the core of an urban expansion, to keep these open merely out of sentiment was to turn them into "denominational cages." Taking 'joy' as his cue, the Moderator combined his crisp sense of humor and musical talent to lead in a song fest. He said he did not see the United Church as having a special mission to convert the Jews to Christianity, since "Jesus was a Jew all his life. I go out to share the good news, but it is God who converts people," he said. The Rev. Rex Dolan of Hamilton challenged the church to take greater risks in its work. He said he sees Jesus as a liberator, helping individuals to be human and. to live with "the unfinished and incomplete. "Jesus must be seen as fully alive," he declared, making obvious God's concern for the toal well being of man. It is important to treat man as an individual, and not strictly as a'potential con- vert and this is where I'm hung up on mass evange- lism. Theme speaker, the Rev. Wilbur K. Howard of Em- manuel United Church in RCMP officers at Science Centre this summer It used to be that Parliament Hill in Ottawa was the only place where tourists could see RCMP officers in scarlet tunics. But this spring and summer visitors to the Ontario Science Centre will be able to spot the red serge of the Mounted Police as well. To mark the centenary of the founding of the North West Mounted Police in 1873, a special exhibit on the Force and its work will be featured in the Great Hall of the Science Centre from May 23 through to Labour Day. During that period it will be seen by more than half a million visitors, estimates Douglas Omand, director- general of the Science Centre. RCMP officers will give . illustrated 20 minute pre- sentations inside a circular theatre 46 feet in diameter. They'll deal with the use of fingerprints in identification, recognizing forged docu- ments, and the Force's new information storage and retrieval system. Ottawa, said the church "must go out with a vision in its head and a monkey wrench in its hand.' Dr. Howard challenged some of the church's service pro- jects, describing them as "about as useful as a screen door on a subniarine." He said band-aid remedies are not enough; sustained action is needed. One of the United Church's chief architects of the plan of church union of the Anglican Church of Canada, the Christian Church (Disci- ples), and the United Church of Canada, the Rev. Robert Craig, was given an enthusi- astic vote of support by the Bay of Quinte Conference in what seemed a strong pre-union atmosphere. Dr. - Craig urged people to study the plan of union honestly and with open minds. © Stewart of Kingston, Two women were among eight persons ordained Wed- nesday night in Sydenham St. Church, Kingston.

A conference highlight of a lighter nature, was the annual volleyball tourna- ment with the President's Trophy won by Kingston Presbytery, ousting last year's champions, Belle- ville, two games to one. President John Smith pre- sented the trophy to team captain Harry Seeley of Elgin. Scugog Please remember the Spring Fair on Saturday May 26. the ladies of the "Head" give donations for the variety table such as aprons, embroidery-work or knitted articles. For further infor- mation contact Mrs. Norma Crowell. Mrs. Myrtle Manns and Mrs. Marilyn Tripp on Thursday night entertained several ladies of the "Head" U.C.W. at a shower in honour of Sandra Healey prior to her approaching marriage on Saturday. On Sunday Rev. Pogue's talk with the children was a timely attention to seed planting. © They concluded that every seed has its own plant and vice versa. Also that God has made a very consistent world. The message for the adults was chosen from the theme of the Commonwealth Holi- day and its significance. Our Democratic Govt. gives us the freedom to dissent openly. Only two countires in South = America have the freedom of Communism has captured one third of the world's minds. Under capitalism only those who were rich had the right to the best of opportunity and respect. To-day we are realizing the poor have rights too. We must learn respect for another person's right to be different as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. We must also learn to trust one another. The people of the "Head" wish to join the rest of the Island in sending congratu- lations to Mrs. C. Hardy who recently celebrated her 88th birthday. She spent most of those years on Scugog but has now moved to Port Perry. She is very alert and keenly interested in: the activities of her Island home. Recently she sold her home besides the Municipal Build- ing to Mr. and Mrs. 'Ed Heayn who will occupy it June 1st. Therefore we extend a welcome to them. Mrs. Hardy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lansing bought this property from Thorns and moved there from the Foot of the Island when she was 3 months old. As they kept bees that were unwel- come callers at the school, 'they moved opposite John Sweetman's present home are requested to the press. '- but retained the former home. When fire destroyed it, the Lansings built the present house about 54 years ago. In 1925 Mrs. Hardy bought it from her Mother and spent many happy years living in the prior to her Port Perry move. Don't forget June for the special Dedication Service at the "Head Memorial" Church and Cemetary on Sunday of the 3rd at 2 p.m. Through the courtesy of Joel Aldred the Rothman Sound Truck will be in attendance to accommodate a large crowd for perfect sound. Sunday was a fine day for the Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Carter when they celebrated 25 years of marriage. About 118 friends ews | and relatives called at their home to bring congratula- tions and good wishes." Marion was particularly pleased when her former bridesmaid, Mrs. Roland Wiedman from Laval, Que., was able to be present. Marion also had a niece from Ottawa and a brother from Windsor. Other relatives were aunts and uncles. Visitors came from Hamil- ton, Oshawa, Port Perry and area. One particularly interest- ing gift from the Carter's 3 children was a pair of mounted crests of the Trew and Carter families. Janice had done considerable re- search back to the 17th or 18th century to get the necessary information.
