Upon retiring to the Christian Education Centre, the thought provoking. film, "That All May Be One' was shown. The pur- pose of this film was (1) to involve us in vital human issues of the '70's. (2) to raise questions of faith and meaning today. (3) to do something to us as well as say something to the viewer (4) to provide an experience that probes the scope of one's responsibility. These issues, our own un- derstanding of the Purpose of Life and ways the congre- gation can help were topics for group discussion led by Marion Carnaghan. The secretary's report was then read and adopted. After attending to several matters of business we were reminded of the Oshawa Presbyterial Annual Meet- ing at Northminister United Church on April 3 and vot- ing delegates were appoin- ted. Marion Carnaghan told briefly of the background and work of Marjorie Rob- son, a teaching nurse in India, to whom our mission allocation is directed. A healthy balance was shown by the Treasurer's report. A Vacation Bible School is being planned for this sum- mer and financial assist- ance requested was grant- ed. Mrs. Parsons outlined our various 'supply' projects with a reminder to enclose the label with knitting and a need for remnants of mat- erial for the Save the Child- ren Fund and a request that good used clothing for a bale be left at the Church by April 30. Card fronts, Dominion store tapes and used stamps are being col- lected. Brief reports were given by Marion Carnaghan and Norma VanCamp who at- tended the Work Shop in Oshawa on March 113.

Council rejects Beath's rules By Ashok Chandwani Regional Chairman -Beath's plan for new rules .of order and decorum at council meetings set off a lively debate at Wednesday's council 'meet- ing which firfally ended in the rules being rejected by council. Last week Chairman Beath had issued a memo- randum which ~ said the chairman '"'shall enforce on all occasions the observance of order and decorum among members of regional council." Four other rules were contained in the same memo. Rules one and two made it necessary for members coming late to be 'recog- nized' by the Chair before taking their seats with a similar procedure to be followed if they left early. Rule three sought to ban food and beverages except water from council meet- ings and rule four banned smoking. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm and Councillor Jack Ander- sou (Pickering), both non- smokers, were among the first to oppose the rules. "I don't smoke myself," said Mayor Malcolm, "but I do recognize that smoking is a compulsive habit and anyone who wants to smoke should be allowed to do so." Mayor Malcolm proposed an amendment to the rules which sought to delete the one on smoking. The motion was carried. Councillor Anderson said he had smoked for several years and if anyone had told him he could not smoke, he would have been very much upset. Coun. Ken Lyall had a different problem. He has recently stopped smoking € and he was nervous that he would be tempted to begin again after watching every- one else smoke. He there- fore was in suport of the 'rule to ban smoking. The other three rules also met with stiff opposition. Some councillors questioned Chairman Beath's right to introduce such rules. They felt they should be con- tained in the procedural by-laws. Others argued that the council was not a church of some sort, or that members had to set any moral example to citizens. Councillors finally voted out the entire set of rules.
