18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, December 30, 1987 Obituary William Ross Weir William Ross Weir, a retired member of the Metro police force, has died at the Mesa Lutheran Hospital in Arizona. He was 69. Born November 10, 1918, Mr. Weir, one of six children, grew up in the tiny rural town of Saltcoats, Sask., where his father worked as a farmer, horseman and jack-of-all- trades. Mr. Weir joined the Canadian ar- my as a member of the Provost Corps before the start of World War I1, serving in France, Belgium and Holland as well as a year in oc- cupied Germany after the war ended. After being discharged from the armed forces in 1946, Mr. Weir returned to Canada and joined his brother Lester in Brantford where he was set to join the Brantford police force. Instead, Mr. Weir decided to move to Toronto, and become a member of the Metro Toronto police force. It was also in Toronto where he later met and married his wife Andrea. Mr. Weir served for 27 years as a constable with the Metro force, both as a uniformed and plainclothes officer. Andrea Weir said her husband en- joyed police work immensely. "Sometimes I didn't know if it was a job you could really like, but he felt a necessity to do it," she said. "He always loved to help a young person out of trouble, and he en- joyed the camar aderie of the polic e department.' Mr. Weir retired in June 1973, moving with his wife to Blackstock, Ontario where they began to breed Aberdeen Angus cattle. This spring, the couple retired from the farming business and had recently bought a summer home in Arizona. Mr. Weir enjoyed golf, curling and bowling, and was a member of the Port Perry Legion. He leaves his wife and children Adelaine, Janet, Jim and Russell. A Funeral Service was held at the Wagg Funeral Home in Port Perry on Monday, December 7, 1987 at 1:30 p.m. Interment Mount Lawn Cemetery, Oshawa.

Permanent peace among nations is an essential stage, but not, Baha'u'llah asserts, the ultimate goal of the social development of humanity. Beyond the initial armistice forced upon the world by fear of nuclear holocaust, beyond the political peace reluc- tantly entered into by suspicious rival nations, beyond pragmatic ar- rangements for security and coex- istence, beyond even the many ex- periments in co-operation which these steps will make possible lies the crowning goal: the unification of all the peoples of the world in one universal family. Disunity is a danger that the na- tions and peoples of the earth can no longer endure; the conse- quences are too terrible to con- template, too obvious to require any demonstration. "The well- being of mankind," Baha'u'llah wrote more than a century ago, "its peace and security, are unat- tainable unless and until its unity is firmly established." In observing that "mankind is groaning, is dying to be led to uni- ty, and to terminate its age-long martyrdom", Shoghi Effendi fur- ther commented that: "Unification of the whole of mankind is the hall- mark of the stage which human society is now approaching. Unity of family, of tribe, of city-state, and nation have been successively at- tempted and fully established. World unity is the goal towards which a harassed humanity is striv- ing. Nation-building has come to an end. The anarchy inherent in state sovereignty is moving towards a climax. A world, growing to maturi- ty, must abandon this fetish, recognize the oneness and wholeness of human relationships, and establish once and for all the machinery that can best incarnate this fundamental principle of its life For a free copy of the complete statement "TO THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD" or information about the Baha'i Faith and local activities, please write or call BAHA'IS of SCUGOG P.O.
