Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 29, 1978 7, Mothers of 6th Pack Brownies Keep Busy at Sale Intended for last week) By Rev. Guy Corvers 1 It was on Friday afternoon, 15 years ago today, November 22, 1963, that 1 was suddenly awakened out of a well- deserved and necessary after- noon nap. It was well- deserved, I thougbt, because, I had been studying till ail hours of the night that week, because I was going on a four-day weeken preaching assignment from our Seminary together with four other senior seminarians. It was also necessary because I was going to lbe driving ail thaàt night to churches where we were going to preach that, weekend.1i The reason why I was awakened by My wife W s because one of the four seminarians was on the phone who informed me that they had contacted each other and decided flot to go out preach- ing that weekend. The reason: President John F. Kennedy had just been shot and killed. Theonly answer 1 couid give my seminary friends was a quotation from the Apostle Paul to Timothy: "Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season." Well, to make a long story short, we went out to preach that weekend, some 900 miles from home, but we went with heavy and painful hearts. Each of us wondered, and we also asked the question: Why? Why was he assassinated? What had he done to deserve that? And above ahl, why did God in Heaven, Who controls the course of history and the destiny of men, allow such a tragic and world-sbocking thing to bappen? Millions of people in the world walk around with similar questions. Why does this have to bappen, or why dol1 suffer this loss? 1 arn quite sure that Joseph, the son of Jacob, asked this question too when his brothers sold him as a slave to Egypt. He knew that bis brothers did this because of jealousy, but he did not against me; (iLe. selling me as know at the time why God a slave to Egypt) but God allowed this to happen to him. meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should it wasn't until many years later that he found the answer. Under the providenitial guidance of God he bad become vice-king over Egypt. It was upon his (i.e. Josep's) command 'that numerous graneries were built in wbich he stored up surplus grain during the so called seven 'fat years'., Then when a great famine came over "ail the lands" people from ail over came to Egypt to buy grain, among them his brothers who had sold hlm years earlier to Egypt. He învited bis entire family to corne and live in Egypt. Then when his father Jacob died, bis brothers began to fear for their lives, because they thought that Joseph bad not punished them as yet out of respect for their father. When tbey expressed this fear to Joseph be said to them: "As for you, you meant evil be kept alive, as tbey are today." (Genesis 50:20). Joseph had found the answer to bis earlier question: "Why ?" H1e now saw in the evil deed of his brothers the marvellous and providential guidance of God. Joseph proclaims God here as a saving and redeeming *God, and also that through the evil deeds of men He continues His wonders to perform. This is abundantly evident in the life of Joseph, but also in the life, of His Son Jesus Christ. Hie too was sold by an evil man - for thirty pieces of silver - to the religious leaders of Israel under whose direc- tion he was'crucified. That too took place under God's provi- dential guidance, Ito save and redeem people from sin. There on the cross of Golgotha Jesus cried out his painful why? too: «My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me? " Wei, on the day of Pentecost the apostie Peter had and gave the answer: "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by' God with mighty works' and wonders and signis which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know - this Jesus, delivered up according te the def laite plan and foreknowledge of God, (emphasis mine) you cruci- fied and killed by the hands of lawless men." (Acts 2:22-23) The black-faced words indicate that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was by God's design and under His direc- tion. He used the evil actions of lawless men His redeeming wonder to perform. And you and I can be the beneficiaries of that redeeming work by repenting of our sins, and by accepting Jesus Christ as our redeemer from sin. Parents and Coaches Should Know How to Treat Injuries -St. John Ambulance Release Marilyn Redwood's descrip- iens of injuries sbe's seen youngsters suffer in hockey games sound like a parent's nigtmare. Concussions, Chse~ heads, broken bones, injured backs, the list is long and frightening . But when Mrs. Redwood talks about it, she's not worrying out loud, she's doing sometbing about it. She is, among otber things, a St. John Ambulance First Aid Instruct- or and she spends a lot of ber time i North York teacbing amateur hockey coaches what to do wben a player is injured. She can talk about it know- ledgably because sbe's aIse a level four hockey coach, bolds a referee's certificate, and is the mother of tbree youiig hockey players. She says too many parents and coaches seemn to be indifferent to the welfare of their young hockey players. She feels strongly tbat th~e people who coach should be trained for it, and tbat at least two of the aduts who work with a hockey team should bave St. John Ambulance First Aid training. "Wben you send a son or daughter to school, you want a competent teacher. If you're sendn n our kid to play hockey, you sbould be sure the people working with him are competent." "Too often you get Joe Athiete, the father, wbo says, I played the sport, I know al about ItL But can he communi- cate with kids? Has he got common sense9 Can be apply bis knowledge of the game to teacb it? Is he concerned about the kids? " She's indignant wben aduits treatý young amateur hockey players like big league athietes and expect tbem to go, on playing no matter what. "I came out of an. arena once and saw a kid with a great gash in bis forebead, bleeding badly. The coach didn't know bow te treat the înjury and the only thing be was concerned with when I treated it was when the boy could get back in the game. I said you've got te be kidding. He bas to go to the hospital and get that stitched up." O'Parents should remember thtwben a littie kid is playing, it doesn't, take too much of a bump on the head against the boards or on the ice to cause a concussion. There's no major wound or bleeding, se Dad says, come on Johnnie, you're ok. That night the kid's sick te bis stomach, and Mom doesn't know what's wrong. Sbe's not interested in hockey, she doesn't go to the games..: "There should be more concern for the kids. They should play sports for fun, and pain and suffering aren't fun." Mrs. Redwood coaches boys and girls teams in several sports in, Nortb York, a borough of Toronto. She's pleased that the Metrepolitan Toronto Hockey League bas made St. John Ambulance First Aid training mandatory for its trainers,' at least. She'd like te see other leagues follow suit. She says untrained people, faced with an injury, may panic and may make an injury worse by doing the wrong-tbings. "They'll do something like scrape up dirty eld snow te put on a bump or a cut. They do more damage than the injury before the kid gets to the hospital." "My son was knocked down in a game last year. He was unconscious and'could have bad a back injury. They were trying to put bim on a stretcher, and tbey didn't know bow to do it. They didn't pay any attention to what the injury was. Tbey could have done him serious damage, but I went eut on the ice and showed tbem how te move him the right way." She wants more care taken , I * before young players get on the ice. She says children will sometimes bide tbe fact that they bave a chronic, healtb problem such as asthma or diabetes because tbey're afraid tbey won't be accepted on a team. "Tbey get away with it because Mother doesn't take an interest in sports, and Dad says tbere's notbing the matter with the kid." "But the coacb sbould be aware, then if sometbing happens, hie knows what te do. It's the unknown that scares you and dees harm." Mrs. Redwood is also a firm believer in making protective equipment mandatory. She saydthe drop in eye injuries bas been dramatic since hockey helmets and face guards have become required wear. She says she's seen more injuries in girls' basebaîl than in hockey because of the lack of protec- tive clothing.

Box 980, Oshawa, Ontario. - (416) 576-6800 Letter to Editor Dear Mr. James: The Canadiam Special Olympics for the mentally retarded is conducting a one-time special fund-raising campaign and we are taking this epportunity te tell you something about this wortby cause and te request your consideration for financial support. Research conducted in Can- ada and the United States offers strong evidence that physical training and atbletic competition for the mentally retarded net only enhances their physical, emotional and intellectual development but, equally important, helps pre- pare tbem for community living. Following this ap- proacb, the Canadian Special Olympics bas helped change the li ves of many tbousands of mentally handicapped through the experience of playing together. Since 1968, more than 26,000 Canadians, classed as "men- tally retarded"', bave passed through supervised levels of competition in local, regional and national games. Many thousands more bave partic- ipated in unofficial events at the local level prompted by the popularity of CSO pro- grams. Activities like swim- ming, track and field, floor hockey, bowling and volley- HE[ 2161 bail bave become a way of life for many for the first time. There are currently in the CSO offices requests from bun- dreds of communities for assistance in setting up pro- grams which can benefit thousands more. Until now, 050 bas neyer sought funds publicly for its progress. To date, programs bave been sponsored y a few foundations and corporate friends. But the program bas been se, successful and ex- panded se rapidly that broad- er-based funding is impera- tive. The campaign objective is $1,250,000. This sum is needed over a four-year period in order tô establish a firmn base at the community level for a continuing programn of phys- ical and social development for Canada's mentally retard- ed. We bave attached a brochure and pledge card for your furtber information. We hope that your readers will give serious consideration te this most worthwbile pro- gram and assure you tbatyour special gift to CSO will be greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely, John D.
