It is not too late if we break away from _ the dead-end thinking that has charcter- ized our behaviour and our talk in the past. The notion that we can have se- curity just by making bigger and better bombs is dead-end thinking. The notion, too, that shelters provide some security in the event of a nuclear war is dead-end thinking, too. The idea that atomic bombs and a suf- ficient number of them act as a deterrent is just stuff and nonsense. If the deter- rent idea had any merit the Soviet would not have acted as it did in Berlin and else- where. Similarly, the existence of a heavy nuclear stock-pile in the Soviet has not -deterred the United States from looking - after its vital interests. "Threats and counter threats backed by nuclear arms have not worked. they have served rather as a stimulant to stir up trouble. We must make known our full, total and unequivocal support of the United Nations as the principal agency in the world for handling disputes. At the moment it does not have the means to resolve serious dis- putes; it is true that at the moment it Why the Shelters? Any nation that engages in atmospheric testing of nuclear bombs has in a very real sense already declared war on the fiuman race. Atomic bombs are not test- ed, they are used. Every time a nuclear bomb goes off our tenuous hold on life is to some degree weakened. Atomic Tis- sion converts the atmosphere into an open sewer for radio-active garbage. They in- fect hed. 3 It is worse than useless for us to rely on shelters for two reasons. The warn- ing time is insufficient and it is impossible or well-nigh impossible to get the right ventilation. A simple missile carrying a nuclear warhead delivers its payload in about fourteen minutes. The kind of shelters that we are building are neither Ag a matter of fact the, whole process by which life is _ maintgi WEE TO LL also lacks the machinery of world law; and, finally, it is true that the United Nations has been ham-strung by the So- viet bloc. But these are not valid rea. sons for holding back. It just makes that kind of organization more important than ever. .. There can be no true peace in this world and no real freedom without world law. The objective of our policy and that of the other nations should be directed to giving the United Nations both authority and responsibility. This would be an au- thority to underwrite the safety and es- sential independence of all nations large and small. There should be authority to put an end to the arms race and authority - to resolve disputes on the basis of law and justice. This can't be done overnight. But in supporting such a program with all our strength we can begin to build up a coun- ter force to the present mad drift. We can do more. We can provide a rallying point for the majority of the world's peo- ples. Up to the present we have not come close to doing this. We should fight to bring Berlin and every other dispute before the United Na- tions--fight 'without the use of threats and nuclear arms, Any other program no matter how. strongly backed by the military is a kind of lunacy. strong enough mor deep enough to with- stand the effect of even a small megaton bomb. And a small megaton bomb ex- ploded thirty miles above an area would: : produce firestorms covering 6000 square miles. would be consumed. Shelters would have to manufacture their own oxygen. So far means of doing this in- individual or mass shelters have not Jbeerworked out. "People living' in cities would perish first." Those in remote rural areas would not have adequate medical and hospital ser- vices to sustain them. In view of this our civil defénse pro- gram looks like an ostrich's-head in the sand and that's just about what it amounts to.

Gerber as gueit speaker for our annual Harvest Thanksgiving service. Rev. Gerber, who has visited | us once before, was formerly a priest in the Diocese of the Arctic, and is now Rector of Washago Parish, north of Orillia. He and his wife and two The Afternoon and Evening Guilds both met on Tuesday last and details of those meetings will be reported next week. A successful rummage sale was held last Saturday. There will be a euchre in the parish hall tonight (Thursday). -- Choir prac- tice will 'also be held. The Young Peoples' Group will weet tonight, Thursday, at 7.30 p.m. in the church hall, to plan for fall activities, It is hoped that all who were active last year will plan to come. ; The Teenage Discussion Group which meets with Mr. Becker and Mr. Boothman has decided to change its meeting night permanently to Wed- nesdays at 7 p.m. in the church hall. The next meeting will be Wednesday, Oct. 11th. Also scheduled for next week. is a meeting of the W.A, on Tuesday after- noon, Oct. 10th, and the monthly Church School Teachers" Group meet: A group of young people from Mr. Fashler's "and Mr. Becker and Mr. Boothman's classes. enjoyed a weiner and corn roast at Heverdown's farm, Myrtle; last Saturday night. Mrs. | Kenny provided transportation, and ten - young people from this parish}. were joined by twelve from Brooklin, as well as the Rector. There is a need for leadership in the realm of girls' activities in this parish. The G. A, lost one of its cap- able leaders when Mrs. Sebben moved away during the summer, and at least one additional leader is needed if that group is to get underway this year. group of girls has worked for cook- | ister at Whitby for conducting these ing, nursing and religion badges, and taken part in many activities both within and beyond the parish. It would indeed be a shame if the group were forced to disband through lack of one responsible adult willing to + guide them. We would hope that the women of the parish, and especially those whose children are reaching an age where they require less of their mother's time, would give serious thought to "helping- with -either-the-Girls'- Auxili- ary or with the formation of a Jr. Auxiliary. This latter group would provide learning situations and re- creational activities for girls from 7 to 11 yrs. for-whom at the moment we have very little planned. The chain of women's groups in the An- glican church begins with Little Help- ers, and continues through J.A. and G.A. to the senior branch of the Wo- men's Auxiliary. We have had all now. It would be a project worth our time and effort to get and kaep these girls' groups. going. We were happy to welcome Rev. Hn. Pelletier to worship with us last Sun- day, after. an illness of almost two years' duration. M The parish was saddened last week by thé deaths of Mr. J. C. Whitby and Miss Martha Pearson. We were all most grateful for the kind and gener- ous action of the Whitby family in re- 'questing donations for our church school, in lieu of flowers, Mr. Whit- by was for many years superintend- ent of our church school." Our deep- est sympathy is extended to the be- reaved families. District Churches - September has - been--a -wonderful month, and now we are anxiously a- waiting the splendor of the Fall. We are standing on tip-toe to behold the trees aflame with color, and bow our 'heads in adoration.

Sunday, Qctober 8th will be Thanks- giving Sunday. Loving hands will decorate our little Churches with some of the visible evidence of God's love towards us. It is a fime of thank- fulness and there is no one who can- not be thankful for something. Quite often we forget entirely this world is only the shadow of the world to come, and we get so bogged down here that we cannot lift our eyes above and see the heavens, We invite all to come and worship, and show by your very presence in Church that you are thankful to God.
