Blackstock Fair community event Blackstock and Area News by Joyce Kelly This week is Fair Week which will be filled with preparations by so many people that indeed it is a com- munity event.

Contestants are needed for the A.T.V. Pull at 1:00 p.m. so tell your friends to come along. Still more items are needed for the anti- que displays - bring them along on Friday afternoon when the displays are being set up. As usual the United Church Beef Barbecue will feed the hungry folk between the fair and the PART = OF 26 To the Peoples of the World A BAHA'I STATEMENT ON Peace IF, THEREFORE, HUMANITY has come to a point of paralyzing con- flict it must look to itself, to its own negligence, to the siren voices to which it has listened, for the source of the misunderstandings and con- fusion perpetrated in the name of religion. Those who have held blindly and selfishly to their par- ticular orthodoxies, who have im- posed on their votaries erroneous and conflicting interpretations of the pronouncements of the Pro- phets of God, bear heavy respon- sibility for this confusion -- a con- fusion compounded by the artificial barriers erected between faith and reason, science and religion. For from a fair-minded, examination of the actual utterances of the Founders of the great religions, and of the social milieus in which they were obligated to carry out their missions, there is nothing to support the contentions and pre- judices deranging the religious communities of mankind and therefore all human affairs." The teaching that we should treat others as we ourselves would wish to be treated, an ethic various- ly repeated in all the great religions, lends force to this latter observation in two particular respects: it sums up the moral at- titude, the peace-inducing aspect, extending through these religions irrespective of their place or time of origin; it also signifies an aspect of unity which is their essential vir- tue, a virtue mankind in its dis- jointed view of history has failed to appreciate. Had humanity seen the Educators of its collective childhood in their true character, as agents of one civilizing process, it would no doubt have reaped incalculably greater benefits from the cumulative effects of their suc- cessive missions. This, alas, it fail- ed to do. BAHA'IS of SCUGOG P.O. Box 1153, PORT PERRY, ONTARIO LOB 1NO Phone 985-9339 or 986-4689 dance. It should be indeed a busy day for Blackstock.
