Andre took on the task of organizing the Embrun Carnival this year and was surprised to learn how much was involved. "It's all the little details to take care of," he said, pausing for breath a few days before the Jan. 23 kickoff. A 45-member committee helps put on the annual event. In the past, com- munity centre president Rene Brisson and vice-president Marcel Bouchard have done much of the spade-work.

Reeve Albert Bouwers said con- struction will begin "as soon as the frost leaves the ground."' The 34-unit apartment block will contain 10 two-bedroom apartments and 24 one-bedroom units. A government grant of $107,000 will reduce the total mortgage costs, said Bouwers. The home is one of two planned for the area. A 51-unit block in the village of Metcalfe is also planned and con- struction will begin this fall, with the help of a $159,000 grant. - Bouwers feels that statistics in- dicate there is a large demand for this type of apartment accom- modation for seniors. "The numbers that have ap- plied already are great, but-you don't always get everyone who said they are interested," he said. The proposed sits have been surveyed and Bouwers is op- timistic the projects will be com- pleted on schedule. "Everything is going well and we hope to open the doors in the fall." The Canadian National Hous- ing Committee is in charge of the project and meetings are held every two weeks to assess pro- gress. Russell Home filling slowly A number of residents have moved in to the Russell Senior Citizens' home where they are en- joying a friendly atmosphere, bright sunny rooms and_ the pleasure of not having to worry about shovelling snow or keeping the place warm. Of those in residence, most ex- pressed themselves pleased with the facilities. Millie Harrison who travelled across the road from her former home on Church Street said she was "very happy" with her apart- ment. "Tt will be nicer when there are more people in residence," said Teen Campbell, former district nurse, whose sister Pearl is in residence. The apartments are filling slow- ly as a number of those whose ap- plications were accepted seem to want to wait for warmer weather before moving in. Officials in charge are hoping that all of the 30 apartments will be occupied by the end of February. Greetings from Cancer Society The Russell.

I winced not at the impact of the slap but at the total desperation which must have forced the poor victim to get up there in the first place. I repeat, victim. For I believe these poor souls who hobble and wheel themselves on ta Angley's stage have been coddled, | coached, coaxed and cajoled to the point of doing anything to be healed. Even to the point of letting themselves be slapped on the forehead on national television. It's the ultimate in high pressure sales. Take the Bible, thousands of people crammed into a cathedral awash with television lights, uplifting music and the raw, punchy 'showmanship of a ringmaster and you can sell anything. P.T. Barnum proved that, without the Bible, cathedrals or televi- sion. Angley, although one of the most flamboyant, certainly has no monopoly on high-pressure preaching. Just check the Sun- - day morning TV listings. There's a steady stream of well- packaged, slick, breast-beating, Bible-thumping shows. From 7 a.m. to noon, you can get Angley, Jimmy Swaggart, Rex Humbard, James Robison, Robert Schuller from the Crystal Cathedral, Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell and Kenneth Copeland's Believers Voice of Victory, to name a few. I ask myself what is it these men (for they are only men) are selling. I've concluded most -- not all -- are selling themselves. Why else would they need Lear jets, estates, in- terests in companies, $500-suits and limousines. These men model themselves after Jesus Christ, so they say. But Jesus Christ, the Bible says, gave all and took nothing. Do they? Tabernacle television is still more or less a US. phenomenon. We get the shows in Canada but the gurus of the movement are still based south of the border. A growing number of Americans have been giving up their paychecks for the cause. Some have even mortgaged their homes. Do we want that in Canada? And, while the electronic evangelists get fatter and fatter, the little community churches suffer. Do we want that? But, you say, you saw Ernest Angley miraculously heal a cripple right on your own TV screen. Television is itself miraculous and can show things that are not always there. What you don't see on the screen are the pathetic cripples in the first row Sey to get up. They never make it. Re S CASTOR CUPBOARDS with Margot McCallum Dorothy Meharey Morrice's soup and tea biscuits "Could anything be better than simmering soup and hot tea biscuits on a frosty winter.day?" Dorothy asks.
