' Church Changes Seen Modern Trends Advance By CP Correspondent CALI, Colombia (CP) -- The Roman Catholic Church has traditionally been looked upon as dominating the social con- duct of Latin America as tower- ingly as the Andes dominate this continent's geography. In this city, lying between two ranges of the mighty Andes, the tradition has recently been called into question. The occasion was the. first Pan - American Assembly on Population, whose sponsors in- cluded Cali's University of the Valley and the Colombian Asso- ciation of Medical Faculties. Among the first to question church dominance were Cath- lic priests among the more than 70 assembly delegates from 21 American countries. Clinching evidence was a fi- nal recommendation of the four- day assembly in support of birth control. It read: 'In realization of the (family planning and sex) educational aims of the governments, and in recognition of the high incidence of criminal abortion, and in reg- ognition of the manifest desire of many couples to space their children's births properly, the governments, through their ap- propriate Ministries, should make family planning services accessible to the people who desire them, and educate the people to their availability. 'These services should pro- vide a sufficient variety of medically approved methods so that they can be chosen in ac- cordance with the dictates of the individual conscience." CHURCH CHANGING Such a public call for con- traception would have been un- thinkable here as recently as five years ago. Fear of the dis- approval of Colombia's con- servative church hierarchy would have headed off any idea of holding the assembly here in the first place. But times are changing and Latin America's Roman Cath- olic church is changing with them. Rev. Gustavo Perez Ramirez, a young Colombian priest, put before the assembly some sta- tistical evidence of the extent to which church teachings are ig- nored. --A social survey in Panama) showed that 59.3 per cent of married women there who go to church at least once a week use contraceptives. In Rio de Janeiro the figure was 57.9 pér cent and in San Jose, Costa Rica, 65.2 per cent. | Of married women who re- ceive holy communion at least once a month, 56.7 per cent in Caracas, Venezuela, use contraceptives, 39.9 per cent in Bogota, Colombia, and ans per cent in Mexico City. DEFY CHURCH Assembly delegates from sev- eral Latin American countries suggested it would be unreal to imagine the Catholic Church could veto family planning proj- ects on the continent consider- ing the extent to which the church's teachings are already ignored. ~The medieval serfdom to which many Latin American oligarchs still subject their peons is out of line with the church's teachings about the dignity of man. --La Vi olencia, Colom- bia's decade of political sav- agery starting in 1948, di- verged to. the extent of 150,- 000 slayings from the precept "Love. thy neighbor." --For all the rigidity of its intractable ethics, the Cath- olic church has been unable to prevent millions of Latin Americans from living in ir- regular families unblessed by its sacraments, nor millions of children from being born in illegitimacy." Alberto Lieras Carmago, former pres- ident of Columbia, in his key- note speech to the assembly. A priest at the assembly rue- fully reckoned that only one substantial group remains in Latin America which has not openly defied the church--the politicians, And their professed respect for the church stemmed not from spiritual illumination but from the non-spiritual belief that priests influence a lot of votes, NEED SCIENTISTS | The determination of younger jelements within the Latin American priesthood that the church shall not lose its influ- ence through remoteness from the modern stream was re- dation of the assembly: "Religious leaders should be continually provided with the best available scientific infor- mation on biological, social and economic aspects of population problems, This information should be made available to all levels of the church hierarchy. "In turn, religious leaders of all faiths should intensify com- munication with scientists in order that the public may fully comprehend the continual de- velopment of church thought." Perhaps the most striking sin- gle development at the confer- ence was the speech of Alberto Lleras Carmago, one of Latin America's half-dozen most es- teemed statesmen. Of the population which is consuming the region's resources at a rate that leaves Latin America virtually without development capital, he said: "The human solution, the Christian solution, the economic solution, the political solution is WOODBINE MONDAY, ENTRIES SEPT. 20 | Clear and Fast | (3500) | PIRST RACE -- Purse $2,100. claiming, maiden, two-year-olds, foaled in Canada.

"Latin America's gravest risk lies in this eroded, hopeless fragment of society," he said, adding: "Neither agrarian reform, nor taxes which raise the state's capacity to participate in investments which are the foundation of development, are solutions if waves and waves of human beings, illiterate and half savage, half sick, badly fed, badly clad, badly shod, roofless, continue contributing to the distribution of misery without participating in produc- tion and hardly taking part in consumption. "Already their number is so great and their crowding s0 tight that they are becoming aware of their capacity for trou- blemaking.

Major Holmes°and his wife have had a varied career in their 23 years of. SA service. Apart from years spent in sev- eral Southern Ontario communi- ties they spent almost seven years in the Punjab area of India and Pakistan where a war is currently raging "We worked right in the middle of the area where the Indians and Pakistanis are now fighting,' said Major Holmes. "In the light of our experience gained working there I can say that it is really a_ religious war. | "I'm rather glad that we are jout of it all now." SERVED IN INDIA The Holmes travelled to India following the end of the Second World War. On their re- turn they served in Kitchener! and later London. | The London posting ended early this month when the Holmes family came to Osh- awa. Their oldest son, David, 20, will join the rest of the family here later. Currently at home are the other three youngsters, Ruth, 18; Joanna, 12 and two-year-old Philip. Major Holmes is plunging into the thick of his official duties soon after his arrival. He has already agreed to assume the chaplaincy of the Canadian Corps. His first duty as corps chap- lain will be to take the service at the annual Drumhead serv- ice and parade which is slated for Sept. 18. "There won't be too much dif- ficulty in settling into Oshawa life," Major Holmes - said. "Major Lewis has left so many connections and ties behind him which I can take up."

(CP) --The machinery at the old power- house exploded one day, for some reason, and for some other reason nobody got around to fixing it. : The place sat to gather dust, more or less, for almost 40 years until Doug Huggins broke a window and crawled in. Dispatched to see whether it would make a good fire hall, architect Huggins quickly de- cided it would not. What he did say to himself, he recalls, was: ' "My God. This would make a wonderful theatre." it has. And down at the Powerhouse Theatre, you'll find the very model of a modern little theatre group. Mr. Huggins crawled back graphies of session members, an article by the minister, a list of new church members, weddings and baptism as well as statist- ical information about the church. The Anglican Church has just begun the use of its new curri- culum. It will be introduced into all departments from infants through to adults. Canon F. G. Ongley, rector of St. George's Ki Powerhouse Explodes, Theatre Is Born Anglican Church, will speak about the New Curriculum at the 11 a.m. service this Sunday. The Young People begin their fall program with Corporate Communion at 9 a.m. followed by breakfast and study groups. The Oshawa Corps of the Sal- vation Army will be holding spe- cial meetings from Sept. 22 to 26. The services will be held at 8 p.m. through the week and 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday. the leader at these gatherings will be Col. Albert G. Pepper, of St. Petersburg, Florida. The theme will be of a holiness na- ture and centre on the ideal of "Holy Living'. "Is the Church Really Neces- sary" will be one of the ques- tions asked of 200 laymen from the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church when they meet at Elim Lodge, Pigeon Lake, Sept. 24 for the 10th Bay of Quinte Men's Conference.

Within 12 months, marked by 2,000-odd hours of begging ma- terials, 2,000-odd hours of beg- ging money, and 2,700-odd hours of carpentry and design, a paint-wet playhouse entertained its first first-night audience. With such simple materials as potato sacking and rough cedar and workers have given an arresting decor to the en- trance and to a theatre area in which 150. seats occupy only half the space, leaving the rest for a deep, flexible stage. SETS SIGHTS HIGH Mr. Huggins, an architect who came to Canada 13 years ago, has tucked away a work- shop, makeup gallery, costume room and lounge in other re- cesses of the building. It's a smashing job. These people believe non-professional theatre must do smashing things or invite trouble.

" It's the kind of high road that can lead to glorious failure, as the twice-stung theatre group can testify. One of its many fund-raising schemes was a giant raffle of $5 tickets on a $16,000 home. In British Columbia, only an agri- culture society can stage a raffle legally, so the group sol- emnly re-formed the defunct Vernon Agricultural Society and made, plans to stage a horse show with house raffle attached. "We didn't know anything about bulls and this sort of thing," says Mrs. Paddy Mal- colm, English - born director- actor. "But the show was very suc- cessful. The agricultural society has had a great revival. It will stage another horse show on its own this year. "The raffle was disastrous. We over-reached ourselves com- pletely. In the end we had to make a money prize of $7,700. "The whole thing ended up with six men from the theatre group shovelling manure into a tru ick. "After this, we shall concen-| trate on theatre."
