Page 2-A msmenan Lnurcn rows The Boy Scout Troqp, No. I*, which meets on Thursday , evenings at 7 P.M. at the First . Prehytsrian Church on Queen t Street, has begun its year’s i activities again. Scoutmaster is i Arthur Beder. and he says that < there is room for » more boys r aged from U to 18 years. Since this is mi integrated Scout Troop all boys are welcomed to . attend. ! Any Christian is caught up on two cultures - the non-Christian and the Christian. The non- Christian culture has certain atandards. it considers “normal”, and so does the ’ Christian culture. Non- Christian cultural values have , money as their base, and ‘ possessions become a sign of success in that culture. In the Christian culture faith . is the base and a quality of * personhood the sign of success. This conflict is often severe, ' because, for example, what - does a person in the Christian * culture does with gossip which is ‘ part of the non-Christian 1 cultural pattern? This idea of the conflict between two cultures is important - background to any sound reading oi the New Testament, * and the words and stories of Jesus in the Gospels. This concept of the cultural -.conflict is also part of Ellis c Nelson's theory about the place . of the congregation in Christian Education. Ellis Nelson wrote a •book called "Where Faith Begins" in which he defines the congregation in terms of its sociological |riace with in the Christian culture, seeing it as the community where faith begins and grows, and also . where the focus of the cultural conflicts is its sharpest. This , concept of Ellis Nelson's is to be . the sermon topic for Rev. John Calvert at the SAM. Sunday .. morning worship. As the Presbyterian Church is planning its Christian Education program to begin on . September Bth. when worship . will return to an it A.M. slot, this topic is timely. At the Men's Breakfast on August ih. the men discussed . the topic of "Male Image” in today's world of "women's lib" and changing social patterns. Hie whole subject provoked a groat deal of interest.

It is hoped that this wiß fill a need .for younger and wording women who are unable to be part of the monthly morning circle. The first program is being conducted by Felicity and John Calvert, and a decision will be made about the future at that time. Report From Washington The highlight of last we*>k in Washington was the first appearance by President Ford before a joint session of the Congress. Most of you by this time are familiar with the contents of his speech, but if possible, I will attempt to describe the atmosphere that surrounded his appearance. First, the entire croning was void of all tensions and a spirit of relaxation and cooperation prevailed. I believe this session was attended by the largest crowd that I have ever seen since becoming a Member of Congress. The stemding ovation that he received was not one of customary politeness but was one of genuine w'armth. As one Member stated at the conclusion of the speech, that having served 125 years in the House, the President felt completely at liome. The next order of business concerning th<» Presidency will be the responsibility of Congress to approve a Vice President. If this is done before the fi rst of the year, it will mean that the Congress has been called upon to perform this unusual am twice within 12 months. Among House action legislatio n was approved known as the Motor Vehicle and Schoolbi is Safety Amendments Act of 1 974. The bill provides a three-y ear, SIBO million authorization for the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966; provides for the remedy without charge to the o'wner of a motor vehicle which contains a defect relating to motor vehicle safety stand lard; and requires that scho<olbus safety standards be promulgated within a specified tim<e period for eight designated Jipects > • „ 'The House also approved an authorization bill to continue five existing programs of health s ervices with a price tag of ‘11.736 billion. The five programs are as follows: Health Revenue Sharing, Family Planning, Community Mental Health Centers, Migrant and Community Health Centers. Since the Congress will not be called upon to act on impeachment proceedings, a recess was announced to begin August 22 through September 11. with some hope of adjourning sine die by October 15. But it is my opinion and that of many other Members, that with the public demand for some type of National Health Insurance and much needed tax reform, that this October 15 date will not be possible. zTi mfi V MAMfFT J ■b QQo lb whole QQc PORK I OIN VV CUT-UP lb. 43t ROAST Holt Horn lb.
