astle Hill youth (New South CWales) raised $A18,000 in an evening, far surpassing their goal of $A5,000, to provide a team of young teachers to support the Eden Valley School for Karen refugees—such as the girl pictured—on the Thai Burmese border. e. A formal dinner held at the Baulkham Hills Council chambers, organised, prepared and served by Castle Hill youth, was attended by 150 people at a donation of $35 or more. Dr John Knight (better known as Dr James Wright) presented an entertaining and enlightening speech for the guests. Gifts acquired by youth pastor Darius Jankiewicz were vied for with substantial sums of money—a donation of $A1500 was made for a pot of soup. About 20 youth volunteers will leave with Ian Howie, Castle Hill youth coordinator and primary school curriculum director for the South Pacific Division, from December 20 to January 21, to tutor Eden Valley students and build the first permanent classroom block on land purchased by Helen Hall, the school director. If you want to support these young people, your tax-deductible donation may be sent to ADRA, 146 Fox Valley Road, Wahroonga, NSW 2076, account number 4570.54. "Some of us who are older tried to temper the ambitious predictions and schemes, to prepare the youth for disappointment," says church member Jeanette Kemp. "We failed. And they succeeded. Dreamers and idealists, yes, indeed. Thank God."

Assistant Editor Appointed A new editor has been appointed P‘to Signs Publishing Company. Lee Dunstan will work as an assis- tant editor working with the maga- zines published by the Signs. His main role will be helping in the preparation of Signs of the Times magazine. He and his family come to Signs from South Australia, but he has spent the greater part of his life in other states, particularly his home state of Western Australia. For the past three and a half years he has taught business studies at Prescott College—formerly Adelaide Adventist High School. Lee is married to Elizabeth (nee Cooke), who was the Adventist Book Centre manager in South Australia. They have two boys, Travis, 14, and Nicholas, 10. They have served as missionaries in Papua New Guinea at Kambubu and Kabiufa before moving to Adelaide. Lee also taught six years at Murwillumbah Adventist School. "We're pleased to have Lee join us," says the editor of the RECORD, Pastor Bruce Manners. "He's a good writer and had already demonstrated editing skills before coming to Signs. "I'm also pleased that we now have a complete editorial team at Signs after a search that considered almost 50 names and lasted some nine months. During that time we've had Yvonne Sutton working as an editor on a temporary basis. She's done an exceptional job and has helped us through some difficult A new editor, Lee Dunstan, has been appointed to Signs Publishing Company. He is pictured times.
