Wenman went on to say that unfortunately, time constraints in Parliament may not allow for it, but this, along with other principles of religious freedom ought to be a point of great debate in the House of Commons. He, along with other committee members spoke highly of Seventh-day Adventists and each expressed appreciation for the Church's having taken the initiative to bring this matter before the committee.

He assured us at the time that he would put Gander-Twillingate, Newfoundland Peace River, Alberta his best effort forward to convince other members of parliament to vote in favour of the conscience clause. When the matter was later debated on the floor of the House of Commons, several comments were made which reflected upon the Adventist Church in a positive way. Mr. Wenman, speaking of the Adventist effort to bring in the amendment said: In this particular amendment the tenets of faith of the major fundamentalist group who advocated this exemption are in fact the very foundation and value structure upon which this nation of Canada is built.

Dr. Winton H. Beaven and Elder Bob Sparenberg will spearhead a new frontier for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada. The private association called the Canadian Institute for the Prevention of Addiction was founded by Elder Sparenberg under the name of Community Crusade Against Drugs and Alcohol in Newfoundland two years ago. At that time the program was mainly a provincial venture. However, the association will soon be a national organization, planning to open in each province across Canada during the next several years. Pastor Sparenberg will be working closely with Dr. Winton Beaven of the Kettering Medical Center in Ohio. Dr. Beaven will be the Chairman of the national executive. Drug Awareness Program For Canada

A Unique Computer Program to Measure Your Apparent "HEALTH AGE" by Ronald Ruskjer, Ed.D., M.S.P.H., Director, CENTRE FOR HEALTH PROMOTION, NORTH YORK BRANSON HOSPITAL

Are you older than yourself? Health behaviour experts tell us that many people are. They cite examples of 50 year-olds who have the "health age" of people 60-65.

Cranbrook Baptism Concludes 8-Week Series Twenty-four people were baptized dur- ing the evangelistic campaign which was held in Cranbrook, B.C. by evangelist Dr. Wadie Farag. The members of the Cranbrook church experienced a spiritual revival as they assis- ted in the eight-week effort. Often it was said by some, "I've never heard it so plain before." Those who attended considered the two fellowship meals as highlights of the entire campaign. These two evenings were relaxed, interesting, and enjoyable. Delicious vege- tarian dishes were sampled; the people enjoyed the fellowship, and they were enter- tained by Dr. Farag's unique experiences.
