With Rev. Martin Lynas of {Didsbury officiating, the INNISFAIL-BOWDEN MUTUAL Although the weather was a little on the chilly side on June 18, 1972, as the day pro- gressed, the chill waned and proceedings to mark ‘the 70th Anniversary of Westerdale United Church went forward to culminate in a very memorable accasion for many old timers, young timers, friends and neigh- bours. A few minutes after 2 p.m. the Wester- dale’ Church was filled to capacity with guests from Olds, Didsbury, Innisfail, Cal- Edmonton, Carstairs, Cremona, West- A, gary, e 7: cott, Zella, Harmattan, Eagle Hill, Ennerdale a and Sundre. Worthy of mention was the fact that Mrs. A. J. Morphy, wife of. the late Bert Morphy, with her three sons and wives and daughter and her husband were present for the chureh service and the dedication that followed. The choir’s choice of. one song was very -appropriate. It was pointed out that “Church in the Wildwood” written by the late Dr. Wm. Pitts, M.D., was.an uncle of Mr. Glenn Warren, age 92, of Olds, who was in the congregation in a wheel chair. Mr. Warren was accompanied by his wife, Eva, and daughter, Evelyn (Mrs. Francis) of Calgary. Mrs. G. Golds (Elsie Law) was also present. Mr. and Mrs. G. Golds sang in the choir in Westerdale when the late Rev. J. E. Howson, preached in the Following the church service the congregation followed the ministers in a+ procession to the Westerdale Cemetery for the unveiling and dedication of a cairn. The cairn was covered with a gold ‘trimmed purple cloth, church. the colors of the Westerdale Mrs. Elizabeth Baptist (nee| Young Peoples’ Club and it Peterson) daughter of the late| rippled gently in the light breeze. As the congregation stood round the cairn, Rev. Martin Lynas in. well chosen words commended Mr. Harry Jackson for his time and hard work spent in building the cairn and arrangement of the name tablets. Tribute was also given Mr. Ted Bolton who has acted as secretary of the ceme- tery committee for the past 40 years. Peter and Annie Peterson was present with first, second and third generations. HV A COMPANY N SALE Heather Gilmore and Karen Jackson unveiled the cairn which was fittingly dedicated by Rev. Lyas “To the Glory of God in the name of the pion- eers. and in the name of the | C A guest book was signed at the door and a brief history booklet was available to any- one who wished to have one. This booklet was compiled by Mrs. Ralph Jackson with the sketching on the cover by Mrs. Erna Shantz of Didsbury. lt was edited by Mrs. Riddle and Rev. H. Miller of Carstairs. A small table at the back of the hall held the old church minute book and registers and this created considerable inter- est. Much credit goes to Mrs. Ed Finnigan who was so help- ful in the preparations for this memorable event. : Report from Parliament by Allen Sulatycky, M. P. Rocky Mountain The United Nations Conference on the Hu- man Environment recently held in Stockholm was a great success, Much of the success can be attributed to the involvement of Cana- dians and the Canadian delegation. The Canadian contingent included not only féderal officials, but also representatives from the provinces and industry, The in- ternational press covering the conference rated the Canadian delegation as the strong- est contingent at the conterence. The Christian Science Monitor in a recent editorial on the conference concluded: “To rally all the participating nations in support of the conference proposals at a meeting lasting only 11 days was something of a tour de force. Much of the conference’s success was due to the extraordinary skill and untiring en- ergy of its chief organizer, Maurice Strong of Canada.” At the conference, representatives of 112 nations agreed, often unanimousiy, to set up principles, on an action plan and organiza- tional structure which will help mankind to fight pollution on land, in the sea and in the air. OLDS WEST W.I.

Creed, followed by a minute’s silence for de- parted members concluded the opening exercises. We were welcomed to Sun- dre by Mrs..Sam Campkin who greeted us in the absence of the mayor.

Mrs. Jake Sevrens was nomi- nated unanimously to become our new Constituency Conven- The accomplishments of the conference ranged from identification of atmospheric pollutants of global concern to dumping of toxic substances on the high seas. Provisions were made for the protection of endangered species of wildlife and for payment of com- pensation when the effects of poilution or- iginating in one country were feit in another country. The Declaration on the Human. Environ- ment was a real victory for Canada, which tabled well before the conference began a declaration on the human environment con- sisting of legal principles analagous to the UN declarations of principles on outer space and human rights. We were the first coun- try to do so. Some countries opposed the introduction of such principles into the Stockholm declar- ation. But, as the leader of the Canadian dele- gation, Environment Minister Jack Davis ae in reporting to Parliament, “we persis ed. By the end of the conference Canada was clearly seen to be leading the fight to pre- serve the environment. Canadians: would not accept anything less. : The presentation of.

Govn’t. drops Grade 9 exams Education Minister, the Hon- ourable Lou Hyndman announ- ces a new testing program to monitor the quality of educat- ion across the province and provide information as to the value received for tax dollars spent will replace the present Grade IX achievement battery exams at the end of this sghool year. The new program will mea- sure the performance of stud- ents in certain skills on a re- presentative sampling basis. “By this means we can tell whether education . standards within the province are going up; down or remaining steady’, the Minister added. Phasing out the old Grade IX tests in June of this year will eliminate a costly duplication of ‘services. Alberta is the last province in Canada to use de- partmental exams at the Grade IX level. The Grade IX diplo- ma will also be discontinued, as 11 is no longer of importance im a job ‘market. where few students leave school after Grade IX. Beeause of the elimination of Grade IX examinations con- sulations are now underway with Government House in Ot- tawa about the future. of the Governor General’s medals. A new procedure for these med- als is being considered. ——_0————_ IMPROVED: ROADS John McAdam, a Scottish in- ventor, developed the macadam type of surface which improv: ed the quality of roads.
