Community Corner

I LOUISA’S LETTER Dear Louisa. *■

I recently moved to a new town and 1 have done everything I know to meet the people and become a part of the community life. 1 had no trouble in doing this as the people here are very friendly- , My only trouble now is that I am involved in too many things. In fact, 1 feel that 1 am neglecting my home and children to do a great many unnecessary things? 1 am called on to canvass for one organization, fix flowers for another, talk to another, get up refreshments for a picnic, correct papers for a contest, etc., etc. 1 don’t want these people to think I am a flash in the pan and run out when the work is to be done but I simply have to slow down. How can 1 cut out one without cutting out all? Newcomer-Va. Answer: Just explain your situa-

tion to your new friends and tell them that you will work with the PTA this year and the Garden Club next or vice versa, but that you will be a divorced woman with juvenile delinquents on your hands if you keep on as you have started. Probably, all the club work you are doing is worthwhile but a woman’s first responsibility is her family and they should come first. You will have a great deal of time to do community work when your children are older and many women, at that time, fill the void left by their children leaving home, doing community work. } Remember too that most people have a tendency to work a ’’willing horse to death,” so don’t feel that you have to accept every assignment that is given you.

TO awrefl Mk LaJtf •*)lt jP - bI Ik Ifi mSBi I WEBB FAMILA’ — John Webb and family are making their home at Winona Lake while John pursues a master’s degree at Grace Seminary. Sitting next to John is his wife. Susan: Nathan, five, on lap; Grant, nine: and Joanne. 11. < Photo by Gary Lewis) Australian family likes the rural life in Kosciusko County

By GARY LEWIS It would seem that a minister coming all the way from Australia to attend Grace Seminary would be a world traveler. Chances are. one would think, that this Australian clergyman would make frequent trips to the United States and that he would be pastor of a large congregation. It would make sense, too. that he would be impressed with Warsaw as a city.. After all. aren’t most Australians farmers who live in the back-country wearing brown shorts and cowboy hats? John Webb and family are spending the year at Winona Lake while John attends classes at the Seminary. But they are not world travelers, nor are they farmers. In fact, they have not been impressed by the urban life in Kosciusko County. Lifetime residents of Australia. Webb is a pastor of relatively small (about 100) Anglican church in Sydney. Sydney compares more to Los Angeles and Chicago rather than to Warsaw or Syracuse. With a population of three to four million people, Sydney is one of the major cities in the country that, contrary to popular belief, is one of the most urbanized countries in the world. “There are more people living in cities in Australia than anywhere in the world,” said Webb. So spending a year in Winona Lake is far different than their suburban home in Sydney. “This is a very rural setting for us because Sydney is a teeming metropolis,” he said. “This is a slower-pace of life, all country life for us.” Webb and his wife, Susan, enjoy the change. “We love it. Driving off in the afternoon, seeing where the road will lead us,” she said. One of the biggest adjustments for the Webbs was the climate. In Australia, it rarely gets under 40 degrees in the winter and in the summer, the temperature soars into the 100 s. The opportunity to live in the midwest, especially in northern Indiana, would be a chance to see snow for the first So far this winter, however, it has snowed very little. “We were disappointed there wasn’t snow,” said Mrs. Webb. The Webbs arrived in August in time for John Webb to enroll in a master’s program in Biblical counseling. He heard about the program from Grace’s Larry Crabb who visited Australia in 1981 to teach a one-week seminar (Hi the subject. The course work involves interpreting the problems of people from the framework of the Bible. “This is a fairly recent

development.” explained Webb. He hopes the course will improve his counseling skills and that he will learn enough to teach these principles to his congregation when he returns home. This is the first time the Webb’s have ever been away from Sydney, let alone Australia. Since coming to the states, they have visited Florida and Niagara Falls. Florida “was more like home.” Mrs. Webb explained. “People have asked us a lot about Australia and we knew they would ask us. Since coming here we’ve been able to see things differently,” said John Webb. For Susan, the trip to the US has given her a bit of the travel itch — not world-wide travel, but travel at home. “There’s a lot of Australia we haven’t seen.” she said. Traveling in the US is much easier than traveling in Australia, she explained, “The highway system makes it different.” In Australia "The road will twist and turn. Our highways are underdeveloped. ’' she said. In addition to the change in climate, wildlife in Australia is completely different from what’s available in the United States. “This is the first time we’ve been able to see squirrels,” Mrs. Webb explained. “In Australia, we get a lot of children stories from America that tell you about American animals. These pictures are now coming to life.” The change of seasons in Australia is much different than Indiana’s. This fall, the Webbs took a trip south to Brown County. “The volume of change in Autumn was just beautiful,” she said. The government of Australia is a constitutional monarchy with Siblings class Expectant parents and their children are invited to attend a one-session Siblings class on Thursday, Feb. 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Lutheran Hospital’s Health Education Center in Fort Wayne. There is no charge for the class and all singles and couples with children ages two through 10 are welcome to attend. The purpose of the class is to reassure, educate and involve children in a family centered birthing experience. < During the class children will tour the nursery, listen to the baby’s heartbeat, watch a movie and diaper a baby doll.

prime ministers instead of presidents. A basic two-party system, the Australia government had a change in power recently. “We've had five years of very bad drought, and the government had to give out monies.” John Webb said. “Things didn’t get better with the change of government .” Webb’s church is also known as the Church of England and is similar to American protestant beliefs. In Christian circles. “There’s a unity that we’ve noticed. By and large, we fit in very happily,” he said. The Webb’s three children: Nathan, five; Grant, nine; and Joanne, 11; attend public school in Warsaw. Susan, a former elementary school teacher, said she was pleased with the children’s school work. She was also impressed with American children. “I think the children are very well mannered here on the whole.” she said. She was also impressed with the openness children expressed toward adults. “In Australia, children do not want to communicate with adults."
