volume 13 / number 10 june 1984

The Story ofa Prairie Town. his is more than a chronological story. Against the background of history, the author Esther Epp-Tiessen has also sketched the struggle of the Mennonite pioneers to maintain their identity, and at the same time adapt to the current and changing conditions of society around them. And in it we also learn what it is to be a Canadian and at the same time to be part of a minority group. The book is written for a general audience and in popular style. However, its bibliographic documentation, numerous tables, maps and illustrations increase the book's attractiveness for both the general reader and the scholar of Western Canadian history, religious studies, ethnic minority studies, and of course, Mennonite History.

E8 ForeWord A Word of Thanks From the Publisher This has been a very good year for the Mennonite Mirror, thanks to you, our readers and advertisers, and thanks to a dedicated and selfless staff. The several thousand dollars we lost in the previous year has now been recovered through a good increase in paid-up subscriptions, advertising, and donations. The number of donors increased from about 25 to almost 250 (a donor mea ning someone who has contributed $25 or more) in one year. We are extremely grateful for this tremendous response. Our staff contributed to our improved financial position by reducing or eliminating the low honorariums that they previously received. Let me say now, while our editor is away in Europe, that our editor has always worked without pay. We think it is important to pay writers something for their work and we hope to return to this practice next yearthanks to your support: We also owe our improved position to a very favorable publi shing contract with D . W. Friesens and Sons . The hoped-for improvements in our pub Iication have been real ized withoutthe sharp increases in costs that we had feared . In September we will start our 14th year of publication, with a stronger base than ever. We hope for your continued support and encouragement, as well as your critical advice whenever that is necessary. What we appreciate more than anything else is the support of many people who don't always agree vyith our opinions but who value the kind of independent work that we are doing. Thanks to all of you!

Facilitators, Integrating Christian Faith With Marketplace Activity by Mary M. Enns

"W

hen Morris Sinclair speaks in his book about development, he illustrates that in helping people develop in general we are reveal ing who God is because we are presumably making things better, making things as God wanted them to be," says Neil Janzen, president of Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA). "He feels that educational development brings knowledge, economic development, and peace. Jeremiah 29:11 speaks of God's plans for us ". .. plans for good, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. I feel economic development, business and enterprise can give people, including those in Third World countries, a future and a hope, in immediate as well as long-term benefits." Promoting and instituting the programs designed to meet the needs of those in difficulty in our own marketplace as well as in economic development in Third World - this is the mandate that activates Neil Janzen and MEDA's 1,300 committed businesspeople in Canada and the u.S. Janzen, 45, has spent 23 years in the work force, eight of these in overseas service. What he experienced and saw there can't be ignored, neither does it go away. At this point in life he is convinced that it is not only possible but imperative that a Christian integrate his faith with his profession, his activity in the marketplace. At the last MEDA convention in Wichita he challenged delegates, asking, "What place does the cross have on the chart of business success? How is the world of business connected with the Kingdom of God?"

For Janzen, interest in service abroad was sparked some 30 years ago when he read an arresting article on the food crisis in the Free Press. The church's stress on service was a powerful influence. At the University of Manitoba he switched after first-year engineering to education, deciding what he wanted was contact with people. After a twoyear teaching stint in Winnipeg he studied at MBBC, completing a Bachelor of Theology degree in 1965. He now joined the MCC staff and under Teachers Abroad Program (TAP) taught in a secondary school in Zambia for three years. This was followed by four years at Garden Valley Collegiate in Winkler. Nine years in the classroom clarified priorities, and Janzen decided that it was in administration that he would like to utilize his skills . In the five years (1972-77) he and his family spent in Calcutta, India, as MCC country representative, he was doing what he loved best; organization and administration. liMy work became my life. I enjoyed it so much I could have worked around the clock." His responsibility included the MCC workers in Nepal. They were in economic projects like a small hydroelectric plant, a plywood factory, a wood-manufacturing plant. He became intrigued with the opportunity of doing something for people with a quickly visible result; employing people, producing a product, selling that product and leaving, knowing the work is self-generating. His work involved a lot oftravelling to various Mennonite churches, a good experience for the family. The children appear to have been very much influ-

enced by the overseas experience. They had interaction with MCC personnel, missionaries, and government people who came into the home. They were a very close family because "we did so many things together and leaned on each other a lot. In 1976 Neil and Herta, looking into the future, mapped out a 1O-year plan for themselves. They would return to Canada for up to 10 years, establish a home base with consideration for thei r children's education and a Mennonite church. Then, both wanted two years to study. They felt that the future ought to be connected with the international area. Finally, it must somehow be church-related. Seven years into that plan, they enjoy the ir home and church in Winnipeg. Sandra, 18, having finished first-year Engineering will be focusing on water-management irrigation, the sort of thing she observed overseas. Doug, 15 , finished Grade 9 at MBCI and is a whizz at the computer, vieing with his father on the unit at home. Neil and Herta did indeed launch upon courses in administrative study at the University of Western On tario, London, Neil graduating with an MBA. Herta, an RN and equally interested in branching into administration in her field, earned a BA. The third and fourth points in the plan have melded and resulted in a highly satisfying situation. During his administration studies Janzen had seriously projected, even designed a consulting company. When he and three other prospective partners lacked the capital to see this through, they shelved it temporarily. Providentially, that is when the II

in Bangledesh. In July Janzen with a resource person from U of M will be on a three-week assignment to Zambia (a welcome return there after 15 or more years) and Zimbabwe on a consulting basis, reviewing Canadian response to the interest in these countries to develop a regional food security system. On the domestic front, the motivation is to encourage both business and nonbusiness people to think in terms of integrating their faith and their market place activity. The convention is a major part of this program. This year's convention will focus on issues of conflict between Christians and how we might resolve these, not in the courts but in a church setting, between brothers and sisters in the church community. "The Marketplace" a journal for Christian and professional business people, edited by Dr. Cal Redekop, is a major tool of communication to the business community but also to the church. In it, international and domestic issues are dealt with. In thus communicating and bringing faith and economics together "we might even come to see all production and consumption, as well as the bread and wine on the altar, as something God can make holy." The Janzens still talk about future overseas service. But there are three years to go in the lO-year plan, though they are not bound by that. With Neil and Herta committed to their fami Iy, but also to their respective professions (Herta, in her position as administrative assistant in Donwood Manor, combines both her nursing skills and her administrative training) they have attempted to equalize home responsibilities. Ifweekend cooking did not come entirely naturally to the father of the family, he feels the effort is worthwhile. Most importantly, they have always supported each other at home and professionally, "without which we could not have survived."

A First Experience in Civil Disobedience by John Friesen Part One: Preparing for an Action

CiVil disobedience is an activity that is misunderstood by many. Those who engage in it are often seen as lacking in certain desirable qualities, as people who do not respect law and order, have nothing better to do with their time, are naturally rebellious, irresponsible, and lack discipline. Or they are simply viewed as subversives, perhaps communists, anarchists, atheists, or , any other hastily ascribed label our often thoughtless and intolerant establish- ' ment attributes to things it does not understand . However, the immorality of . militaristic governments in today's nuclear age is being recognized by more thinking people every day. Churches are recognizing their role (and the meaning of the Gospel they often pay only lip-service to) and are joining the peace movement. This could quite possibly result in the greatest mass movementin the history of civil disobedience, given the resistance of those in power to laying down what they perceive to be their most effective and most deadly weapon. Through out history civil disobed ience has played an effective role in helping to bring about positive social change. In rejecting the validity of civil disobedience we may fall into the trap of accepting the concept of unquestion in g obedience, which has come to be more widely rejected by the public, especially since the Nuremburg trials of the Nazi war criminals. Also since that ti me people are beginning to recognize that individuals are responsible both for their ac· tion s and for their inaction, that silence in the face of evil is complicity. 8 I mennonite mirror I june 1984

standin g. W e w ere fortunate to have Lynn Con nell, a fe llow m e mber of PAND and a dedicated anti-nuclear activist and veteran cd' er in our affinity group, helping us to prepare for the action . It is not unusual in the preparation session s for participants to alternate playing the role of the cd' er and that of a frustrated, impatient, and perhaps even hateful and violent policeman . Group members are also informed about past actions, the legal ramifications of the action, the possible levels of non-cooperation, what to expect of the police at the site, what to expect at the police station, how to dress for the occasion, the importance of so l idarity, and the role of the support people at the site and at the jail.

At 8:30 a.m. our buses arrived near the site in a north-western suburb of Toronto, and we disemarked at the parking lot of a restaurant, where the police were already very much in evidence. Seven or eight squad cars and a dozen or two policemen watched us carefully. Approximately 150 of us formed a large circle, we sang a song, listened to some last minute instructions, and then headed for the sidewalk to walk the 200 yards to the site of the action. As we started our trek along the sidewalk, police motorc ycles and cars crawled alongside us on the street. As we turned the corner we saw dozens of police on horseback lined up along the fence to our right. Other police were on foot, every few feet along the fence. A number of protestors offered timid "hellos, " "How are you this morning?, " and other ice-breakers. But these resulted in little response from the mostly stone-faced officers. There were more than a hundred uniformed policemen, and many plainclothed police wearing jeans and jackets, who were beginning to mix into our group. There were also dozens of horses and police cars, paddy wagons, and deep inside the property, large buses with barred windows. For many of us it was an unnerving sight. To keep our courage up we began to sing. The words were "civil disobedience" and the melody was "Good King Wenceslas. " It worked. Our confidence was buoyed up. We continued to sing as we walked alongside the five-foot high chain link fence we had come to climb over. We had arrived at Litton Systems. At the main-gate we stopped, gathered together in our groups, and made a final assessment of the situation to determine whether we had to make any last-minute changes in our plans. The decision

was to go ahead with the action as planned. One-hundred yards beyond the fence was the rather ordinary-looking, grey, suburban factory that was the target of our campaign. On the large ashphalt parking lot between the fence and the main entrance to the building were the police. Some were on horseback, some on foot, lined up like an army prepared to repel an enemy attack. Litton Systems is the Canadian arm of Litton Industries, a notorious international corporation fast becoming a world leader in the development and production of military weapons, supplies, systems, and facilities. Litton In-

dustries, a profitable American-based corporation in a high growth indu stry, with a reputation as the J. P. Stevens of the 1980's. Litton Systems is also the recent recipient of interest-free loans and grants totalling more than 50 million dollars from Canadian taxpayers, and builder of the essence of the dead ly Cruise missile, its technologically sophisticated guidance system, a most frightening escalation in the nuclear arms race. It is a weapon that might well destroy the possibility of achieving any success in negotiating nuclear arms reducti o n agreements between the superpowers. It s small size mak es satellite sur-

Its accuracy and ability to duck under radar make it perfect for America's publicly admitted pl ans fo r a possible first-strike surgical nucl ea r attack. This is Canada's contributi o n to peace on earth . Although our action that day was not the first directed at Litton, it was the largest c ivil-disobedience action for disarmament in Canada's history. In a few minutes, sixty-four of us would go over the fence and be arrested for the provincial offence of trespassing, spend the day in jail, and face conviction in court. M any of us, probably most of us, for the first time. A similar number had already been arrested on two separate occas ions at Litton earlier that week. A total of 727 protestors arrested that week would in a few months time result in the largest po litical joint trial in Canada's history. See ing the faint outline of peace doves sandblasted on the grey cement wall of the main building reminded me of how Litton had been the focus for peace activists for a number of years. It was surprising how the sight of those doves raised the spirit and gave

the event even more meaning. They had been painted on the wall the previous year by members of the Cruise Missile Conversion Project. They were arrested for it. Litton had carefully sandblasted the paintings, leaving the outlines etched into the cement. The CMCP had been working for four years towards conversion of Litton 's military production to production which meets human needs. It had sponsored public discussions, done research on Litton Industries, and its members had met with workers at the plant to discuss peace conversion . They had also attempted to get together with Litton president Ronald Keating and his executives to discuss conversion , but with no success. Three months later, a group of church people (including Mennonites), all members of Christian Initiatives for Peace, began a 24-hour vigil outside Litton's main gate, and vowed to remain there until Ronald Keating agreed to a meeting to discuss proposals to convert Litton to peaceful production.

in my mind about who would be ca lling the shots. The armed police were there to protect the makers of arms from the unarmed; to use violent means to protect the promoters of violence from the non-violent. Their presence reminded me of the accounts of bruta I ity friends in the peace movement had related to me. I decided not to think too much at that point about what the reaction of the police might be. The Metro Police m otto To Serve and Protect, ' emblazoned on the doors of the yellow police cruisers began to take on a new m ean c ing for me. Ken Hancock, a founding member of CMCP and of the Alliance for Non-Violent Action, had told me how three policemen had held him down whil e another beat him with his fists . When Ken rem inded him that he had no intention of resisting, the officer pressed his face close to him and hissed, "I wish you wou Id! " Another member of CMC P, Len Deroches, a most gentle and com mitted pacifist, told me how he had been thrown into Toronto's East Detention Centre, and then put into "th e hole" (solitary confinement), on the trumped up charge of destroying prison property. Pressured by his hunger strike and growing resistance outside the prison, he was finally allowed to see a lawyer who managed to get him out of solitary confinement. Weeks later prison officials were found guilty of violations in their treatment of Len. He is one of those rare individuals, a Christian who has committed the past dozen or so years to working for peace, and about whom you get the impression that he wouldn't 'hurt a fly.' Also visible from where we were standing was a reminder of what happens when one accepts the morality of the state and its institutions, and adopts the strategies and tactics of the establishment. It was the first time I had seen the crude plywood structure that covered the hole created by the blast from the Litton bombing two years ago. That unfortunate incident had provided the police with an opportunity to put tremendous pressure on the legitimate peace movement. Telephone wire-taps were put on more than a dozen (official count) people, a number of them acquintances of mine. Ken Hancock's home was raided , papers removed, files ransacked and taken away. His wife and children were not allowed into their own home. He was not allowed to use his telephone. When he persisted and finally was allowed to telephone, the police interferred and interrupted him. They even

tried to pressure him into reading the statement that had been telephoned in by the bombers, even though the police had admitted it had been a female voice. There w ere also attempts by the police to pressure women in the peace movement into reading the statement into a tape-recorder. Fortunately, and for obvi ous reasons, they refused to comply. Offi c ials of course hoped that the raids, detentions and arrests of innocent people would have the effect of casting a shadow of suspicion over the non-violent peace movement and keep peopl e from becoming involved in it. Whether this is an effective method of discrediting a movement can easily be assessed by the reader answering this question. Would the continued police investigation, raids of homes, and arrests of participants in the peace movement have any affect on whether or not you yourself became a participant? As I looked around at my fellow cd'ers, I realized how little I knew about them, how few I had really got acquainted with. However, most of us there that day held certain beliefs in common. One was our opposition to what we believed was a crime against humanity that eclipsed any that had gone before in the history of humankind. Another was a rejection of the moral standards of our government. Perhaps another was our need to act responsibly, to demonstrate our opposition to violence and our committment to non-violence. Most of us probably had some knowledge of, and respect for the past leaders of the movement, such as Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King. A sense of urgency, a fundamental element of civil disobedience, was also common to us all. Not all of us were necessarily pacifists. Political analyses and agendas also varied, but it is safe to assume that most of us rejected the moraiity of governments that promote human exploitation, militarism and the use of instruments of mass destruction . All of us deplored the deprivation and death such economies inflict upon innocent people here and elsewhere. All of us were concerned and angry, and not willing to accept all the rules of behaviour as set forth by the state to protect its power and the status quo. Military spending amounts to hundreds of billions of dollars every year, or 1.3 million dollars each minute . Every minute 22 chi Idren die for lack of those very resources. Twelve weeks out of the world 's annual military budget could eradicate extreme poverty around the world and provide food, clothing, shel-

ter, and medical care for everyone. Certain conclusions are inescapable! Some readers may have seen the research on militarism and development by Ernie Regehr at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies at Conrad Grebel College in Waterloo. Much of it has been published in the Project Ploughshares' Monitor. A few minutes later we all gathered before the main gate and formed a circle. Spokespersons for the affinity groups made public statements expressing their reasons for being there that day. Then we spread out along the fence . Those who recognized the scruffily-dressed plainclothed police among us, pointed them out. "Look out for this one. He's not a supporter - he's a policeman. He 'll start pushing, kicking, and punching, like he's done before. So stay clear of him! " After this warning there was a brief moment of silence. The 'men in blue' on the other side of the fence were poised and ready. Suddenly, without a signal, like a wave rolling up onto the beach, 65 people rushed the fence and began climbing over.

(rlln) the Roet's worH . HOW MANY MOMENTS? I wake up early to take my turn plowing dry golden-yellow wheat stubble. Barefooted I walk to the field keeping in the cool furrow freshly sliced by the plow. Grasshoppers rattle instiff stubble. Looking to the east I taste velvet twilight halfway between stars and sun as the early purple pours over the field . After five hours breathless bri" iant heatwaves, dizzy on the open brown stubble will rise from the plain. How many moments like these? How many?

SWALLOWED BY SKY Swallowed by sky, sun the furrow crowding closer and closer I stand in the deserted farm yard beside a barn weathered by winter, bent by wind: old pump house, corn crib, corn cobs pungent manure pile my only company. Proud, my wheels still turn, tail still wags in the wind inviting people to come back, keep my company, enjoy blue breeze, horizon, solitude, fresh water pumped from earth. Alone, I am alone, but not as lonely as those who left.

SPRING TO SUMMER, 1984 by Roy Vogt • Spring is a flirty season. In the past few months we have been taunted by beautiful days of sunshine, followed by even longer periods of cold rain and snow, and high, dry winds . Relatives arrive from Vancouver and Ontario to attend the wedding of a niece. Our last letters to them described the warm sunny days of early April, so they come with thin summer dresses for the ladies and short pants for the youngest boy. When we wake up on the wedding day the ground is as white as the bride's dress. Welcome to Manitoba! The w edding is a warm occasion despite the cold. One senses that the couple means it for life, and given their sincere religious convictions and strong supporting family and church community we have every good reason to be optimistic about the future of their marriage . Having officiated at more than 150 weddings myself, I am painfully aware of how difficult it is to predict success or failure in this, the most exciting and demanding adventure that we have been given to enjoy. The emotions that accompany love and marriage almost inevitably harbour manyillusions. When I come before our Maker I will ask (and I assume that questions are allowed in heaven) why this should be so. Why can't love, and the infatuation that accompanies it at certain stages, walk hand in hand with reason? Blessed are those whose illusions are small; who discover afterwards that they had been given clarity in the important things. Those of us whose marriages have seemingly been blessed have no reason to be proud, but every reason to be thankful. The dream turned out to be in harmony with reality. I rejoice with those who succeed. There is, of course, no reason in the world why we should try·to add to the significance of our own apparent success by condemning the apparent failure of others. • Spring also means the end of university classes, examinations, and the chance to catch up on reading and research. The sight of more than 1,000 students sweati ng over a lengthy written exam which will more than likely have

a great bearing on their future, remains for me, even after several decades, a rather awesome spectacle. There are those who question the usefulness of such a tortuous series of final examinations. Why not evaluate students entirely onthe basis of numerous smaller tests and assignments during the course of the year? I find it difficult to defend the necessity of "final" exams, and suspect that their use is somehow related to the Christian notion of a final judgment day. In any case, the students suffer through them once more, countless papers are graded, far-reaching decisions are made, and the year officially comes to an end. Now the batteries must be recharged. I have at least two dozen books on my desk that I hope to read this summer, so that my students next year will be given some fresh thoughts. Ideas have also been percolating in the brain which need to be developed and tested by submitting them, in the form of journal articles, to the critical examination of other scholars in the field. Students applying for jobs, and for admission to other universities, require letters of reference. Hundreds of students from other universities are simultaneously applying for admission to our department, and their previous results must be evaluated. In other words, there are things to do even though classes are over. This year we are also choosing a new department head. In keeping with our understanding of democracy, we have achieved the right to nominate our own "boss," and we expect that the nomination will be accepted by those who make the final decision. The field of economics is more ideological than some others and the two professors nominated for the position of department head have quite different approaches to economic issues. One is quite "left wing," and the other is much more conservative. The nominating committee polls all the members of the department, including graduate students, for their preferences, and finally a decision is reached and forwarded to the dean. The final decision will, of course, not please everyone, but at least the person chosen to lead us in the next

three years will immediately have the confidence of a majority of the members, and if he turns out to be a poor choice we have no one to blame but ourselves. • A few nice days in May cause the leaves and the grass to grow in our yard, and unfortunately also the weeds and the dandelions. There is lots of yard work to be done. No one in our family has a green thumb so it is simply a good dose of Presbyterian perversity ("suffering is good for you") that motivates us to turn our hand to gardening. My wife is not satisfied with my initial proposal, namely, to think of dandelions as beautiful flowers , not weeds, and leave them grow. Weeds they are and out they must go! By July, when it is too hot, we should be able to sit back and enjoy our lawn and patio. • The long week-end in May takes us to our cottage on the east shore of Lake Winnipeg, for the "grand opening." This consists mostly of hot, dirty work under the cottage trying to get the plumbing system into shape. If it wasn't foran extremely helpful neighbour the only running water we would have is the kind you run for from the lake. I am always amazed how much discomfort we are willing to suffer in order to make life comfortable for ourselves. Still, it takes only a day to make things work, and early the next morning as I sit reading by the window and watch the light slowly coming over the lake I know that it is all worthwhile. • Five mornings one week in May are devoted to the conquering of a fear that has disturbed me for many years now. I refer to my fear of computers. Most young kids now move directly from baby bottles to computer keyboards, butthose in my generation are mystified and even terrified by this new technology. I have known for sometime that a computer, particuarly one with a wordprocessor, could be extremely useful in my work, but it took me till this May to enroll in a course. It is a "hands-on" course, meaning that we work directly with a computer, and no previous knowledge is assumed. That is ideal for me, and the course proves to be extremely helpful. After a week I am more mennonite mi"or / june 1984 / 13

aware than ever of how I ittle I know about computers, but I have overcome my fea r of them and am anxious to get one. We now have several computer magaz ines lying around the house and I find them as interesting as anything else that I have read recently. Just being able to use the jargon is a satisfying experience, though it doesn't always make you user-friendly with others. • M ay is a family-centered month in many ways. Mother's day features a very mea ningful child-dedication service in our church and a chance to dine out with our parents. This is also the month when better-half turns 39 for the second or third year in a row, and when we ca n ce lebrate another wedding anniversa ry. We have the new thrill of getting long-distance calls from children livin g away. Some of them even come on the ri ght day. • The last day in May takes me tQ Regin a, where several of us go over the editori'11 work of a scholarly journal called Prairie Forum, published by the University of Regina. It is good to be abl e to fly in and out the same day. • We look forward to the first wedding in our family in June, which will be followed by a trip to Edmonton for a sec o nd w edding reception. August should find us in Austria , Hungary, and the Soviet Union, with about 45 other travell ers . The world remains an exciting place and w e hope to catch a glimpse of a little more of it before we return to this publication in September. May you also find peace and relaxation this summer.

Genosse von Gerhard G. Thiessen

Ais 1941 die deutschen Truppen in der Molotschna Kolonie einmarschierten, fanden sie in den meisten Darfern nur Greise, Frauen und Kinder vor. Gemass guter deutscher Ordnung, musste doch jedes Dorf oder jede Gerneinde einen Vorsteher haben. So wurde auch Onkel Teichroeb zum BOrgermeister ernannt. Onkel Teichroeb war beil eibe nicht die richtige Person fUr so einen Posten . Erstens war er kein Landwirt, sondern ein Gartner dessen Steckenpferd es war, Fruchtbaume zu veredeln, und er war gut darinnen . Zweitens war er ein sehr gutmOtiger Mensc h; konnte keinem etwas zuleide tun; sprach jedes Kind mit "Sie" an; war die Ruhe seiber (wie man so zu sagen pflegte), und liess jeden ausreden was immer sie zu sagen hatten ehe er antwortete. Drittens war er wohl mit der damaligen Regierung nicht einverstanden, und das Wort "Genosse" ist sehr selten Ober seine Lippen gekommen . Seiner Pflicht als BOrgermeister waltend, ernannte Onkel Teichroeb nun Aron Regehr als Pferdeaufseher. Damit hatte er bestimmt das richtige getroffen. Ihm war keine andere Wahl geblieben, denn es gab keinen anderen Jungen im ganzen Dorf der besser mit pferden umzugehen verstand als Aron. Er war doch sozusagen mit den pferden aufgewachsen. So war es auch nicht verwunderl ich , dass Aron seine Arbeit mit einem gewissen Stolz versah. Aron war trotz seiner jungen Jahre nicht auf den Mund gefallen, und hatte viel Mut. So fanden wir, die wir auf SchOtzenPanzergraben gewesen waren, nach dreimonatlicher Abw esenheit unser Dorf wieder: unser Erscheinen wurde natUrlich begeistert begrOsst; waren doch unter uns noch etliche Manner, auch wurden die pferde notig gebraucht zum Einbringen der noch gebliebenen Ernte.

Am folgenden Morgen , nach unserer ROckkehr, begab es sich von seiber, d ass wir Jungens uns beim Pferdestall trafen (so bei sechs an der Zah!), wo Aron selbstverstandlich der Chef war. Da diskutierten wir Ober verschiedene Angelegenheiten als Onkel Teiehroeb im Stall erschien und grOssend schnurstracks auf die Boxe zuging, wo Aron sich befand, mit den Worten: "Aron , ich brauche heute ein Fuhrwerk. Ich muss nach Gnadenfeld fahren. " Uns Jungens hatte die Neugi erde noch etwas naher herangelockt, wi e Aron dies e Angelegenheit meistern wOrde. Wir benatigten doch aile pferde zur Ernte. Aron trat aus der Box mit den Worten: "Genosse Teichroeb-" Weiter kam Aron nicht. Hier schnitt (zu unser aller Staunen) Onkel Teichroeb ihm das Wort ab: "Aron, Sie sollten wissen, dass die Genossen jetzt hinter dem Ural sind". Er sprach das ruhig und gelassen als ob man jemanden belehren wolle. ,,50, und jetzt spann mir einen Wagen an, denn ich muss unbedingt naeh Gnadenfeld. Bin dorthin beordnet worden; und gib mir bitte nicht das wildeste Pferd" . Ohne ein Wort zu sagen, fUhrte Aron die ihm aufgetragene Arbeit aus. Welches wiede rum bei uns Jungens grosses Erstaunen ausloste: Aron der Redner, und den Mund halten . Naeh getaner Arbeit setzte sich Onkel Teichroeb auf das Fuhrwerk und fuhr se iner Wege . Aron dagegen musste noch lange den Spott wegen des ,Genossen ' Ober sich ergehen lassen. Keiner von uns konnte ja ahnen, dass die Genossen wiederkehren wOrden ; und uns zum Verhangnis, ja sogar zur Flucht, bringen wOrden.

Neue Gedichte von Valentin Sawatzky Jakob Hutter Werbrannt als Ketzer 1536) M i t seinem neuen Gedichtband, "Einkehr", hat nun dieser unermudliche Dichter seine sechste Neuveroffentlichung und mindestens sein achtes Buch der Welt gegeben. 1958 erschien "Lindenblatter" mit einem Jugendbildnis des Dichters und mit einer Auswahl von Gedichten und Spruchen, die fur die spateren Veroffentlichungen den Ton angaben. 1962 folgten "Heimat· glocken", diesmal eine Sammlung von Lyrik und Balladen. "Friedensklange" erschienen 1971, wo einige Gedichte yom Verfasser ins Englische ubersetzt werden. Gedichte und Marchen unter dem Titel "Abendlicht" kamen 1977 heraus, gefolgt von einem weiteren Band ahnlichen Inhalts, betitelt "Eichenlaub". "Einkehr" ist nun seine dritte ·Sammlung von Gedichten und sehr kurzen Marchen und Essays. 1982 gab Sawatzky eine Auswahl aus den fruheren Banden unter dem Titel "Glockenlauten" heraus und neuerdings ist diese Auswahl in schoner AusfUhrung fUr den deutschen Markt im Verlag J. G. Blaschke (St. Michael) herausgebracht worden. Auffallend fUr den, an die mehr als schlichte Selbstverlagskost der Mennonitenliteratur seit J. H. Janzen gewohnte, ist der Unterschied, wenn eine solche Sammlung in einer schonen AusfUhrung erscheint. Es schadet dem Genuss der Gedichte wahrhaftig nicht. Ais Beispiele aus der neuesten Erscheinung "Einkehr" folgen hier zwei Gedichte die verschiedene Aspekte der Mennonitengeschichte feiern.

Der Taufergeist zog durch Europas Lande, Um da zu bleiben als bestandger Gast; So schlug er bis zum Suden seine Bande, Wobei auch Jakob Hutter ward erfasst. Gemeinschaft nach der Urgemeinde Bilde, Das war des Taufers Lebensideal; So sammelt er, geschutzt yom Glaubensschilde, Sich Geistesbruder in vermehrter Zahl. Doch war die Hoheit nicht auf seiner Seite, Es war die Zeit nicht reif fUr seinen Schritt; Er wird der unduldsamen Umwelt Beute, Sie rei sst auch andre Glaubensopfer mit. Man lasst dem Ketzer einen Ausweg wahlen, Wow die Technik eine Folter schuf; Doch wie ihn auch die Unduldsamen qualen, Aus Hutters Mund erschallt kein Widerruf. So fuhrt man ihn zum grausen Scheiterhaufen, Und bindet seinen Leib an einen Pfahl. Bald brennt das Holz, nun gibt es kein entlaufen, Und mit den Flammen steigert sich die Qual. Doch fUr den Taufer gilts, die Wahrheit wahlen So wie ihr Bild in seiner Seele steht; Er lasst die Peiniger der Gnad empfehlen Aus Rauch und flammen dringt sein Stossgebet ... Das Grab der Schergen liess die Zeit verwehen, Den Leib des Dulders brach das Flammenjoch, Doch Jakob Hutters seltsame Ideen, Sie starben nicht - und leben heute noch . Arnold Oyck

(1889-1970) Als Sohn aus altem Bauernhause Ergiff die Dichtung seinen Geist Und reifte in der Stillen Klause, Bis dass der enge Ring zerreisst. Er fand den Weg yom Steppenlande Hinuberin die Neue Welt, Wo er gelost von seiner Bande, Bewusst sein Lebenswerk bestellt. Es zeigt sein Werk die Welt der Vater, Patriarchalisch wie sie war, Und macht dem neuen Volksvertreter Vergangenheiten offenbar. Nun ruht er in der Ahnen Erde 1m Lande, das er tief geliebt, Befreit von irdischer Beschwerde, Entfernt von dem, was ihn betrubt. So blicken wir zu jenem Tage, Da seine Saat einst aufersteht, Und legen in die Schicksalswaage Das Beste, das nicht untergeht. (Aus EINKEHR, Gedichte und Marchen.

A German Hamlet on a Winnipeg Stage A review by Harry Loewen On April 26-27, 1984, Winnipeg's German-Mennonite community was treated to several firsts in dramatic art entertainment. The Winnipeg Mennonite Theatre, well known for its long tradition of artistic and musical productions, staged Shakespeare's great and demanding drama in the Playhouse Theatre. As if the play was not sufficiently difficult in Shakespeare's English, the Mennonite Theatre group presented Hamlet in August Wilhelm Schlegel's 18th- and 19th-century German translation. For the German-speaki ng spectators, however, such famous lines as "Die Zeit ist aus den Fugen ; Schmach und Gram / Dass ich zur Welt, sie einzurichten, kam!" and "Sein oder Nichtsein, das ist hier die Frage" ("The time is out of joint . . . " and "To be or not to be . .. "), sounded in this production as important, serious and poetic as in the original. From time to time, though , some of the well-known lines in the English Hamlet evoked smiles from the audience when they were spoken in German.

The always humorous grave diggers scene was even more humorous in the German version of the drama. Believe it or not, no doubt for the first time in the history of Hamletthe two clowns in the grave -( Henry Penner and Ernie Pankratz) discussed the subject of Ophel ia's suicide in the Low German language! The English bard must have turned in his grave when he heard his characters speak Manitoba-Mennonite Plautdietsch. The "BOhnenbild" of this Hamlet production was most impressive, the costumes were authentic, and the lighting and sound were of professional quality. While the Mennonite Theatre group lays no claim to professionalism, the acting in Hamlet was generally of a high quality, with only a few forgotten lines or embarrassi ng and awkward moments throughout the play. Henry Schroeder (Hamlet) projected a virgorous yet melancholic Prince of Denmark. At times his diction and pronunciation were not as clear and distinct as they might have been. King Claudius (Gerhard Wiebe) and Queen Gertrude (Catherine Enns) were in their

appearance and bearing "every inch" a royal pair, although they at times seemed to wait for their lines to speak rather than being naturally involved in the action. Horatio (John Martens) was a convincing friend of Hamlet and acted throughout in a dignified manner. PoIon ius (Horst Friesen), the meddlesome father of Laertes (Georg Steinhorn) and Ophelia and the advisor to the king, was delightful . His appearance, speaking and acting conformed to the image one has of the traditional Polonius. Oph eli a (Sabine Schneider) played her rol e most convincingly. Her love for Hamlet and her suffering and madness expressed vividly the pathos and tragedy of the drama's external and internal conflicts. This young actress deserves to be commended for playing a difficult role w ell. Others who played their roles very well were the two guards at the beginning of the play (Eric Lubosch and Michael Woelcke) and the two-faced Rosenkranz and Gueldenstern (Fred Janzen and Dieter Klein). David Riesen, the director, and his staff of the Mennonite Theatre group deserve our appreciation and gratitude not only for once again staging a fine and enjoyable performance but also for their efforts in promoting the German language, culture, literature and art in Manitoba. Efforts such as these should be supported in every way possible.

themselves a means to happiness, others were disillusioned or met with an untimely death . All had a tough stand in the new land. While the author focuses his attention on the immense contributions made by German-speaking individuals to this continent, he avoids any temptation to romanticize or become sentim ental about hi s subject matter. Thus the book does not come across as simply a "celebration" of Germans in North-America. On the contrary, the author does not hesitate to point out many negative aspects as w ell, and sometimes takes a merciless look at the shallow and unfounded pride some individuals take in their almost non-existing German background, or at the often totally unreal istic image of Germany to which some cling. He is also not afraid to expose provincialism and narrow-mindedness, as well as empty sentimentality when he meets them . The bulk of the work focuses on German-speaking communities and individuals of German origin in the United States as Lingin looks at representative communities founded by Germanspeaking peoples in his journey from state to state. In the final forty pages of the book the author takes a more concentrated look at the German-speaking peoples in Canada, commencing with the Mennonites in Manitoba, then the Kitchener area and finally at Berlin/ Kitchener itself. The concluding chapter is devoted to the Hutterites in Canada and the United States. Lingin relates the sometimes difficult times people of German origin have had in Canada, particularly during the war years. He also empathizes with their aspirations · and triumphs. Again, there is a no-nonsense approach to the subject as the author avoids even the slightest touch of sentimentality while displaying good insight and a benevolent understanding of his subject. The book is equipped with a detailed

The year 1983 marked the 300th anniversary of the first arrival of Germanspeaking settlers in North-America. Bernd Lingin, known to many as the editor of the Courier/ Nordwesten, marked this event with a book in which he took a closer look at the contributions of North-American settlers of German origin. As the preface informs the reader, this work grew out of a number of independent sketches the author had made of various German-speaking communities in North-America. While the author succeeded in tying these sketches together into a unified book, he managed to retain a fresh and straight-forward approach to provide the reader with fascinating, informative reading on a subject area that could easily have merely become a tedious catalogue of facts or, worse, a romantic tale of heroic deeds. The author takes the reader on an intimate tour of various German-speaking communities in North-America and assesses the various contributions of its citizens to this continent. He introduces us to the individuals who came to make up these settlements. Many belonged to religious groups seeking the freedom to practice their faith . But then there were also the professional soldiers, German

The appendices "Deutsche Orts- und St adte n am e n ", " lur Herkunft der Namen im einzelnen" and a "leittafel " are also extremely useful. ' Germantown, which incidentally sports a dedication by Governor-General Ed Schreyer, makes most fascinating reading. It is full of revealing facts and illu strated with excellent pictures many taken by the author himself. On every page the author's meticulous research and dedication to his work becomes ev ident. In a fresh and compl etely unpretentious style the author unfolds a fascinating kaleidoscope of facts and events before the reader's eye. He is to be congratulated for an excellent and meritorious work.

Ge rmantown - auf deutschen Spuren in Nordamerika will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in the co ntributions of the Germanspeaking peoples to our continent. Andre Oberle is Associate Professor of German at the University of Winnipeg.

(rlln) H:~:O~;rst It started with a plea for help. After three years of crop failures, several farm families in the Riverton area north of Winnipeg were on the brink of bankruptcy. Could M anitoba M ennonites do anything to help them? After some thought, the provincial M en nonite Central Committee said it would try. Although there was no precedent for such a project, an appeal was sent to the churches . The result: more than $90,000 in cash and seed grain donated in a few weeks and distributed to 35 of the neediest farmers. On M ay 7 the newly-created Emergency Farmers Fund committee met in Riverton to portion out the assistance. Henry Visch, the retired school adm inistrator who volunteered to organize the project, confirmed that 35 farmers were getting help, 19 of them Mennonites and 16 non-Mennonites. Vi sc h sa id he had been "completely overwhelmed" at the response to the appeal. The original goal of $50,000 had been met almost twice over. Mennonites donated $60,000 in cash (to be used to help buy fuel and fertilizer) and almost 6,000 bushels of wheat, barley and rape seed valued at $30,000. Visch explained that the plea for help had come in .March from several Mennonite farmers who were concerned about their neighbours. Farming in Manitoba's Interlake region is a challenge in the best of times, but for farmers in a well-defined pocket of land near Riverton the past three years have been disastrous . The weather had conspired against them at every turn . For many there was no seed left to plant and no cash or credit to buy more.

MCC Man;toba was reluctant

to get involved. Its main concern is overseas relief and development. But the need was there and fellow Mennonites were among the needy. Finally, an above-budget fund-raising project was launched to help "at least the Mennonite farmers." Soon truckloads of seed started moving north from the more prosperous Mennonite farms in the south. Designated contributions flowed in from town and country churches alike. As the totals grew, the Mennonite farmers in the affected area insisted that any aid should be shared on an equal basis with their Icelandic and Ukrainian neighbours. A person's need mustbe the first criterion for aid, they said, as it is with other MCC projects. Visch described the Emergency Farmers' Fund as "an act of encouragement, of cari ng, for people who are really down ." But it has to be seen as a stopgap measure, he added. "No way can we solve all the economic problems of the area." Next fall the possibility of providing a counselling or economic development advisory service for the farmers will be explored. Initially it had been hoped that the provincial government would match the dollars contributed by Mennonites, but the response was negative. Visch said he hoped the media attention focused on the aid plan would bring the plight of these farmers - who seem to have fallen through the existing agricultural safety nets- to the provincial gov~ ernment's attention. Says Visch: "Our goal was to help them seed a few hundred acres. And then, if the Creator is kind and the weather is good for a change, maybe it will be the beginning of a turnaround for them.

Herb Kopp, pastor of the Fort Garry Mennonite Brethren Church, has been named as the next editor of the Mennonite Brethren Herald. He will assume the editorship in the summer of 1985, and will be replacing outgoing editor Harold Jantz.

Landmark's 24·hour Fast Recently a special event took place for the grade 9 social studies class of Landmark. They raised almost $2,200 by conducting a fast, during which the 14 participating students and their teacher, Gareth Neufeld, refrained from eating for 24 hours. The project emerged from a course unit on food disparity, and its purpose was to provide an opportunity to take a more intense look at the question of food supply in the world; to make the question of hunger a little more real to the students by letting them experience a small dose of it; and to provide a way in which money could be raised to help people in Third World countries who are faced with food shortage. Each student found sponsors, whose donated money, totalling $2,180, was channeled through MCC Cash Projects (and UNESCO), and will support various projects overseas. The students chose to help buy milk goats for Brazil, provide refugee relief in EI Salvador, and support medical teams in Ethiopia.

The class began the fast on Thursday, May 17 at 5 p.m., and ended it on Friday, at the same time, during this time their only source of energy was a glass of orange juice every four hours; a treat that was amazingly looked forward to. Thursday evening the students watched movies and played volleyball, and received a "good luck" visit from the principal , John G . Reimer. During the night, three parents joined Mr. Neufeld in supervising the two groups, who found sleeping quarters in the two carpeted rooms of the school. Friday was spent listening to speakers, holding discussions, and viewing films relevant to the topic. One of the guest speakers, Dr. Raymond Martens, who has spent a number of years in Ethiopia and Tanzania, showed slides of the situation in the Third World, and explained characteristics of certain diseases which affect the hunger-stricken people. Another speaker, Dave Ringer from the MCC office, showed a film about the gardening projects in Native communities, explaining what kind of food-assistance can be done even near home. On Friday afternoon, the class viewed the movie Ghandi, a three-hour docudrama about the man in India who

MENNONITES WARY OF INTERFAITH TV Mennonite Radio and Television Council (MRTC) members meeting in Winnipeg on April 10 decided not to join the proposed Canadian Interfaith Television Network until the Canadian Mennonite conferences give the go-ahead. Members agreed to take the proposal back to their conferences for discussion and direction and asked the MRTC executive to attempt to gain cosensus for Mennonite involvement in the network. Discussion about the rei igious network, proposed by the Rosewell group, an umbrella organization representing Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian and United Churches, Crossroads Communications (producers of 100 Huntley Street), and Buddhist; Moslem, Hindu, Sikh and Unitarian communities, dominated the meeting. MRTC members wondered whether Mennonites could afford the $37,500 annual membership fee. "Can the money be better used for our own productions?" asked Dan Block of Mennonite Brethren Communications. The $37,500 membership fee would

give Mennonites 12 hours of program time per week on the religious channel. MRTC is supported by M ennonite Brethren, General Conference Mennonites, the Mennonite Church, the Evangelica l Mennonite Conference and MCC Canada. Itcoordinates inter-Mennonite med ia activity in Canada.
