Page Forty-four THE SAULT DAILY STAR WED JUNE 23 1971 Crippled priest credits recovery to faith Telephone call matter of life in Your hands going to leave it right there suddenly something very strange happened to me It was as though something was flowing through The sensation was as though he were in a trance but he recalled in his shoulders mind went numb They carried me out and lad me on the From that time he said he has been making steady progress And he has become active in the Order of St Luke and interested in the healing ministry a parish priest I feel this has been one of the ministries which has been neglected in the and ine of those who caused its As a minister he always implied to inquiring parishioners that the laying on of hands ceremony was sort of a rite Now enjoying life and thinking he will be well enough to return to work as a parish priest one day Mr Johnson said: Lord has me on His welfare" TORONTO (CP) A former Anglican priest who had to quit the active ministry when he became crippled with osteoarthritis says he now is making a recovery thanks to the Christian ministry of healing Rev Walter Johnson 52 who is living in Port Sydney Ont said in an interview that he gives the medical profession its due but attributes most of his healing to the spiritual approach Mr Johnson one of 300 registrants was here for the third all-Canadian conference on the ministry of healing under the auspices of the Order of Saint Luke the Physician Mr Johnson was only 41 years old when he was stricken witth the crippling disease From the deanery of Scarborough he moved to Caledon East a rural area But his condition became worse and he was finally taken to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto He spent four months in hospital and was confined to a wheel chair The church after reviewing the case made it possible for Mr Johnson to retire in 1965 HEALTH GOT WORSE An attack of fibrositis that year aggravated Mr health problems giving the symptoms of a heart attack For three more years his health continued to get worse and once again he was taken to hospital in Toronto Doctors told him only to lose weight In desperation he called Rev Lloyd Hoover a friend who was active in the ministry of the laying on of hands His wife drove him to Mr church in Sundridge Ont despite Mr opinion that he was not well enough to make the 65-mile trip from his home in Port Sydney After receiving the laying on of hands Mr Johnson said he enjoyed his first full sleep in years without resorting to aspirin or other drugs miraculous thing: It began a whole chain of events which led to the Order of St Luke and coming to Toronto for the first Canadian conference on healing conducted by Dr Alfred Price the former warden of the OSL held in Mr Johnson recalled that he was feeling very ill when he arrived at the church His attitude when he went to the altar with other people was: got to heal me Do something for me Other people have been healed Why You do something for TOOK NEW APPROACH But nothing happened On the third night he took a different approach and said: LOIRE VALLEY CASTLE The Loire Valley is a paradise for castle lovers There are more than 100 of them in the area The Chateau de Chenoneeaux called the castle of heart is functioning properly It would be a serious problem for Mr 75 if the batteries in his pacemaker ran down without his knowledge It is this small device which auto-matically restores normal rhythm to his heart whenever his chronic cardiac ailment causes it to get offbeat (the batteries) last about two he said in an interview is my fourth It was inserted in 1969 so due for the operation to put in a new one The first was installed in So that he and the hospital will know exactly when a re-placement is needed Mr calls the institute every Monday and Thursday Before making the call however he opens a little black box puts an electrode under each arm and a third between his Kps Then he dials the number and asks for a certain extension in the pacemaker clinic WATCH FOR SIGNAL Once given the go-ahead Mr fits the telephone receiver into the box and presses a button to transmit the bleeps from his heart to an electrocardiograph connected to the clinic phone In this way the clinic technician can detect the first weakened signals It takes another three weeks for the battery to a safe margin for arranging a replacement Dr Claude Meere said that about 500 patients have been equipped with pacemakers since the institute implanted its first in 1961 The first recipient now is 83 Telephone checks he said began in March and save the patient frequent trips to the hospital Out-of-towners can call long distance Pacemakers are embedded in the abdomen and connected by wire to the heart in one of two ways: suturing on the surface of the organ after a simple incision or insertion into the heart by way of a vein Eighty per cent of all pacemakers function well without battery failure for about 30 months

to law- WASHINGTON (AP) A reform-minded committee of the American Bar Association has recommended an ethical facelifting far the 15000 state and federal judges in the United States The committee formed in response to unrest over judicial moonlighting concluded the isolation of judges from society would be neither possible nor wise However the committee said judges should report all outside pay shun undignified jobs drop out of all cases in which they have a financial interest and promptly sell off stock that would often cause ill yers and the news media Adoption depends on approval by the ABA next year and on state supreme courts and state legislatures which set ethical rules for state and municipal judges The US Judicial Conference which was considering new standards for the federal judges has decided to mark time and probably will follow the ABA lead The seven new canons would read this way: judge should uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary judge should perform the duties of his office fairly and diligently judge may engage in activities for the improvement of the law the legal system and the administration of justice judge should regulate his extra-judicial activities so as to minimize conflict with his judicial duties judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of his activities judge should regularly file reports of compensation received for quasi-judicial and extra-judicial activities judge should not engage in political activity except to the extent necessary to obtain or retain judicial office
