Dear Mr. James: Death and taxes are the only two things of which we can be sure in this changing world. Neither one of Which we can do much about I am sorry to say. However, on the subject of taxes we can, at least, voice an opinion and that is what I would like to do at this time. I have conconed the institution of Regional Government only because I have had to, but the lack of communication between local gov- ernment and the lowly people looms larger and larger every day. For instance, did anyone see an ad proclaiming the fact our second instalment was due on May 21, 1974? Let me tell you of my experience! Monday was one of the most frustrating days I have ever put in! ToWards the end of last week a neighbor told me taxes were due so I immediately phoned Town of Newcastle offices and was informed - yes taxes were due on May 21st. I inquired if the penalty was in force and'was told no penalty would be charged until June 1, 1974. Monday morning I went to C.I.B of C. in Newcastle where they were IIWC4 Social anc ;On Tuesday, May 21, Mrs. Charles Aquilina accompan- ied by Mrs. Douglas Walton at tended a Graduation Tea for the 1974 graduates of North York General Hospital, Beth- esda Training Centre Nursing Assistant class. Among those to graduate from this course this month is Miss Gayle Adair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Aquilina. The formal tea, bonoring the graduates, was held at the JOHN F. Generai Insurance PIRE and AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Contact : HARRY VOERMAN 623-3111 or 623-3950 33 KING ST. E. BOWMANVILLE going to charge the penalty - refused to pay - and went to To Hall in Bowmanville. Here. I y told I had to pay the penalty in sp of the inf6rmation I received fror member of their staff. Finally acquiesced at which time I was tol could not pay the taxes at the To Hallbut only at the bank. Being in Bowmanville, I weni the nearest bank - B. of M. - corner King and Temperance Sts. ' know it - no luck there - taxes , aid at the C.I. B. of C. this yeai rove back to Newcastle and fina got my taxes paid! This sou funny as I write this but at the tin was so frustrated .... Communications certainly is answer to my problems and lots other taxpayers I imagine. Ot] years our local councils have tai the opportunity and the COURTE to let us lowly people know wl taxes were due and for the life of I don't understand why our n council cannot offer the sa: courtesy. It surely can't be becat they are trying to save money!! In closing if anyone knows wI the next instalment of taxes is du would appreciate them inform me so I can be prepared! An agitated taxpayer, (Mrs.) Margaret Brereton r Personal Missionary Help Institute in Willowdale. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hugh- es and Chris, Brownsville, motored Friday, May 24, to Waterloo, Ont., to attend the graduation exercises of Wat- erloo University where their son and brother graduated as Bachelor of Enviromental Studies. Congratulations David! Congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Ted Walton who were married in Newcastle United Church on Saturday. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Pearce and the groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Walton. The summer season being upon us (at least according to the calendar) your local Recreation Committee wishes to report summer activities are being whipped into shape. Thanks to the co-operation of the Town of Newcastle Recreation Comm., under the leadership of Mr. Bud Fan- ning, our Community Park bas been cleaned up, painted and made ready for ball. In fact some of the girl's teams have already been out for short workouts. Boys hardball and soccer are on the planning board and of course the Red Cross Swimming classes will be held at Waltona Park Pool. The staff this year is headed by Miss Mary Grace Paterson. A half-day Playground program will be conducted at the Community Park so you see if the weatherman ever co- operates these summer acti- vities will be in readiness. Some of the Fall and Winter activities are just now winding up their lessons, for instance the Youth Bowling League will be having its end-of-season party in the very near future and the Baton class are now practising for their June Recital which will be held the first Wednesday of June. Be sure to keep your ears and eyes open for more informa- tion on all these events. Mrs. Florence M. Ferguson returned home on Monday after spending a few delightful days with her granddaughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Don Sykes in Elora, Ont. We have received stories about people thoughtlessly riding horses on the side- walks~of the village. Several complaints have been voiced because not only are they a nuisance to the pedestrian but they also invariably leave their calling card, which, to say the least, is obnoxious. The front street seems to receive the brunt of the onslaught. In the first place we wonder if this is legal and secondly, being an animal lover, horses have their place but it certainly isn't on the streets (sidewalks in parti- cular) of a town or village. Now, to inject a personal note! This is my last effort as your correspondent and it is with a deep sense of regret I am quitting, however because I don't exactly agree with the manner in which this column has been handled I feel it is necessary to give it up. I have thoroughly enjoyed my so- journ as the editor (for want of a better title) of the Newcastle Independent and may I wish my successor every success. In closing, may I thank all who have taken the time and trouble to send in items for publication, you certainly made my task easier. Thank you also to the management of the Statesman for their co- operation and interest. Margaret Brereton.

Sunday School Anniversary In the United Church Rev- erend John Hill, of columbus, was the guest speaker for the Sunday School Anniversary. Choosing "Gathering the Past Today", as the topic for his message he read John 6:1-15. This is the story of the Miracle of the five loaves and two fishes when Jesus said "Gath- er up the fragments that remain that nothing be lost. Fragments have been import- ant in Biblical times. Frag- ments made up verses in the Bible and together these fragments made up the sixty- six books in the Bible. In everyday life of today it is also important to gather up the fragments. They provide the opportunities of today and the history of tomorrow. The Primary Class sang "B-I-B-L-E" and "Behold, Behold". The Junior Choir favored with "His Sheep Am 1" and "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow".

The good mother is slow to anger, is unselfish and puts love first. Happiness is not in things. More love is needed. Good wives are ne- cessary for establishing good homes. Mrs. Jackson donclud- ed this splendid message with prayer. Mrs. Fish thanked Mrs. Jackson for her inspiring message. Miss Gail Malcolm read a poem, "Mother Love" and she and her mother, Mrs. Law- rence Malcolm, sang "My God and 1". The roll call "A Bible Verse on Family Living" was well answered. Mrs. Wilfred Vine, secre- tary, read the minutes of the April meeting and the corres- pondence. A card was signed for a hospital patient. Fin- ances were reported re the Musical evening, bazaar, and church dinner. Results were most gratifying. Mrs. Lawrence Malcolm in charge of the Topic, took her message from "Love and Laughter" by Marjorie Hol- mes. People have their pri- vate pattern in their relations with.God. They'are sustained and secure in their faith. Mothers are seldom atheists. There are few atheists in the delivery room in the miracle of birth. An ambulance is no place for atheists. Prayers of thanksgiving are said when a daughter arrives safely home. Mrs. Ralph Sadler read "Sunset and After Glow". The blazing sunset is followed by the after glow which gives the light of hope and faith for a new day. The reading "So Poor So Rich" by Mrs. Doug Thompson told tne story o a mother and her son. Wealth does not mean having money but it has having good feet, good eyes, good hands and a good mouth. People are judged by wiat comes out of the mouth. Mrs. L. Malcolm read "A Busy Mother Prayer" and Mrs. Jackson, a poem ASPHALT SHINGLES 210 LB. - SELF-SEAL IN CHOICE OF EIGHT COLORS Participation House - Osh- awa, is a project of the Oshawa and District Cerebral Palsy Parent Council for Crippled Children Incorporat- ed; a non-profit organization operating in Ontario under letters patent granted August 21, 1973.

'POP' in Livestock Feed Canadian livestock may soon have 'POP' added to their feed. POP doesn't mean our livestock developed a sweet tooth, but rather POP stands for Pasteurized Organic Pro- tein extracted from animal waste. Agriculture Canada will spend $34,000 to buy machi- nery and drying equipment designed to segregate and dry animal waste to develop a protein concentrate for live- stock feed.
