'GO' service Reports that Ontario's GO tran- sit hune will be extended east of Pickering to Oshawa, have been denied by goverument officiais. "The report (first publshcd by a Toronto, uewpaper) is ab- solutely without foundatiou and categorically deuied," a spokes- man for the commuter service aong the Lake Ontario shoreline said in a statement Saturday. One year ago during a speech in Oshawa, Charles MacNaughton, then Ontaio's highways mirýster, said a decision to extend GO would not be made until 1969, after studies weme made on the- first few years of operation. That position bas not pubiiclyý been altered.

H1e forrned it and that was sculpture. H1e varied it and coloured it and that was painting. He, gave a whisper to the wind, a roar to the waves and that was music. H1e then peopled it with living beings and that was the drama of freedom. But man misused bis freedom and turned bis back on God and crowning al, 1He gave us lis Son in Christ and tbat was the Divine Eterual Draina. Witb these gifts of beauty and life and redemption, our role lu tbis brief moment of time is to reflect tbe Giver. This is the world in wbicb we live.- Yet witb ail it bas to give, the earth bas littie meauing witb- out us. The land is rnerely soul and vegitation witbout iman ta cultivate it, plant it, take food from it. Our higbways are just ribbons of concrete forrning aim- less patterns across the country- side, unless tbey are used for mq'n to reýCch out to man, Tbe city streets are soundless, lined wIth asonry and plate glass un- tii they are made a breatbhiug place of commerce between peo- pie. Men and wornen communi- cating tbeir needs to one another, serving one another, sbaring the fruits of their labours. The bouse becomes more than just boards and bricks when it is iived in and made a borne by a loving and sharing farnily. Man's use of God's gifts gives the eartb and its riches a fulrneaning and usefuluess. Tbe human mind and the. heart have built the civilized world we know today. Our ivent- ivcness bas surroundcd us witb creature cornforts. But it is the love and the liking and'tbe friend- ship we share witb one another ecd day that puts the joy, into living. .These acts of giving and shar- ing are performed each day by each of us. We are conscious of the ways .wc give to those wc love. But more often than not we are unaware of the way our deeds touch upon the lives of those unkown to us. We give our- selves to our ioved ones and friends with complete awareness of thc joy it brings. As Christians vwe are committed to give ourseives just as com- pieteiy to unknown bauds out- stretcbed to us from the other side of' our cities, from across our nation, from other parts of the world. Christ calîs ecd of us to use our abilities to build' and shape the' things about us. Some thîngs we do are easy, others are difficuit, Some things please us, others disappoint us. Each of us bas opportunity to comfort, strengtben and belp those around us. But what can just one person do or give or share that wili have any reai significance to the world. The act of giving can be corn pared to throwing a stone into water. A stone spiashes into the water and sinks to the bottom. A thing donc. Yet the effect'of circles around us, touching first one person and then another and another. Until finally*even though we rnay feel the gift too srnall to have any effect, it reaches a des- tination. We may not know how or where or wben, but we wîll know "WIY." It begins within ourselves. This need to share love and laughter and buman experience. We cher- ish the feeling we have wben we (Contiî ued' on pa-e 4) Four,0f Five On .Coirneil T RunJ Alex Carruthers, and Russell Rowe, MPPs for Durham and Northumberland, were among the 20,0001 Canadians to receive cen- tennial medals recently.
