Editor No Retreat on Star Wars To think that the -research phase" of the so- called Star Wars endeavour in the United States will end with only research is sadly mistaken. And furthr il does neot only involve the United States but Canada and many other nations especially in the European arena. Star Wars can be nothing else than another phase in the arms race with the Soviet Union. We would nlot like to bet that it will be a detereent or that in some magical manner bring the Russians to a stance of real negotia tienis. We feel our money would certainly be safer if wagered on another beginning in the arms race excelera- tion with the two major countries developing new and deadiier weapons. Holding a club over someone's head is hardly the manner in which to approach sensible Inegotiations if, one expects favourable resuits. One might as well stay hopie and surge ahead with the arms race and save ail the waste of time that the negotiations would take. We would expect that the Star Wars program other than supposedly being a deterrent is one that does provide economic rewards and this may niçe than anything else be just cause for Reagan to embaron the program. Canada as well is to benefit economically and it has been pointed out that European Countries are now, being asked to provide funding for the program. U.S Defence Secretary Casper Weinberger has already made the statement that there will be no retreat from Star Wars and from a space system that would protect the United States and European allies from nuclear missile attack. No truer words have been spoken. 1Council sets 1985 budget 'the Town of Newcastle counicîl on Monday night set their 1985 budget with a 2.03 percent increase. Although Coune. Hobbs was looking for a fur- ther drop in the budget by takeîng out the $200,000 allotted to, the administrative building and later. by deleting some $1 10,000 from unclassified administra- tion. Hobbs was unsuccessful in gaining support from any member of council for his reductions.

The wr(iter seems to have delusions of grandeur. I find it liard to believe that one cnuld pen such an -article with any kind of seriousniess. The writer seemns to have been swept away by the trendy fashion of wom-.e's Liberation now fouind in some social circles. As is noted thiere are 71 business women iii downitowni Orono but it is not pointed out that a vast majorîty of these women have been thlere for many years. The-y have been an integral part of Orono commerce but neyer- had the need f0 pat themnselves on the back publicly o r trumpet themnselves as part of the great liberated as your "Joanie - corne - lately has done. I have a great deal of respect for anybody who can accomplish any projeet they set out fo do. I cannot however take with any kind of seriousness the argument put forth by your writer con- sidering the short timne she hias been involved in downtown Orono. A businýess person does not complete his or her appren- ticeship unitl he or she has coaxed and prayed through bad times and struggled to build a stable business that contributes to its community. The statements of your writer would carry a lot more weight if she, like many other, strug- gled to start and build a business while dealinig with the full specfrumn of problems (mnortgages, famifly support etc.) mnost people deal withi. t onfly hope that we are not going to be subjected to ahi K&endal News A Good Woman She has a mind and kniows it; she hias a will and shows it; She sees the way and goes it; she draws a fine and toes if; A rule, she neyer breaks if; if fhere's no tîme she makes if; She loves the fruf h and stands by if; nor ever tries to shy if; She hears a lie and slays it; she owes a debf and pays if; And as I've heard her phrase if; she knows the game and ptays if. She sees fthe pafh Christ frod and grîps the hand of God. The fog was very dense on Sunday morning, in fact al day Sunday. There was a fair attendance at church. One of t he fhings we ail admired was a beautifully carved case made by Mr. Eddie Couroux to hold the "Presbyferian Communion Set" of long ago. it is il- luminated. The choir sang "This is my story", accom- panied by Mrs. Fern Foster. The children's story was read by Mr. Don Peddar. The Scripture reading Genesis 9.:9-17, Mark 1:9-15. The Sermon fitte was "The Kingdom of God is at Pand". Wortd Day of Prayer Ser ice March 1 sf at Newt on- ville at 1:30 p.m. The foltowing paragraph appeared in the church bulletin. During this season do not simply try f0 be good, but do good -- good f0 somne one else. The Master needs labourers in his vine- yard. He catis you now. Do you hear his voice? There are so many people not attend- ing any church. Bring a friend along with you, or a child to Sunday HospitalI campaign (Continued from page 1) Lawrence Staples, Jim Stutt and Ed. Milîson.

There was a smaller at- tendance than usual due to the fog but there were nine tables in play. There will be another card party in two weeks. We are pleased to know that Mrs. Catherine Lowery is progressing favourably after her appendicitis opera- tion in Oshawa Memorial Hospital on Feb. I9th. Miss Caftherine Stewart came back to her own home on the sixth line on Wednes- day, Feb. 2th. Uer neice Mrs. Jean Keane was able to dr ive righf down to the house. A recent survey sceemed to shÔw that farmers were mak- ing money and getting tax concessions. On the farmer's pr ogram Sunday morning it told how that report applied to large corpoirate farmers but many family farms are in deep trouble. One year ago 22 snowmobile drivers were kilt- ed aIl but seven had been drinking. On Wednesday afternoon February the 2th, ten members of the Women's In- stitute and one visitor met at the home of Mrs. Barb Holland. The weather was perfect, calm and mild. The mee ting opened with the sing- ing of the Ode and repeating the Mary Stewart collect. Then the President told the story of the Bronte family who, lived in England 150 years ago. There were three sisters and a brother. At that time the eldest son or the only son was expecfed to make the family f amous. So the family skimped and saved to send him tIo college. Soon he returned homie, that wasn't the course for i m. So he was sent to another sehool after a time he came homne again, failure after failure but they continued fo try other schools. Meanwhile the girls wrote fo earn a littie money. Charlotte wr ote " Jane Eyre" a marvellous story thiat ranks with the finest in the English language, and Emi lY wrote "Wuthering Heights". So the girls becanie world famous and the son on, whom allfthe money was spent neyer amounted to anything. Mrs. M. Stevens had' visted the Bronte home, a huge stone structure. Mrs. Janet Dykemnan read the minutes of the last meeting. Mrs. Barb. Cathcart treasurer, gave the financial report. Penny collection $2.24. Then Mrs. L. Stapleton convenor for Agriculture and lndustry gave as her roll caîl: Name a harmtut cnemîlcal. Some mentioned were acquisîne, mercury, cyanide, nicotine, raid fty spray and D. D. T. Shie said that dangerous dumip sites were everywhere. She lold hiow sick her ladwa fromi thehev odour. She called ithe. departmnent buti i wxas se-veral hours later when the mani arrived to check, by that time [lhe odour -was gonée. People hate to complain because the valuie of' their property will go down. However it was too much of a health risk to sfay there. Along the Niagara River the -dumping of durex began in 1914. The chemicals stay ten years in Lake Ontario. There were four truck loads a day dumped. Another problem is the dumping of raw sewage into our rîvers and lakes. These practices must be stop- ped. Health cornes first no matter what if costs. A delicious lunch was pro- vided by Mrs. Barb Cathcart and Mrs. Barb Holland. Nexf meeting is to be March l3th at Mrs. D. Turansky's home. "And I Was Sick" from Batter My Heart by Roddan Nine hundred miles norfh of Vancouver a little frame hosp ital was built in the tent town of Atlin at the head- quarters of the Yukon. If was in -the days of the Klondike stampede, when those tens of thousands of gold seekers camne from the four corners of the earth following the lure of fortune. Some of them found gold near Otter Lake and thousands of these pilgrims stayed to try their luck along its creeks. These were far from home, from kindred or friends, hundreds took sick and many died for lack of shelter, medicine or nursing. There was, no hospital and conditions were cruel. My brother Rev. Dr. John Pringle, a mnissionary set out by Dr. James Robertson, built this little hospital with local aid. In response fo his appeal the church in the east sent in two pioneer women Miss Mitchell and Miss Bone. Then the "Atlin Nurses" Com mittee was organized in Toronto to finance salaries and supplies. The welcome the little hospital got from these stampeders and the comfort and blessing it brought to them taught the church or at least the women of the church, the tesson of the need of frontier hospitals. The "Atlin Nurses" Commit- tee dlceeloped rapidly mnto the WVomen's home NMissi"'---ry Soc iety w\ithit ýs aUý y societies i almost ev.ery Cn gregation tin Canada and thousands of mnembers. The Society later utnited withl the Women's Foreign Missîonary Society to form the Women's Missionary Society. They have established a score of hospitals in frontier places and in innumerable other ways have served our nation and our church.
