Editor A Wasteful Society - And It's Not Garbage Watching TV over the weekend a program debating the "Pros" and "Cons" of "No Fault Auto Insurance" we became a supporter of the program now before the Ontario Legislature. The debate was between an Ontario Ministry represen- tative, a representative from the Insurance industry, both who were in support of the new legislation, and a lawyer representing the legal institutions or at least an arm of that particular institu- tion, who hotly opposed No Fault Auto Insurance. It is true that there will be some loss of freedom to take an injury claim to the courts, but all too often this, in the past, has been abused mainly through greed, the opportunity to take advantage of the system. It will be a loss to the legal profession, but over all a sav- ings to the general public, who will be compensated for injury through a fixed figure. No doubt the lawyer on the TV program was most in- terested in the loss of the legal fees under the new system. It must be remembered that the laws under the Highway Traffic Act will still apply and charges for misdemeanors will still be handed out. "No Fault" and the Highway Traffic Act are two separate identities. Another waste to society came to light over the weekend, when speaking to Counc. Arnot Wotten at the Orono Fire Hall at a presentation breakfast to retiring firefighter Ron White. The subject of the Enniskillen Fire Hall came up in a con- versation. The cost of this new fire hall is greatly inflated over estimates. What would have been wrong using the same plans they had for the Orono Hall and thus save fifteen percent on the total cost of the new hall? The new hall will be serving a com- munity and area similar in size to Orono and the Orono hall is more than adequate. Counc. Wotten said he had presented that view but got nowhere and further stated that it costs the Town plenty for con- sultants and engineers, an area in which there could, he felt, be some savings for the taxpayer. The same could be true in our educational system where every school has to be different even though the building itself means nothing to the quality of the educational output. Bill Carman, a member of the Northumberland Newcas- tle Board said you would never get another architect to under- take even minor changes to another architect's plans. It's all about professional protocol. Surely a plan for various set school populations would provide accommodation at a cost from 15 to 20-percent cheaper and in no way affect the quality of education. In fact more money could be available where needed to upgrade quality. It is a waste and a costly waste only to support profes- sions that like others should realize changes have to come to the system of doing business in this changing world. It's a matter of dollars and cents (sense) for the taxpayer. The taxpayer cannot continue to support services that really are not needed. The School Board appears to have a winner in their On- tario School Board's Insurance Exchange. Let them now extend this approach to the design and construction of new schools. Durham East PCs give nod to Cunningham (Continued from page 1) arena and were entertained by the Port Perry Flippers musical group. Other features for the afternoon in- cluded a number of draws and an auction conducted by Arnot Wot- ten. Annette Shaw of Newcastle was the high bidder for Sam Cureatz and Ross Stevenson to plant a tree each on her property. Winners ofUthe Blue .ay ticket baeball draws were Pauline Storks on tickets donated by Sam Cureatz; Howard and Jean Ganthier for tickets donated by Garnet Rickard and Ross Stevenson and Bruce Caldwell for tickets donated by Bill and Lorraine Lover. In speaking with Bill Lover following the days activities he said everyone seemed weil pleased with the new system of selecting a leader and that with some refinement it surely will be the process in the future for the conservatives and other parties. Kendal Hall News Once again the old hall has l6een a pretty' busy place this past two weeks. On Wednesday, May 2nd the Men's Lodge met, on Thursday, May 3rd it was the Junior Lodge meeting at the Hall, on Saturday, May 5th the Ladies of the W.. held their Annual Bake and Penny Sale at the Hall. The members of the Big Five, or Five Countv I odge met at Kendal on Wednesday, May 9th and on Thursday, May 10th the Ladies Lodge met. Plans are ongo- ing towards making a success of the twelfth of July Celebration, which as I reported last fall, will be held in Orono in 1990, it is also the 300th Anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. This is the first time the march will take place in Orono Kendal News Well we saw some sun once again on Sunday, although one couldn't say it was overly warm, the breeze kept it cool. We have had quite a bit of wind the past few days, and when driving around the country you can see the results of it in the trees that have blown down. Thurs- day evening when driving east on the main street of Kendal, I noticed that the big tree of the barn right opposite the end of the street, was lying on the ground. In the dark it looked like it had been cut down, but on Sunday, in the daylight I could see that it had fallen and broken off right at ground level. Willows in the area also took a beating. Let's hope we are in for some nice weather now. Well Sunday was Mother's Day and some also call it Family Day, what ever happened to Mother have a day all to herself, Father's have a day aIl to themselves. At one time you went to church on Mother's Day and if your mother was living you wore a coloured flower and if she was no longer with you, you wore a white flower in remem- brance of her. The day was devoted to giving her one day of the year to take it easy and do just what she wanted to do. No one bought big presents, some flowers maybe or some small thing you got hér, but it was one day you could express your love in little ways, that you forget to use other days of the year. Now it is Family Day, Baptism of Babies, all the family gathering at Mother's, and guess who gets to cook the food for the family; that's right, Mother. So what else is new. Mothers let's protest, we want a day for ourselves, no cooking, let's eat out. Men and kids take note for next year. I was one of the lucky ones, I must confess, I was invited out for supper, ate lunch out and only had to get breakfast, but then all the family are gone from this nest. The Service on Sunday opened with Rev. Ransom and Allan Baker sharing the pulpit. The choir sang the anthem, 'How long has it been, since you talked with the Lord?' Allan gave the announcements, and took the Children's Story. Allan since 1938. We hope everyone will come out and help celebrate. On Friday the lIth, the last card party of the season was held at the Hall, there were 11 V2 tables in play. High score was taken by, Dora MacDonald with 89, 2nd high Dave Spencer with 88, 3rd Mel Switzer with 82 and Berniece Milligan with 81. The hidden score prize was won by Carl Todd. The 50/50 Draw was won by Mel Switzer. The W.M. of the Men's Lodge then presented the trophies to the 2 top scorers of the year, Ist place Pearl Clark of Ken- dal with a score of 96, and Charlie Finnie of Garden Hill with a score of 94. We hope to see you all out again next fall. Starting date will be announced later. Now that the card parties are over everyone is busy getting ready for the Men's Lodge yearly Salad Supper which will be held on Saturday, June 2nd. If you are interested in getting tickets, con- tact David Thrower at 983-5692. On Tuesday, May 29 the Ladies Lodge are sponsoring a TOPS and TRENDS party at the Hall in Ken- dal. The doors, open at 8:00 p.m. and all women are welcome. Bring a friend and come on out. Admission free and a light lunch will be served after. More Lodge news... On Saturday evening May l2th 4 members of the Men's Lodge went to Warkworth and took part in a Lecture Competi- tion, coming away with Ist place was Richard Lowery and Chad Switzer and 2nd place won by Dean Polley and Brad Switzer. Nice go- ing! by P. Lowery asked them to tell him how many there were in their family. After they told him, he said that there had been three in his family, but now he had hundreds, that by coming to the Newtonville Pastorate, he had gained a large family, that we were part of his family and he was now part of ours. He ,then asked them how they could help the other members of their family. The answers were many and interesting. The Scriptures were read by Allan and Bryan from Acts 7:55-60, Ist Peter 2-10 and John 14:1-14. Allan Baker took the Sermon. It was bas- ed on do we have the Faith of Stephen. In the early days of Chris- tianity, the Christians were doing for the first time, as Jesus taught different from the ways of the elders of the Temples. These elders did not want change, they were afraid of it, uncomfortable with change, they had been going on the same way for so long that they had lost sight of what the Torah meant. They worshipped the Torah for itself. When Stephen was stoned and put to death he cried out the same prayer as Jesus. How do we deal with forgiveness to those who have hurt us either physically or mentally. Do we try to talk to them and clear things up, or do we try to get even with them. Do we forgive them or bear a grudge against them the rest of our lives. Do we speak up when we see others harming so- meone, do we try to protect the one being harmed? Is our Faith worth living and dying for? Where is the Christian Church today when there are over a million people in our country out of work, with no hope of getting work, not able to care for their families, losing faith in themselves and their beliefs. Announcements...Next Sunday there will be a special collection taken up to help the Bruce family. Their little daughter will be having surgery in Toronto and they will have to stay there for a couple of weeks and we all know how expen- sive that can be. Baptism will be held in June, anyone interested please contact Rev. Ransom. Anyone wishing to join Kendal Church as a member please contact Rev. Ransom. On Sunday, May 27th a Salad Supper will be held in the Sunday School room, starting to serve at 5:00 p.m. through 7:00 p.m. Adults $7.00, children 6-11 $4.00, under 6 free. Come out and enjoy. by P.
