2 -Oroo eekyTmes, w edne$dav..June29.14 Kendal Colum Telling it as it is The message from the president of Memorial Hospital- Bowmanville Corporation, R. E. Elston, was most direct as to the future trends in medical care provided through hospitals. Hie points out that Ontario over the past years bas only been tinkering with change and that change to corne in the next 18 to 24 months will be profound in Ontario. SHe made it clear that either hospitals make changes voluntaryily in a rational and effective manner or have change legislated. .Mr. Elston outlined the accomplishments at Memorial over the past year which are recorded in the enclosed Hospital report. He then spoke of meeting the challenges of the future in which direction must corne from within the local hospital operation itself but with support from the general public to assist in funding. It was noted by the president that to deflect from the theme of "We're Router Together" would surely impede the abiity for Memorial to romain a leading health care institution in Durhamn East. One bas to agree to the direct approach that bas been taken by Memorial and that change wil corne, that change must be accepted and that wo cannot always expect the province to be coming in with a bag ful of rnoney. It does look as if Memorial bas a realistic formula of medicine, "We're Better Tojzether". Youth do have concerns The Royal Commission on Leaming appointed in Ontario gave a wide opportity for youth to be able 10 voice their viewpoint as to the educational system in the province. 1This oppportunity came over the past year through many venues including an outreach program. It has been said that few commissions have given young people such an opportunity 10 be heard. It is releavant in that it is the children who have the most 10 gain and the most 10 lose through the educational system they are forced t0 attend. Youth did have a wide view and opinion fromn linking social service agencies with schools so that no student goess 10 school hungry and unable to listen and leam But many of the viewpoints were similar bo those registered within the local board systemn when the students were given the opportunity tw speak-out on education. They found strong support for zero tolerance for violence, a need for more teachers from minorities, an independent complaint's body 10 mediate probîems between students anti teachers. "Give us teachers we can relate to" and some students suggested t hat the have a say on hiring andi evaluating. 'Me Royal Commissionn has yet to report and if we are right the local board has yet 10 report on its findings through a public prvcess they conducteti last year.

I was fortuniate to miss that very hot speil except for the bot Saturday and Sunday. It was cool and breezy but sunny where I was, in Saint John N.B. Coming off the plane in Toronto on Saturday and going out of the terminal, was like waiking mb oa brick wall. I bad trouble breathing and have had a bad cold ever since. Oh well, so much for the beginning of summer, think 1 wil take the rest of summer off and see what faîl will bring. Sunday was a beautiful day, the combined Orange Lodges of Kendal along with guests from o ther Lodges, held their annual Church Parade. The Kendal Band led them through Kendal and tben to the Church for the service. Ian Savage accepted the-flags and tbey were placed at the sides of tbe altar. The service opened witb "O'Canada". Ian welcomed everyone and said it brought back memories to him of seeing the Orangemen parade wben he was a chiîd. He spoke of the part that tbe members of the Orange Lodge had played in tbe building of Canada. Colleen Pollock of the Junior Lodge gave the first reading. The hymn, "The Churches One Foundation" was sung. The Invitation to Worship and the Prayer of Approach was said. 11April, Moore of the Ladies Lodge gave the next reading. The hymn, "The Earth the Sky, the Oceans" was sung. Ian led in the Prayer of Self- Examination and the Words of Assuirance. The choir made up of members of alI three Lodges sang the anthem, "Just A Little Talk With Jesus". Norm' MacGilvray of the Men's Lodge gave the third reading., The Bender Family, mother, father and -daughter sang two beautiful songs, they are a delight to hear and bring a message of hope and cheer in their music. Ian chose as his Scripture regding, Jeremiah 8: verse 18 - chapter 9. The sermon was titled, "Tears for a Nation". Ian spoke on how it is flot popular to preach from the Old Testament. Some Ministers wouîd ratiier preach what they feel the People want to hear. Words that will ot disturb themn very much, but Iani said that ho felt the warnings of the Old Testament needed to be heard, we need to be warned. When we only hear what we want we grow complacent, w e do flot give thought to wbat is really going on around us, the lack of reîigious training, tbe weakening of the family, the Iack of respect for others. Jeremiah warned of what will.happen, we mnay not likp, what we hear but we need t hear It. Our vaiues of today are flot dhe values of our ancestors. To them it was their family, their religion, their country, they worked bard at ail these things, and they believed in them. The hymn, "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" was sung, the Prayer of Concern given. The service ended with the hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers". The return of the Flags andi the singing of "God Save the Queen" and the, Lodges marching out of the church. 1Lunch was served at the Kendal Orange Hall, and everyone seemed t0 enjoy it and the time of fellowship following lunch. Ne-xt big event for t.he Lodges will be the Orange Parade in Campbellford on Saturday, July l6th. Fern Foster and Helen Wood were honoured by the Congregation of Kendal on Sunday, June l2th, they were presented with Certificates of Appreciation and gifts of jewellery and following the service a party was held in the Sunday School room. Both are retiring as organists as of June 26th. Helen and Fern would like to thank everyone for the gifts, the certificates and the party. They say they have enjoyed the years, 1 know that without their music that services would flot have been the sanie, they w Ill be missed but we look forward to seeing them as they take their part as an attendee at service. Thank you both for a job well done, I know it was a labourof love. This was a pretty busy Sunday, you could take your choice, supper at Shiloh or at Tyrone, I hope both were well attended. There will be no church services in the Kendal, Shiloh, Newtonville churches in the month of July. AUl three churches- will hold combined services at Kendal starting on Sunday, August 7th. The time for these services will be 10 a.m. flot 11:15 a.m. Everyone welcome. Well thîs will bc ail for me for awhile, going to take time off and try and get rid of this cold, who knows maybe the weather will ORONO, ONTARIO co-operate and be neither too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry, wouldn't that be a perfect summer, guess t.hat only happens in our dreams. Have a good summer. A few thoughts of the summer "If you are away somewhere and hear church beils ... think of three people who love you." 1 Neyer buy anything electrical at a flea market".
