After After the scriptures Luke 19: 28-40 and Is. 50: 4-9 were Something To Think About DIRECTOR PAUL R. MORRIS DE A TH AND THE MEDIA Modern children are bombarded bombarded with death, on television especially, and in the movies, in disaster stories on the news and in the newspapers, even among the more death-oriented of the rock singing groups. It is especially evident in the everpresent everpresent threat of collective annihilation annihilation via nuclear, military, or ecological apocalypse. One cannot help but wonder about the effect of so much exposure to death on modern generations of children. For one thing, most of this exposure is vicarious and de tached. Unlike children of an earlier age who frequently experienced experienced the untimely demise of a sibling or who witnessed a grandparent dying at home, almost almost no modern child has any immediate experience with death. No wonder today's child tends to have an image of death that is, at times, bizarre and fictitious. Add to that the current reluctance to talk about death openly and honestly and you have a child caught between between overexposure and mystery. mystery.

Mrs. Edna Morris is celebrating celebrating an eightieth birthday birthday this month and has Ron Morris home from B.C. to help celebrate. Sorry to hear that Mr. Wes McMahon of Bethany has spent two or three weeks in the Peterborough Hospital. Although he is home at the time of writing, Wes is still not enjoying very good health. His many friends wish him much improved improved health. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Malcolm of this community attended the Ontario Pork Producers annual Convention Convention held this week at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Hearty congratulations to Mr. Paul Atkinson, son of Bernice and Jim Atkinson of the community, who graduated graduated from the Devry Institute Institute with an Electronics En- g 'neering Technology iploma and is currently studying to get his B.Sc. degree degree in California U.S.A. Our community is proud of his progress to-date and wishes him continued success success in his studies. Those who saw, Mr. James Brown of Lindsay on Barrie T.V. on Wednesday of this week were much impressed impressed with his interview on the past history of Lindsay Lindsay ana the Academy Theatre Theatre in particular. Veiy professionally professionally done. We note with interest the Post reporter Ron Grech's comments on Lindsay's possibility possibility of having the widest main street in Canada. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, this isn't true! Ontario possibly, but not Canada. If memory serves us right, Fairview Alberto has a much wider main street, unless it has shrunk since we were there 40 years ago. As an addendum to our previous comments re Ontario Ontario Pork Producers annual meeting, two new provincial Directors were elected to the Board.

Miss Tara Malcolm accompanied accompanied her grandparents Eileen and Howard Malcolm to Toronto this week and spent most of her time with her aunt Candy Malcolm. The latest edition of winter winter has resulted in a grand influx of our winter birds back to the birdfeeders. During During the more spring-like weather the feeders were more or less deserted. Corrie and Harvey Malcolm Malcolm dropped in to see our daughter Mona this week in Scarborough. Mona picked up a dose of the flu or some such insidious intestinal disturbance disturbance which rendered her "hors de combat" from her bank employment for three successive days. Glad she is recovering quickly! On Sunday the immediate immediate members of this branch of the Malcolm tribe gathered gathered here at Malconia to observe observe the auspicious event of the Engagement of Mona Marlene to Ronnie Shar- man. The event was not exactly exactly unpredictable, as Ronnie Ronnie has been cluttering up the premises here the past ten years and Mona likewise has made her presence felt at the Sharman household at Short Street in Lindsay. The occasion was suitably recognized with a mutual admiration of Mona's Engagement Engagement ring and by the - toasting of their future together. together. We certainly wish them well in all their future plans. Must admit it's a bit of a relief to have them declare declare their honourable intentions! intentions! Just when it looks as if perhaps spring has sprung, we get inundated with the biggest snowstorm of the year. The only bright spot is that if we get the white stuff now perhaps we won't get it later. Local residents have pulled their snowblowers etc. out of mothballs and gave them a spin for first real workout this year. Another Another benefit as we see it, that all those twigs and branches we were going to rake up B.S. (Before the snow) now are not only out of sight but also out of mind till next mild spell. Those little feathered free loaders who had more or less deserted deserted our bird feeders, have returned returned en masse for another handout. To date, although robins have been sighted elsewhere by the dozen, our resident robin has not yet returned - smart fellow. We were pleased to read the article in the Statesman re the James family attendance attendance at the Central School in Bowmanville over the past 100 years. However, we did feel that there was a definite definite omission; - was it not possible to slip in some of Editor John M's marks while attending that school, or are these being kept secret secret with the potential for future blackmail??
