Fonreeter, Editor ■y Now Now Margaret Thatcher that is, Prime Minister of Great Britain. Hitting capitol hill in Ottawa last; week and addressing the House of Commons it came quite evident that world leaders are not beyond playing the game of "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours". Brian now owes Margaret one. Certainly she must have hit every news agency in the country and had John Turner and Ed. Broadbent and their crews well up in arms over, her intrusioh into domestic affairs in this country. The remarks had to be beyond protocol generally exercised exercised by visiting dignitaries and was meddling in internal affairs affairs in this country. But that's Margaret, always ready to extol extol her virtues of conservatism. Margaret tells us that in no way will our national personality personality be diminished and went on to say that Great Britain has been part of the European Common Market for years and Britains are no less British over this fact. If she intends that there is a comparison to be made between Canada and the U S. trade pact to that of the European European Common Market as to any surrender of sovereignty she is misleading. To compare the two as to sovereignty is like comparing apples and oranges. One would not expect that sovereignty change in the Common Market countries would exist since so many countries countries are included in the arrangement with diverse ideologies. There is no dominent country in the arrangement. This is not the case with the U.S. and Canada. "When the elephant blinks his eye the mouse runs". By size alone thé U.S. is most dominant in the local arrangement and this is displayed over and over again. Deputy Prime Minister Don of Canada then comes out with oranges and apples when he likens Prime Minister Brian going to «the U.S. and debating acid rain with congressmen. But this is a matter between two countries and certainly more that an internal U.S. problem. The debate between the two countries has been established over years. Not likely the Canadian Prime Minister would lecture the U.S. on their poor nor on a means to curb the incidence of murder in their cities. Margaret did over step her bounds when on Canadian soil.

Krissa by Rev. Bryan Ransom. The wedding dinner was held at "The Dutch Oven." .There were eighty guests from Powassan, Mississauga, Peterborough, Oshawa and other points. The power went off before the meal was finished. They will live in their lovely home west of the village. A, four-year-old » boyf a shy newcomer to the church nursery group, refused to join in play with t!?e other children. One of the women workers tried everything she could think of to help him lose his timidity, but he wouldn't say a word to anyone. Finally, she picked up a toy telephone and pretended to carry on a conversation, gaily chattering chattering into the instrument. After solemnly watching her for , sometime, the little boy looked up and quietly uttered his first Words since entering the nursery: "Your three minutes are up." Mr. & Mrs.-Keith Wood attended the family picnic June 26th at Hayden. The games took place outside outside then the lunch was served inside inside the Hayden School. You might be interested in reading what the Observer wrote in an old farm paper. Nothing is more interesting to the observer at" life - whether we spell the word with a capital "O" or a small "o" - than the utterly unexpected unexpected manner in which the lives of men and women develop. How rarely we find a life turning out as it was planned! I have just been reading a most interesting book abo ut a-man whose path led him to fai™ and wealth because it took tw§ utterly unexpected unexpected and unprerfiutabl 6 twists. This is "Just as it happened" by Newman Flower, (British Book Service, Service, Cassell & Co., 215 Victoria St., Toronto, $3.50). Newman Flower become head of the famous publishing firm of Cassell and Co. from 1927 on. This book contains his intensely interesting interesting reminiscences and among them many facts and stories about the founding of the firm. The founder was John Cassell, and his life had two of the most unexpected twists I can remember. His father was landlord of the Ring O' Bells Inn in Manchester, and had an accident shortly after John Cassell's birth which made hime an, invalid. Thus the boy had to work in the public house until he was, 16. Then he became a carpenter. That was all normal enough, but when he was 17 he heard Livesey, the great temperance reformer, preaching at a mission and was converted to the cause of temperance. To make a long story short, when he was only 19 - which was in the year 1836 - he became a tee-total lecturer and evangelist, at a time when working men were completely gin - ridden and beer was cheaper than milk. A short time later realizing that something was lacking when he urged urged poor people to give up their gin and beer, and offered them nothing in exchange, he and his young wife decided to gamble their little stock of money in supplying them with tea. In those days, tea could only be bought in 40 lb. cases - far beyond the working man's means and the Cassells started putting it up in shilling shilling packets. From an innkeeper's son working in the public house, to the temperance preacher and seller of tea is one unexpected and dramatic change in this man's life. But even at that time nobody could have dreamed of the second change. Such a man if clever enough, might have become a Sir Thomas Lipton - but how and why, should he become a famous publisher? It started when he bought a tiny printing press to print labels for the parcels of tea! But temperance was still his first and greatest love, so with the little hand machine, he started a tiny paper called, "The Teetotal Times." Then another called, "The Workingman's ' Friend." 1 And miraculously they were successful! successful! Then came the third idea which brought the second dramatic change twist to his life. His first: idea - Temperance had taken him away from the public house - his second second idea to give the working peo- ■ pie tea instead of gin was merely subsidiary to his temperance work. But his third idea although it still stemmed from his temperance idea - changed his life once more. It was to give the working man satisfying sustenance for his mind, just as tea gave it for his body, so in 1853 he started the first number of his "Popular Educator." It ran through the country like a flame and was the precursor of a whole series of educational works designed designed for the masses. Magazine and book publishing followed apd in the latter part of the nineteenth century Cassell's was one of the biggest allround allround publishers in the world. Once when John Cassell's "boom" was at its height someone remarked derisively, "Cassell? - he was only a carpenter, wasn't he? -or the son of a carpenter?" And some wise listener answered: "Is that such a disgrace?" What an answer! The present government paid $400,00 for turner's residence. An optimist is a doctor who tells the mother of six small children to relax. While shopping for wedding bands, the future bridegroom commented commented to his fiancee, I don t want a band that's too wide, or it might cut off my circulation." "Honey," she said, "it's going to do that anyway." People's life is mirrored in their garbage. What does your garbage say about your life? Over 400 women of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario met in Queen's University, Kingston. The theme of the F..W.I.O. for 1988-89 is "Waste Management, Recycling." They would like to see 100 new recycling projects started in Ontario by 1990. The constant use of throw away products was aptly demonstrated when it was discovered that the panel members, on the Friday night were using plastic throw away water glasses and a plastic jug. After this was commented on reusable glasses were on hand- Practical applications were given to the women. "Maybe the women, could raise the money to buy the community centre a dishwasher instead instead of using styrofoam cups and paper plates," suggest Pat Slater, Deputy Reeve of Peel Township in Wellington County.
