Can- ada would also like to think she could keep her finger in that pie. As it is the Ameri- cans and Russians seem to be stealing the show. As far as the publicity of it goes this is not important but economically it may be. " Perhaps this sounds very far fetched but actually, given another ten years of research and experiment and we shall have manned stations in the sky. We can be overlooked up there by certain armed missiles ready to go off at a given signal and we shall probably have little or no say in the matter. Great Britain, if she joins forces with Europe can possibly have a voice in the world of Space research. Canada has al- ready contributed a great deal for her size and for the amount of money allocated to her for this research. We could do a great deal more. We subsidise our farmers in the West when they are in trouble and sometimes even when they do not seem to be in We see this programme as a ing in Russia and China. We want to keep plenty of farmers on the land and we want to keep them producing. This "life-line must be strong if Canada is to prosper. "Prosperity to-day, however means many things.

None of us seem to realize that all this prosperity will be short-lived unless we One of the most remarkable things about the newly freed people of Africa is their great sense of dignity. These peo- ple stand for the first time with their col- lective independence and sovereignity over their own lives. Their dreams and aspira- tions surge out into the future with a great hope, the hope of being truly hu- man. At the threshold of the door of that hope is written the word Literacy. Without Literacy no nation to-day can progress. We send these nations food. Are we remembering man lives by more than bread alone? The Christian Science Moni- tor tells of the work of a Dr. Frank C.

Both Britain and Canada will suffer a great recession in a few years if the Americans keep forging ahead in this field, of which Space research is the big apple, and we do not keep somewhere within range. It will cost perhaps two hundred million a year to do it but if we look at the division of the budget for the Canadian govern- ment we will see that subsides may have to move into new fields with the chang- ing times. Most of our research work is done in government laboratories and universities. Industry on the whole does not supply the money except in special cases that have reference to a particular product. In the United States industry supplies a much greater share of the funds. The quality of research in all fields in Canada is good. Our scietnists stack up with the best of them but we need many many more post-graduate students at work in fields ranging from computer ma- chines to nuclear physics. We need a great deal more support for their work. We cannot afford not to support it. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture meeting at Banff is able to see that in the long-run it is important for Britain to be "in the ECC in spite of temporary restric- tions affecting agriculture. We may have to learn that subsidies for space research "may in the end save the world for agricul- ture. These subsidies are not vote-get- ters so we may not have the local MP's rooting for them.

The plans, until now a well - kept secret in the mercantile trade, have been developed by Zeller's Ltd. of Montreal. .o. The Lindsay store, scheduled for opening by mid-year, will represent a pioneering step by Zeller's into the fiercely competitive discount field. (Zeller's already operates a conven- | tional variety store in Lindsay). It is expected to become the larg- est single-floor retail outlet of any kind in Victoria County. Estimates of floor space range from 20,000 to 76,000 square feet. At the company's head office here, advertising and public relations offi- cials declined to confirm the plans. They "answered all inquiries with a]. brusque "no comment." Zeller's has already obtained space in Lindsay -- the property and two- storey plant of Sylvester Steel Pro- ducts Co. Ltd,, on the south side of Kent St. at Victoria Ave. Ey UXBRIDGE BULLS BRING . $2,850 AT SALE ~ Two Shorthorn bulls, the property of Norman D. Hogg, Uxbridge Twp., Although the majority of sales were recorded by Ontario buyers, some animals went as far as Saskat- chewan, Quebec and Nova Scotia. Others went across the border to Washington, Indiana, Missouri, Ore: gon, Ohio and Maine. Louada Farms, Peterboro, recorded the top price for a bull at $6,400. In addition to the Hogg entriesya Goodwood bull, owned by Jas. A. Daly was among the top twelve that sold for a 4-figure price. Their animal brought $1,200. LINDSAY WILL SPEND $384,000 ON SEWAGE A lagoon sewage disposal system is to be built for Lindsay at an estimated cost of $384,000, The lagoon system of sewage treat- ment requires that the sewage: bel: pumped into - large but shallow man- made ponds, with clay banks and wide walls (or berms) separating the 'la- goons. This disposal is a natural process, with one type of bacteria act- ing on the sewage in summer, and making it inert. In winter, when fice forms on the ponds (lagoons), another type of bacteria work on the sewage to make it inert, District Doings Continued The proposed system will comprise a total of 110 acres of lagoons, eaeh about five feet deep. WHITBY COUNCIL SUPPORT APPLICATION FOR BUS FRANCHISE TO BROOKLIN Mayor Stanley Martin has been au- thorized by the Whitby Town Council to appear before the Highway Trans. port Board to express the opinion that it would be of benefit to Whitby to have Church:-Bus Lines granted the right to run buses to and from Brook- lin and to the south plant of General Motors. . The application of the weal firm also asks for the right to run charter buses originating in Whitby. "If we appoint the mayor to repre. sent us, does this mean we favour the franchise being granted?" asked Councillor Burns. "Presumably we would be present to affirm that this reqeust is for the welfare of Whitby," said Mayor Mar- tin. "Then I would like to know more about the matter before I vote on jit, replied Mrs. Burns. | Mr. Church explained the request that was being made by his company to the Highway Transport Board. "Mr. Church deserves the support | of the town," said Councillor David- | son. "I feel a good word from the mayor would be of assistance." NEW SCHOOL FOR RAGLAN APPROVED The East Whitby Township Coun- cil, Thursday night, gave their appro- val for the construction of a three- room school at Raglan. The proposal will have to be endorsed by the Ont- ario Municipal Board before construc- tion starts. A representative from the East Whitby Township School Board, at the council meeting, proposed that the building be completed by Sept. 1, 1962. The school will be designed so that, if the need should arise, additional rooms can be easily constructed. Mount Carmel School at Raglan will be disposed of when, or if, the new school is completed, but Raglan School will be preserved. A three-man delegation, represent- ing lot owners in the township, ap proached the council requesting road improvement action in the area. The delegation included Ernie Pat- terson, Ed. Campbell and Vince Piti- engney. A petition having the re- quired number of lot owner's signat- ures was presented to council The council decided that the petition will have to go through other chan- nels before definite action can be taken, SKY LOFT SKI REBORT AT DAGMAR HAS CLOSED DOWN AFTER 25 YEARS ~The Sky Loft Ski Resort at Dagmar, north-east of Claremont, a one-time winter wonderland to ardent skiers from Canada, United States and even Europe, has closed down after more than a quarter-century of activity. The owners, Mii. and Mrs. Howard Langille were contacted by The Tri- bune last week. "It's a sad thing"; said Mrs. Lan- gille. She charged that their opera- tion "had never received the full co- operation of Uxbridge Twp. Council. She said that in an effort to expedite the weekend flow of traffic north from Balsam to the lodge, they found it necessary to sand the road them- selves. "It was just too costly," she said. "There are easier ways of mak- ing a living". Mr.and-Mrs. Langille, their two sons, David, 10 and Peter, 6 still visit the resort during the winter week-ends. Mrs. Langille ad- mitted that last season's disappoint- ing weather conditions prompted their final decision to close down. - The owner agreed that the winding road, leading to their resort centre presented a difficult problem for both themselves and the municipality. "In other areas, similar ventures are as- sisted in every possible way," con- tinued Mrs. Langille. "It would ap- pear that we are just not wanted." She said that they had appealed to the Council for co- -operation on many oc- casions, but with little success. Expresses Regret . Reeve Earl Dowswell akprested sin- cere regret that the owners had de- cided to close down their resort. "I was real proud of it and they are fine people," he said, He said that he could not speak for the efforts of other Councils before his time, but District Churches The outstanding event of last week was the Meeting of the Official Board. With very few exceptions the mem- bers of the Board and their wives met in the basement of Scugog 'Grace' Church for a turkey banquet, with over sixty present. Those at the Head Table were--Mr. and Mrs. L. Smith, Mr, and Mrs. C. Midgley, Mr. C. L. Fralick, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith, Mr. and Mrs. C. Fralick, the Minister and his wife. The Minister proposed a Toast to the Church, which was re- sponded to by singing of the Hymn, "The Church's One Foundation." Mrs. Murray Holtby from Prospect thanked the Ladies for the wonderful banquet. The Meeting then adjourned to the Church Auditorium, where, after a short worship, pictures were shown by Mr. Porter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, who was introduced by Leslie Smith, The pictures and the address were very .much enjoyed Then followed the business part of the Meeting. Our Recording Steward, Leslie Smith, read a letter of resig- nation by the Minister, and expressed his very deep appreciation for the services and leadership given the Pastoral Charge during the past six years. The Minister has received a Call from the Bobcaygeon Pastoral Charge, and will take up his new duties the first Sunday in July. The following were elected to the Past- oral Relations- Committee to procure a successor for Rev. J. K. Braham-- Messrs, Eugene Dearborn and Garnet Cochrane of Prospect, Clinton Midg- ley and Harvey Dobson of Manchester, Cecil Fralick and Laverne Martyn of Scugog. Clinton Midgley was elected as Chairman, and all correspondence will be directed to him. His address is R.R. 4, Port Perry, Ontaro. The Report of the Elders was pres- ented by Cecil Fralick, revealng that twenty-one new. members were ad- mitted during the year, and that the attendance at Public Worship is en- couraging and has kept up very well. The Report was signed by our Clerk of Session, Mr. C. L, Fralick, and also Clinton Midgley and Leslie Smith. The Report of the Stewards was pres- ented by Mr. Lloyd Smith, the Chair- man of the Board of Stewards. The finances of the three Churches are in a very healthy state, showing Cash Balances in the various organizations of $3,932.07. The monthly allocations to the Central Fund was increased, and also a substantial increase in the Minister's Salary and Travelling. Much credit was given to the "Sector Plan" which was put in operation at Scugog and Manchester. The Report was sig- ned by Messrs. Lloyd Smith, Mau- rice Fralick treasurer, and Wesley Johnston, secretary. The Annual Re- port has been carefully prepared, covering all the activities of the Churches for the year, and copies are available for all our members and -| adherents.--We- hope now that they will go out into the various homes, and that they will be studied care- fully. The sum of one thousand dollars was set for Missions. The M. & M. Committee consists of Mrs. Edna McLaren Chairman, and Mar- jorie Aldred, Mary Tetlow, Betty Reader, Ethel Redman, together wrn the treasurers of Prospect and Man: chester, namely Jim Smitherman and Aletha Holtby. Mr. C. L. Fralick was appointed Presbytery and Con- ference Representative with Mrs, H. Thomas as alternate. A vote of thanks was expressed by Mr. Bill 'McCartney to Mr. Porter, and a vote of thanks also given to Miss HRY | essons will be Holy Week, and the | purpose is to reteach dramatically and 'Reader for the generous contribution of her time helping to produce the Annual Report. The Meeting was interesting and' stimulating from be- ginning to end, and reveals that while attending. The Minister takes this opportunity , a -- contended that within recent years, every attempt had been made to .co- operate. He noted that on many oc- casions when the snowplows or sand- ers were requested for the Glen Major area, they would be employed in other sections of the municipality. "We had other places to look after, too," he explained. He said that some attempt was made to educate the motorists to travel into the lodge from the morth but they would insist on driving in from Claremont and Balsam, He sald that the cars were too often not equip- ped with snow- tires and their drivers were unfamiliar with country condi- tions. "Once the cars became stuek in the snow, our plows were helpless", he said. He admitted that the shut- down would mean a loss of business assessment for the townhip, Annual Church Meetings are worth- to thank all who helped and especially the Ladies, who went all out in their | preparations for the banquet. On Saturday afternoon we had a wedding at the Parsonage, Donna Joan was given in marriage by her father, Gordon Collins to Alex- ander William John Porath, We do wish Donna and Alex every joy and happiness as they establish another Christian home. On Sunday some- thing went wrong with Prospect's heating unit, and we all arrived to find the Church cold. This really was an innovation and so having recently left the warmth of Manchester, the congregation of Prospect was invited to go to Manchester, which they did. The Choir sang "Give of your best to the Master" with Willa Holtby at the piano, which was much appreciated. At Scugog we had a goodly number in the Choir, and they sang, "Lean On Me." After the service for Pros- pect, the members of the Pastoral Relations Committee met and decided to advertise through the United Church Observer for a new Minister. Our deepest sympathy and love go out to the Raymond Fralicks, and to the other members of the Cook Family in the death of Florence's mother Mrs. Cook. Death came as a friend, as Mrs, Cook suffered most of the time. Here was a lovely soul with a great sense of humour. May God in Christ comfort all who mourn, and give hope for to-morrow. Happy birthday to Sharon Hulcoop. Ivan Jeffrey, Mary Angus, and Pat. Aldred of the Island, Robert Espie and Melanie Tassell of Manchester. Robert Greenwood and Kenny Patter- son of Prospect. ~ - Anglican Notes Something of a new spirit seems t« be stirring in the parish of the Churect of the Ascension. Some of its begin ings were evident in last Sundays ser vice, andj more will be apparent a: various groups and individuals ar approached and as a series of event: unfolds between now and Easter. During service, the Rector drew the attention of the congregation to the service of his Induction to the parish. in-November 1956. He asked that all members of the parish might look up this service in their prayer books sometime in the near future and see just what the obligations, both of the priest and people, are set forth in it Mr. Fuller then preached the same sermon as he had given at his Induc- tion-- referring to the 5,000 whom Christ fed, the 70 whom He put te work, and the 12 with whom He lived and taught. The Rector likened these three groups in present-day terms to the curious, the concerned, and the committed in a parish. The Litany was said during the service, as an act of repentance for those things in which the Rector and congregation have not lived up to duction service. An upsurge of activity in the life of the parish at the spiritual level will be taking place during the next- few weeks. All the specific details and times and places will be made known, subject to confirmation by those who will be coming to participate, and after the Board of Management lias again met. One activity planned is the Teach- ing Mission for Children, which will likely be -held in the week of April 2 to 6. The sessions will be held in the church from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m, each day that week. The theme for the intensively the faith, with special ref. erence to this most significant time of the church year. The children will be given light re- i frashments, then have a lesson period, | followed by a time for doing creative work with their hands. There will be a closing service on the last day when cach -child will present ther work and receive a blessing. The mission for children will be for those from 6 to 12 years of age. During the same week, a Young Peoples' Mission will be held for those | 13 to 16, based on the Great Days of the Church Year. Mr. Fuller does not normally have an opportunity to par- i ticipate directly in the teaching of the children of the parish, due to church school and service being held simultaneously; these missions will be such an opportunity. The Young Peoples' Group will meet to-night. This group had an interesting. session last week, when they were shown a film-strip--'Bat- tle On a Small Planet" and held a lively discussion on it. A toboggan- [ing pyrty, held last Sunday, drew Thursday, February 15th, 1962 when | the obligations as set forth in the In- : some 23 young people who enjoyed themselves on the hills at Wilkinsons, and then came back to partake of refreshments at Popert's restaurant. There will be a euchre in the parish hall to-night. After this even- ing, there will be one more euchre before the beginning of Lent. It will be on March 1st. The Afternoon Guild held a meet- ing last week. After a short business session, plans were completed for the Valentine Tea and Bake Sale, held Feb. 10 This event was very success- ful, and Mrs. Allen wishes to thank all who contributed in any way to it. The Afternoon Guild also made a con- tribution towards the purchase ot hymn books for the choir. The Church School Teachers' Group met last Thursday, After the open- ing prayer, minutes of the last meet- ing, and treasurer's report was glven. There was some discussion of the sliding doors which the Sunday School expects to purchase for the archway in the main hall. The group considered the possibinty of changing to the Seabury currie- ulum tor church schools, but left decision for a future meeting. It was decided to have observers git in on one or two classes for a time. The superintendent of the church school at St. Thomas' Brooklin, attended this meeting. A film-strip--"A Teacher's Manual is to Use" was shown by Mrs. Fuller and in subsequent discussion the group decided that it would be of value in teacher training... Miss Jennifer Ed- wards is taking Mrs. Willlams' class while the latter is convalescing trom SUPEOTY. - able will attend the Valentine dance this Saturday evening, from 9 to 12, in the church hall, There will be square and round dancing to the music of Bonnie Belle and her Island- ers; and a refreshment booth will be in operation. Admission is 50¢ per person. Both the young folks and their pavents are invited to jon mn the fun, The Women's Auxiliary met last Tuesday, and we hope to have a report for next week. All the laries of the parish are reminded that the Wonien's Prayer Group will continue to meet in the church at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays until Ash Wednesday (March 7). We hope to have more details of the Lenten plans involving all the parish next week. Mi. W. G, Snell, a former member of the Witnesses of Jehovah, now a minister, will speak in Port Perry this Sunday from 1:30 to, 2:30 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church. He is sponsored by the Ministerial - Assoc- fation and will be able to answer questions about the sect to which he formerly belonged.
