COUNCILLORS TO PAY FOR NON-ATTENDANCE ; Uxbridge Township councillors will henceforth pay a penalty of five dol- lars if they fail to attend meetings for which they have had 24 hours notice. The resolution was made at the meeting Monday afternoon on recom- mendation of the auditor. The sug- gested penalty was $10.00-but Deputy- reeve Norman Hogg asked to have it reduced to $6.00. Only Councillor Jackson was op posed and the vote carried. PICKERING COUNCIL REJECTS 1962 SCHOOL AREA BUDGET ~ "Must Call a Halt"--Reeve A $77,886.00 budget presented to Pickering Township Council by the trustees of Public School Area Board No. 2, was sharply criticized last Monday night and termed "terribly alarming" by the Reeve, Mr. Sherman Scott. Minus grants of nearly $300,- 000, the board's requisition to council was established at $466,602.65. It is an increase over the 1961 figure of almost $100,000. The budget was re- jected by council. 'Although the 1962 mill rate showed a decrease of 1.6 below 1961, Reeve Seott pointed out that except for the completed land re-assessment pro- gram, the rate would have increased by more than 6 mills: "We must call a halt somewhere to these spiralling increases," said the reeve. "It is very disturbing to us especially when the area has received added grants". "The cost of education in School Area No. 2 is rapidly getting out of hand," Mr. Adamson, the spokesman for the board pointed out that a request- ed increase in teachers' salaries plus annual increments was a big factor in the $444,000 total set aside in this de- partment. The total area staff now comprises 77 teachers and 8 principals. He admitted that the salary schedule "had been revised upwards.

DUBARTON LEGION RAIDED Pickering Township Police Depart- ment conducted a raid last Friday night on the Dunbarton Legion. Police confiscated 224 pints of heer and 120 empty bottles. . Chiarges are being laid against 17 persons as found-ins and two officers of the Legion. Nine women were among the found- ins who were holding a euchre at he time of the raid. -~ Anglican Notes By Mary. Becker A number of members of the Church of the Ascension took part.in a parish 'action conference druihg last week- end. Although no definite plans em- erged, the session was both interest- ing and revealing to those who took part. On Sunday morning, one of the leaders, Rev. David Jones, took the Holy Communion service and, in his address, called the parish to 'a- mia- sion of hearing and seeing. He spoke irather than the three years as previ- he continued. of the tendency to become too preoc- cupied with one's own problems and hence not see the needs of others. His description of the ideal Christian was one who had "large ears, small mouth and kindly eyes." He felt that the conference had opened windows in the parish to admit new light and the fresh air of the Spirit. Those taking part included: My, Gnd Mrs. C. A. Glass, Mr. and Mrs. S. Glass, Mrs. S. Mumford, Mr. and Mus. W. Sonley, Mrs. D. Murray, Mes. Gi. Morrow, Mr. H. Gavdner, My. I. Gey main, Mrs. A. Allen, Mr. C. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. N. Waddington, Myr. J. Boothman, Mr. T. Becker, Mrs. G Hayes, Mrs. IF. Christy. Rev. Mr. David Lemon of St. Paul's Uxbridge was co-leader with My Jones. There will be a service of Holy Communion at 8 a.m. this Sunday fo the men of the parish, followed by breakfast. Matins will be said at 11.30. On Wednesday, March 28th, there will be Holy Communion at 10 a.m. The Rector has been conducting a small study group to discuss the Lenten reading in the Epistle to the Romans, in the parish hall after the Wednesday services. This same study is being done by Ye two women's prayer groups. The north group met today (Thursday) at the home of Mrs, Bruton, while the south group will mect Friday at 10.30 at the home of Mrs. Lowcock. The Young People are reminded of their prayer group at 7.30 a.m. Tues- days, in the church. The Men's group meets at 5.15 pm. on Wednesdays, also in the church. All members of the parish are invited to participate in one.of the prayer groups. The W.A. met last week, with Mrs. Hodgson in the chair, and 17 members present. * After an opening hymn and special Lenten Litany, Mrs. Hayes gave two Bible readings from St. John and Colossians, and Mrs. Mum- ford gave a talk -- "The Victory of Light" based on this scripture and the study book. Minutes were rend by Mrs. Mulligan and dues collected by Mrs. Purvis, in the absence of the secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Wilkinson, the Doreas secre- tary, reported that all work for the Indian school has been completed; and the social secretary, Mrs. Staple read a card from Mrs, Nind. Mrs. Hayes read a letter written by the late Can- on Nind shortly before his death. _ Arrangements were made to do a quilting for Mrs. Webster during Lent and Mrs, Staple offered to look after the cot quilt for the bale. Arrange- ments for the Saturday supper for the parish action conference were com- pleted. Mrs. Woods led in a bene- diction and tea was served by Mis. Garvey and Mrs. Staple. The Evening Guild met last Monday at the home of Mrs. T. Bell. After the opening prayer and the treasurer's report, members made plans for re- freshments and transportation for the children's mission during the week of April 2 to 6. Tentative plans for a June wedding at which the group will cater were also discussed. The ad- visability of having or not having a bazaar next fall came under discus- sion ,and the group left it for further consideration. A sample cup and saucer was examined, and it was de- District Churches SCUGOG MANCHESTER, PROSPECT UNITED CHURCHES The joint meeting of all our Pro- testant Denominations last Sunday af- ternoon accomplished just what we all hoped for. [It declared the Sover- eignty of our Lord Jesus Christ. The room assigned to us at the Scout Hall was filled, and the whole spirit of the meeting was Christian, We were all pleased with Mr. Schnell, and as some- ene expressed it, He has whetted our appetites for more". It is to be hoped that all the mectings this week will be well attended. Because we need to be reminded of the privileges which Christians enjoy. If only we Thursday, would know these joys and privileges, and not be ashamed of opening our mouths in defence of Christ and His Kingdom. As was suggested by the Speaker, why not be on the offensive, and not merely slam the door on the faces of these people who visit us to offer something infinitely inferior: but get their names and addresses, and return their visits, and win them for the Lord Jesus. Mr. Schnell said that thousands are leaving the Jeho- MICHELE AND HOWARD KEEP YOUNGSTERS HAPPY Michele (left) and Howard the talking Turtle Twelve-year-old Finney are two new personalities who have made a mark with young TV viewers this season on CBC-TV's Razzle Daz- vah's Witnesses each year, having hecome disillusioned, and having lost their faith in Jesus Christ to save and redeem. Let us have more of thes | joint meetings, and maybe we will see that putting Jesus in His rightful place, namely, in the very centre, that we break down the artificial walls of demarcation we have built up around ourselves. All Christians are one in Christ Jesus. There is room in our present set-up to have one Protestant Service every Sunday evening -in our area. We have the leadership with so many Ministers in our midst, and the congregation would come. Who knows whether our good brother Mr. Schnell may not have opened a wide door of Christian cooperation for all of us! Why not get going a campaign to win the area for Jesus Christ? Our congregation at Manchester on Sunday was good. Many faces that had been missing for a number of Sundays were present. It was good to hear the Choir again at Scugog; even if we just had a quintette. There will be Choir.Practice this week, The Prospect congregation were very hap- py to have Mrs. E. W. Fuller of Port Perry conduct the Service, and take this opportunity of expressing thei thanks and appreciation. The Cubs and Scouts are having a joint meeting this evening (Monday) in the Manchester Church. Some of our Cubs have been waiting for some time to "leap up' 'into Scouts. The Brownies have just arrived, and this evening the Guides will meet in the Hall. Scugog "Grace" will meet on Wednesday the 21st at the home of Cecil Fralick. A meeting of the Session is_ealled for Wednesday, April 4th at Beugog Church at 8.30 p.m. There are many matters to be attend- ed to, and we hope that all our Elders will be present. This could very well be the last meeting with your present Minister. The Cubs and Scouts have just had their joint meeting, when the follow- ing boys "leaped up" into Scouts: Robert Smith, Brian Donnolley, Henry cided to go ahead and order the need- "ed dishes, the pattern and style bein- satisfactory. The next meeting will, be held on Monday, April 2 at the, home of Mrs. Boothman. We hope everyone is keeping in mind that the week of April 2 to 6 will be the mission for the children (4.16 to 5.30 each day) and for the Young People(7 to 8. 30 each evening). The general theme for the parish life renewal programme, as expressed in the special bible passage (St. Matt. 28:6-13) is that nothing but the best, the purest and most reverent, is good enough for God. Mr. Fuller has been stressing this in the work and worship of the past few weeks. Looking ahead into spring, we note that there will be a W.A. Easter Tea on Sat., April 28th; a wedding on May bth; the Evening Gufld Rummage Sale on May 12th, and at least one wedding in June. There will also be an adult Confirmation on Sunday, May 6th, when it is hoped to have four persons become full members of the church. The teenage group will not be Con- firmed until October this year. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller entertained re- "cently at a small party in honour of Mr, and Mrs, Pelletier, on the occa- sion of Rev. Mr. Pelletier's birthday.

From a financial standpoint, the Box Social sponsored by Florence Fralick's Group of the U.C.W. last Saturday evening was a success. We want to thank all who supported it, and there was no doubt, that all who came had a very lovely and enjoyable evening. Evidently, the old thrill of purchasing a certain girl's lunch has not completely passed away. Maybe with a little more planning, the dif- ficulty of having so few to do the ac- tual work will be overcome.

"Didn't know it was loaded", was the feeble excuse of the real early the peg in his cave. Along came his noggin. This was long before AY. and his H.S.T. Program. Next we hear of an Iroquois brave bouncing from his wigwam with the feathered end of his shooting iron protruding from his right hip pocket. While cleaning his bow and arrows he accidentally shot himself. "Didn't know it was loaded". About 24 years ago John B. Cull attempted to educate the "Didn't Know it was loaded", boys. He in- cluded "also the chap that pulls his gun by the muzzle arter climbing a fence, the fellow that rests his arm on the muzzle-up end of his gun and also the fellow that leans his loaded gun against the car and then: leans himself on the car alongside. Just a good sneeze from trouble. Carelessness Two people became statistics through carelessness around firearms recently. Betty Sarsfield, editor of the Rouyn-Noranda Press, draws our attention to the shocking death of a nearby resident, who is thought to have tripped while carrying a rifle. Editor Betty goes on to say, "Each year we are shocked, dismayed and frightened by stories of men and boys who are seriously or fatally injured by firearms and we never cease to wonder why they all happen. How anyone with any knowledge of gun: could be so careless in their handling of these deadly weapons remains mystery. It all seems so unnecessary' That was east of us and in western Ontario we read where a prominent club man was found shot to death in a field. The police believe that the gun accidentally discharged when he was climbing the fence. Safety Program In 1957 Al Young and his Hunter Training Program emerged from the cocoon stage and became active. The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests believed that the reasonable approach to the hunter safety problem was through education. If young hunters are the most dangerous and since young minds are the most re- ceptive, isn't it then through these youngsters that the problem must be solved? As of December 31, 1061, 30,193 hunters have been trained in safe gun handling in the field. Rod and Gun clubs 'have backed up the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests in this program and at the close of 1961 there were only 122 hunting accidents in Ontario. Unfortunately 22 of them were fatal. Hunters of big game March 22ud, 1962 zle. Letters are coming in to the show at the rate of more than 5,000 a month. Howard loves mail. The only thing he doesn't like is the men- tion of turtle soup--that's enough to make any talking turtle withdraw into his shell. Conservation Corner Careless swinging on game within au 50 yard yard radius accounted for 63 hunters. As 30% of the accidents were "self-imposed it/ would appear that carelessness dgain crept in. There were no accidents attributed to pistol or bow and arrow hunters and not one lady hunter shot a fellow hunter in the bush. Port Perry Club while one of the smallest numerically has already made itself felt in the field of conservation. The winning of the Scotty Uren Trophy in 1961 proves that point. In Hunter Safety Training=60 per- sons have successfully taken the course. The President of the club O. 0. Hamilton and his assistants have developed a course which requires 1 to 1% hours each night for four nights to complete. This course is open to anyone over the age of 14 with a special welcome to the ladies. Even if the ladies do not wish to take up hunting as a hobby this course will overcome a certain shyness most ladies have towards firearms. While the Hunter Safety Training Course is not designed to make you an expert marksman, this only comes from practice, yet the graduate from the course makes a better and safer hunting companion in an already overloaded swamp or woods.
