Rose, Rector of the Church Ascension in Port Perry, was recently elected to serve on village council. His term as councillor begins in January, 1973, when he will get his' first taste of municipal politics. Rev. Rose is a prominent member of the community, having lived here with his family for seven years now. The Reverend, his wife Jean (who is a pharmacist) and their three children, Jamie (13), Anne (12), and Mary (8) reside in a home on North Street next to the Anglican Church. } The minister has become involved in a wide spectrum of community affairs. He has been a prominent in recent Inter-Faith Church meet- ings, is a member of the Curling Club, a Director of the Association for the Men- tally Retarded, a Director of the Borelians (theatrical group), and is the present Chaplain of the Royal Cana- dian Legion. < Reverend Rose was born in Halifax, attending Dal- housie University there for two years. He spent some time in the employ of an insurance company but found the clerical drudge distasteful. Playing down his mathematical bent, he turned to the study of Theology at Wycliffe College in Toronto. After some time, he received a Divinity Diploma and was named Cu- rate at St. Matthews Angli- - can Church in Islington. He later spent three years in the service of St. Paul's parish in Halifax and finally returned to Ontario. Askea why he ran for council, the Rector replied; DANCING and ENTERTAINMENT at the CENTENNIAL TAVERN FRIDAY, DEC. 22 8:30 to 1:00 a.m. George Timms Trio Join our New Years >> Eve Celebrations PRINTING Let Us Design Your Mailings Spread the word more effectively with brochures, catalogs, booklets that tell your story fast. We Know How Port Perry Star -- "Then there is, of course, the family worship "I have always been in- terested in politics, ever since my days as a high school student. After living here for some time, I feJt I should make a contribution. I decided to run shortly after some acquaintances sigges- ted I do so." ; "What do you wish to see accomplished in the coming year?" He replied; '"There are always 'housekeeping chores" to attend to, such as sewer installation, road maintenance, etc. When regional government arrives, I would like to insure that the transition stages are acceptable to everyone." Regarding the proposed Perryview Shopping Plaza, Councillor Rose admitted; "I haven't seen the plans. Development is acceptable to that area but I am not so sure retail activity is de- sirable there. The traffic situation would be awkward; the parking would be an even bigger problem. In my opinion, a shopping plaza in that location would be detrimental to the lakefront park." Reverend Reg. Rose will be living a double life in 1973; he is both politician and pastor. Being a member of the clergy has to be one of the more unorthodox' voca- tions these days. 'How do you like your work as parish rector?" he was asked. "I like the work", he replied. "There is the housekeeping end of it, operating the machinery of the parish. There is occasional youth work. Recently a large group of young people were accompanied by myself and other adults to attend the religious musical "'Gods- pell" in Toronto. It was a great experience. The music wasn't quite as heavy as "Jesus Christ, Superstar', but the tunes were catchier." "Another aspect is work- ing. with children. On the morning of December 24, some boys and girls of the parish will be staging a puppet-show in the church. This will be an interesting Christmas event Which de- serves a good turnout." The colourful puppets used in the show are the handiwork of the minister's wife, Jean. " a New councillor, man of many interests oil, services," the pastor con- tinued. '"This is an integral part of the week. We often have ecumenical services with other faiths. I also work at .improving the Sunday services by having occasional guest reader." In conclusion he stated, "1 have always enjoyed work- ing with people. You might consider me a developer." When the Star interviewer expressed some alarm at this open admission, Rev. Rose smilingly asserted, "not the land kind, mind you. I'm a 'people developer'. o . ° * Merry Christmas We rejoice in the sound of the words and the glory of the message: "-- on earth peace, goodwill to men." But we do not always feel the meaning in our hearts and put it to work in our lives. One who did was Henry Van Dyke, the late Ameri- can clergyman, writer, and poet whose famous "Story of the Other Wise Man" has brought joy and inspira- tion to thousands of people over the years. Among his writings is a piece called "The Spi t of Christmas, and we think you'll like it as much as we did. We are happy to print it, from us to you: "We are thinking of you today because it is Christmas . . . and tomorrow because it will be the day after, and so on through the year. We may not be able to tell you about it every day, but that makes no difference, the thought and the wish will be here just the same . .." "Because it is Christmas" -- so many things follow." "Because it is Christmas" -- the world stands still for a while, in reverent memory of the Christ child's birth. "Because it is Christmas" -- we hope anew for peace on earth, oodeil to men. "Because it is Christmas" -- we resolve that the Spirit of Christmas will stay with us throughout the year. Of course, the Spirit of Christmas should not be confined to a single day -- nor is it. For all those who truly believe in "good will to men" honor it-in their hearts and live it in their lives, every day of the year. They cherish the gontinjing yarmih of friendship, the ever-new rebirth of the Babe who lived to teac us peace and love. And though friends mey be far away or seldom met, that too "makes no difference" -- the steady flow of hope and good will continues to bind together those who put their trust in the power of loving kindness, and in all that we mean by humanity. ee Ee aaa = - THREE STAR > \ \ x RN ONE GALLON 69 CHRISTMAS STORE HOURS Closing Friday, Dec. 22 at 6:00 p.m. Open Wed.
