OUR READERS WRITE Refers to Gods word Dear Sir When top scientists report all oil reserveo will be gone in years time no heat severe food shortages and a world crisis in 30 years time we cover our ears and eyes put up two fingers and say peace fated starving countries will not make that mistake I assure you Canada has a larder worthy of conquest and presents little military challenge especially if Its protestors continue to alienate their one protective ally the S A Are you positive your protests against the states fed and started by communist Infiltrators and that once alienated we be at the mercy of any communist country You think you know it if they were HA I doubt It That why so many countries hove become communist They communists were at work In their country till too late USA Is their only obstacle In their desire for world domination You think communism is all right Listen to the underground churches and Christians unnumbered tortured and Imprisoned Look at the scars borne by Rev Richard Cumberland who escaped Read his books You young fellows who don t believe In work think twice there are work camps for those who won t work But close your eyes and cars put up two fingers and say peace and maybe these countries will find food and other natural resources elsewhere Do you rcnlly believe communists with Cheers for denturists Dear Mr cheers and tiger for the In their fight to be as fitters of dentures for the public We certainly need their competition to the dentistry profession who for far too long have levied unconscionable charges on the public requiring their services I trust that our federal and provincial representatives to their respective governments sec that the will be enabled to such a passion for world power would miss an opportunity like world disarmament In the meantime I thank God that after attending four or five different churches I have found one where the minister preaches the truth straight from God word regard less of persecution did this also I m glad I Judge all ministers by one When the letter was addressed to ye hypocrites you can discern the face of the sky but can ye not discern the signs of the times we saw who answered it we If rigidity and means interpreting the Bible literally as Cod Intended then I m for It Because you change God word to suit yourself doesn mean He has Quite the contrary As for Peace Matt states Think not that lam come to send peace on earth I come not to send peace but a sword is given regardless of conflict to the again believer I thank God for Jesus for with him I need no peace sign for I have peace I advise all to read Matthew and make note that This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled Christ Jesus Is coming for his elect and I pray that I may be worthy of that day If you don t understand it come where they teach God word not politics Tabernacle Churchill Road Our minister Reverend A Acton Free Press Wednesday January 1972 Bridge Mrs Betty

from Page rolling a little and that storm 1 agreed We were both slightly seasick So while our wives slept soundly through tempest we two hardened travellers tramped around the decks of the ship tr to shake off the effects of the storm which one crew member described tor us us a little blow We guided the p through a glorious dawn from our perch on the Crows Nest Bar which shared with only the Instruments from a Calypso band The Sunward throbbed southward until she swung into Key West harbor past U S submarines tied up at the wharf and looking the southernmost point in the US By this time our wives had Joined us on deck It looked like the weather would clear We tied up the and beside the navy yard where the crew of a mine sweeper was going through stiff morning while a band played the Star jangled Banner Down below a Calypso band was hastily assembling on a platform to tender an of final welcome to Key West Two ladies started giving out flowers and souvenirs to passengers disembarking I forgotten what ensued then since the ships recreation director a former Miss Norway happened by along this time smiling and waving at passengers Charlie and I both had our cameras clicking and mouths wide open We were all eager to see the place where Ernest Hemingway hung his hat for many years as well as the spot where refugees from Cuba landed in their small craft as they eluded the grasp of old Fidel who was somewhere out there in the sed a scant miles away More on that next week stones Varying name Now Maisie Roach stories are the talk of tlie country as the CBC Sunday presented Its first hour long installment of the world famous Whiteoaks Chronicles by that same la Roche Even when she sold stories as a girl she was known here as la Roche However the only history of Acton ever written Acton Days had this to say in 1939 about the family It will be recalled by many that A Roach the second last hotel landlord in the building the Stone Hotel was the Father of the since famous la Roche The family will be remembered by many They did not reside In the hotel but in the house now occupied by Mr and Mrs John Dunn on Maui Street and it does not require older residents to recall the Misses Roche driving about town with the Shetland pony and twowheeled cart The pony cart made a lasting impression The Roaches were Anglican Literary babysitter Young used to push Mac of Symon Hardware In his pram when he was a baby but Mac admits hedoesn remember a thing about being trundled by Canada most famous novelist She must have been 11 or 12 at the time and was unusually tall Almost as tall as I was recalls Mrs M MacDonald She remembers them as la Roche the house where Mazo de In once lived The Dunns bought the nearlynew house from the la Roches in 1909 and their name is on the deed spelled Roche Her autobiography Ringing in the Changes is available at Acton library There also a new reIssue of all the Whiteoaks denes suddenly popularized by the series on television Left us out A bit of a blow to Aetonians was the fact Miss la Roche even mention her few years In in her recollections of her life Yet she boasts of her excellent memory to make matters worse She had a rather strange childhood In Toronto and mentions a couple of years In a hotel In Gait A farming venture ended in financial ruin That the family name was originally la Roche is detailed in her book Her father named her she records A cousin Caroline lived with them and was only child It s quite probable inn lories were correct while those who recalkd Acton early days misunderstood the of years before The Stone Hotel was destroyed by fire years ago It was located Centennial notes The Centennial Commission meeting last week got down to one of Its major tasks a com mcmoratlve project

memories of the dc la Roche chronicle Acton chapter Con from Page was set two tricks when East West found their crossruff West led a club and East won with the ace He returned a high club for his partner to ruff Indicating that he would like the higher of the two remaining suits returned This way East got heart ruffs as well Declarer must also have lost a trump trick since the contract should only be down one Should be good Another South played the hand at two no trump This should be a good contract since West cannot effectively lead hearts without Hiving up two heart tricks Declarer should make five spade tritks two diamond tricks and at one In the other suits However according to the records South went down one In contrast a third pair ended up In three no trump by North Since West should have hearts somewhere along the line this contract appears doomed If East leads a heart West plays the nine If dummy ducks and the ace If dummy plays the queen In either case West has the diamond ace for a reentry to all his good hearts For some reason East led a club and declarer made three no The last pair sold out to a two heart contract by West This was a good move by NorthSouth since the best West could do was seven tricks He lost three spades twodlamondsand one trump One hand four different contracts by four different pairs Last week winners at the Acton Bridge Club were
