Turner, the Presîdent o! the Association. The Rev. A. C. Herbert, as Secrctary-Trea- surer rcportcd on the Inter- Church Week of Prayer Ser- vices, held the first wcek of January. . There was a unani- mous expression of apprecia- tion for the worthwhilencss cf the Services, and the force'ful-1 ness of the messages as pre- sentcd by the Rev. James D. C. Jack of St. Andrcw's Pres- byterian Church, Cobourg.

There was considerable discussion regarding the holding of the Annual Cemetery Decoration Service each June.

Some person or persons with taking ways pried open the box with a bar and removed most of the change as well as wreck- ing it for use. A replacement is on the way and police are attempting to locate the cuiprit who may have been disturbed in bis dastardly theft. There was some small change laying on the floor after he had departed. .~ t t t t ORPHANS RE 'ADY FOR FINALS - Last night at Memorial Arena, Bowmanville, Orono's famed Orphans opened their Ontario Finals against Port Dover. At the moment, there is no word on the next game or subsequent games in the best four out of seven series. There is a possibility they will play here again on Saturday night. We sug- gest fans watch the bilîboards at the Library Corner and look for handbills which will give the complete schedule when, it bas been settled. In the meantime, let's give this fine intermediate squad from Orono our very best support. They put on a great exhibi ,tion last Saturday and will be a bard team to eliminate. t t. t t. j EXPANDS STORE - Visitors to Dykstra's Variety Foods on King St. West will notice quite a differ- ence when they enter the store the next time. One wall bas beeni shoved back about eight f eet, new counters bave been built and an addîtional freezer for meats installed to make room for more business and more stock. t t ..t NOT FAR TO GO - Wben the fire siren blasted on Wednesday mnorning, tires screamed and fire- men puffed as they sped to the bail to get the f ire trucks on the road. Ev,-.rything slowed down quite quickly however, when they found that the blaze was in the town shed directly across the street from the fire hall on Church Street. A tin of gas being used tô cdean paint brushes had ignited, thrawing up :a large volume of flame and smoke. Nearby fire extinguishers were brought into play and put out the blaze in quick order. The f ire trucks didn't leave the hall. t t t j. j WE'RE NQT ALONE - Residents in this area should not feel too burt about the 10.5 mill increase in Bowmanville's tax rate or the 8.8 increase in Darlington. Cobourg's mill rate jumped 12 milîs this year and Port Hope's went up 8.336 milis. Almost every exchange paper we receive from many parts of Ontario tells the same story, so we certainj1y are not alone - and there appears to be no place else to go' to get away from the pesky taxes.; Guess we'11 just have to make the best of it,, aqd hope those scbools that are costing $0 much money will turn out graduates sufficiently well educated to take on jobs at enough money to carry the load we'll be handing onl 10 them. tt t j .tt BUSY, BUMPY SEASON AHEAD - The Town Works Departînent, will have a busy time this Spring, Summer and Fail, repairing broken pave- ment, filling in pot holes and in many ways restor- ing town roads to normal. The winter's snows and frost have taken their toîl and motorists can look forward to a bumpy time ahead until the work can be completed. Rural roads are not in good shape either and undoubtedly will require a great deal of work once they dry up enough to get at thern. Houslandcr, seconded by Rev. A. G. Scott, and unanimnously carried, that "the Ministrial Association disassociate itseif from participation in the Bow- manville Cemetery Mémorial and Decoration Day Service." There developcd discussion regarding the use o! the Mun- icipal Memorial Ice Arena on Sundays for hockey games. Disappointment and regret was exprcssed that the Arena was used so extensivcly for hockey games during the heurs af Church Services on Sun- days. For Uic observance of Good Friday the Ministers decided ta arrange for services in their own several churches, rather than hold an Inter-Church Service es had been the cus- tom for some years.
