As this is being written late Sunday, several of our staff don't know what's facing them tomorrow and possibly in the weeks ahead, but whatever they have to put up with won't be nearly as difficult as the stress and strain being encountered at Port Hope and Cobourg by their staffs. We would ask you to bear with us during this emergency period. We may be late and so may the other papers involved, but we shall continue to do our best to get all the newspapers involved to readers as quickly as possible, and hope you'll enjoy the new reproduction our press should provide, unless the built in gremlins cause too many problems. As soon as we can get straight- ened around and organized, we'll try to include that picture story men- tioned above that will give you a better idea of what the changeover is all about. In the meantime, our gratitude goes out to the Oshawa Times for putting up with us for all those years, and our deepest sympathy is also expressed to Publisher Dr. Jim Johnston of the Cobourg Star and Port Hope Guide and his staff who are in for some rough re-building in the days ahead. electors concerning the candidates and their background, realizing that our circulation area not only covers Bowmanville but stretches into Cartwright where they have a different type of election involving the Township of Scugog rather than the Town of Newcastle. It becomes quite complicated when all the variations are outlined and under- standably many voters are confused. In Cartwright area, there have been several meetings that have shed considerable light on the situation for the voters out there who for the first time are tied in with towns and townships to the west and north. We regret that we've been unable to provide as extensive coverage of those meetings as we had hoped. Here, in the Town of Newcastle with its three wards, meetings have not been too plentiful and we would suggest local voters should read the article in this edition based on comments of the acclaimed Mayor of Newcastle, Garnet Rickard. Many of the questions people are asking will be answered there for them. Lastly, we would urge local electors to play their part on Monday by visiting their polling booth and casting their ballots. It's better than staying home and moaning afterwards about the outcome. my friend was much different than you and me i had a friend with the ability to fly my friend always dreamt far more than i i had a friend more carefree than me my friend had eyes but refuesed to see i had a friend with a mind of his own my friend always wished to be alone i had a friend who lived on needles, who could fly my friend spent all his life living high i had a friend who was a really great guy my friend lived on needles, they made him die. -Cher Crowells Blackstock, Ont.

The Trustees accepted his recommendation, and after some considerable discussions, the municipal board finally gave their aproval. This project bas since been completed, the final payment is now in the hands of the Treasurer, and the mill rate did not have to be increased to accomplish this. I am pointing out these facts, Mr. Editor, because I understand that Reeve Woodyard's report is being questioned as to its credi- bility. From past experience I would certainly not quest- ion the report which he recently submitted, and I feel that this is the type of person we will need to help form our new regional system of government.

To our know- ledge they have never caused anyone any incon- venience. This Fall, how- ever, we are being forced to dispose of them all. This spring our hens hatched out twenty gos- lings, thus, giving us a grand total of twenty-eight geese. During the summer a few died of natural causes, a few were sold, but some were killed and definitely not by us. In June a neighbor drove into the yard and told us a dog was attacking our geese. As we watched the dog take one goose by the neck and kill it we noted it was a stray we had never seen before. Thanks to the help of another neighbor this dog was destroyed a week or two later (after another unsuccessful attack), much to the displeasure of at least one other neighbor. The dog had been wild. The first week in Septem- ber four geese were miss- ing and after searching the property one was found dead, two seriously injured (later they died), our best gander was missing and two were crippled. We didn't know what did it. A few days later a big black dog was seen mauling the geese out in the field. It crippled our other gander. To bring matters to a head our neighbor down the road lost twelve of his fifteen geese this morning. It was a real slaughter. There is no proof that all the geese were killed by dogs but the sole purpose of this letter is to ask people to obey the township laws and keep their dogs on their own property. We realize that some people could care less about our geese or any others but if dogs are allowed to run loose and then form packs, it could be children playing outside or young livestock that get attacked next. When this happens we will also have rabies to worry about. We are afraid that if we don't do something now we may be sorry later on. Yours respectfully, Clyde and Linda Mutton, R.R. 2, Bowmanville, Ontario. 76 Elgin Street, Bowmanville,. Sept. 23,1973. Dear Editor, May I have some space for an old worn out subject? What is wrong with the churches? I am a Christian and I believe in regular Church attendance and financial support. I lived 23 years at Orono and couldn't hear one sound in that beautiful United Church. Too bad. I moved to town in August and have been trying to find a Protestant church with good acoust- ics. So far no luck. Deafness is only one handicap. I also have weak knees, and oh, those steps!. I manage if there is a stout railing. But crutches or wheel chairs. Impossible. Jesus summed up His Ministry, when He answer- ed John the Baptist's messengers (Luke 7:22). A blind stranger would have quite a hunt for a pew. And I might add that poor people don't feel welcome at fashion par- EDITORIAL COMMENT Head over heels into a new era Sugar and -By Bill Smiley FAREWELL ENGLAND AND 4 ICE CUBES One last column about impres- sions of England, and if you're already sick of them, turn to the classified ads. Cost. A holiday in England used to be relatively inexpensive, what with lower wages and food costs. Not no more. Costs have soared all over Europe and Britain is no exception. You can still have a cheap holiday there, if you want to squeeze every pence, just as you can in Canada. But that's no fun, on holidays. In the lovely old town of Chester, we paid about $15 for a room without bath. But breakfast was included. Good seats in London theatres cost from $8 to $10.' Meals in a posh restaurant are about the same prices as in Canada - preposterous. Best place to eat is in the pubs, where, at reasonable cost, you can get a hunk of french bread and good cheese, or a plate of bangers (sausage), a slice of veal and ham pie, or a hot steak and kidney pie. Ice. If you are accustomed to ice in your drinks in hot weather, either forget it, or be prepared to fight for it. Order a dry martini and sit back waiting for something ice-cold and uplifting. What you'll get is a glass of lukewarm vermouth, a concoction designed to send you screaming into the arms of the local W.C.T.U. We arrived in Edinburgh, hot, tired and dusty after a seven-hour train ride. Struggled with luggage, cab and got to our hotel room, after riding up in the littlest elevator in the world (No more than four persons or 600 pounds). I was intrigued by the thought of what would happen if four 200-pounders got on. Anyway, when the porter arriv- ed with our bags,, we were stretched out, dying for a cold drink. I asked him to bring some ice. "Ice? Oh, yes, ice. Yessir." Ten minutes later he returned, toting a huge silver tray, bedecked with a sparkling white napkin. The piece de resist- ance rested in the centre of the tray a wine goblet with four tiny ice cubes in it. We roared. He was bewildered. We'd ordered ice, hadn't we? He'd brought ice. Courtesy. Canadians and Amer- icans are friendly souls, on the whole, but our manners are not always exactly polished. We were struck by the courtesy and friendli- ness of the Brits. At bus stops, for example, there is no elbow-punching of old ladies, no sly kicks on the ankles, no every-man-for-himself attitude. There is a politeness, which, though pained at times, is very evident. There's an old tradition, foster- ed by movies and novels, that the English are extremely reticent, to the point of stuffiness, on trains. They're supposed to retire behind their papers, indicating each others' presence by no more than the occasional grunt or dirty look. Why, it's just the opposite. They'll go on and on and on, explaining things, being kindly and helpful until, sometimes when you're exhausted and don't fel like gabbing, you wish the old, grumpy stereotype were true. Only once did I have a slight unpleasantness, and it was my fault. We were catching a train, and were late. Sweating under the luggage, and with our carriage what looked like a quarter of a mile away, I looked wildly around for a porter. The only one I could see was helping an elderly, crippled lady out of a wheelchair, to get on the train. I dropped my bags, gave the porter a hand at helping her up, then slung my luggage into the wheelchair and went beetling down the platform, pushing it. We arrived, and I started to unload my luggage from the wheelchair, to put it on the train. A rather stern railway official looked at my wife, who'd been galloping along behind me, looked back down the platform and spoke, "No, no. That'll have to go in the baggage van." I didn't know why, as it hadn't happened before, but with two minutes to go I didn't care. We put the bags in the van, and he started to fold the wheelchair and put it in. I said, "Oh, no. That belongs here." He turned purple. He had been looking over my shoulder for the invalid, probably expecting an old soul on a stretcher. It was the wheelchair that had to go into the baggage van, not the bags. He had been completely baffled by this example of Canadian enterprise, was embarrassed by his error, and therefore grew a bit black in the countenance. I apologized, with a very sincere look, and offered to run the chair back down the platform, but he gritted something about the train leaving and another phrase or two I didn't quite catch, but which definitely contained the word, "bloody." Close to the Election deadline N.- --~ Corner for 9oets ades. I have seen somë expensive outfits. A drunk in rags? Out! Andwhy does. everyone sit at the back? If Jackie Gleason were com- ing you'd crowd to the front. Maybe that is the key to the whole problem. No I don't mean we want ministers to be Jacke Gleasons. No indeed. What do we want? I know what I want. Jesus Christ and Him Crucified can be told in simple words and retold over and over. Not everyone in a con- gregation has a University degree. Just for comparison read the Church sermon sub- jects in your Saturday paper. Then read The ermon on the Mount. See the difference? Maybe that is one thing that is wrong with the churches. Too much erudi- tion and not enough Salva- tion. Let's consider various church activities. 1. Church visitation. Only once in the last fifty years has a minister of Christ come into myhome, for Bible Reading and prayer. Why not? I like ie and want it. 2. Visiting the sick. 1 spent over three months in, an eight-bed cheap ward in a hospital. There was a dearth of ministerial visit- ors. Why? Maybe because it was cheap. 3. Visiting the bereavedý When my husband died af ter 23 years in Orono, The, Protestant ministers were conspicuous by their abs- ence. Why? I needed them. (Personal experience has made me rather cynical). 4. Winning souls for Christ. Would any modern church member accost a stranger on Tuesday and ask "Do you believe in Christ?" No. Why not? Belief in Christ is the Big Thing in life. Grammar used to teach Active and Passive Voice. Could the churches be weak because they have become too passive? Mosport crowded and churches half empty. Something is wrong. Christ should have more Pull than Mosport. In the meantime-how are your acoustics? Erudi- tion not required. Yours truly, Mrs. E. V. Eddyvean. .. .......... . F41END UN AOM%",
