United Church Women On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Victor Malcolm was hostess for the March meeting of Nestleton United Church Wo- men. Following the theme hymn and the Lord's Prayer repeat- ed in unison, the president, Mrs. Grahame Fish, read a poem, "A Time for Spring". Mrs. Wilfred Vine, in charge of the Devotional, opened with the hymn, "There is a Green Hill Far Away". The Scripture reading was taken from John 19: 1-6 and the hymn "Near the Cross" was sung. Reserve a Place for Yoiu on Golgotha's Hill", was the theme of the message. The scene shows the spectators at the Crucifixion. They are the curious, the morbid, those with open- mouthed stares who did noth- ing to avert this tragedy. That fateful day (Good Friday) was, to that crowd on the hill, the Blackest Friday. Those at the scene were Joseph of Arimathea, Judas Iscariot, but Peter the Rock was missing. Pilate asked "What Could I have done". He lacked the courage to act. Yet, Jesus on the cross, said, "Father forgive them". The soldiers rolled dice for His garment. Mary speaks with a heavy heart as she said that she and Joseph had presented Him to God. Mary is resigned to the fate of her Son and Jesus once said "Wist thee not that I be about My Fathers business. Jesus stood at the cross roads REPORT FROM QUEEN'S PARK by Alex Carruthers, M.P.P. SUNDAY CLOSING AND UNIFORM STORE HOURS With technological and sociolo- gical advances life in Ontario changes from day to day. Social attitudes and needs reflect these changes and necessarily so. In response to these advances, the Ontario Government is constantly introducing new legislation and amending existing laws. One recent example of this positive attitude towards change and indeed, anticipation of trends, is the Ontario Green Paper "Sunday as a Common Day of Rest and Uniform Store Hours". It has long been obvious that the Sunday observance legislation in this province was not as relevant as when it was introduced early in this century. Urban sprawl, shopping plazas, a more mobile population - these are all things which have affected both the consumer's and the retailer's opinion on shopi by- laws. It is these opinions whicthe government is trying to elicit with the green paper. I migh point out that a green paper is NOT a statement of overnment policy, it- merel out- nes policy alternatives an pro- vides an opportunity for all those interested îhroughout the province to respond and present opinions. As a result a four week tour was undertaken of 13 cities from Cornwall to Thunder Bay and the paper was presented in an open forum. The green paper itself is divided into two sections; one dealing with Sunday retailing and the other with uniform store hours. Each of these sections outlines the problem, exist- ing legislation and restrictions, comparable legislation across Can- ada and public reaction to date. Judging by the response so far, Sunday retailing seems to be the most important issue of the two. Many citizens argue that only small "corner" stores of a certain size should be allowed to operate on Sunday and statutory holidays. The small store owner, if forced to remain open to be competitive, often has no personal life; extra help is costly an so the owner works the long hours. Conversely, large stores have only a skeleton staff after peak hours and consumers do not receive the good service they are paying for. Obviously, there are many uestions to be answered before a mal decision is made; we cannot overlook those who want or need to work Sundays. Should legislation be province-wide and to what extent should municipalities participate? Uniform store hours is a ifficult issue too; an issue com licated by the growing number suburban plazas open five to six nights a week. ow that shoppers are accustomed to this freedom in shopping, would uniform hours be an inconvenience? Or result in higher costs? Can legislation fill the needs of a diverse population? As a consumer, I have personal feelings on both these issues; as a member of the legislature, I am forced to look beyond these feelings to the overall picture. If you have opinions on Sunday and uniform store hours, now is the time to voice them. I would welcome any sugges- tions or views from my constituents and will, of course, pass them on to the Secretariat to include in their study. and praved for deliverance - but not My will but Thy will be done. We too stand at the cross roads. Are we spectators? Do we wash our hands of com- mitment or shall we stand up and be counted? Prayer and the hymn, "Beneath the Cross" concluded this part of the meeting. Mrs. Fish extended a wel- come to all and thanked the hostess for her hospitality. Minutes of the February meeting and the correspon- dence were read by the secretary, Mrs. Wilfred Vine and finances' were reported. Correspondence included a letter re the Oshawa U.C.W. meeting in Northminster Un- ited Church, Oshawa on April 3. "Thank you" notes were also received and cards signed for the ill or shutin. The roll call, "The first church I attended", proved uite interesting - Most atten- ed local churches, two at- tended in England, one in Newfoundland. They were closing churches in those days too as two inembers reported that their fi.rst church had been demolished. It was decided to have a Musical Evening and bazaar and it is hoped the new Cook Book will be on sale then. Plans were made for the entertainment in April but it will not be until early in May. The annual spring supper will be at the holiday Saturday as usual (Sec advertising for details later.) Both of these are scheduled to be held in the new Community Hall at Nes- tleton. Mrs. George Bowers gave a reading, "The Bowed Head". A young man repremanded an older man for walking with his head bent. The older man gave some very philosophical advice when he said that the heads of wheat which are filled with grain, must bend, and the empty heads stand straight. From this, the young man learned the wisdom of -age. "The Lady Teacher of 1915" was read by Mrs. Bruce Heaslip and comments were made by Mrs. R. W. Jackson. Following the Mizpah bene- diction, Mrs. Bowers' group assisted the hostess with lunch and Mrs. Jackson voiced the appreciation. Mrs. Don Drew will be hostess for the April meeting. Court Lady Snowbird Court Lady Snowbird Ladies have completed a very suc- cessful but busy week. On Wednesday evening Jean Bolan hosted the District Council meeting when guests attended from Bowmanville, Oshawa and Nestleton Courts. The bus trip, on Thursday, sponsored by Court Lady Snowbird, to Toronto was a very pleasant and profitable interlude. At the Fabric Auc- tion many obtained material to complement their spring wardrobe. Saturday, March 23, was another gala evening when Court Lady Snowbird again hosted another successful dance in the Recreation Cen- tre, Blackstock. The G. B. Merry Makers again provided excellent music to delight both the young and not so young. For midnight refreshments the ladies received many compliments on the tasty Kaiser rolls and coffee. In- stead of the usual salads and cold meats the ladies made forty dozen of the rolls which were apparently enthusiasti- cally received. (480-and that is a heap of rolls) Court Lady Snowbird are complimented on the com- munity work that they are doing as well as their Cancer donations. Sunday Services Presbyterian In the Presbyterian Church, Mr. Rick Glass chose "How the Bible Speaks to Us" as the topic for his message reading second Cornthians, Chapter 12. The Bible speaks to each individual. Can it help modern man who has never been exposed to its teaching? A person who makes daily Seripture reading a habit, knows better where to turn for hein. The 3ible speaks of God's laws - the ten com- mandments. If these were obeyed there would, be less evil and strife in the world today. God said, "My Grace is all you need." United Church In the United Church Rev- erend Victor Parsons chose "Giving Your Applause" as the theme for his sermon reading John 18: 28-40. Mod- ern man feels that he doesn't need religion. Following the war churches were filled for World Day of Prayer services. Now if a service is being held many ask "Why" and only a few participate.
