The occasion was in appreciation, respect and love we bave for Bill and Eileen. We wisb tbem at least another 30 years of success and bappy married life. Pamela Coîrner, daugbter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Colmer, Wellington Street, Bowman- ville bas received Tbe Robert McLaugblin Gallery Scbolar- sbip from Durbam College in recognition of Acadernic Achievement in tbe Design Arts (Grapbic Design), Year By The Rev. N. E. Schamerborn St. Paul's United Churcb Lincoln Steffans, in bis autobiograpby described a dramatic moment at the Paris Pence Conference in 1919, Clemenceau, the Premier of France said, "Gentlemen, I bave beard you talk about a permanent peace. You say yau want a pence to end l wars. I would like ta know whetber you mean that." When the other members nodded tbeir heads he said, "We, the dominent powers will bave ta give up aur empires, tear down the tarrif walls, free aur colonies, and open up tbe world. " Theother beads of state shook tbeir heads and told bim this was flot quite what tbey had in mi. Then Clemenceau, the tiger of France as he was called said, "then you don't mean pence. You want war." This same theme is expressed in Dostoevski's novel, "The Brothers Karamazov." The prosecutor gives the-indictment when he says of a man an trial, "He cari be carried off bis feet by noble ideals . .. if tbey need not be paid for." Everyone wants pence. It's the price of pence we are nat prepared ta pay. t is ensier ta hate war than it is ta recagnize and hate within ourselVes the attitudes and sins tbat lead ta war. True pence, that ever- abiding pence does nat just mean cessation of hostilities between armies and nations. t means the quality of mind and spirit that cames frorn a rigbt relationship witb God. This is what tbe Apostle Paul mneans wben be writes to tbe Romans saying, "Therefore, being justified by faitb, we bave peace witb God." Jesus told the parable of tbe Prodigal Son ta illustrate tbis trutb. It was only when tbe wayward son carne to bimself, wben be saw bimself for wbat be really was, tbat be went borne to change bis life completely around and peace and joy filled tbe fatber's bouse," . . . and tbey began ta, be merry." If we are ta bave a true peace then it follows that we as individuals n'eed ta see ourselves for wbat we really are. We are children of God and if we are ta be rigbt witb our Creator tben we need ta, be rigbt witb wbat be bas created. We need especîally ta, bave a rigbt relatiansbip witb aur fellowman. Gabriel R. Manson wrote concerning five levels of life. "On the first level men say, "We bate you, and we'l lMI you! That's extermination. On the second tbey say 'We bate you, but we'll use you.' Tbat's exploitation. On tbe third tbey say, "We don't like you, but we'll leave you alone.' Tbat's toleration. On the fourtb tbey say, 'You are different, but we know your wortb.' Tbat's appreciatian. On the fifth and bigbest level tbey say, 'We appreciate you and will belp you ta realize ahl your latent powers and capacities.' Tbat's develop- ment." That is alsa tbe prîce of peace. Tbat is tbe foundation stane of al buman relation- sbips. Our nation today is facing troublesome times of testing as there are tbose wbo seek ta cut apart tbis great land and divide its people by language and culture, by geograpby and politics, by race and by religion. Our town is divided on issues of arenas and swimming pools, of power stations and senior citizens bousing, of politics and reli- 'ion. Let us flot allow these contentious issues to separate us. Let us look beyond tbe issues ta ses bebind tbem men and women created in God's image and out of that let tbere corne a new awareness and a new respect for eacb otber. I close witb the tbougbt expressed by Fatber Frank Mihelic in bis prayer at last year's Remembrance Service Ield before the Cenotaph in Bowmanville. "Let us remember not only the war dead, but ail tbat wbicb begets injury, and violence, and suffering in aur society today, and out of tbat remembrance let tbere be a new dedication ta God and bis will for aur lives."

Letter to Editor Dear Sir: Welh, the election is over and I'rn really disappointed in tbe people of Bowmanvihle tbat tbey can be so ignorant and stupid. The reason I say tbey are ignorant is because during tbe past week I bave beard sucb sayings as yaur going ta vote for a "Dutcbman" or if be gets in we'Il nîl be wearing wooden sboes and planting tulips, 50 what, tbe Canadians can't seem ta run tbe country. Being of Dutcb descent, I'rn proud of it, even tbo I'm a Canadian from birtb, some- times I wonder if it's wortb it. People are neyer happy unless tbey cari discrîminate against one another wbetber it be nationality, color, or creed. I wonder wbat they would bave said if it had been a Newfie running for office. We hast this time but tbere's ahways next time, go good luick then.
