Mr. Graham used "Frost - The Breafh of God" as his sermon subject. He said Jesus, in his feachings, took many every day subjecfs. Cold is acfually the "Breafh of God" said the book of John. If is used as an illustration. Frost can cause sorrows and trials, but if is good for the earth. Every day life f00 has ifs ups and downs, but good fhings f00. Frost shows us that under everyfhing God is there. In the ladies' bowling Gerfie Clark had the high single score wif h 246 and Joyce Edwards was runner-up single with 216.

Wainwrighf's subjecf on Sunday. He said we all faîl into temptafions and faîl short when we do nof depend on God. Daily newspapers are full of sadness, ickness, death, disturbed governments, refugees who are seeking freedom.

A Drug Information Pro- gram will be held at the Grandview School on Tues., Feb. l3th at 7:30 p.m. Mr. W. C. Capeling, princi- pal of Grandview, feels that parents should be better informed regarding this sub- ject. He said, "The school experienced several drug- related problems during the 1977-78 school year. Fortu- nately, with, the cooperation of the students, parents, and police officials, the problems were gradually cleared up. To the staff's knowledge, there are no problems of a similar nature in the school this year. This is no reason to become complacent, however. According f0 representa- tives of the law enforcement agencies serving our town- ship, as well as a number of' residents, drug problems out- side the context of the school continue to be. reason for concern. This should not be surprising because our com- munity is essentially no different from any other community in the province. The drug problem will not go away by itself. As responsible parents, we have an obligation to become as well informed on the subject as possible. Nofh- ing is ever achieved by turning one's back on a problem and pretending that it does not exist." Mr. Capeling has been approached by some parents and the police about arranging a drug information program for the community. Therefore, arrangements have been made for Constable R. Par- rington of the Ontario Provin- cial Police to put on this drug demonstration-presentation. Mrs. Capeling had the op- portunity to see and evaluate Colonel Parrîngton's presentation and he and all present went away with a much better understanding of the problems, so he highly recommends it to ahl parents. "Even if you do not yet have teenage children, prepare yourself now to face up to the problems when and if it ever arises." So- plan on atfending this Drug' Information Program on Tues., Feb. 13 at 7:30. M etrie Structure For Postal Rates On 21 December 1978 the Honourable J. Gilles Lamontagne, Postmasfer General, revealed the details of a new metric weight structure for Canadian postal rates. The weight steps for postal rates applicable next spring will be converted 1 July 1979 from, the imperial system f0 the metric system in accordance with the federal policy thaf Canada should become a perdominantly metric country by 1980. The mefric conversion process will not cause a general increase in postal rates . Size and weight limifs, wherever possible, have been rounded in such a manner as not f0 impose any hardship on customers. Because there will be adjustmenfs f0 weighf sfeps in the conversion pocess, Postal rates prevail- ing afthat. fime will undergo some minor alferations. Customers, however, should nof experience any significant change in their total postal expenditures. Upon examination of fhe new metric fariff if will be nofed thaf the majorify of basic (first weîght step) rates will remain unchanged. For example, for first-class domestic items befween 0 and 30 grams the 'cosf will be 17 cents; for fhird-class standard ifems (greeting cards) between O and 50' grams the cosf will be 15 cents; and the cost of letter rate internat ion- al items between 0 and 20 grams will be 35 cents. (If will be recalled thaf these are the rates thaf go info effect on 1 April 1979). Customers now using imeial postal scales are uredf make arrangements wifh the respective scale companies f0 coverf their scales f0 metric in fime for the i July 1979 conversion rate.

Students Are Needed at F orest Centre An oiitdoor education centre north of Kendal may be forced to open its doors f0 students from as far away as Toronto. The Ganaraska Conserva- tion Authorif y has been operating outdoor education facilities at its foresf centre near Kendal and has. provided students from local boards with about il weeks of outdoor education. However, the Authority estimates that the centre must operate at full capacity to break even. As a result, the centre may be made available f0 students from as far away as Toronto.' Extending the range of the centre must still be approved by the executive of the Ganaraska Conservation Authority later this year.
