Booth A public telephone booth will be installed on the southwest corner of the Newtonville four corners, regional council decided last Wednesday. Council made this decision ini spite -of objections from adjacent property-owned Russell Westwood. Westwood told councillors, at a previous meeting he feared the booth would become a total hangout and considered its location was a dangerous one for cars to be pulling ini and out of. Newcastle councillor Bill Clarke produced a petition last Wednesday signed by 94 Newtonville residents requesting the phone booth be installed. The approved location is on regional property. The phone will be on a pedestal, not in an enclosed booth. Bethany Robert Sisson, supervisor of the local Dairy Herd Improve- ment Association, was bonoured in a number of ways at bis retirement.

On Sunday the Sisson family bad a surprise luncheon for bim at the Rock Haven. We al offer our congratulations to Robert and our best wisbes- to hlm and Marion for a long, happy retirement. st . Paul's Canon Dyer spoke of the similar times in Rome during the time of Jesus as it is today. He said there was corruption plus moral degradation, misery and poverty and yet also luxury for some. Friends asked thîs Jewisb man wby lbe had joined a Christian congre- gation, and bis answer was that only a religion that is true can survive such destruction. He saw sometbing in being a believer of Jesus Christ. It wasn't the working of the cburcb, but lie saw a form of wisdom for if e sbining tbrougb. We too can find about His life and how to live, for tbe world of man is a breeding place for unrest and discon- tent and insecurity. We see littie evidence of peace and good wiil even tbough it is preached by every leader of government. Science, too, can frîgbten us, e.g. the test tube babies, radiation, nuclear bombs, and many of the tbings we read and watch on T.V. are mainly off-balance - our minds are programmed with the bad things. Sure we have moments of bappiness and fun, but generally speaking our minds are filled witb other motivations. But God comes to our rescue in a practical way in Jesus Christ, and it's only as we allow Him to come that we can overcome the destruc- tion and strife that is around us. He died for us but He also lived for us. We bave to have a source of religion to make us realize life is founded on Him. We need Him in our service, in our education, in our living to get our values right and to balance our minds to findý_ bappiness in a world that bas got us a long way off the track, and give us joy and content- ment that is real througb His wisdom.
