E'ducation, with Terry Hawkins This may sound a bit crazy, but I advi read my newspaper with a pair of typE scissors. Not literally, of course, but abs( -always have the scissors handy so I was can clip out items of interest. When I to e( finish reading the paper, it's just a advi pile of scrap,, and anyone who tries help to read a paper after me has quite a cosi job on their hands. As you can well I imagine, everyone tries to read the absi paper before I get it. If there's easi anything worse than reading a deal carved up paper, it's the curiosity arti, one has to Iearn what those clipped indi out articles must have said to make 211 them worth clipping in the first absi place. imdi I don't just clip articles, of course, Car I clip pictures, advertisements, and yeai anything I feel is interesting. If I find con. the picture of someone I know, I will Anc probably scribble a note of the congratulations on it and send it off that to the person. If it's an article about absi some new product, I throw it in my mnc file to see how long it takes to corne proi on the market. Not very exciting whi stuff, but it makes reading more absi meaningful. anc Frequently I get ideas from hre newspapers for inclusion in this he column. In a recent advertisment in are "The Financial Post", I clipped an ar FREE, Your Child's Portrait ertisement which stated,_ in bold e, "Ar e you concerned about ;enteeism?" My first' reaction sthat the advertisement referred ,ducational institutions, but it was ertising a company which would pbusiness and industry control tly absenteeism. As an educator, am always concerned about ;enteeism at schools, and can ifly forget that it's a problem to be lt with everywhere. Another dce which I recently clipped iicates that Canada is losing about million dollars per day due to enteeism in business and Lstry. The finiancial impact on nada is 7.7 billion dollars per r. No wonder there are sultant firms for industry to hire. d the firms apparently can help Ssituation. One company found it they were able to eut their enteeism by haîf by orporating some special grams. There are many things Lch can be done to curb senteeism, but prompt follow up d the concerned personal factor atwo of them. They certainly do [p, because we are using them in school situation and the results * very rewarding. NEu"WS S Nine members of Kendal Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. Diane Wybenga last Tuesday for a class on indoor gardening.

On Saturday, October 27 the Minor Pee Wee Toros hosted the Oshawa Black Hawks and were shut-out 1 - 0. The gane was played very quickly with few whistles to slow the tempo. Oshawa kept the Toros off balance most of the game with their fine positional play hours and good forecbecking. How- ever, Toros had theli b y a moments when Greg Martin, gift Peter Hughes and Mark S. Hickey had fine scoring chances but faîled to regu- capîtalize on them. Good else. defensive work by Chris Moroz, Warren Short, lan - Wbeelock, and Robbie Ball along with fine goaltending b) * Ken Cameron kept Black a . * Hawks off the scoreboard until 9:35 of the final period wher /.17 Osbawa's Tim Fenton soe after Ken Cameron had made 5 p.m. a fine save but could not smotber the rebound.

Wainwright, and their wives and they crowded excitably into the bus driven by Anne Beamish and off to Toronto! Leaving the bus, taking up ail of the Bishop's driveway and part of the sidewalk, we were graciously welcomed at the doorway by the Read family, the Bishop, Mrs. Read, Peter, Martha, Elizabeth and "Snoopy". Then dinner and what a scrumptuous dinner! With what enjoyment and laughter it was attended! Every available seat and floor space was filled while the Bishop showed some interest- ing artifacts he had acquired on his travels. Questions, intriguing and tricky, were answered and then the grateful guests bid their hcsts and hostesses good-bye, and thanks for a most enjoyable, memorable evening. A birthday party f0 celebrate Mr. Tom Morton's 85th birthday was held at Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Morton's home. Happy bîrtbday, Mr. Morton! A group of thirty-five people who forma the Rhythm Rascals Band came from West Hill on Oct. 17 f0 spend the day in the area. The band after operating for many years and givîng enjoyment f0 senior citizen's groups, high school students, college students and those in nursing homes bas now decided f0 disband.

Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Larmer of Keene were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. McMahon. Canon Dyersaid that Oct. 28 ithe church is a day to remember two disciples, and ihe spoke of the work of Simon, tthe zealot and Judas or Jude as he was later called. At first they were disciples and later were apostles. The Zealots became a secret sociefy among the Jews. Jesus saw spiritual possibilities in Jude and he became a faithful witness f0 Jesus and later a 3saint. Simon at first thought Jesus would become their political leader, but found He wasn't interested in politics. Simôn dealt in violence and destruction but Jesus showed thlm a different way to deal with people. The Jews had f0 carry a Roman soldier's pack one mile, but Jesus said fake if the second mile f00, thus he undercut the passion and hafe. We go the second mile when ewe overcome evil with good. The only record we have of Jude was when Jesus was at ethe last supper. Jude hwondered why Jesus was eleavîng them and he was sthinking of the world while Jesus spoke of individual souls in answer f0 Jude's question.. -The redemption of the r individual is basic f0 sociefy 1,and we cannot have Christian kaction until we, have Christians, as violence will not jaccomplish this. s Senior Citizens' Bowling n The Cobourg Senior Citizens [j ade a return visit f0 the yGolden Stars Senior Citizens kon Tues., Oct. 29fh for a ýIfriendly bowling competition. ri Cobourg won the overal d score and the Golden Stars epresented prizes f0 the high ,tscorers on the Cobourg team.
