ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TRURSDAY, JULY llth>, 1968 ORONO ýJWEïýEKLY TIMES (Akuthorized as Second Clasa mail, Post Office Departm Ottawa) Publisheel every Thursday at the office of publicatioe Main Street, Pyhone 109, Orono, Ontarïo Ebbished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Ray C. Forrester - Editer a.nd Manager To Be Commended The Orono Businessmen are to be commended their effort in promoting again this year the "Shop: Maîl." Not so, much from the fact that they are offei the general public ii host of special prices but rather f the collective effort they are making to promote Or as a business cettre for this area. Orono, like any community, has its problems in ganizing collectively but in this instance they ha yeb successful, for the past two years. There is a realiz& tha t more can be accomplished when everyone, works * gether in a common effort. Collectively the businessmer Orono can devise a greater shopping area not only to t] benefit but also to that of their patronW. Last year the Mail proved novel for those partie ting, both as merchants and customers. This year will no exception and more attractions have been added. Again, congratulations to the Orono businessmen. Unofficial Approach Made In a recent editorial "Out In The Cold" this colu toted the regional developmnent to the west of Clarke Ta srip .and also a study ta be, entertained by a number municîpalities ta the east. It. was also pointed out thai the areas te the west and to the east progressed to a p( of regional governments it would. leave the muticipali of Clarke, Hope and Newcastle out in the cold inw could be a most uneconomic unît. Reeve, Roy Foster of Clarke Township informed this week that and unofficial approach had been made June with a possible view of Clarke Township joining discussions with the municipalities to the west of Cli This approach, he said, was not official atid was made wl he attended, as an observer, a meeting opi regional gov( ment. This meeting concerned the municipalities to west of Clarke Township. Reeve Foster said that' it was logical that if Cla Township was ta be part of a regional area that it sho be associated with the area toý the west rather thanv anyarea to the east. It would appear that at least the ice bas been bro' and we may hear more -of Clarke hooking into the fut in connection vith change to regional government. WHAT OTIIERS SAY Combating Poverty >In the United States there is increasing support the idea that a guaralieed income is the best answer ta problem of poverty. One of the reasons brought forth in favour is that by climination of existing welfare progr. which arc not solving- the pro blems, much money can saVed. Not that the overali cost will be hess, but the, wili be done without giviïng large sums of money to people who do flot need it. In Canada, for instance, it w( mean an end to family alowances ahid many other grams which give government money to everyone, not to those in need. Obe U.S. proponent, Coingressman, William -Ryan New York, says that a guaranteed income of $2000.00 a family of four would replace about 80 percent of e ting welfare costs, and would involve a net cost to the of $4.1 billion. In the recent election campaign, Opposition Leî Robert 'Stanfield proposed that a guaranteed incarme1 for Canada would be a good approach to the probleir poverty, hedging by saying that the budget must be anced before ahything of the sort could be implement<i Since Mr. Stanfield neyer stated what would be sidered the poverty lime below which people would rV- supplementary income from the government, there is way of knowing what the program would cost, thougb s Lîberal critics, including Mr. Russell Honey, citcd ast omical figures, presumably without subtracting the sent cost of family allowances and other programs. If we are really determined to eliminate povertý and morally i a country as rich as Canada there can bE justifiction for tolerating it - we shaîl probably havet dopt a guaranteed income or "negative income tax"p 0f course it will require intensive study - of cours will. take several years to work out alh the probhems in ved, andit is eveYý possible that a better solution Ca: found. But At must be. studied and we trust that Mr.S field as leader of the opposition will keep the idea be Parianrient and the people. -The Port Hope Evening Guide, nent, Th kingdom of God was the most frequent topic in the teach- ing of Jesus. In the, Gospels of Matthew. and Mark, the first preaching of Jesus was the proc- larùiati.on that the kingdom of God was at hanci. The comitg of the kiÈgdom .of God was also the final teaching of Jesus. ,eri' My Kingdom is flot of This World ring Jesus said, "My kingdom is flot from of this world. When the mother of )rono the Sons of Zebedee came asking that hier sotis might sit one on each hand -of Jesus when hie came n or- into his kingdom hie replied, "te' been sit on the right or left is flot for ation me to grant;it is for those to sto- whom it has already been assign- ,n of ed by my Father." In other words, their we cannot pull strings to get into the kingdom. We cannot manipu- late things by knowing the right cipa- people or effecting en.ough high- Il be pressure salesmanship. Not Everyone Will Enter One of the most common, and wrong beliefs about Christianity is that if we keep enough rules, and make la few contributions to good causes, we are automatically in. But we know, if we thihk care- umn fully, that mai>y of our righteous Dwn- gestures are not from the iUurest r of motives for we are much concern- at if ed to 'please people and gain favQr oint in their eyes. Jesus said, "flot ev- ltes eryone 'who cahis me 'Lord, Lord' what will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but offly those who do the *ill of my heavenly Father."1 Jesus' defin- i us ition of doing the will of the [e in Father was "love the Lord your g in God with alI your heart, with al your seul,, with ail your mind, and to love your neighbour as yourself." No One Wil Drift into the Kingdom If we think that we can toy with religioln, play at Christianity and stili enter the kingdom, then we have not taken seriously what Je- sus taught. The kiiigdom is some- thing we enter by striving. J'esus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needie than for a ricli man to etter the king- dom. He did flot say it is impos- sible, but He did remind his dis- ciples that it, is God who makes it possible., "Strive to enter in at the straight gate",, said Jesus, "for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in,. and shahl not be able." The Way The way into the kitgdom is through repentance and faith. Je- sus taught, "I tell you this: unless you repent and become like child- ren, you wîll neyer enter the kingdom of Heaven. Let a maln humble himself tili he is like this child, and he wîll be greatest in the kingdom of Heaven."' It takes faith to receive für- giveness and this is the doorway - through repentance, by faith into the king'dom of God's love. $2,109, IN PROPERTY STOLEN SAY OPP Stolen property in thefts invest- igated by the Newcastle Detach- ment OPP during the month of June totalled $2,109 according to a statistical report released for What Jesus Ta gkt About The ing o f God ROLPH HARDWARE Shoppers' Mail Specials, Sat., .JUly 13 HOOVER S teamt Iron LAWN (7 piece set) Umbrella Ensemble TURFBOY 20 Rotary fMower McCLARY EASY Regular $17.40 Regular $121.29 Regular $78.95 $69.99 Regular $449.95 14 cul, ft.
