_____________ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY,* MABR 15111, 1972 1 ;ULrÀNum"Ftrrd6, SNOWM'týOBILES NOT MEANT FOR TRIS On Mý,ondlay of this week a local farmer fromn the sixthli ne area phoned this office to report an incident at whichlihe was appalled. H1e reported that on Sunday a group of four or six snowmobilers liad cornred a fox in one of lis fields and had literally exhausted tne animal chasing it within the confines of the field. The snewmobiles were used to cliase the a nimal and to contain it within tbW area where the motor vehicles could operate. The snowmobilers dispersed when the owner ap- peared on the scene but hie was able to talk to one local snowmobiler who claimied tliey, were having wun. The farmer said it was -a deplorable a'c. tîi ïï I animal was in a state of complete exhaustion. H1e aiso saQd the law wont take action an~d although lie feit lie mïglit like to lay charges it would only cost him time and money, and as a resuit would not lîkely take any action. 1 We in this corner do agree with, the owner that the act was deplorable and that sucli action only destroys that which-is intended to lie enjoyed by snowmobilers. The. sport of snowýmobiling is, in fact, the enjoyment of' nature during the winter montlis. It's destruction only reduces the area of enjoyment for everyone concerned. A group of five or six snowmobiles against a lonely fox is -certainly unfair competiion and is in ne way re- latecI to a sportsmanlike act. Enjey the sport but preserve nature in ail its forms ....it is liaving enougli trouble to survive under present day conditions, witliout deliberate and unequivocal acts of destruction as reported happening on Sunday. B.C. BOTTLE BAN PUTS US TO SHAME It hurts us to say this, but in the civilizing enter- prise of controlluing waste the British Columbia government of W.A.C. Bennett puts Ontario to shanie, Ris province banned - the non-returnable bottié in 1970. Now -he's tightening the Litter Act, providing pen- allies.Up to a $500 fine and six months' imprisonmient for storekeepers refusing to, take back botties at a refund. A 2-cent refund will be mandatory for every container the consumer returns. Ontario liasn't even banned the non- returnable bottie yet - thougli 6 percent of al qur litter is glass. Wlicn a 14-member "committee on litter" reported to Qucen's Park last year, the consumers' representatives, n minority, wanted to ban this, nuisance. "Industry- oriented" members said ne. George Kerr, then. environ- ment minister, upheld the industrialists on the improbable pretext that his department was too muçh a go-go outfit to "waste timie" studying "dramatic" measures. There's nethiug dramatie old, kîd glove regulations, B.C. than 50 per cent of the betties. a clear gain for Ontario. about it. Even under its lias been collecting more. Any percentage would be And there's nothing dramatie about the sober, pro- foundly researched report the Natiional Commission on Produet Safety delivered te the US. government. "Glass bottles used for carbonated beveragess," it said, "present an' unreasonable risk to censumners. . . . Insurance cern- panies reported more injury dlaims rèlated te glass botties than te any other consumer product." Mr. Ben nett, this tîme, is riglit. Ontaro can afford neither the waste nor the injuries associ'ted with millions of discarded bottles. We must ban them. CORRECTION- l'oster Contests.

Meauiuglessness is that liaunt- ing something whicli causes the subtie uneasiness which se many seem te be experjencing. Lay over agaiust this, by way of centrast, the words of Jesus during those last few days of lits eartlily ministry as lie stood be- fore Pilote tlie king and said, "Te -1was I bS u, anid for this 7ivse came I into the worid." la flilm tliere was no, groping uncertainity - ne ýpatlietic readli- ing eut, for something te, grab unto - ne fumbling uneasineqs -- ne aimies waýnderiug. Tliere is a story about Huxley, the noted'scîentist, wlio was on bis way te speak at a meeting of the Britishi-Association in Dub- lin., Arriving late atF the station, lie liurriedly hailed' a cab and commanded the driver te go as fast as lie pessibly could. Away went the cab_, driven madly by the driver ever the cobblestene streets in Dublin. 'lHuxley blurted eut: "Man, de you know wliere you're going?" "No.!" was the reply, "but I'm driving as fast as I pessibly can - just as yeu told me!" That ceuld lie a likeness te the tuner mood of this generation -- it is driviug as fast as it can, un- certain as te wliere it is going, and wliy it is geing there. Hew else ceuld be explain the plienomenon of the drug culture The increase in total sexual per- missiveness? The experiments ln communal living., Se it is that, against the over- whelmingly convincing evidence that se many' of our mederi Soc- iety feel and agenizing meaning- lessness in life, we mnust turn and resolutely searcli for mean- ing. Jesus Christ had faith in the meauing of lits own existence - "Te this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world.' Life lias mneaning wlien it is pes- sjbe te believe 'Eat you are do- ing some good - today,, in tlie very preseut new! A self-centred introspective, es- sentially selish searching fer meaning always ends in frustra- tien and futlity -- apathy or syni- cisrn. Tliere is real rneanjng in the familiar words of Ernily Dickin- son, If I can stop one beant frorn .4reaking I 'shall net live in vain; If I can ease one life the adhing. Or cool one pain, Or help eue fainting robin Unto his ncst again, I s1ball net live in vain. Rew simple! How profound the truth! Sometimes when I think of the people who have everything - that is, it weuldseemi they liave everything of material necessj- ties and luxuries the heart ceuld possibly desire -, yet they are es- eentially lonely and bored and restless, and one day fellows an- other bringing ne more meaning than the first -- I ache for tliem. Tliey *are spoiled because they have net 'learned to serve, and tliey are peevish because they expect te bie pampered. Their lives are' empty of meaning, and lu their solitary moments they expçrience the anguish of mean- inglessness. Ail the time. there is a world lie suspects with bewildermenlt and dismay there is another pur- ppse, in his being. It L5 then that he discovers that beyond the king dom of the world there exists a Kingdom of the seul." It is the "Kingdom of God" within that establishes meanîng. The qualities of kindness, compas sien, forgiveness, mercy, and con- cern give rneaning and realjty te our experience filling life with a sense of purpose and rneaningful- ness.
