It was a fine service and we enjoyed the music by the Glenn Allin family ac- companied by Mrs. Lawrence Farrow. A very , special U.C.W. meeting was held in Kendal Sunday School Hall on Wed- nesday evening June 13. Visitors were there from Newtonville, Shiloh, Orono, Kirby, Leskard andalso from the Orono Anglican church, to hear Dr. Constance Jackson a missionary for many years in India. The meeting opened with a hymn from the new hymnary, Mrs. H. Foster read the scripture from Matthew gosp- el, chapter 28 v 16-20. Mrs. J. Fonk sang, "No man is an island, No man stands alone." Mrs. T. Stevens introduced .the speaker who had been a personal friend for many years. She had gone out to India in 1922 as a missionary school teacher but as she visited the villages to get young married girls of per- haps eight years of age to come to classes she found in so many homes people that needed urgent medical attent- ion. She decided to become a doctor and served in India till 1958 when she retired. How- ever, she is still serving in various ways. Dr. Jackson was dressed in a beautiful sari. She said the greatest loss of life was from a ýONTARIO àM * FORSALEBY TENDER I g 30 ACRES HAY Sealed tenders will be received up to 12:00 NOON, I June 27th, by the Ministry of Natural Resources, at I Orono for sale of approximately 30 acres of Hay located on the Orono Nursery property. *Tender forms and additional information available at the Nursery Office, . 983-9147 gmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm gg a Notice to Property Owners à * DESTROYWEEDS I Notice is hereby given to all persons in possession of land, in accordance with the Weed Control Act, 1972 Section 4, 14 and 20, that unless noxious weeds growing onI their lands within the Municipality of Township of Clarke are destroyed by date of not later than the 30th day of June 1973 and throughout the season, the Municipality may enter upon the said lands and have the weeds destroyed, i charging the costs against the land in taxes, as set out in the Act. lThe co-operation of all citizens is earnestly solicited.

She showed Dr. Paul Brand's pictures on his work in healing lepers. He is at Vellore in South India. One leper whose hands had been made useful again said, "I'd like to dedicate these hands to your God." Later he became a Christian and said, "Your God is my God. These hands shall serve him." Dr. Jackson said there were seventeen million lepers in India. Sulfa drugs are a great help. The greatest problem is to get them to come for treatment in the early stages. Miss C. Stewart thanked Dr. Jackson for her interesting and informative talk. A miss- ionary offering of $23.15 was received.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thomp- son of Delta, B.C. have been visiting, Mr. and Mrs. G. Cathcart, and. Mr. Arthur Thompson. On Thursday evening the Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. John Henderson with twelve ladies present. The meeting opened with the Ode. Mrs. W. Turansky read the minutes. The difficulty of selling eighty tickets for the "Luncheon is served" party was discussed. It was then planned to go the the Couroux cottage on July 10, ilth and 12th. The topic for this meeting given by the Histor- ical convenor was taken from the book "The Store that Timothy built". Motto-A fam- ily business that has effected every family in Canada. Roll call - Tell something we receiv'ed from Eaton's when we were children that brought pleasure to our family." This roll call could not be answered by those from England, Scot- land, Virginia, or the Nether- lands, but interesting replies came from the other ladies. One said the Eaton Beauty doll she received at Christmas was all she ever dreamed of. When the big packing box arrived her Dad turned it over and a distinct "Ma-ma" was heard. Another member told of the big box of frozen fish received on the prairie with each fish tagged and named, salmon, bass, pickerel, herr- ing, etc. and even the tail of a halibut. Timothy Eaton was born in Ulster Ireland on a farm in 1834. The youngest of nine children. His father died before he was born and the potato famine cut short his schooling. He worked in a general store from the age of thirteen till he was twenty, collected his wages of one hundred pounds, one suit of clothes and a watch and took passage for Canada. In 1869 he began his own business on the corner of Queen and Yonge, Toronto. On his first advertisement he wrote we seHl for cash only and have only one price. This was to revolutionize business across Canada. He wrote his slogan "Goods, satisfactory or money refunded." Women came in droves. He installed full length mirrors rest rooms, lunch counters, etc. In 1884 the catalogue became "The Homesteader's Bible", "The wishing book." Inl winter the farmer's wife rarely got to town so the catalogue was a source of inspiration and delight. Around 1912 even automob- iles were offered for sale and shipped to mail order custom- ers. Time and space are running out so more details will be given next week. The meeting closed with 'O Canada " and a delicious lunch was p ovided by our hostess Mrs. J. Henderson. Trout to soon climb out of Lake Ontario Residents of Ahe Port Hope area will be interested to know Rainbow Trout and any Sal- mon that may happen along, will soon be able to leave Lake Ontario and Swim past the Corbett Dam and up the Ganaraska River for 68 miles for spawning purposes. While this may not seem too important at first glance, it will none the less, be the first time since 1889. Through the efforts of the Town of Port Hope, the Ganaraska Conservation Authority, the Corbett Dam Memorial Committee and the Ministry of Natural Resources a fish ladder will be construct- ed within the exisiting dam and in operation early this fall. A recent meeting in Port Hope of Interested parties confirmed the foregoing. The dam was originally built in 1889 by Dr. Corbett and others for the purpose of generating electricity for the Town of Port Hope. Between 1889 and 1908, two wooden dams were washed away and finally replaced with a cement structure. Dr. Corbett's first contract was for supplying power to 23 lights which supplemented an existing Town contract with a Mr. Quinlan for 22 lights for 5 years at 20 cents per light per night. It is interesting to note in some contracts electricity was to be supplied from dusk till 1:00 a.m. Service could be discontinued on moonlite nights by approval of the Mayor. While the remains of the Corbett Dam has blocked the Rainbow Trout of Lake Ont- ario from migrating upstream for spawning purposes, it did keep Lamprey from leaving the lake with the same intent. Now with better Lamprey control methods, the fish ladder will enable the desir- able fish to pass the dam and have 68 additional miles of the Ganaraska River available for spawning purposes without permitting the Lamprey to pass. A viewing ramp will be available so the public may observe the fall or spring migration as well as the tagging of the fish by Ministry Staff for management purpos- es. We anticipate in a , few years, a much larger popul- ation of Rainbow Trout in the river which will delight the fishermen. While we expect to have the fish ladder and other major improvements con- pleted by this fall, final landscaping probably will not be completed until next sum- mer. Propose restructuring Voluntary amalgamation of Cobourg, Port Hope, Hope and Hamilton Township may be apparent, after a possible petition is forwarded to the government, through provin- cial treasurer, John White, if Hamilton township does endorse the motion. Port Hope Council passed three resolutions concerning the amalgamation. The first, was to invite officials of the Township of Hope to a meeting, which should be held immediately, to discuss the future of the two municipalities. The second, was that when any formal decision-making meetings be held, all four areas of municipalities should be represented. The third resolution was for the reinstatment of the task force, to study growth and development in the area. The task force began last summer, but was disbanded, when the province did not approve its budget of over $300,000. A proposai made by coun- cillor Charles Wallace, and seconded by Councillor Cole .Locke ended like this. "The advice of the technical task force is vital to the overall planning of the new commun- ity envisaged through a series cf a malgamnations, long ran. planning, servicing and Ian use programs - all requiring the immediate assessments of the potential of the area."- "The reinstatement of the Provincial-Municipal task forces is most essential at this time."
