SITE On Thursday, March 21, 1974, the Honourable William Newman accompanied by Alex Carruthers, MPP for Durham,and Mr. Wes. Wil- liamson, Director of the Waste- Management Branch of the Ministry of the Envîr- onment, visited the proposed CPR waste disposai site in Hope Township. The group, guided by Mr. Kenneth Ashby, and the HOP.E.,group made a two hour tour of the site, which proved most informative. The wooded gorges and streams were of particular interest and while time did not permit an examination of the easter- ly section of the site, the streams draining the area were examined and discussed in detail with Mr. Ashby. The number of very large roc ks in the area, which is landlocked, woul indicate the unsuitability of the site for agriculture but the visit empbasized the fact that the wooded areas as a habitat for wild life must be preserved. The visit of the minister and the valuable discussion with Mr. Asbby will prove of value in any future decision re- specting the use of the site. -XLEX C XRRUTIIERS Province pumping more into education O)ntario Government is - . pum-ping more money into eduicaion thIan ever lbefore, ýetingEduation Minster Thomas eti..Wells said last week.

Mrs. Carson'fhank- ed everyone wbo bad belped, wifb the program. Devotions were given by Mrs. Wm. Armstrong Sr. She spoke of Israel's Hymn Book - The Psalms. If is the longest book in the Bible and in many ways the most beautiful. The 150 Psalms xere collected over a priod of several bundred years. Tbey are recognized byý crities as perfect lyrie poems bofb in form and in the outpowering of the finest emotions of the human soul. David is said f0 bave written or made famous 73 of the Psalms. He wrofe Psalms 23 in remembrance of bis early life among the sheep folds. If is probably repeated more offen than any ofher fragment of poetry. One' of our mosf favourife hymns is taken from Psalm 121. The poef who wrote this Psalm was probab- ly inspiredon a pilgrimage, and was a song sung by the people as fhey came in sight of the Holy City of Jerusalem. In Psaim 42, the Psalmisf likened is thirsf for God,' whom he believed fo be in the temple, f0 thaf of an animal being hunfed inchase. The Psalter touches the spirit of man in bis many moods. To be familiar wifh the Psalms is f0 flie icader buflia .cultural experience and a sbaring of the religious life of countless millions fhroughout the ages. mrs.
