At a time when the word 'love' turns up on buttons, on car bümper slogans, and slops out of pop songs as if it wene the froth on a glass of been, Good Frîday impels us to tunn from the ersatz variety and look, however briefly, at the real thing. Gtenuine love for one's fellows, far from wrapping the person who tries to embody it in a cocoon of euphoria, means putting oneseif out -- by inference, a disrupting process -- for someone else. When Lord Donald Soper of Hyde Park and London City Mission fame visited Canada he described bis workç with indigent men. "There's nothing glamorous about it," he said. "When you're wasbing old nfen's feet, you're aware that they're ugfly and that tbey smell. You dont do it for a 'good feeling'. You do it because it bas to be done and you're committed to making yourself available when you see a need." Tbat's what love of the genuine variety is ail about. Good Friday -- the terma is a corruption of God's Friday -- neminds us that every improvement in tbe human condition is bought with what the late German theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, called 'this costly grace.' From Jesus himseif, the long, tbin, valiant line which includes such names as the Tolpuddle farm hands, who organized the first trade union and wene banisbed to Austialia for their pains, Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Tom Dooley and the Kennedys the pice for this commitment was heavy indeed. But. somebow, we move forward on their shoulders. That, in part~ is what Good Friday is ail about. SUPPORT LALONDE Over the past few montbs a nunning battie bas been out in the open between a Toronto gnoup wishing to bring World Football to Toronto and the Ministen of National Heaith and Welfare, Marc Lalonde who now had legislation before the Canadian goverament to stop any sucri league from the U.S operating a franchise in Canada. As solely a spectator ortrMe sport we couid support tht, operation of a WFL franchise in Toronto. It would create greater interest ia tbe sport and no doubt add some new aspects to the staging of football. Whether or not it ivas promoted from the US. would mean very littie to this part of the operation. But, we can't only be a spectator. Tiiere are other aspects of the promotion whicb couid bave an adverse effeet on Canadian football. The promotion of the WFL is to bold a franchise in the richest football centre in Canada, Toronto. *Tiscould well affect every CFL team across the nation as the league teams do operate on a shane basis witb the richest, the Argos, providing financial assistance to other less fortunate team' in the league. The Canadian Football League should be protected from outside interests as it is about the only organized sport left that is truely Canadian and in this we do support the Government of Canada. Late in 1972 the government of Canada did interfer when the cil was consîdering expanding into the U.S. with the result that the League did put a stop to any such thougbt. This was followed by a public statement froin Ottawa. Canadian football does differ from hockey and basebaîl in the fact that Canadian football is completely Canadian contnolled within Canada. It is a prot ective move as fan as Canada is concenned and given this protection the CFL must now improve the league witb expansions and othen improvements which will warrant its existance as a truely Canadian sport. Football is a costly sport and especially so at the amateur and high school level. Howeven some way or othen it must now be pnomoted ta the extent that ln Canada it is Canadian.

Com- mencing July lst, the Govern- ment of Ontario will establisb guaranteed annual income, system, ta be known as GAINS, for Ontario citizens, wbo bave reached the age 65, or Who are disabled or blind and dependent on provincial social assistance.

In future, tris guaranteed income will be increased periodicaily to keep up with thé increased costs of living. In addition ta GAINS, senior citizens, will receive free prescription drugs, enricbed tax credits and broadened exemptions under the retail sales tax. Wben trie different formis of aid are ail put together, pensioners in Ontar- io will receive more benefits than in any other province. Trie most important pro- blem facing us today is inflation. To- offset these rising costs in 1974-75, thie budget provides relief through trie following pro- grams: -Trie praperty tax credit will double from $90 to $180. This is designed to cushian trie in- crease in ail and gas prices. -Sales taxes will be remov- ed fromn fotwear costing $30.00 or less and a long lii of household cleaning. and per- sonal hygiene items. -Transit fares will be fra- zen.

BY SHELLEY LOUCKS They say there's two sîdes to every story, and there's lîkely to be a little conflîct betweeni the Orono Fair Board, the Oshawa Fair Board and council, 'if amal- gamation of thie two agricul- tural Fairs ever takes place. Mayor Riekard and memnb- ers of Newcastle council instigated plans, for amnal- gamation, to present to the region, and according to Mrs. Gordon Brown. Secretary of the Oshawa Fair Board, The Dept. of Agriculture bas made no comments on a regional fair as of yet. In fact, she said that Mr. Stewart of the Dept. of Agriculture stated recently tha t there was no way tha t he would suggest amalgamating into a regional fair. It seems that th is, counc il, which hias not even reacbed the point of organization yet, is taking a giant step, whether or not they are prepared for it. Mrs. Brown, tbe fair boards' secretary of twelve years, said that the biggest factor in, determining the- regional fair's success would be it's location. It may be fine for the people in the Orono district who would normaily have to drive to get to the *fair, but in Oshawa, she said there were many people wb o rely on city transit.1 However, she probably overlooked the possibility thal special buses could be provid- ed. But another probiem could arise, While Osbawa's present fair is held in July, Orono's is, held in September, and Mrs* Brown says there is no way that Oshawa would go back ta that time of year. Oshawa fair's crowds have increased graduaily since they bave moved the dates up from September to August and finaily to their peak in 35 Years Ago Thie Orono Scout group was presented witb it's officiai charter in the Assembly Hall of thie Continuation Sehool, Thursday, April 6, 1939. Reverend S. Littlewood made the presentation on bebaîf of the Group Commit- tee. There were tbirty-two Scouts in attendance. The Millbrook Garnison Badminton, defeated Onono. Fashion Cre IT'S BACK TO NATURE Your bain is possibly your most valuable natural beautysset..t plainest girl looks great if she bas wonderfully sliiny, glos fragrant bain. Poets have called it the "crowning glory"...and i just that. BACK TO NATURE:- July. Now, back in this area, a member, of thé Onono Fair Board wbo simply' did not even wish to:have bis name mentioned said, "I'm taking '. thie matter with a grain of sait". He added, "Now don't get me wrong, I'm flot against progress, but I amn against this amalgamationi." He feels that thie province is trying ta take over ail thie little onganizations sucri as these fairs, and trie same goes for trie small fanms. He certainly is against pnogress! He also said that, if tbey get away with joining these two fairs, it won't be long before others are included, sucb as the Biackstock-fain. Our mystery man agreed with one good point, that the fairs would certainly lose their characterand original- ity if t bey were ta be joined. Carlos Tamblyn, also a member of trie Onono board, wouid like ta see more facts and figures before rie take s any stand. He says tbey bave always beerf veny fotunate working with this fair, and holding it in Septemben, It just wouldn't wonk in another month, rie added. Septemben seoms ta be the right time for farmens, since it is an agricultunal fair this sbouid.be taken into consîder- ation, and it works out alright for evenyone else too. Mn. Tamblyn says thatV bas even told Mayor'Ricka£~,. that if amralgamnation tooký-- place, they would lose ail their labourers from Onono fair, which consists of about 100 people. If the politicians wouid stop chewing each other's heads( off for a whle, 'and look"- around tbem, they might see that it isn't what trie people or the boards want. If it has ta bappen soonen on laten; later would be better! wbo had only Won two. Trie gamne took place in Onono, on Monday evening, April 3, 1939 County Council, in a resc, ution sponsoned by thie Unitec-î Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry necommended that langer education grants be paid out of trie Ontario gavennment's consolidated revenue fund. Until that time 85 per cent of trie education costs were paid by direct taxes on neal estate. the it is For OILY HAIR, béat two egg whites until stiff and then apply to the scalp witb an old toothbrusb.
