FIRST CHURCH Ia 1851 -the expanded. con- gregation moved to a frame church on' the corner of Church and Emily Sts., the iirst church in tme village. it was designed as à Wesleyan Methodist Churcli with no pews but blocks and planks used as seats. This church was destroyed by fire ia 1893. In 1867 a new church was built at its present location on Mill St. The--new church was equipped with a deep-toned bell and a pipe organ. The cornerstoae was laid by Senator John MacDonald of Toronto on May 24 of that year. The first organist of the church was Charles A. Mas- sey, a brother of Chester Massey one of the founders of the Canadian farm implemtent firm. ORGANIST Another %well-known Canad- ian, Joseph Atkinson, later editor and publisher of the Toronto Daily Star was an orga nist at the church in his earlier years. Apparentiy somnetime in the early 1880s Mr. Atkinson played the instrument for 25 cents week. Chester Massey figured in the life of church again in 1909 when he furnished the money ta renovate the interior of the church, replace the old pews and put ia a new altar, pulpît and choir loft as well as a new pipe organ. The Sunday School was also expanded. In 1925 the old Methodist church and the Presbyterian church ia the village combin- ed and became the Newcastle United Church. The activîties at the church aowadays- include a youth dropin centre on Friday nights, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings on Saturday nights and Take-A-Break, a day-care type of arrangement for neighborhood ladies on Tues- day morning.

Lîptay wants to buildfoundlation, John Liptay who has sought a building permit to build a house in Haydon made a further request this time to the finance committee of the Newcastle Town council. He requeqsted that hie be allowed to cnenstrcut his foundations this year and would like to, have the work done by mid November. The Committee turned down the reauest. Mr. Liptay stated hie would like.to be able to construct the foundation'as had Mr. Dennis Thompson in Leskard. Couin- cil previously granted Thom- pson permission' to protect a foundation against the wea- ther. Council, however, giving this approval to Thompson, has charged him with illegal building on'property zoned agricultur e. The finance commrittee fol.- lowed the recommendation of Councillor Entwisle that the approval be turned down as approval would exceed the legal responsibility of the committee. Councillor Ken Lyall also spoke out that the municipal- ity had to abide by its laws. Mayor Rîckard said if council passed an approval contrary to its oy-laws it wouilc not stand up.. Mr. Liptay in his letter said hie' would pay Counillor Hobbs $4.00 an bour to haul his building material to the Liptay barn. Previously Couin- cîllor Hobbs had said that Mr, Liptay could store the. build- ing materials in hiS own barn to protect them during the winter. *CONFECTIONERY ANDe *GIF¶'S *ORONO, ONTARIO* Special 8 8in 0 PERFUMED * CANDIE on stand with: f floral1 ring * * compIete $8.95 *Save $2.55 * Phone 983-5242 e Main Street A Civic Service of wil be held at Bowmanville Cenotaph -on- Saturday, November 9th 10: 45 a.
