Life is a grindstone and whether it ginds a mian down or plishes lm up depends on the stuff he is made of. Josh Billings. New Year's Day was cold and windy, one of those minus days with bars of 5110w blowing across the road. Sunday was a betten day for the celebrations and the skiers. Rev. A. Tizzard told the children the story of the God that some of the Romans worshipped named Janus. This God had two faces so could look backward, and forwards. Janus xas the God who opened the door for the sun to come out in the morning and at night hie locked the door of the cave to keep the sun hîdden. So January is the month of the open door, the month of new opportunities to serve others. In his sermon Rev. Tizzard said that duringa the holiday season we had been thînking of the binth of Jesus and his life but mnost important we knowv that he died and lives again, in commiunication with his church. We pray- that the. presence of the Holy Spirit wvili nemain with us as we go out to our daily tasks in thne New Year. 1 Next una evening there will be a Pot Luck supper in the Kendal SuInday school roomn at five-thirty. Then thene will be a sing song at seven tirty. This event is for ail the people of the Newton- vlle charge.

After Christmas use of tree Road sa it f re.m under Lake Huron About 200 miners work in shifts anound the dlock, seven days a week, in a cavern 1,760 feet beiow Godenich harbon on Lake Huron. In the mines of Sifto sait divisions of Domntar Chemi- cals Ltd., thiere are 40 miles of 64-foot wide roads with inter- sections 195 feet apant hum- ming with trucks, front-end loaders, dnilling rigs, milis and conveyor beits. Like more industries the Mine, which produces about 10,000 tons of sait a day, hias its own jargon. Ceilings in the mine are cailed "the back." The walls of the tunnels being worked are called "faces." The area being worked is caiied a " room," The men who pry loo.se chunks of sait from the back and the side walls after the blasting operation are known as "scalers" and they work from hyvdraulically-hois- ted buckets called "gir-affes." Chunks of rock lef t after blasting are calied the -"muck" and the dnilling machine that m-akes holes in the face for imipiantinig exp- losives is cailed a "jumbo." The major product of the m-ine is road sait whih elts the ice off slippery winter roads and eýats hoies in cars. The se(ond-lirgest seller is fine-crushed sait used mnainly by chemnical in.dustries and there is a grade of sait for water softeners. Sait production started here in 1866 during a n unsuccessf ul search for oul. Geologists discovered the deposit which no-w is known to reach ail the way under Lake Huron, across Mlichigan's upper pen- insula and under Lake i\chi- igan. As tunnelling progresses, four-foot expansion boits are driiled into the back to stabilize the sait as another precaution against cave-ins. When the miners are ready to gouge -more sait out of a room, a mobile rig drills 124 hoies into the surface of each face. The hoies are packed with explosive, a detonator sets off the biast and the faces, each 12 feet in depth, crumbie into chunks. The scalers, the men with the toughest job, arrive with pry bars to pick away loose sait rocks that might fal later. Then the front-end loaders scoop the broken mnuck into trucks, which hiauls about 30 tons a trip. They take it to the under- ground crusher where it goes tp a screeniing and grading Mill.
