E*ior EDUCATION AND RECREATION Over the past five or six years Boards of Education became involved in the promotion of recreational ac- tivities wfith financial assistance from the Ministry of Education. Through each systemn in the province non- credit night-school courses have mushroomed for almost every conceivable form of recreation and pro- jects associated with art. The Educational System penetrated an area which previously was held by most recreationai departmnents in the various municipalities. As a resuit, and as money was provided through the province the educational system lias taken over this formi of promotion in the communities and sucli has been the case in the Town of Newcastle where a few years ago it was found that the Town and Educational System were, in some instances, promoting similar programis for the samne people. Why the Ministry of Education entered this field is beyond comprehiension other than at the time money was not a problemi and someone in the government sold the idea as something the Ministry could be involved with. Recent reports have it that Bette Stephenson, Minister of Education is now ready to eut off grants for sucli non-credit high-school courses. No doubt now its the Iack of availability of money and possibly the realiza-, tion that the Ministry should take no part in non-credit course relating to recreation and art. Certainly the Ministry lias made it a lost easier for some to follow their hobbies and to obtain a sizeable funding for, the hobby. That appears now to corne to an end. It does not necessarily mean that ail such courses have to end for there is stili the ' course open for local organization, and if you will, pay as you play financing. CONGRATULATIONS The Annual Oronio Figure Skating Carnival is now* past but we would like to pas s along a few words of con- gratulations to the group including the officers, workers, parents and of course the children in providing yet another fine showing at the Orono Arena. No one can take anlything away from the young skaters, whether they can skate or not. They are just too quiet when ahl dressed up to performi on ice one way or another . They are always a hit and will continue to be so as long as the carnival is promoted. It was quiet noticeable at this years carnival that as figure skating develops internationally so does it on the local scene. Certainly the most senior members of the Orono Club, Scott Maybee and Stephanie Hlood, both per- formned excellent solos and in fine formi. It lias to be a mneasure of the calibre of the Orono Club even thougli we well know that both have advanced far beyond the scope of Orono. There are also, other rising stars coming forth and no doubt they will be seen over the next couple of years. Congratulations Orono, you did wcll!

In fact I arn sure they wouid have blown away on the way ta Church. Beth Cuthbert tells us that climnatologically spring ar- rives Aprili 3th. He tells us that this ycar it will be bclow normal till April 2lst. "And when the wintcr is over the boughs wili get new leaves The quail come back to the clover And the swallow back ta the caves." On Eastcr Sunday morning wc welcomed Easter visitors. With Mr:~ Don Peddar was bis mother Mus. Hilda Ped- dar from Greenfield Park, Montreal, Quebec. Witb Mrs. Jan DeJong was ber daughter and busband Mr. and'Mrs. David Walsh and daugbter Jessica of Kit- chener. The scripture rcading was St. Luke 24: 1-12, Rcv. A. Tizzard chosc as bis sermon tapic: "I *am free." Wben Jesus was brought before Pilot for the sentence Pilet wantcd to remain neutral. So Pilot askcd the crowd, "Whtom shah I1 release on this fcast day Jesus or Barabbas?" Now Barabbas was a murderer. The crowd answered Barabbas. Somchow it was God that relcased Barabbas, Just as long ago Pharoh released the chiidrcn of Israci. t was God that set thcmn free, Jesus died to set Barabbas free. What becamfe of Barabbas? Many If's been a great few days, at least in Southern Ontario. My wife and 1I Snt to "On Golden Pond" on a recent Fri- day night, and that was a great start to the weekend. We've reached the stage in our own lives whffere older couples holding hands, literaîly or figuratively, is a great comfort to us. We were out in the country on Saturday and Sunday, and although it was overcast most of Saturday, Maere wie vere, it cîeared Saturday night and the stars were billiant. Bright sunlight flooded the bedroom Sun- day morning and wcke us earîy. Our old cat, who nests on my wife and who likes to sleep as late as any of us, wvas up first. He sensed somrething before wde did. He prowled im- patientîy, squawking the occasional protest, as he waited for me to finish dres3sing. As soon as I'd tied my shoes, he headed for the stairs. He's fourteen 'years old, which translates into about 98 in humnan termis, and although he's stil capable of a good turn of speed, his old bones are a bit stiff in the morning. I hed to go slowly behind him as he creaked his way dowin the stairs. He ment straight out on the deck and spent most of the morning there. There's a little corner of the deck where the sun beats in and which is out of the prevai1i ngvwi nd, and Mhen it warmied up a bit, that's wvhere he stayed, blissful. I watched him from time to time. He'd doze for a Mhile, soaking up the heat of the sun, 'and then, still drowvsing, bis eyes haif shut, he'd lift bis greying muzzîe and sniff the air. He's a hopeIessly domecsticated animal after 14 years with us, but when he lifts his head and uses his nose for a whiîe, 1 think he bas a better idea of what's going on in our vicinity than I fluid if 1 spent haîf an hour looking around wvith the binoculars. And be knew there was Spring in the air, even before ha got downstairs. Tbat's "by be vwas ini sucb a burry. At 9%, you don't know how maàny Springs you've got Ieft, and you don't wvant to miss any.

MINISTRY BUILDING NOT CREATING BUILDING BOOM The Ontario Ministry of Revenue building whîch will open in Oshawa within the next six months with tbe employrnent of 1550 workers is flot, as yct, creating a building boomn in the ci- ty. It bas been announced that of the 1550 employees 900 will commï-ute to Oshawa from the Toronto area. Two bundred and ninety-five of the present employees already live in the region. A furtber 120 have located in the Oshawa area but of these only 60 moved te Oshawa. It is expected that further workers at the revenue office will in the future move ta the Oshawa area but this may take somte time. writers have suggested what might have taken place in bis life. One suggested that he returned ta his wicked ways and was sentenced to an island where be met a slave witb the fisb symbol around bis neck like a locket. From this slave he lcarned of Christ and becamne a Christian. Like Barabbas we have ta go out into the world and testify that Jesus is our Saviour. He is alive. We are free like Barab- bas because Jesus died and lived again for us. The flowers at the altar Were in memory of Robt. Hancock. On Good, Friday, April 9th. Mrs. R. Elliott, Mis. J.
