Granmt for Kendal Park goes to adhoc committee In a report ta council on Monday the Director of Community Services, T.A. Fanning, recom- mends that councîl recon- sider the funding of a con- traI fence in the amount of $5,500.00 for the Kendal Park. The figure was orginally included in the 1982 Capital Forecast but since was deleted. The Kendal Recreation Association was informed that they would have to raise the $5,000.00 through donations ta have the contrai fence or an over hang screen on the present backstop at Jackson Park. In his report ta counicil Fanning points out that the Association has neyer applied ta the Town for grants in the past and have always miaintained their park in the hamlet. The report states that the Association feels Ken- dal is too smnall ta raise the $5,000 and in fact it is not fair when other corn- munities that can raise the funds through donations receive a municipal grant from the Park Reserve. Fanning stated it was hîs opinion that the re- quest from the Associa- tion should be recon- sidered. A motion was passed by council ta reconsider the re- quest and then a second mo- tion referred the matter toaa special ,cammittee of the' Mayor, Garnet Rickard ýand chairman of the Generai Pur- pose committee, Counc. Hubbard, and staff ta bring a report forward to the next meeting of the General Pur- pose committee. JayCees must pay all rentai charges In a report ta council the Community Services director, T. A. Fanning recommends that the St. Vincent de Paul Society history. In 1853, Fudue Ozanam, then a twenty year aId studied in Paris and somne young friends af his felt inspired together with Bailly, their senior, ta anite themsclves in the service of the poor in a mast humble and discreet way and within the framnework af their proIes- sional and faniily lives as laymen. They feit the need ta -bear witness" ta their Christian faith by actions rather than words, They regarded the unfortunate as their brothers, whoever they were and whatever the nature of their sufferings. In them they saw the suffering Christ. They loved them bath as men and as children of God. They recognized in themn the dignity aI men faced with the world and its measures, and also their dignity as those ta whom, first of ai, the Kingdamn of Gad is given. Once they had made per- sanal contact with the poor, they saw that charity is in- separable from the demands of justice. To the best of their ability, they claimed justice for the poor. It is flot always passible ta obtain for the poar. It is flot always possible ta obtain justice here belaw s0 they tried at ail times ta do at least what depended on themselves, simple students - ta give, personally, what the poorest persan cari give, a share of his time, of his modest means, of bis presence, his conservation and ai that car. be donc in an effort ta relieve effuaciously. As a result af this dialogue it becamne apparent ta them that, ta understand the poor it was first necessary ta be poor with them., T-o live in such personal contact with those who suf- fer, to liveunited tagether in such a spirit, that is the very essence, the original character af the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. In the light of the age in which they lived and as laymen. Ozanam and his friends showed a pro- phetic foresight. They drew from the very sources of the Word of God and the Chris- tian tradition. In 1885, the first con- ference was established in Peterborough Diocese.in the- Cathedral of St. Peter-mn- Chains parish. In 1978, the Society was reborn in Peter- borough with' the establish- mei of the Peterborough Conference which operated under the original Cathedral charter and which represented ail city parishes. There are conferences in 120 countries circling the lobe. St. Francis af Assisi, Newcastle, established a Con- ference in Februâry, 1982. The members working in pairs carry out their mission primarily through visitations during which they strive ta get ta know the persan and ta assess bis needs with the am af helping ta help- himnseIf. Forms of Assistance pro- vided are food vouchers (for local grocery stores) clothing, furniture, personal and spiritual needs. The Society is in the grow- ing process and mare volunteers, who have a few hours ta spare, are needed. For mare information cail Mary Hegarty, 983-247 or Lea Van Hezewiyk 983-5023.

Fanning points ouf that a number of complaints were received Iast year when -the event was held in the arena due ta noise, behaviaur and trespass- ing. He also said it was flot Town policy ta waiver the rentai fees o f an Y arganization requesting the use of facilîties that have a fee structure. he said the Town would have ta campensate the Sports Centre for the ioss in revenue and ta waive the rentai -wouid open the door for other requests.
