Bitter WE'LL GO OVERDOARD? Last week watching the CBC Journal a presenta- tion was made relating to the computer in the 1980s. Now there is no doubt that the use of'the computer will bring about many changes in the way we live in the future but let us not, all of a sudden, go overboard, forget about other values that are'a requirement of a ful life. The Journal, continually throughout the pro- gram, made the point that young people were receptive to the computer where on the other hand aduits had a tendency to shy away from the machine and even show soefear. To make this point the program showed a young five-year old operating a computer and cettainly gave the impression that the youngster was familiar with the machine. She would press a button and 'B' would show on the screen along with the drawing of a bear. This no doubt could be repeats for other letters of the alphabet. Surely this is no great accomplishment for the computer is programmed to place the 'B? and draw the bear. The child is no genious and there is certainly no challenge for the child. A chicken can 6e taught to peck at a lever to get a kernel of corn and although it can we still feel it is a dumb animal. Would it not be a much greater achievement for the child to attenipt the drawing of the B along with the bear which exercise would present a challenge and development attitudes. In another sector of the program it showed a summer camp where canoes were stacked up while students spent the mai ority of their time with the computer.1 One has to ask, are we going overboard? The point was also made that the computer can take the druggery out of lcarning where repetition is a re- quirement. We doubt this very much and tnight ques- tion if it is the cruggery of learning or teaching that is the concern. The computer is only a tool and its effectiveness and usefulness is based soley on the knowledgc of the operator in the subject area in which the computer is performing its chores. There is, of course, the need for training in computer operation but first there has to be some basic skills and for our part this must corne first. As to the fear of the computer nearly everyone has for years been operating a computer of sorts when they sit behind the wheei of a car. First they make the decision in which direction they want to go... .ahead or back, then pull the gear shift for the computerized car to go in the selected direction. Lets not go overboard and forget the basics and that the computer is only a tool. Letter [to Editor Dean Sir: As there appears to be con- fusion oven the proposed gar- bage contract for Ward 3 residents, I would appreciate the opportunity te claify through youn column. In the press of Octoben 27th, 1982, the Town placed an ad outlining the areas pro- posed te be included. For the information of the taxpayers - ONLY those neceiving the service pay for it thnough an addîtional charge on thein tax bill under the heading, "Special Mcea Rate." Those taxpayens living in rural areas and those not receiving the service do not pay for gar- bage pick-up in any instance. The contract pnice for 1982 averaged out te $43.00 per house. For 1983, we would expect an inflationary in- crease. If by any chance the bids (which can be mnade by any pivate firm) came ini with alarmingly and un- justified increases, then the Counci1 of the day need not proceed with the awarding of the contnact. The extension of the gar- bage pick-up service presently being considened by Council is through the awanding of a contract through competitive bidding to a private finm and is definitely not being con- sîdened as an added local government staffing cost. Thank you for allowing me this clarification. Respectfully, Diane Hamne Regional Councîllon Ward 3 Kendal News Give Lavishly! Give Abun- dantly!

Piercey Chair- man 'of- the Oshawa Pnesbyten and the "Joyful Noise" singers of Peter- borough. At Kendal the scripture reading was St. Matthew 8: 1-13 the topic of Rev. A. Tiz- zard sermon was Faith in Ac- tion. the centurian had faith that Jésus could heal his ser- vant by simply giving the command. At the presbytery meeting on Tuesday night Oct. l9th in Kendal Church the ordained man from the South Seas (Somoa) told us that his ancestors had been cannibals but about 150 yeans ago George Gordon a Presbyterian Missionary went from Prince Edward Island on a sailing vessel, a journey that took ten months. A few months later the natives kilI-' cd andate him. When even- tually the news reached the Gordon famnily in Prince Ed- ward Island his brother James Gordon said, "I wilI go to those people of the South Seas and tell them of God's love." Eight months later James too was killed and caten. When word came eventually to his mother she said, "I wish I had another son to send. " Howeven, some one had a son to send and Rev. Allan Nasuki said our people are Christians today. Rev. Mr. Tizzard went on to say, "God just had one son. God sent his son into the worîd that the world through him might be savcd." Now Mr. Tizzard asked this Rev. Allan Nasuki from the south seas if he would like to meet a descendant of the Gordon famiiy -who now lives at the eastern, end of the sixth lime. He said hc would so Rev. A. Orono Building Contractor Brick.

The centurian was reward- ed for his faîth. The Cordons didn't live long enough to sce the reward for their faith but the islands are Christian today. The faith of our fathers should be living still in us. Someday we will hear the Master say, "Weil donc thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." 1The ladies of the congrega- tien are neminded that we would like them te brîng crafts such as knitted articles, sewing gaines, home baking, vegetables, anything that will sell to our bazaar on' Novemben I3th at 2 p.m. One of the visitors at chunch on Sunday was Hilda Peddar of Coeenfield Park, Quebec. She is Don Peddar's mother. The people of the Kendal Area were so anxious to keep their school open that they sent around a petition. One hundred and seventy'seven people signed it. Then a delegation of young parents attended the Board meeting on October 26th in Cobourg. Mrs. Keith Wood presented the petition, and answered the questions asked by the members of the School Board. Then a vote was taken. The school will remain open for another year that is tilI the end of June 1984. Appreciation is extended to Mrs. Anlene Mercer ýwho canvassed the area for signatures and to ail those who formed the b delegation to attend the meeting in Cobourg. Some of the Kendal folk attended the Laskard bazaar a very fine bazaar. We viewed the recently completed Cemetery Cairn of the Lawrence Cemetery on the fifth linea short time ago. 1 found it most interesting from a' histonical point of view.

People corne from ail over Canada to trace their roots. Many of the stones tell the bithplace of a pioneer e.g. Scotland, Ireland, often givingthe ex- act town. A pretty wedding took place in Kendal church 'on Saturday afternoon, October 30th 1982 when Rev. A. Tiz- zard united in manriage Patricia Walsh daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John de Jonge to Peter Bunke son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Burke of Peterborough. The maid of honour was Theresa Walsh and the littie flower girl Jessica Walsh. The ushers were David Walsh and Paul Burke.
