Forrster, Editor An Unfortunate Trend - We Feel Over the years there has been numerous changes in thle promotion of' dances going froîn the home or- chiestra of a fiddle, piano and possibly drumns to the saxophone-brass-rhyt hn ensemble, dise jock jes, rock bands and counry and westerni. They have ail had thecir fling on the band stand. But this is only one of the changes noted throughout the years. The bar became a necessity if any dance in the fifties, sixties and sevent ies wvas t o have any degree of success in attracting the general public for anl evening of dancing. The bar has, up to the past few years, been operaied on a pey as you drink basis and il was up to the individual just how much they were will- ing to pay for that extra at the dance. The options were open to ail to either partake or not. The new trend, and it is appearing ini Oronio as well, no doubi, across the country is to jack up fthe priec of admission which includes not only the dance but also the use of the bar facilties ai 1no further cosis. This is, ini fact, an open invitation in the promotion of liquor. No doubt il imust have fînanicial benet'its for the promoters and the extra beyond the dance mnust More than pay for consumption. It does discrimninate against the no-dike ho might wish to attend a local dance nd it appecarsý it could open up abuse over wvhich onie couild have ittle cotrol. Aparty pays for the fuli use ofithe bar aitd hax- ing paid for that facility could wecll miake their dcmnai,îd beyond what may be reasonable. A recent Court case in w.estern Ontario displays the ramifications and responsibilities une hiolds tui operating lîquor outlets. li may have been thec firsi such case but there could now be othiers and a s called l'tee bar may hold other problemns ini such cases. It realUy is somnething to think abot \ when todav there is so much concerni eNpressed ovecr drinkîng and driving and when we cati expeci more sitrîngoent enforce- mnent and tougher court rulings.

There may be snow, high winds mnay blow, 1 splutter, sneeze and cougb. But days are stretching, somne birds sing l'Il maniage to sur-vive tilI spr- ing. Sunday morning was a fine sunny inter's day. We wene sunprised and pleased to have Mr. -Frank Stapleton deliver the Sunday morning message. Mrs. Lynda King was ilI and unabte to come. It was Lady and Baden Powell Day. We just had one Boy Scout in at- tendance. Perhaps our Brownies and Cubs attended at Kirby. One of the subjects Mr. Frank Stapleton touched on was the need to continue Religious Instruction in tbe area scbools. What a tragedy. it would be if a child should graduate without a knowledge of the wvisdom found in the wortd's greatest book. It bas been my ex- perience that the children looked forward to the religious period as the highilight of the week. Why, niot wNrite a letter to Mr. H.0. Knapper, Administration Of- fice, 834 D'Arcy Street, Cobourg, Ontario or better stili send in a petition? Mrs. H. Foster took Miss C. Stewart, Mrs. M. Stevens and Mrs. A. Cathcart 10 visit Rev. and Mrs. A. Tizzard on Thunsday in their new apart- ment in Port Hope. We were plea sed to see Rev. A. Tiz- zard $0 much improved.

His nose was swotlen, his cheekbones and forehead black and blue. 1 said, "Wbat happened?" He said, "After supper t said to my wife 1 tbink l'Il go for a walk. it %vas quite dark. 1 came to this place whiere someone bad taken a wire fence off the posts and tefItheli wire lying flat on the sidewalk. 1I tripped on the wire and went down fiat on the cement, breaking my glasses. Fortunately my glasses were plastic so they re- miained in one piece, glass. ones migbit have gone mbt my, eyes." Some people are so, neglectful of tbe safety of others. One lime on the prairie when I was young the farms were not fenced in.

The Authority was faced this year with a twenty per- cent levy increase 10 local municipatities and in an ef- fort to reduce Ibis increase to tess than four' percent made the Forest Centre cuts atong with others in the overali operation of the Authority. Counc. Hamre said the Task Force is 10 report their findings within ninety days and it is possible they will be holding public meetings when the general public may have input. To this point the course of the Task Force bas not been establishied by the committee.

The Forest Centre is rented during the summer montbs, July and August, by the Ministry of Naturat Resources, for use for the Junior Ranger program. The day before she left for England Polly packed everything. Dr. Barnardo sent a Bible and a book called "Pilgrim's Progess" and Emma knitted her a shawl with smalt bluebetîs patterned on it. Polly had neyer bad such wonderful things. Dr. Barnardo met the car- niage at the railway station and travelled with the girls to the Liverpool docks. "You're going to a brigbt and beautiful country," lie told them. "You will be fan away but not forg-otten. Work bard in Canada and always hold fast to Christ. Rememiber that He is your best friend.- Dr. Barniardo hurried themn onto the ship. Girls fnomn other childnen's homes had atready boarded and the Bar- nardo girls joined them on deck. Suddenty the ship's whistle sounded and the ship began 10 move away fromr shore, hundreds of brightty colouned ribbons wvere tossed into the air. Polly badn't realized how long the trip would take. It seemed to go on forever, weeks of seasickness; endless foggy days on the St. Lawrence River; then a long night4wiquaranitine in a soot y shed at Levis, where the ship docked, and a last nigbt i Montreal, wýhere the girls were sorted out to be sent to their final destinations.
