Editor What foot Wears the Shoe While the Canadian- Auto industry *and. associated labour groups express deep concerns over the imiports of foreign cars and especially'those from Japan the steel makers of this nation and their associated labour groups express a concern over the possible loss of export markets to the United States where the steel in- dustry, like the Canadian auto industry, are looking for import restriction to protect their own future. There appears a great similarity between the pliglit expressed by the Canadian' Auto industry and that of the steel industry in the United States. Canada&s auto manufacturers grew fat, and we would contend to let the opposition.take over through the lack of applying new technologies to the industries and with a feeling that the Canadian public would continue to give them support even though many of their pro- ducts were appearing to be inferior and not in tune with the times. The United States steel industry were forced by their goverfiment during the years of the Kennedy regime to roll back prices thus-reducing capital for new technologies and the updating of their plants. As a resuit, the industry is now far behind other competing steel plants as in Canada, Japan and Korea. They are unable to compete both in quality and price and wthout import restrictions could fail even farther behînd in th e market place. Thousands upon thousands of workers have been out of work for a number of years., If the United States government would follow a policy of restriction it could have a very big effect on employment in the steel industry in Canada. Government control on the steel manufacturers in the U.S. has only had a detrimental effect on the iný- dustry in the long term which affects flot only the U.S. but could weil have a devastating effect in Canada if Reagan should support the government plan to impose restrictions on the imports of steel. > Industry must remnain competîtive and must keep pace wîth new advancemnents in production. It must also be well aware of the trends and be able to operate with sufficient capital to meet necessary capital costs to maintain their competitiveness. Peterborough hydro source now xvTrestojured A seventy-five year oid tur- bine hias corne out of retire- ment and gone back into ser- vice th supply the Peter- borough-l Utilities Commiis- sion with 1.6 million kilowatt hours of power per year, Federal Energy, Mines and Resources Minister Jean Chrelien and Ontario Energy Miniser Philip Andrewes an- nouniced today.

The choir anthem was "God Will Take Care 0f You" sung by perhaps thirîy voices. Then Keîtb Wood introduced those in the choir according 10 the famnilies. Mrs. A. Cathcarî gave a brief history of the Kendal Churcb' Choirs as she remembered îhem. In tbat first choir a quartette was formied of Roy Rickard, Milton Robinson, Annie Robinson and Lenora Henry.

Dorotby (Robinson) Hynes and bier husband were in the au- dience. ,After the first war, Mr. J. Swarbrick, a war veteýran, came to live in Kendal and run the sawmiill. He hiad a beautiful baritone voice and sang "Stranger of Galilee" and other beautiful hymrns. He led Kendal choir for many years. One important event 1 at- tended was Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Quantrill's diamond wedding. Two local girls sang duets very beautifully. They were Wilma (Carson) Scott and Bernice (Langstaff) Soper. Since Mrs. Quiantrill's namne was Maggie, they sang, "Wben you and 1 were young Maggie." Rev. T. Wallace said it was indeed a unique occasion when ten diamonds came fromn their homes across Canada to celebrate with their parents on their Dia- mond Wedding Anniversary. tin 1952 Mr. Jas. Swarbrick passed away so withouit a leader we soon had no choir. Some time later Pat (Foster) Carruthers rounded up high sebool boys and girls,,to make a Junior Choir whicb carried on for years with Mrs. Alva Swarbrick as organist.

She wasý specially interested' becaue his daughter Wynn Griffith hiad been her teacher in hier first year of theology at Toronto University, and nowv she was bringing the message ici Kendal. She told us that a New Connection Methodist Church was built at Elliott's gate in 1869. Many years later il became Kendal Sunday Sehool. This Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Churchi of Kendal were both built in 1870. Then the choir sang, -How Great Thou Art" and a social hour followed when old friend- ships were renewed. One of the- homecoming choir members, on Sunday was Mrs. June (Gordon) Mumford from McCord, Saskatchewan. It happened to be her birthday. She is vîsiting hier mother Mrs. S. Gordon of Orono. Another was Mr. Ken Wannan of Cobourg. He said he helped Mr. Sam Bryson raise the Sunday Sehool roomn up level with the church and place it on a cement founidation.
