Forreiter, Editor A wonderful show It is more than likely safe to say that the mai ority of people took a lot of ýnjoyment out of the television coverage of the XXIII Qlympiad in Los Angeles. It has to be amateur sport at its best when in- dividuals meet on an individual basis competing with others from ail aroundîthe world. It becomes even more intere sting with Canadian participants and one finds tbemselves cheering such along in their attenipt for a good placing even though one may be far from the actual event. Silvia Ruegger of Newtonville, running in the ladies marathon, gave this area plenty to cheer about and'there is littie doubt that the community was there in spirit and reaching our with their support for this detdr- mined young lady from the local area. The dedication. to reac h this level of competition is aimost beyond realization. The hours-upon hours of training is in itself a tribute to these athletes who then push their mental and physicalstrength to the imit in- their dedication and determination. The community showed on Monday night that they were proud of Silvia and her athletic achievment and to say the least it was well carned by a determined young lady in our midst. To such as Silvia one must say.congratulibtoqs and aIl the best in the future. In general the XXII Olympiad has been the mest tbing that bas happened to TV in a good many years.

John Oxenham On Sunday morning August -the twelfth service wus- held in Kendal church with Mrs. Fern Foster ut the organ and Mrs. Lynda King brougbt the message entitled, "Love isthe fruit of Prayer and Prayer is the Fruit of Fait." We were pleased t o bave worsipping witb us Mrs. Ethelda Williamson of London. She is visiting ber daughter Mrs. G. Brewer and family.

Wben Molson's sends in the beer to Kendul Park on Sut urday surely they wiil send in toilets. In the "Thirties" when Ontario decided beer could be sold in 'licensed hotels, the botel ut Hudson got a license. There were two toilets across the street just like ut Kendal Park. However there was no Ganaraska River to the west like there is ut Kendal Park. That nigbt men poured in- to Hudson by the hundreds from the lumber camps and the mines and that nigbt there was a Ganaraska River to the east. On August the first 1 told you about the Royal William being buiît in Quebec City shipyards and makîng its famous crossing of the Atlan- tic entirely under steampower from Quebec to Gravesend, England in 1883 witb Captain John McDougall in corn- mand. It was designed by Jame~s Goudie and built in the shipyards of Campbell and Black t Quebec City in 1881. It was designed for commer- cial traffic between Quebec and Halifax. It had three mtiasts for sails if they were needed, was 160 feet long and 44 ft wide. lt was iauniched hy Lady Aylmer, wife of the governor generafl of Canada. While it was built for t rade betwieen Quebec and Nova Scotia business was poor due to a cholea epidemic and shareholders had financial troubles. Among the owners was Samuel Cunard who later owned a shipping fleet. After a bad year in the Canadian trade it was decid- ed to selI the shîp in England*I The Royal William took on enoughi coul for the trans Atlantic voyage -at Pictou, Nova Scotia. When it was sold it served for a timne as a troop ship for Portugal.

Kenàdal Nexws (lntended, for last week) The Ships of Saint John (continued) And many a time I saw them go 'Out drn, the flood at morning brave, 0 As the little tugs bad themn in tow, And thesunight danced on the wave. There al 'day long you could hear the sound 0f the caulking iron, the ship's bronze bell,. And the clank of the capstan going round As the great tides rose and fell. The sailors' songs, the cap- tain's shout, The boatswain's whistle pip- ing shrill, And the roar as the anchor chain runs out, 1 often heur themn still. 1 can see themn still, the sun on their gear, The sbining streak as the bulîs careen, And the flag at the peak un- furling - clear As a picture on a screen. The fog. still hangs on thie long tide - rips, The gulîs go waving to and fro, But where are alI the beautiful shîps 1 knew so long ago? Bliss Carman The dry weather bepan in July -with forecasts in three H's hot, hazy and humid. NoW we have the August drought: cisterns are dry, Certain crops stand up to the heat and sunishine beans are producing pods even without wxatering, corn ifi \ry tallend we are enjoying corn on the: cob.

Then tbe question, "Wbat are you'doing about impaired' driving?" was dîscussed. Some of ouir members said that T.V. advertising was responsible for some of the increased drinking. Accor- ding to a survey, over tbe past 30 years smoking scenes have decreased by 90 percent.. In 1950 four cigarettes were' smoked eacb hour on T.V. Buy 1982 just one tbird of a cigarette was smoked eacb. hour. Wbereas dinking scenes doubled from four ulcobolic scetes in 1950 pgr bour to 8.5 per hour in 1982. In fact drinking, was more frequent than viol8ce yet violence bas received more negative press! i On T.V. just about everyone drinks and no one appears to experience any negative effects. In tbis way T.V. distorts reality. On T.V. drinking is fun, glamorous, acceptable and harmless. Miss Stewart and Mrs. Cathcart told about seeing tbe taîl ships at Cobourg. The minuites were read.

Let us tbink -of our first woman Member of Parlia- ment, Agnes Macpbail. At fourteen she passed ber Higb Scbooî Entrance ex- amination. She was beside berself witb joy. She went home and went to the cellar wbere she made great plans for ber future education. Shè was going to be a teacher. Shp, was utteriy beartbroken when she was informed that ber school career was now over. She was needed ut home to heip) on the farm. For a stormy temperment and amibitious nature like bers it was a crushing blow. The future stretched out without hope. Sever<,- years of helping wiLý- housework end cooking at home, then marriage to a farmer and a life time of housework and cooking and raising children. Marriage meant submission, constant catering tothe whims of a man. No time for outside in- terests. Agnes did the'things shte had to do but she made it plain, persistently.,and con- tinually that this was not what she intended to keep on d4ng. ', Her parents stuck it out for two years but 'at sixteen Agnes won ber battle and went off to High Scbool in Owen Sound 30 miles away. In.two years she passed ber Junior Matriculation. Then off to 'Stratford, Normal School to train to be a teacher. ST. SAVIOUR'S MAIN STREET, ORONO AuguSt 6, 1984 9:45 a. m. Morning Service Rev. A.E*.
