Wednesday, July l7th, 1985 SeaCiasEMailPsto* Lnbý C0368 P vo d ,ëy Wednes y a heoficeofPublwat~iff rWinsuýcomti Rev C Foeretcr E"It With This We Agree Mark Pugash in his London Letter in the Toron- to Star comments on TV commentary making reference to the recent British coverage of Wimnbleton. Pugash ahhors the Amýýerican-styied commentator who feels he "must fil every second of dead air time with annoying graphics, silly statisties anid inane prattie." Pugash points out that British, coverage is radically different,"a superb example of British understatement at its most appropriate" was his com- ment of Wimbleton T V coverage. We agree with Pugash that such as Bud Collins almost destroys the gamne of tennis on television. But this also carnies over into other sports and our own hockey in Canada, to us, is a prime example. How many times can Dave Hodge ask, "Is it an advantage to play in your own arena," or "What did the coach do or say to psych you up during intermission" Then we have Gary Dornhoffer with his verbal and visual replays as if the viewer had neyer seen the play. "Are we ail asleep while the game is being played?" Surely the game has been around long enough for even the viewer to have.some expertise or at least an opinion. Even the players must find it difficult to vary their answers from one interview to another. Television must consider visual display not enough when in fact it is their main forte. British coverage of Wimbleton does add dignity and mnaintains this even inspite of the McEnroes. gYouth work for Bay of Quinte Con ference (Continued from page i) Conference is a gathering of United Church delegates from~ 200 p astoral charges within a 25,000 square mile vicinity. These individuals meet to discuss the internai affairs of the United Church. Some of McLeod's recom- mendations presented at the Conference included the following: a recommendation that youth be represented at the Bay of Quinte Con- ference, that Con ference meetings be scheduîed at times most convenient to al people attending so youth have an opportunîty to ex- press their concerns, that a second Youth Work Developer be hired for the north-eastern pastoral charges, and that programs be incorporated within chùr- ches to encourage better com- munication between the generations. "Our goal is to get youth involved in the Church by having them involved in meaningful ways of worship," McLeod said, ad- ding, "This may not always mean listening to an adult sermon" McLeod pointed out the need to create more im- aginative and creative ser- Vices that will also incor- porate the talents of Young people, Sheý also sees a place for young people within the Newtonville water qContmnued from page 1) pie feel miat councu miust conrsider befiore we proceecJ on, this matter," - Haare said. Mayor Rickard feLt that athough a total of sixty owners did'not returfi their forms it should not be assum- Youth Outreach programs of the churcli. "We must determaine how young people can be the listening ear to help people with their problems," McLeod said. "We must encourage youth and aduits to share their feelings and must try to treat youth as indîviduals rather than as a subculture that might grow up one day. " McLeod is currently work- ing on a study guide to ac- company the report produced for the Youth Committee and aimed at getting congrega- tions, both young & old, to think about the possibilities of youth involvement that ex- ist before them. "The report is aimed at getting youth involved at ail levels, flot just token par- ticipation," McLeod said1 suggesting, "this might in- volve anything fîom organiz- ing a youth group that meets Sunday night to having a committee of youth and adults organized to pair peo- ple up.", McLeod feels the establish- ment of a Youth Program Developer for the United Church is a step in the riglit direction and commends the United 'Church for the in- itiative it has shown by focus- ing in on young people today. "I think this is where the, Bay of Quinte Conference is a kind of leader in that it's taking a community develop- ment style of approacli to the problemn as opposed to a hit and miss approach by just setting up prograins and hop- ing they work," McLeod concluded.' ed that these individuals are opposed to the communal system of water supply. "Drilling a whole series of individual wells mnakes no sense at al," Rickard said, adding, "Such a systemn isn't going to make much impact if only haîf a dozen people take advantage of it." Most councillors were of the opinion that some type of action must bc taken now rather 'than 10 or 20 years Kendal Ne ws It isn't the size of your house so much That matters se much at al lt's the gentle hand, it'.s the Ioving toucli, That mnaketh it great or small, The friends who comie, in the hour they go, Who out of your house depart, Will judgeth not by the style you show-- It's ail in the size of your heart.

At the time of writing tbe country looks pretty but we are still badly in need of ramn. SH. Gordon Green speaking from Quebec said they had wonderful hay crop but were having great difficulty saving them, with rain every other day. This is holiday month on the Newtonville charge. Church will be held again August the fourth. The members of Kendal Women's Institute that went to camp at the Couroux cot- tage in Haliburton were Mrs. L. Cathcart, Mrs. B, Cathcart, Mis. H.

To the gardeners: There are suckers on the corn also. Eacb main stock gîows up with a sueker on each side. Pull tbem, out. To the June brides: One of the secrets of making good pie cîust is to chili, chill, chilI. from now when the costs of sucb a program will be dou- ble what they are today. "What we do now is peanuts compared to what will have to be d one if we t ake'no action," Councillor Taylor concluded, "We need to help the people of Newton. ville come to a better solution at a fair cost. We must recon- sider the problem before us." David Jobnston, Town Chief Administrative Officer, claimed the tawn bas two OP- tions to consider; do nlothing, or participate in the private well improvemnent program as sponsored by the MinlistrY of Environment. If the town 1. Have the ingredients cold 2. Wrap the dough and chilI at least half an hour before rolling out. RolOut pie crust on wvaxed paper. Line tw,,o pie plates with thetw pie crusts, flute the edges for the bottom two crusts. Put the top two crusts on inverted pie plates removing a centre hole with a thimble. Chili again. The object of this chiling is to keep the fat particles from meltmng and forming a homogenized mnass. Somne cooks can work fast enough with hands to prevent this. Most of us use a blender. Cook the bottom crusts TEN minutes. Put in the filI- ing pumpkin, raisin, cherry etc. Drop t he top crust on top of the filling. Cook. Apple pies neyer overflow if the top crust is free to move up and down. The bottom crust is sure to be cooked if cooked first. As 1I write the Queen Mother is in Toronto atten- ding the service at St. James' Anglican Cathedral. She is a gracious and lovely person, God bless her. Ifirst saw the Royal couple King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Our present Queen Mother) in Sioux Lookout in 1939. 1 was within a few feet of the station platform. After the introductions to the leading citizens the queen was presented with a bouquet by a ten year old gir and the King with a rose by a three year old. After she had givén it to him she put up her hand hoping to get it back again. The Queen said, "Put it in your button hole and that wil please ber." So he did. Then they were presented with gold nuggets etc. The band front the Anglican Ini- dian School played a number. Then the queen went over to the station where several young Indian mothers with their papoose carrierers were standing. Shelooked at each little Indian baby and asked the mother of one it's name. Then she asked the meaning of the name but the girl could not tell her. She came down and walk- ed among my pupils. One of my lads told me later. "The Queen put her hand on my tie, Oh my heart beat so fast." Our principal Harvey Kitt- mer said, "Three cheers for the little Princesses." You should have heard themn cheer., Later we heard that the lit- tle princesses said that they heard that broadcast perfect- ly on their radio and they heard the cheers. It was twiligbt in Sioux Lookout and two a.m. in Britain. Perhaps that helped the reception. Now let us think ., f another famous queen, Queen Victoria. A small dia- does not participate in the private well improv.emnent program an-d thereafter there is a need to install a com- munal systemn,it may bc dif- ficult to obtain Provincial assistance. To date counicil memibers have not taken any action thereby retaining the option of -onsidering a com- munal well system sometime in the future. Council mecmbers have accepted the recomimendation that staff be authorized to contact af- fected property owners ex- plaîning the Ministry of En- vironment Progra.m and pro- cedures to; determine proper- ty owner interest. mond plucked out of her skirt bought a quarter section of land in Saskatchewan. The skirt came to the prairies with the queen's per- sonal mnaid, who had received it in lieu of wages. This girl was paid in an abundance or' her soverign's affection, and in cast off clothes. Buit Vic- toria was a down-to-earth woman and a queeni at heart. When she handed clown a royal garment she didni't stoop to take out the diamonds. So when she settl- ed on a prairie homnestead with one of the palace butlers, the girl had a littfle nest egg in dîamonds to fal back on. The butter left first with a group of British imnmigrants. When the queen learned of the romnance between the two and her young mnaid's inten- tion to follow the- man, she was amazed and distressed. "How can you leave me for that rough country full of red indians and wild animais?" she said to the girl, who was released from the royal ser- vice on the solemrn promise that she would be married as soon as she reached Canada and forward, the marriage certificate to her queen. If the butter broke his troth the young lady was to comneright back to London- and stand in lier old place behind Queen Victoria's chair until there could be a change in her for- tunes acceptable to ber and the queen. But. the butler's word was as good as gold. The couple were married and settled on a homnestead white the queen kept tab, and demanded replies to the regular cor- respondence. , Once the young pioneer spiced lier letter with a rollicking account of her travels over rough prairie traits in a stoneboat hitched to a pair of oxen. Apparently the queen was flot amused, for she wrote to her wayward servant advising that this hardship would be efiminated from her life. A carnage and harness were being shipped to ber also a team of drivers. There was only one drawback to this royal boun- ty as this Saskatchewan pioneer recalled in ber later years,. The harness was inlaid with gold and in the dead of night thieves broke into stable, stole the harness à lifted a few other- useful trifles while they were at it. She might have sold the harness the homesteader alowed, if she had received it as wages and not as a gift. The English womian who told mie this story years ago had known some of the heroine's neighbours, but she dý dn't know whether one of the diamnonds out of the royal sjdrt had been sold to replace the stolen harness with cheaper equipment. "I do remiember though," she mused that the last dia- mnond, a smiall one was sold to buy a quiarter section of land when they felt they needed it. They were good farmers."
