Orono WeeklJy Times, Wetdnesday, April 4, 1990-9 Jhristian Corner Alcohol - Are wie having fun yet? I wonder why people who drink think it's the thing to do? They drink so much they don't know whether they are having a good time or flot. Let me go back to the first sentence and answer my own question. Peo- pie who drink do so to be a part of the so caiied in crowd. They do it to suppress feelings of insecurity, to quote, "have fun". What is fun? Webster says fun is "sport, mirth, amusement, pay." Mirth is merri- ment, jotiety especiaiiy with iaughiter. How many dr unks do you see Iaughing, enjoying life? How From Around the Region (Continued fromn page 8) tion wiii again be given to fluoridating drinking water for both Cobourg and Port Hope. In the past such lias flot been carried out due to cost. Recently Heath and Weifare Canada joined other groups in recommendîng fluoridation of water. Prepare for public take- over of recycling operation Four centres in Northumberland County have set-up a committee to take over a privateiy run recycling plan that hias heid forth for the past three years. Tom Matthews hias notified the municipatities that hie is to cease operation. Joan Fawcett speaks out to increase minimum wage Joan Fawcett, Liberal M.P. for Northumberland, has spoken out again increasing the minimum wage from the present set of $4.75 per hour. Such a move was defeated recentîy in the Ontario iegistature when presented through a NDP private members bilt. It was being proposed to increase the wage rate to $7.20. $100,000 needed for Bewdley arena refit -Hope and Hamilton Township expect to have to pay some $100,000 for a major refit of the Bewdley arena. New piping is need- ed beneath the ftoor of the arena for ice making. The arena opened in October of 1975 and lias been operated by the two municipatities since. A trip to Europe for waste disposai look The Region of Durham is con- sidering sending two representatives to Munich, Germnany mnid May to view a waste disposai fair bilied as the iargest to be held in the word. Taxes in Hamilton not expected to increase Increased expansion ini Hamilton Township an-d a sizeabie surplus is expected to decrease to some extent municipal taxes in the Township this year. Increases however wiit be notèd for county purposes and for the board of education. West Townline Road In Newcastle The fact that the Toswn of Newcastle bas named the westerly boundary road as West Town Line Road has proven a problem for the City of Oshawa. Oshawa now catis it the Town Line Road and can hardly accept West Townline Line Road as it is on the easteriy boun- dary of their mnunicipality. Highway 407 plan being clianged The extension of 407 hîýighway in- to Durham Region is being re- worked due to the fact that no 1highway is to run through the pro- posed new Rou&e Vale y park area as recentiy announced by Premier many wives of aicohoiics are happy and how about their chiidren. They neyer know when dad (or mom) is coming home drunk, and abusive. Most drunks are not pleasant to be around. It's sad the amnount of money spent on booze that shouid be spenton food, bis, ciothing, for the needs of faziiies. In New -York this week 87 peopei died in a fire in a quote "H1appy Land Social Cub." Are they happy? There are now 87 families that are flot happy in Bronx, N.Y. 'Isn't aicohoi wonderful, 87 families that have iost ioved ones because they were out iooking for some fun. In the same edition of the Oshawa Times another article telts of the fun alcohioi brings. Aicohoi is responsi- ble for more than 100,000 deaths an- nualiy in the U.S. steaiing 2.7 million years from drinkers ives. Now isn't that fun and isn't it smart to drink. Yeh real smart. Ask the families of some of those that have died from aicohol related accidents what they think about aicohol. Proverbs ý3:2I tells' us that "the drunkard shall corne to povierty." And in Proverbs 20:1, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is flot wise." Isaiah 5:11 says, "4Woe unto them that rise up earîy in the morfi- ing that, they may foiiow strong drink; that continue until night, titi wine inflamne them." God's Word is for our benefit, we're supposed to, Iearn from it, but we can't learn from it ifwe don't read it and do it. God's instructionis for our weii being. If it was good for us to drink He'd give us His Biessing and'teli us-to do it. But it isn't and He doesn't. I pray that people wouid soon get smart to the Hell alcohol puts themf in, and cati out to Jesus to deliver themn from it. Comments or Questions? Write Box 179, Oronio.
