Favrestèr, wnev.Ed nos, Subscription $1 7.00 per anntim It will soon be over t is oniy a mnattler of days that sonie seventy-five to ight percent of tlie electorate across Canada wilI have gone to the polis, cast their ballots for a host of candidates and parties, and the resuit of the exercîse should give us a governing body for the next period of tirne up to five years. A mînority or majority govemment ail depends on the distribution of votes and this timne around it could bc a mixed bag that ends up in the house of commons. Canada dîd survive the Charlottetown Accord and the Meecli Lake decisions contrary to tlose wlio supported both promotions and had spoke of Canada faliing apart if either were defeated. Defeated îley were and Canada lias survived. One would expect tliat we wil survive this election too. But wlio can really tell the results of a Bouche, Manning, Cliretian, Camnpbell and McLaughlin mix and Iow permanent it may be. The pols have placed Chretian and the liberais at the top of the leap but do have some doubts as wlietlier Chretian can form aa majority government. Audrey McLaughlin, the NDP leader lias suggested that Cliretian may bc able to form a majority. Then cornes Kin Campbell, the Conservative leader stating that she would help Chretian form a govemment if it were to be in the lest interest of the country. Both these comments are rather unusual corning frorn those in the race and at this time in the race. It is likely that the liberals have thelest chance to form a majority govemnment-and as far as this corner is concerned we would rather it be a majority govemment but flot overwhelming. It could be reasoned that no politicai party would be inciined to defeat a govemnment at this point in time due to the mood of the electorate and due to the fragmentation that does exist. It is up to ail to get out and vote and to use reason in casting that vote. Monday, October 25tli is election day - don't m is casting your vote. Growing weary The Port Hope Community Liaison Group that acts as a liaison between the community and the Federal Task Force as to 10w level radioactive dlean-up in tlie Town lias relcased somne results of a recent survey undertaken in the Town. A total 250 people, were involved and althougli they were flot asked to comment or rate the progress of the process they did and it was an overwhelrning "get moving". This thing lias been around in Port Hope, Hope Township and Clarington for a goodly nurnber ofyears and yet no resolve. We may be old and grey before it is settled. But on reading a report on the Laidlaw landfilI that was cornmissioned by the federal Environment Department and involving the firm Gartner Lee Limited' nothing conclusive was really offered but of course calling for more study and reporting. It is weary especially when there are more exciing that could welI be undiertaken. Kendtal %ColumnLJ by Phyllis Lowery We have certainly been laving Our share of wet weathcr this last while. Saturday niglit and Sunday the fog was pretty thick, but dcspite the rain and fog, the Churcli was filild to capacity.

Ian Savage led us in the first hynn, 'On This Day of Celebration" and the Invitation to Worship followed by die Prayer of Approadli. The hyrnn, "Lord of Our Growing Years" was sung, thc Prayer of Sclf-Exarninationi and the Words of Assurance wcre given. Special music was provîded by Bey Hliggins and Bernie Martin ilicy sang two numbers, "What A Fricnd Wc I-Have ini Jesus and Lord of flecDnc. It is always a picasurc to I iste n to Bcv and Bcrie.c Ian ca.ilctithe. chl îtrcu forward and there wyere a good number present. H1(, told them that they- will probabl 'y be told that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you really believe, that is silly. Ian had his young nephew, Jody stand up on the piano bench and lie asked hirn if he wanted a piggy back ride, did lie believe that Ian could carry hirn? Jody said yes and then clirnbed on Ian's back. Then Ian put Jody down on the floor and lie got up oni the bencli and lie asked Jody if he couid have a piggy back ride, Jody said no. Ian asked the children why he couid flot get on Jody's back, Ian said tliat he believed that Jodycould carry him, the chlildren said tliat lie would crush Jody. So even if you believe sometliing very liard, that is flot always possible. t is very important that we believe in the riglit things. The chldren's liymn was, "God Can Do It'Again." Tlie scripture readings were from Exodils 13: 17-22 and Luke 4: 16-2 1. Rev. Black titled his sermon, 'Honoring Our Forefatliers." He started by telling us that this was a special day in the life of this congregation. One hundred and twenty-tliree years of worship have been lield in this building. A lot of work lias gone into this day by a lot of people. Not only into the new work on the building but tlie work done by tlie people before us wlio worshiped and worked the past one hundred and twenty-tliree years. Rev. Black said that earlier in the week lieliad entered tlie Sanctuary it was a lovely sunny day. He walked around and read the names on th4e stain glass windows, of formier members, the plaques, the pictures of former members, a younger Catherine Stewart, Annie Cathcart, Garland Cathcart, al liad put mucli of their Urne and energy into keeping this churcli going. David said lie sat and thouglit of liow it must have been, no liydro, no cars, wood stoves, lie wondered liow it must have fel t to see the first farniiy corne to churcli by car, what it was like to see the first electric liglit turned on, to see the purnp organ replaced hy an electric one, to see the stoves replaced by electric heat. Tliese changes rnany have seen, and yet things are still the same. We stili worship, we still read and hear the sarne passages from the bible. Jesus used history to teacli new tliings. Jesus took religion and gave it new meaning. So as we remernber Our past, we must remember and build on these memories for the future. Like Our ancestors who worked-and-built this building and liad liad tlieiî struggles, we too in this time are having our struggIes, People do flot support their churdhes like they, did at one Urne.- Our ancestors built and added on, as they did when tliey added tlie Sunday School roorn, and then tlie kitchen, tliey were flot just building for thcmsclves, but for the future. We too, are looking to the future. "Look back with pride." "Look forward with hope." The hymn, "We Build A New Tomorrow"~ was sung and the Prayer of Tliankfulness was given. The offeriing and tle offering Sanctuary, in memory of Catherine Stewart. The new front entrance and ramp in memory of Annie and Garland Cathcart and Rev. and Mrs. Norman MacKenzie. All these were made possible through bequests from these people. The Prayer of Concern and Commitment was given and the service closed witl the singing of, "He Leads Us Living On."' Every one was invited to remain and have lunch and a time of visiting. We would like to tliank the congregations of Shiloli and Newtonviile for joining with us for this celebration. A big vote of thanks, goes to the ladies of Kendal U.C.W. who prepared and served the lunch, wlat would we do witliout tlem? Tley are always there, working quietly in the background. Rememnber . ..
