2-Orno W.II TmsWknsaý inmr1019 Isit over yet? You might ask "Can 1 close my eyes and then open them to know that the dump issue is behind us". Don't bet on it, it could hang around for yet a further number of years. What may be over is the placement of a dump in the Clarington area either by the province or Laidlaw. It is now twice that: the Whitevale area site has been chosen for a dump site for Durham Region. But then one has to realize it is three strikes and outnfot two strikes and out. Things haven't change anyfor no sooner had the IWA' made their announcements of the three preferred dump sites than Lynn McLeod, liberal leader, had faxes on the way denouncing the credibility of Bob Rae and his NDPers. There is some things we would Fke to see ended and in this corner the wish is the end of debate in the disposai of our garbage. This has been going on for years and those dlumps that were to have been closed out years ago are stili accepting garbage. We continue to produce garbage in volumes but refuse to accept the end resuit that there is a need for disposai. We doubt that i ncineration is any solution to the problem because in the f irst place who wants an incinerator in their backyard. And make no mistake pollution can be distributed from the stacks of the incinerators. Shipping garbage north may be one of the most expensive ways to solve the problem for a majority of the GTA. 0f course Metro Toronto would approve shipping garbage north for it would be their baby and their money maker. They own the land and would set the di sposai fees. Shipping charges north wouldn't corne cheap. And the political aspect with Mike Harris-and his conservatives and Lynn McLeod and he r liberals chomping at the bit to be the lead party in the next election and admitting now they would dump the present plan and would look into the issue of shipping garbage north. Looking inta an issue is by no means a solution. There is going to be a lot of garbage floating around for a number of years yet to corne. Unfortunately.

Durham Regional Police will be in attendance to discuss ptection of property. counterfeit money and fraud. Everyone welcomie. Looks like we have just had our Indian summer, mild wet and foggy. This m orning as I write this the sun is trying to break through, but it is very windy. There was a good attendance at chut-ch. it was nice to sec some visitors as welI. The service opened with Rev. Black welcoming ahl, the opening. hymn was "A Living Faith". The Invitation to Worship and the Prayer of Approach followed. The hymu. "INot Alone For Mighty Nation7 was sung. Ian Savage led ' inhfPraer Of, Self- Examination anl the, Words of Assurance. Fo-ur girls front the Sunday School sang, "Last'Night I1lIad the Strangest Dr9aln". Ian called the children to thç front, he stood at attention then asked them What he looked like, some said aw statute, then he marched a few steps, then they said a soldier. Ian asked them what do soldiers wear, they answered a uniform. He told them that they wear helmets on their heads and sometimes wear bullet proof jackets, heavy boots. Long ago they used swords and carried shields. He asked thern if they would go into battle with ordinary bats and shoes on, they aIl answered no. Why do people go to war? Wbat do they do? The cbildren answered, break things, kill people. In the Bible, people went to war, their sbield was the Rible, they fought for good, their armour was God. We should put this armour on everyday and go forth to fight the battie of God, for trutb and right. The children's bymn was "Prayer of St. Francis." The seripture readings were fromt Colossians 2: 1-10; and Matthew 9: 35-38. Rev. Black titled his sermon "A Living Faith." He said that as be watched T.V. last Thursday, he watched a few elderly men proudly shuffle to attention as wreaths were dedicated to the memory of fallen coanrades. These men most in their 90's, look at little pathetic now. t is hard to remnember that they were young and vigorous and strong once. One man now 95 was only 20.when the war ended,,he had been- only 16 when it started. He had bis future ahead, dreams, hopes and ambitions. He made it. Hîs friend did not. His friend died --for what? In 75 years how bas the world any better than the day he died? Is the world today any safer for demnocracy? Did they give the years of their youtb and many of them their lives to make our world safer? The starving people, the women living in fear of beatings from their husbands. Did they give their lives to make our community safer for drug pushers, our children to be forced into prostitut ion, littie boys and girls- terrorized by punks and bullys at school? 0f, course not. Tbey fought to give us human dignity, to. give us a life where we could hope and dreai. In the poem, Flanders Field, the lines "Take up our -quarrel witb tho foe, to, you from failing bauds wethrow the torch; be yours to hold it high." Sadly we have failed, we have fumbled the torch. We have falled to make the world a better place. t is true that troops are not shooting women and children down ini our streets, but that is no consolation to the family of a child dylug or a drug overdose or caught in the midst of a drug war struggle to control a city street. We have spoiled Our landis, we_ have failed to hold the torch up high. We have failed to make this a bo-tte-r place-.Perhaps it is The hope of the Christian world, is to share hope and faith with others. We need to remember our moots. Jesus taught and showed a way of life that ireated ail people -with dignity and courtesy. People could go to Him and fiud acceptance and healiug and peace for wouuded bodies and self- respect. He did not ridicule or belittle the vuinerable or hurting. 1The torch has'been thrown to us. Not only by our veterans and their dead colleagues, but also by the Lord hianseif. How shail we the living, keep faith with those who have gone before us?1 .1 Like the Veteraus, we must take a stand, this may be dangerous, but like the soldier, we must accept it. We mnust work to make life fi-ee--frefrom an assault. We must work to give al the chance to live in peace and to develop to the fullest the God given poteutial within. "O Canada" was sung followed by "The Last Post". Two minutes silence and then "Reveille". The service euded, with the Prayer of Coucemn and Commitineut and the hymn, "We Build A New Tomorrow." The ,commuuîty -is, sorry to hear of the death of Ted Bougheu, our sympathy to the family. La verne (Burns) Hoy is a patient in Bowmanvile Hospital. Announcements. . .
