A bowl of bronze and yellow chrysanthemums were on the flower stand and fruit of garden and field spilled out of a basket of plenty on the altar table. Branches of coloured leaves and bright red berries added to the color. Sunday school carried on as usual and the same pattern will be followed next Sunday for Garden Hill anniversary.

By Peter Parrott / Remember the days when computers were considered to be something something like over-achieving over-achieving adding machines? In referring to computers, computers, people used to say something like this: "Well, they may be smart in their own way. But they'll never replace replace things like human judgement or creativity." Guess again. Before the end of this century, the so called fifth generation generation of computer is expected to be on the market. These ones will be equipped not with printers or color graphics equipment or joysticks. They will have a new feature Called artificial intelligence. intelligence. In other words, they will be able to mimic (some say duplicate) the reasoning power of the human mind. A recent brochure mailed to this office notes that a conference sponsored by Concordia Concordia University is being held in Ottawa and Montreal to help executives executives assess the impact of the new developments developments in artificial intelligence. intelligence. It adds that The Pentagon Pentagon plans to spend more than $100 million per year on research into this field. And by 1990, commercially commercially available fifth- generation computers are expected to be in operation. They will be utilized in fields such as defense, business, mineral exploration, manufacturing, finance, finance, medicine, science, science, and education. There are those who believe that this new generation of computers computers will, in effect, constitute a development development on a par with the RE-ELECT Robert STEVENS HYDRO COMMISSIONER . % Lifetime resident of Town of Newcastle 35 years business experience Graduate Guelph University 5 yrs. as Vice Chairman Hydro Commission A practical approach to business, with your interests in mind I have the time, the interest and the experience. All I need is your vote. part of the meeting was conducted by Christine Wilson who had such a long list of announcements, each lady was provided with paper to record them for future use. Ten woollen blankets had been sent to two villages in Labrador Labrador and one of the announce-, ments was for a party to be held at the church in aid of Mexican relief. So many natural tragedies have happened, happened, one following another it is difficult but so necessary to share in helping as many as possible. Appreciation was expressed to all who had helped with catering and food on the day of the house tour, especially to the social committee whose organizing skills made everything move with the speed required. Several members were absent so the group of about 14, were seated around a table for easier handling of books for the topic was Bible study. Coloured leaves and branches of silver dollars gave a colourful colourful look for this Thanksgiving season, as well as the basket of fruit and vegetables on the table. Barbara Irwin, group leader for the month opened the worship service with prayer, and after singing a harvest hymn, Verna Austin read one of the Thanksgiving psalms. There was a special treat of music for June Nichols was able to be present and sang "Bless This House" and "I am weak but Thou Art Strong." This was the month to bring in coins saved during the year to assist in the child support through New Horizons and these were placed in one of two baskets placed on the table to receive the month's offering, done as the ladies walked in a circle to them. They were dedicated by the singing of "We give Thee but Thine own." Hazel Irwin read an autumn poem on the beauty of this special time of year and Barbara read a thoughtful verse called "Too tired to Pray." The Lord's Prayer closed the devotions. Each member was provided with a Bible and all shared in reading scripture verses found throughout the Bible on the subject of prayer after hearing the story of Hannah's prayer. This study period closed with Barbara reading a concluding prayer. While tea was being prepared, Hope Holdaway conducted a contest with questions answered by food for a meal. For instance one was answered by a colour and a letter of the alphabet. Sandwiches and relishes were enjoyed with a cup of tea while Gwen Best handled the produce sale. Dora Nichols' baskets of delicious looking apples disappeared in a hurry. Many peoples' gardens left much to be desired this year so there were no left over vegetables. Honking geese late on Thursday evening turned eyes skyward to see a long line going south and flying so high, it didn't seem as if they planned to come down on the lake. It's always a delight to see a flock of evening grosbeaks, so we were happy to see them in and under the spruce trees the other morning, as well as a couple of crested flycatchers, some robins and a flock of warblers. The latter flipped around so much it was hard to see their identifying marks, especially as the light was not good and eyesight not too sharp. Most families spent part of the weekend with each other, either at home here or with members of the family in other places. During the past week Archie and Orald Ford were off for a few days' holiday enjoying the marvellous marvellous colours of the season in areas north of here. Among the places they visited were Blind River and Manitoulin Island. On the way home they stopped at daughter Gwen's at Erin and then the family gathered at daughter Wanda's in Oshawa to have a Thanksgiving Thanksgiving meal with her husband Charles Henderson and family, Gwen and her family and the Leslie Ford family from Port Hope - a happy gathering. Donald Nichols and friend spent the holiday with his parents and Harold and Verna Austin had Thanksgiving on Sunday with families of Helen, Pearl and Valerie home. Son Hoy and family spent the day with the Robinson family at Starkville. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Best, Berniece and George Best of Port Hope had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Best on Sunday. VOTE FOR RANDY MacGILLIVRAY LOCAL COUNCIL WARD 2 MacGILLIVRAY MEANS BUSINESS Industrial Revolution. That means computers computers will not necessarily necessarily destroy the economy economy but they will very likely turn it upside down. At least, that's what happened in the Industrial Revolution of yesteryear. Maybe the first assignment assignment that this new "artificial intelligence" intelligence" can be given is the task of easing itself into the existing social system with a minimum of disruption in the achievements of civilization civilization to date. Atom II Toros The season opener against Pickering, October 19th, proved to be fruitless, as we lost 8 - 4 to a well disciplined Pickering squad. Our players played to a 1 -1 draw at the end of the 1st period, but five unanswered Pickering goals proved too much to overcome. David Szabo led the way with a hat trick with Steve Deblois adding a single. Steve also had two assists along with singles to Richard Bateman and David Szabo. Two of David's goals were scored by the powerplay, while two were scored against us while short-handed. With our new look defense (only one main- 1 stay from the post), time will develop our total group into an exciting and disciplined team. Good luck guys. On October 18th, London Life "Tykes" defeated Home Care 7 - 0 on shut-out goaltending goaltending of Paul Lavallee. Derek Lange (three), Mark 1 McCarthy (two), Aaron Pudlis (one), Matthew Brake (one), were the goal scorers. Assists were earned by Mark McCarthy (four), Derek Lange (two), Aaron Pudlis (two), Bradley Alysworth (one), Jason Lange (one). Good effort by all, especially especially Chris Baumhauer whose smile makes it all worth it, FOR MAYOR Company HOME VIDEO P/'-'- ■, r k ■ '■ • , , r .
