The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 3,1990 7 Salvationists Go Marching on in 1884 The December 9th Salvation Salvation Army War Cry carries an historical article written •by Major James Tackaberry (R) describing some of the opposition encountered by parading Salvationists back in the 1880's. : A letter published in The Bowmanville Canadian Statesman on July 18, 1884, attempted to put the whole matter of the Army's street marching into what the writer considered was. a more rational perspective: The letter was written in response response to one in which the Army was criticized. The writer commenced: "I notice a letter in your paper last week entitled, "Sunday Parades" from a citizen. He seems very anxious to say 'what is apparently going to issue is a serious ill to our community.' I crave space to reply; I may allay his fears. At the best he is a very superficial critic. In the first place he says, our 'quiet hallowed, Sabbaths of six months ago, are now filled with discordant music and converted into a meaningless meaningless parade?' Is it a meaningless parade? parade? It may be to a thoughtless person, but, thank God, not to me. Permit Permit me to ask the writer of that letter, Who are these' that march our streets on Sabbath and 'whence com- eth they?' Why do they 'allow 'allow themselves to.be made an exhibition of?' As he does not appear to know I will willingly tell him. These are they that have come out of hotels, gambling-dens, gambling-dens, pool-halls, gut- Rotary Donates $35,000 to Skate 5 88 and Honors Superfan ters beer-cellars and the "Marsh," where, while our devout friend was worshipping worshipping God, young men were getting drunk, playing cards, boating, etc. As some of them have since said, they were 'signposts for Hell' and might ana might have said 'no man cared for my soul' until The Salvation Army came. Now you see them transformed into 'signposts 'signposts for Heaven.' and that' is why you see them on the street in the march on Sunday. Sunday. But what does our writer writer care where they are so long as he can keep the Sabbath Sabbath holy? This writer had indicated what was, in the minds of the Army, one of the prime reasons for the parades. They were used as a means to witness, to indicate to all what God's transforming grace could do in the lives of men and women. Possibly the greatest purpose, however, however, in carrying on these street processions was that they were considered to be a means by which the unchurched unchurched were invited, or lured, into a place of worship worship where they could be exposed exposed to the teaching of the gospel. Their effectiveness in this respect could not be disputed. And so amid the confusion, confusion, the opposition, the persecution, persecution, the' Salvationists went marching on. Accolades were plentiful on Thursday, December 21st during Rotary's weekly meeting when Skate '88 Chairman Garnet Rickard accepted Rotary's pledge of $35,000. The money was raised last fall, when Rotary hosted a dinner at the Bowmanville Recreation Complex Complex with Bobby Orr as the guest speaker. Not only did Orr give a star performance but another player who was instrumental is making the Skate '88 campaign campaign a success was Superfan Terry Kelly. In appreci ation of Terry's hard work on behalf of the Rotary Club and Skate '88, Rotarians honored him with the prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship. Taking part in the presentations were from left to right, Bill Whyte, chairman for the Bobby Orr Dinner, George Moore, Skate '88 Chairman for Service Clubs division, Skate '88 Chairman Garnet Rickard, Superfan Terry Kelly, Rotary President Pat Mothersill, and Past President Don Welsh.

Ontario residents arc responsible for paying their premiums until the end of December 1989, for the period through March 31,1990. Will my health care coverage continue? Yes. If you were covered you will continue to be covered under your present OIIIP number. Payment of the final premium will ensure continuous coverage to March 31,1990. After April 1,1990, coverage will automatically remain valid for all eligible residents of Ontario. Ontario's health care system covers all residents of the province including students, senior citizens, retired people, people on social assistance, people who arc employed, unemployed or self-employed. What should 1 do if I do not have an OHIP number? Contact your local OHIP office, Will the change affect personal coverage under company plans such as semi-private coverage or company drug plans? No. Why did the Ontario Government eliminate OHIP premiums? In the past, many companies paid all or a percentage of OIIIP for their employees, Other companies paid nothing, Many Ontarians paid OIIIP premiums on their own. Unfortunately, many of the people who had to pay their own premiums were those who could least afford them. The new Employer Health Thx and the elimination of OIIIP premiums will make the system fair for everyone. Will there be enough money to maintain the quality of health care we enjoy today? Yes. Last year nearly fourteen billion dollars, one third of tire entire provincial budget, went towards providing heal th care for Ontario residents. The elimination of premiums in no way affects the amount of money the government has committed to health care. It simply changes one of the sources of the money. In the past OHIP premiums only paid for a very small part of the Ontario health care system. system. Most of the money for health care came from general revenues collected through the tax system. What do I do when I go to the doctor or the hospital? Do what you usually do. Use your OHIP number. It's still the same. Present your number to show that you are eligible for health care services.
