His sermons sermons were very succinct and neVër lasted more than 20 minutes; His contention that if you couldn't say it in 20 minutes it wasn't worth saying,'was saying,'was in complete accord with the opinions of most our our congregation. It was with considerable regret that we learned that the local local • pastoral committee searching for a minister for our Janetville Charge starting-in starting-in July did not acquire hiifservices.

Unfortunately, this appears to be a long time into the future future as the current cost of same would be fifty times the current cost of chloride. Dave Broadfoot who is well known for his humorous comedy in the "Air Force", was much appreciated as guest entertainer at the annual annual banquet on Tuesday evening as he kept the approx. approx. 2000 dinner guests "rolling in the aisles" so to speak with his hilarious 45 minute presentation. ; Not so much appreciated were Hon.

A special feature was the E uest speaker, Mrs. Betty ou Quackenbush, R.N. of the Kawartha Save a Life Association who spoke on various aspects of the C.P.R. program and provided an interesting interesting talk on that subject subject on what to do and what not to do in an emergency.

He continued to use this platform in later elections elections with great success. The development of Darlington Darlington continued. A liaison committee was struck, a slush fund was created by Ontario Hydro. Our chairman chairman of the liaison committee committee was and still is to this day I presume, our present Mayor Marie Hubbard. Monies from the fund were used by the liasion committee for many popular projects always announced with great glee by the liaison liaison Chairman Mrs. Hubbard. Hubbard. Now Darlington is nearing nearing completion but in the past few years a few things have changed. Ontario had elected a different government, government, but we still have Mr. Cureatz and now we also have a Progressive Conservative Conservative ' Mayor, Marie Hubbard Hubbard but I can't believe my eyes. Now Ontario Hydro has become a "boogy man"! Insurances that adequate E retention, services and uilding standards are now of main concern. What a role reversal. . I certainly would like to read all the documents and correspondence, discussions over the past 12 years. Is it public? I have several questions to ask. Why were any building permits issued at all by the town for the construction of Darlington without our safety safety ensured before the dollars were thrown around? When are the people of this town going to elect leaders leaders who put the people first, and the politics second? I sure would like to have my say on C.B.C. tonight.

We are deeply 1 touched by your recent public examination examination of conscience; an Interesting study In depth psychology. However, we are not troubled that you ore guilty in your admitted Ignorance. No doubt, you wrote this priggish little gem to the accompaniment of Handel's "Largo", while the members of your staff bowed their heads respectfully respectfully in prayer. We are happy to learn that you do not by any means set yourself up m prudish or holier-than-thou! Indeed, this should give us cause for hope. However, we are inclined to believe that the rather bleak programme programme of austerity you promise (and confuse with virtue; an old heresy) is neither moral nor wise. The Victorians were an unhealthy unhealthy and neurotic lot. Rather, we would heartily recommend a much wider exposure to the things of the spirit and. In time perhaps, perhaps, art and reality may become more meaningful. There is nothing new in the old, but incisive, observation observation that those who. subconsciously subconsciously ; have dirty little minds must always Impute to others the miseries which lie deep within their own psyche.

An allegation made by Harry Locke when he and his brother Jack Locke appeared before council was refuted. Mr. Locke claimed that Councillor Councillor Ken Hooper had promised promised in the presence of Town Clerk Jack Reid that council would install 550 volt power for their machines when they built their new plant. "I refute this allegation. I did not hear any such state- ment,*' Mr. Reid stated firmly. Councillor Hooper denied emphatically emphatically that such a promise promise had been made, or that the .Locke brothers had even mentioned such a proposal to him. Deputy Reeve Ross Stevens moved that council petition the PUC to put in a free 550 volt transformer sub-station on the Locke brothers property. This was seconded by Reeve Sidney Little. Before .this motion could be discussed Jack Locke immediately immediately stood up. 'T have a suggestion to make. We now have half our motors at 220, and the others at 550.
