For devotion the book, "How Great Thou Art" was used, several Bible verses were mentioned about ^ Donna's Hair Works ^ 21 Rosalynne Crescent Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3X7 (905) 623-6286 Short Hair Wash & Cut (no styling). $10.00 Wash, Cut and Blow Dry 13.00 Roller Set and Blow Dry 8.00 Long Hair Wash & Cut (no styling) $15.00 Wash, Cut and Styling 17.00 Wash & Cut one length (no styling) 10.00 Wash, Blow Dry and Irons • 12.00 Chemical Colour ,, $20.00 Work Streaks or Highlights 30.00 Henna 15.00 Treatment 3.00 Short Hair Perms $25.00 Partial Perms 15.00 ♦Long Hair Perms 25.00 * Prices will vary for long hair perms; an additional $10.00 will be charged for every bottle of perm solution used.

By Appointment Only A - ADVERTISEMENT - Jane died recently. The most striking thing about her life was its brevity and unexpected ending. She was just 12 weeks old. She was so busy and doing so well in her own private little world - you see she was still in her mother's womb. Even at this very young age she was well developed. If only you could have seen her little face ... her large eyes ... her button nose ... her lips ... her tiny fingernails. She could squint, and swallow, and pucker her mouth; and frown, and even produce a smile. She may even have been in the habit of sucking: her thumb! She just had a bit of growing up to do, that was all. But she didn't get the chance. Her life was ended when she was torn from her sanctuary. And the sad thing is that, for many, Jane is simply another statistic. Jane is a fictitious person - she represents the 95,324 unborn children who were killed by ; abortion in Canada in 1991. These children are more than just statistics - they are 95,324 individuals gone forever. Lovingly remembered by concerned citizens of Durham Region, who recall January 28,1989 - The day Canada's abortion law was repealed, permitting abortion for any reason during 9 months of pregnancy. - ADVERTISEMENT - Council Studies Traffic At Mitchell's Corners Lori Sherritt, as Anne and Brace McKay, as Matthew, are shown 'in a scene from the Erewhon Theatre's production of Anne of Green ■Gables. The story was presented on Saturday, January 22,, and was the second of three programs featured in the school's Cushion Concert Concert series. A unique feature of Saturday's performance was the full participation of the audience. The entire crowd was invited to add sound effects, where required, and some of the children volunteered for small parts in the play itself. Highlights from Enniskillen UCW snow, the cleansing power, and in everyday life the protections of our seeds and orchards with a good layer of snow. With Marie at the keyboard, we sang Hymn 581. Offering was received received and dedicated with prayer by Joyce. We were served a good cup of coffee and dessert. Then Joyce read a verse relating how much clastic there is in left-over turkey, from sandwiches sandwiches to meat pie - turkey a la King and finally, soup.

This is greeted with mixed emotions: some of us can't wait for the hot days of summer vacation and others don't want this year to end. And of course ' there are those who simply dread the thought of getting their term report cards! We're already looking ahead to next year. Last week, Durham held its annual grade 8 night, introducing grade 8 students from feeder schools and their parents to what DCHS has to offer. Highlights of the evening included included music by our talented jazz band, and a collection of scenes put on by the theatre arts class. Mr. Ewald demonstrated some experiments experiments in the science room, and some work by Durham's art students was displayed. It was an enjoyable evening evening for all involved. The school is abuzz in anticipation anticipation of our annual ski day, to be held later on this week. Cross-country and downhill skiing arc both offered, and most of DCHS's staff and students come out for this event. The best part of the day is watching otherwise confident confident classmates tumble into snowdrifts snowdrifts in their attempts to make it down the hill! It should be a great day, and a good break for us now that midterms are over. The choir retreat will also be held later this week. They will be staying overnight at Camp Samac in Oshawa. This is always a great opportunity for the choir to get to know each other better and to spend time focusing on their music. Many "veteran" choir members have fond memories of past retreats. Activities usually include- games, singing (of course), and eating. eating. lots of popsiclcs to soothe their throats. A rumor was flying around about a midnight serenade last year. Anyone care to explain, guys? So, as we pass the halfway point, we have lots to look forward to for the rest of the year. Here's hoping it's as good as the first half was! "The 'speed limit reduction is a positive step, but simply lowering the speed limit does not provide the measure measure of safety which we are demanding. demanding. Meeting with local residents and sharing their personal horror stories has reiterated the need to change the dangerous conditions, the Clarington Councillors were told in the letter. "We have united with the common objective of creating a safe residential area to raise our families," Albertini writes. Other concerns the residents have are: • speed limits not being enforced; • the current passing lane reducing the amount of space for pedestrian traffic between Trulls Road and McMaster's Hill; • insufficient street lighting; • the need for a no-passing zone within the 50 km/hr zone; and • the need to extend the reduced speed limit eastward, to the bottom of McMaster Hill. Orono BIA Seeks $6,000 The Orono Downtown Business Improvement Area has requested a budget allocation of $6,000 from Clar- ington's coffers. While a detailed budget was not submitted, due to the DBIA treasurer being away, the organization's secretary, secretary, Susan Saver, wrote: "We do expect expect to need $6,000 again this year. Our landscaping and promotions are going well. We do not feel it would be acceptable to ask for any increases, but hope to continue on as is." Clarington Council sent the request to the treasurer for inclusion in the 1994 budget process. Hwy. 57 Speeds Too High? The speeds at which people travel between Baseline Road and Highway Two, along Regional Road 57/Martin Road, will be reviewed, Councillor John O'Toole made the request at Monday night's Clarington Council session. He suggested that a lower speed limit be applied up to Highway Two and as far north as Jackman Road. The request is to be sent to the Durham Region, which is responsible for the road.
