10-Ôrono Weekly Times» Wednesday,. February 14th» 1979 Kendal News Jesus saith unto him, follow me. And he' arose arid followed him. St. Matthew 9:9 We have had two weeks of Very cold weather but they tell uS it will be warmer after Valentine's Day. Sunday was very cold but calm. Our thermometer registered registered 17 below zero Fahrenheit Fahrenheit in the morning but there was a splendid number of children at Sunday School. A group of children sang, "Jonah "Jonah and the whale", accompanied accompanied by Mrs. K. Wood instead of the children's story. Rev. A. Tizzard said we had completed our journey through the books of the Old Testament. We are now starting on our journey through the New Testament. Matthew may not have been the first writer of the New Testament but he links his writing closely with the Old Testament. He tells us this or that has been accomplished as foretold by the prophets. The scripture reading was St. Matthew 6+24-34. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as his text verse 33, 'Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you'. Fifty-five times Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God as it is recorded in the New Testament. The Kingdom of God refers to our spiritual needs, which include acts of kindness, good deeds, our need to worship, etc. Jesus said the spiritual things come first. Our forefathers brought with them The Word of God as well as material things. The Bible says, "I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end." God is there at the begining and at the end. Make sure he is there in the rest of our life. Seek the Kingdom and all will be well.

"Maple sugar was ■ made by all the settlers, some families putting down as much as seven hundred j pounds in a season. There were no apples, but there was something just as good. The pumpkin bee was a social function and lads and lassies gathered for miles around to peel and string pumpkins for drying, just as those of later generations had their apple- paring bees. And what delicious delicious pies those dried pumpkins pumpkins did make." , Frank Thom to retire W.

A study at Trent University of declining memory in older persons may utlimately help individuals remember more efficiently. Gordon Winocur, a member of Trent's department department of psychology, has received a $52,000 grant from the Medical Research Council of Canada to support a two-year study. His research in recent years has focussed upon memory loss in animals and in persons suffering from traumatic amnesia. His findings findings from this work, he feels, may relate to the less extreme forms of memory loss frequently observed in older persons. Thé study will involve relatively simple learning tests given to persons over 70 in several areas, including Peterborough. Individuals will be asked to learn lists of paired words (e g. "Battle - soldier") and to recall them at a later date. To facilitate recall, Professor Professor Winocur intends to use "contextual cueing" which has successfully been used in reducing the severe amnesia associated with certain types of brain damage. In this procedure, tests are administered in a very distinct distinct context - a darkened room illuminated only by a bright red light with unusual music playing in the background. background. Such manipulations strongly strongly characterize the learning situation", said Professor Winocur, "and help indivi- . duals more easily recall the lists. The use of cueing is prompted by evidence from past research demonstrating that individuals use the context context of an event to assist them in recalling details". He offered an example: a friend asks if you remember John Smith. The name doesn't prompt a . memory and the friend reminds you that you met him at a meeting a month before. That is still not enough, information and the process of recall doesn't adequately begin until the friend provides further cues (Mr. Smith's clothing or personal appearance) which serve to trigger the right association. The value of cueing, he added, "lies in the fact that it helps avoid interference from previously icuieiuuercQ items or events which occur in the intervals between testing", His study, said Professor Winocur, will relate to the physihlogical process involved involved in declining memory. The testing associated with it may lead to methods or devices that will help individuals individuals to use their memories more effectively. Fitness. It gives much more than it takes.
