"What issues would you be prepared to die for?" was a question he put to delegates studying under his leadership the accounts of Jesus' civil disobedience in Mark's gospel. Dr. Paterson said that Jewish people in Europe are worried in 'Holy Week', the week leading up to Easter, because some Christians have used the arrest, trial and death of Jesus as a basis for antisemitism. But Jesus represents a critiquing of any religious structure, including those that bear his name, whenever they fall short of the will of God for humankind, or run counter to it, he said. Dr. Paterson urged delegates to look at "local • church priorities in the light of Jesus' statement that the stones of the temple, a building his disciples so admired, admired, would soon be leveled to the ground. "Should we sell our church buildings for what we can get for them, and build smaller?" he asked. asked. "Should we sell off our unused property and use the funds to help the needy?" he asked the delegates. There are some people who don't care if they ever ■ see a dusty country road. They were born and raised in the city, and they like- it there. Then there are others like Joe Reeve and his wife Tina who get fed up with the hustle and bustle of city life and want to feel the good earth, smell the fresh air and raise their kids in the country. Until ten years ago, Joe was a film director. He travelled travelled the world and did some award-winnjng work. 'But the lure of the land got' to him; He and Tina bought 90 acres near the village of Marlbank, north of Napanee,' and started a tree farm. They called it Golden Bough Farm, and went back to "old fashioned" fruit varieties which they budded on to standard or full-sized understocks. This made a larger but' hardier tree than' the currently popular dwarf trees. Joe says the dwarf or semi-dwarf tre'es are fine if you live in the Golden Horseshoe area, but they can't take the tougher climate ol places like the Georgian Bay district, Eastern Ontario and the Maritimes, or Western Canada. f As a result, the Reeve family sells big Wolf Rivers, Russets, and Duchess that used to grow on Ontario farms in the old days. They put them back on the mail order market, and now ship them all over Canada. In addition, they're developing the old fashioned varieties on new tough Russian rootstocks, which make robust trees that bear fruit earlier. It's not just the trees that make The Golden Bough an interesting place. When we were there recently there were four workers transplanting trees out in the fields. They didn't look like labourers. They looked like intellectuals. intellectuals. And they were. One was from Cape Town, another from Glascow, another was a professor from Harvard, and the fourth was am artistic type with a cultivated English accent who at one time called Haçlem his home! Joe said they were people he'd met at one time or another who just wanted to get away from it all for a month or so. ■ We had a rare day with the Reeves. They obviously love the life, and seem to have a good thing going with ^he Golden Bough, as well as fulfilling^ their dream of ,-tting back to the Good Earth. [ ftappeningg..

BUDGET CUT COULD BE DETRIMENTAL The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education in apporoving their annual budget recently cut, from the budget funding for' busing of Co-op students who leave the school for practical experience outside the classroom in local businesses and industry.
