3-6|pono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 22, 1986 Whats Happened to Free Enterprise While the Ontario government looks to free enterprise to take over its investment in rapid transit and the federal government looking to free enterprise to correct all the ills of the economy and as well take over investments in Crown corporations the free enterprise enterprise system in this area would seem to be breaking down. Recently the Public Works Department of the Town of Newcastle outbid free enterprise in garbage collection by a considerable considerable margin to the point that some council members had difficulty difficulty in believing such could be the case. Its gone one step further with the Newcastle Hydro Electric Commission now looking to the Town of Newcastle Public Works department to provide maintenance and repairs to their fleet of eight trucks. It would appear free enterprise again takes a back seat for surely the Hydro system first looked at the private sector for maintenance and repairs to their fleet. Joint Use the Logical Course The joint use of school grounds for both school use and community activities in sports out of school hours seems the most logical course to follow for any municipality and school board. After all the local taxpayers support each body with their tax dollars' and there is no reason there should be duplications. The issue came before council on Monday when the Com- - munity Services director gave support to joint use as a method of curtailing duplicating costs. Its been a somewhat old issue in this municipality and it is not the first time that Counc. Cowman has referred to the condition condition of school playing fields and their summer maintenance. ' Surely its not a big problem but the Town would be expected to bear a cost to upgrade fields to their requirements. One would have to support Counc. McKnight statement that there is no reason to leave this matter to simmer. Lets hope the two groups can come to terms so that their joint tax supporters can gain the benefits of joint-use of the playing fields. Apartment Fire in Orono Tuesday afternoon the Orono Station of the Town of Newcastle Fire Department answered a call to downtown Orono where fire was reported in an apartment over the Harvey Partner Plumbing and Heating store. Early reports put the cause of the fire due to a dryer and considerable furniture as well was destroyed and taken out of the apartment by the fire department. The fire was quickly brought under control. , Kendal News Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

Mrs. Dorothy Turansky Chose as her topic, "The Comeback of the Quilt." The quilting revival is on! From great-grandmother's painstakingly stitched patchwork coverlet to today's strikingly modern geometric wall hanging, quilts have leaped back into the public eye. The Winnipeg Art Gallery featured fifty quilts made in Manitoba since 1945 and more than . 40,000 people thronged to the show. Over 3,000 visitors come to the three day quilt and rug fair, held every other year by the 400 member Simcoe County Arts & Crafts Association. Last May some 20,000 turned out to the annual Mennonite Relief Sale in New Hamburg, Ont. Bidders paid a total of $40,000 for 300 full and crib-size quilts made by the Mennonite women. One outstanding multi-coloured, cross- stitched quilt called, "Tree of Life" ' brought $1,400.00. Sale proceeds help fund medical and edûcational programs in 35 countries. The word "quilt" comes from , the latin culcita meaning cushion. The roll call was, "What-invention "What-invention has made housework easier for you?" Some answers were electric dishwasher, microwave oven, electric electric carving knife, electric tea kettle. . A dainty lunch was provided by Mrs. Grace Manders and Mrs. Helen Couroux. Last week we began the story "Room of Blood" by Brett Balon. Sister Mary Agnes asks What is the Host? "The Host is the body of Christ," everybody said. "Paul, what happens if you chew the Host?" "If you chew the Host, the room fills up with blood and you drown" "Good Paul, now we can go." I knew what drowning felt like. Once I'd been breaking ice in the ditch with a log when I was waiting for Mrs. Fuller to pick me up for school. I slipped and fell into the hole I made. I was under water looking at the ice and it was really hard to breathe. Mom ran out of the house in her housecoat and pulled pulled me out. I threw up a lot of water, When Mom took me in the house, I saw that she hadn't even put on boots. She was still wearing her pink slippers and her feet were red from cold. I said I was sorry but she sort of laughed and cried at the same time, and she didn't even give me a spanking. But later when 1 was in bed with the hot water bottle, she said she was really afraid I might die. She told me 1 about drowning and, how the lungs fill with water so you can't breathe. Mom's a nurse so she 1 knows these things. Sometimes Mom said, people don't get out of , the water in time and since you can't breathe water only air, you, 'die. I told her that it was really quiet in the water, T couldn't hear anj frogs and I saw bubbles and the ice really looked nice, but then it'got dark. She said that was what ,dying was like, but it was a bad thing to die unless you were old and it was God's plan for you to die, so I'd better not play with the log and the ice again. I said okay. I didn't like the choking and the throwing up from drowning, I decided to die when I was old instead. I had to hold on to Mary Beth ■ Jameson's hand when we marched over to the church. I liked her. She was really quiet and Sister never hit her. When we went anywhere I had to hold her hand. The boys were supposed to look after the girls. I liked it better when it was fall. Then I could hold her hand without mitts, on. Her hand was cool and nice. We went over to the church and did our procession and going up to the communion communion rail. Sister pretended to be Fathér but she had to warn Peter because he didn't genuflect right. She hit George and Daniel.for talking. talking. She warned Joanne too. Sister didn't hit the girls as much as the boys, but she told the girls if they didn't watch out they'd get turned into a block of salt like Lot's wife. George and Daniel had been talking talking about how big a block Joanne would make, and if she'd be pink like the salt block their herefords licked. Then they wondered who their salt block was before, some girl from our school who had too many black marks on her soul, or some girl from another school. That's'when Sister hit them. Then we had our first confession so our souls would be clean on Sun- * day. A soul' is something like a pillow with no feathers in it and sort of like a white blackboard that you can put black, marks on. I guess the angels put the black marks on when they see youdo something bad. The black marks are fôr your sins. The only sins I could remember to tell were fighting with my brothers. I was careful not to tell lies because, Sister had told us it would make your mouth go dry and your tongue would stick in your mouth and your eyes would water and everÿope would know. You'd have (o go to purgatory for a couple of years or if it was really a big sin you'd go to Hell forever if you died before you confessed. When we were in line for confession confession I kept trying to count in my head how many times I fought with 1 my brothers but Peter was really dumb and said his out loud. He fought with his brothers and sisters and lied and played at the dugout. Sister bopped him fôr talking in church. "If you have to repeat them do it silently." No one laughed with Sister there. Besides it was bad to laugh at another person for maki i mistake or being punished. It was a little sin though not an immortal one. You could be punished too, if not by Sister then by God sending you to Purgatory. Those flames would punish you for laughing at someone else's misfortune. That's what Sister said. She didn't like laughers. After we were done rehearsal, i Sister told us again what we should wear on Sunday and what would happen to us if she learned that we'd sinned before our first communion: communion: She looked real hard at Peter when she said that. After she told us one. more time what we had to wear on Sunday she let us go home.- st swill* Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev.
