2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 12, 1986 "CO" TO OSHAWA? ■Last year the province announced the extension of the rail GO system of transit, to Whitby and has left extension to Oshawa somewhat in the air. This has'Caused the Regional Chairman, Gary Herrema, and Mayor Pilkey of Oshawa to be disturbed in that present plans are rather sketchy as to timing for the extension to Oshawa. The pressure is on to have the system brought to the city but as yet the province has made no commitment as to when that might happen. It must be remembered that the province is under the same financial restraints as are the municipalities and must, we hope, make the best use of public funds. In extending the GO system to Whitby the province has provided provided not only Whitby but also Oshawa the opportunity to provide their internal internal system of transit to mesh with the GO system. Oshawa presently has its internal system in operation and should welcome the potential for increased revenue in providing direct transit to a GO station even though it may be in Whitby. Sid Rutherford in his theory of rapid transportation calls upon the municipalities to provide internal transit to arty rapid system. It does reduce the parking problem as presently exists at Pickering providing providing of course the general public would leave their gas operated vehicles at home rather than adding' to traffic congestion, the need for new traffic routes and of course the parking problem. For those outside of Oshawa the extra few miles to Whitby really is no problem, its a mere matter of minutes. The Region and municipalities claim that they are faced with untold costs in updating their road systems which ; have deteriorated over the past years. They are looking to the'province for extra monies for this cause and many other causes which they see in need of further funding. The province has already provided an additional half million dollars to the Region for road work this year but this, claim the Region is inadequate and seek even more. . Perhaps it is time to set some priorities in provincial spending in the area and we doubt the extension of GO to Oshawa is one of them other than it would look great on the map but really not add to transit service. The extension extension to Whitby does bring the service to the most easterly area of concentrated concentrated population and what more is required at this time.

The Kendal United Church Women met at the home of Mrs. Ron Frank on Tuesday afternoon March 4th at 1:30 p.m. with six ladies present. Mrs. Dora Youngman welcomed all and red'd the 23rd Psalm in Indian Indian Vernacular ending with the words, "He fills my cup till it runs over. ■ God, will stay with me all through this life; and afterward 1 will move to the Big Tepee and will sit down with the Shepherd Chief forever." Then we sang, "Saviour like a Shepherd lead us" No. 424. Mrs. .Ron Frank read the scripture scripture pointing ahead to Easter, Luke 20:1-19 Instead of the devotional we thought about our Native Peo- ' pie. There are 327,155 Official Indians Indians in Canada. That is, they have a band number and arc registered with a band. They are, entitled to certain rights, health care, education, education, hunting and fishing privileges, rights to live on a reserve and treaty money, There arc about a million nonstatus nonstatus Indian people (or Inuit). Perhaps of mixed blood. Or they never made a treaty with the Dominion Dominion Government eg. bands on the Pacific Coast. . The white man has often taken advantage of the Indian and treated him very badly. Rev, Norman MacKenzie served as minister on the Reserve near Orillia for two .years. After he completed his term there he came to his summer home east of Kendal. He was called back to preach the funeral service of a fine young man who was returning to the Reserve aftef attending night school when he was hit by a car travelling at a high rate of speed. That evening two men decided they would have a night out. So they bought two cases of liquor and went over to the Reserve. When the liquor was consumed they started for home taking the middle of the road. The young man who was killed killed left a widow and small son. Then the story of Floyd Steinhauer was told. He is a carpenter by trade. At middle age with a family of six he decided to train for the ministry. He took his family south to Cook's School, Arizona brought them back to Edmonton at Christmas and returned alone 2,000 miles to complete the term. Since then he has been studying in Saskatoon. The minutes were read and financial financial report given. Offering $14.00 Brithday money $3.00. The U.C.W. " Presbyterial on March 18th will be held in Trinity, Bowmanville. Four members hope to attend. We are looking forward to hearing Native People as speakers. Two coming events were discussed. One the. dedication of the Carscadden- Elliott Pioneer window. It is hoped that maybe the church could be decorated first. Roll call - Relate any personal experience experience you have had with a native person. One said they had served a meal to a hobo Indian during the depression. depression. Another told of two in a school who would only say "Yes" and "No" nothing else.' Another said that she had tried to be friendly but the Native person had never spoken. However another said that when she was young a native family had worked for them in the busy season and were wonderful workers. The oldest girl had trained at a Mission school and was a perfect housekeeper, from this native girl she learned to turn a coloured coloured shirt inside out before hanging hanging it in the sun, to hang sheets wrong side down on tne ctoinesime so any marks will be on the wrong side etc. Then we sang "In Christ there is no east or west." The topic was, "Training Native ministers to serve in Native churches." churches." How do we train our United Church ministers? Usually by sending sending them to University and theological college where they spend several years studying. This system works fine "for most white, middle class ordinands. But for Native people the system simply isn't working. The Native man if given an education is a born orator; Yet we have 55 Native United Churches Churches in Canada yet Native ministers are very few indeed. Simply because the Native lads get so'lonely in a,big city or else he runs out of cash and returns to the Reserve. >' So an alternative experimental training program was passed by General Council in 1984. • The. Dr. Jessie Saulteaux Training Training Centre was established in the Qu'Appelle Valley at Fort Qu'Ap- ^pelle. Six students, were recom mended by their home churches to lake the five year training. Really "training on the job." They assist in their home churches and com- ' rriute back and forth to the training school for study, discussion,, seminars and leadership training, similar to those courses given at Five Oaks. In five years they will be ordained ready to serve any church Native or white; Laymen are also trained here for special work. The meeting closed with the Mizpeh benediction. Lunch was served by Mrs. L. Downes. Next meeting April the first at the home of Mrs. A. Cathcart. Earnest Thompson Selon By Fred Bodsworth (continued) He trailed Lobo that winter into the wild Currumpaw Valley and read from his trail the great wolf's single weakness-Lobo had taken as his mate a reckless white bitch named named Blanca. After four months of trailing, Selon finally trapped the impetuous Blanca and then using her body as a lure, he soon trapped Lobo too. But as soon as he saw the giant wolf in his traps, Selon was sorry for what he had done. Inspired Inspired by the wolf's cunning and defiant defiant fight, Selon wrote his great story Lobo, King of the Curum- paw, recognized today as his finest animal story. A true account, it appeared appeared in Scribner's magazine the Novepiber of 1894 and won immediate immediate widespread acclaim. Selon said many times later. "It was the beginning of my worldly success" But by "this time he was no longer in America to accept the plaudits. The wanderlust had bitten him again. He had used the prôeeeds of the Lobo sale to go back to Paris for more art study. , Here he met Grace Gallatin, a socially prominent New Yorker and on his . retufn to New York two years later they weçe married. Now thirty-six he tried to settle down as a wildlife illustrator, bul even marriage marriage failed to tie him down. He continued periodic rambles to the west and around 'this time discovered a new purpose for travelling - lecturing tohrs. . In 1898 he offered eight of his most popular magazine stories to Scribner's,- the book publishers. Scribner agreed to publish them but warned Selon it was a hazardous publishing venture and told him he would have to be satisfied with a ten percent royalty. Seton asked how many copies he must sell to cover initial publishing costs. Scribner answered, "two thousand." Seton was so confident of its success he said he would accept no royalties on the first two thousand copies qn condition he receive double royalties on all copies sold abo\ two thousand. Scribner balked, bu^-> he had set his own trap and couldn't escape. So that was the deal they made. Wild Animals I Have Known appeared appeared in October 1898. Critics shouted Hosannas and the public loved the new, realistic and sympathetic, sympathetic, picture of wildlife it gave. Two thousand copies sold within three weeks and Seton then began collecting his double royalties. Three more large printings sold out before Christmas. Seton the struggling struggling footloose wildlife artist, suddenly suddenly found himself a wealthy and famous author on the strength of a few nature stories written as an . evening pastime.
