Editor Another chance for Newtonville With thp recent decision at the Durham Region council whereby provincial grants will be allowed to be applied directly to the benefit of property property owners where a new water system is to be considered considered and installed, it should bring néw hope that such as Newtonville can now afford the cost of a municipal system. Nothing ever comes cheap but this is one of the best deals for those in the hamlet of Newtonville as to insuring a safe and adequate water supply through the construction of a municipal system. Certainly no one has considered the drilling of individual wells as a solution in such an area. Of course the cost is greater for the municipal system but then also must the value of property increase proportionately proportionately to that increased cost of a municipal system. There is also the benefit of better fire protection protection and as had happened in Orono a reduction in fire premiums annual payments. The municipal system is of benefit all round and one would expect that the Town will again attempt attempt to solve the problem through a municipal system which all members appear to support. It was rather shocking a couple of month ago to hear of individual wells in the north of the Village of Orono, not serviced by the municipal system, to be contaminated and this point was presented against further development in the immediate area. • The area is certainly high, 1 dry and well drained. drained. Houses are not jammed together but still water quality is far less than one would hope for their own home. It becomes apparent that one does not need the drainage area as such in Newtonville to have water problems. The Town backed off a municipal supply for the Enniskillen area which sometime down the road could be another problem. Closer to home resident south of the third line on the Regional Road into Newcastle seek municipal water as the only alterative alterative to better their water supply quality. It is interesting to note that the Town has accepted accepted individual well development even while other areas were serviced for water and sewers. This of course was prior to the surge in Courtice and as well at Wilmot Creek Homes development. There is no other, alternative than municipal water and this should be a key to future development in the Town. ' A real asset While visiting the Orôno Park recently one could not but feel what an asset the park was to this community. A few weeks ago we wrote about cleaniness and neatness in other parts of the community and it wasn't long before we realized that it was the cleanliness and neatness of the park and those attributes attributes of nature that really had caught the eye. t < , : ■ , * The Town is carrying out an excellent job at the park and as such it is aruasset to this community and the town as a whole. No doubt staff in charge of the park and the park-like area at the north end of Mill Street are instrumental instrumental in the overall appearance of these two parcels of land. It does show that someone cares and has dedication toKhe work they arc doing. . Certainly we would like to say wc are enjoying . the efforts of those doing the joh. Oh, life's most brilliant tapestry Would pall before too long Without the simple background threads That keep its beauty strong. Pauline Chadwell . On Sunday morning July the thirtieth thirtieth the H rain was pouring down but 1 thought since it's raining so hard now likely it will ease off by the timè I'm ready for church. This it djid, and I went to the Union Service Kendal News Little Things A heart remembers little things And wisdom holds them dear-- ■A tender smile, the hand's brief touch. A lovely word to hear. in' Kirby. One advantage of a single service for all three churches is the singing is so fine. You see, scattered among the audience audience are some of the chjor singers of the other churches. This was the case at Kirby with Mrs. Martha Farrow Farrow at the organ leading the much loved hymns. li was nice to see so many little folk who went out for Sunday School after the children's story and song that they sang. The scripture reading was ' Luke 15:11-35. Rev. Fred Milnes' sermon was "Then need for forgiveness in a guilt ridden society," Remember the special outdoor service at the'home of Mr. Morley Robinson of Shiloh, on Sunday July July 27th with a special speaker. It will commence at eleven a.m. Bring your lawn chairs and a picnic basket containing a casserole or sandwiches sandwiches or something for a second course eg. tarts, squares, a pie etç. Everyone welcome. Our sympathy is extended to Mrs. Julia Jackson on the sudden death of her second daughter, Mrs. Ruth Irwin whose funeral was from Port Hope Funeral Parlours on July July 5th to Knoxville Cemetery. She was a graduate nurse who trained in Ottawa. She lived with her husband Allan and three sons in Kendal village until twelve years ago when they moved to a home north of Port Hope. Besides her husband and sons she leaves three sisters Margaret of California, Kathleen (Mrs. Davis) of Peterborough and Phylis (Mrs. Price) of Bowmanville and also three brothers, Bill, Paul and Ross. Several of the Kendal Women's Institute spent part of the second week of July at the Couroux cottage on LakeKushog in Haliburton. Some people when they go on a vacation think they must be well fortified with spirits for to wile away the time. One time four of us went on a boat trip from Hudson to Red Lake a distance of 169 miles by water. We were given this trip, compliments compliments of the Chairman of our School Board. He owned all the boats that carried freight, not passengers to Red Lake. He also gave a business friend the same trip at the same time. As our bags were to go on deck one young man tossy ed each valise up to -a deckhands high up on, the ship. The business friend had two club bags as they were being tossed up he said, "Bp careful of those club bags, they have my toothbrush in them." By the next morning we knew what else they contained besides his toofh brush. I Married the Klondike (Cont'di (By Laura Berton) On the first day of her boat trip up the Pacific Coast she met Mr. Hamilton a telegrapher on tnle Yukon River. A quiet studious majt of about thirty who wore a brown twëed cap, who never smoked, but always carried a copy of Mary Baker Eddy's "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" about with him. He said her faith had been a wonderful help to him. As they had walked down the long wharf on the way to lunch he asked if he might show her the White Horse Rapids when they arrived at L the head of the Yukon River the following day. She had accepted. When he arrived the following day he had been a little too well fortified. fortified. He was fairly sober but his face was pale, his eyes bloodshot,' and his hand shaking. "I've been drinking," he said morosely, by way of opening the conversation. I had never seen a man in this condition condition before. What was to bavé been a pleasant outing now became an ordeal. Mr. Hamilton spent half l>is time apologizing for his' condition and the other .half quoting from the theories of Mary Baker Eddy which he said were saving him, not loo successfully it appeared, from drink, in addition the mosquitoes were eating me ajive. It was with vast relief that after the mere glance at (he rapids 1 got back to the hotel. We did not sec Mr. Hamilton » again till ten that evening when the stedmer approached Gassier Bar where he was to disembark. The purser went to his room and steered his inebriated passenger to the deck. The river was too low to dock at the bank so our friend was put off in a small boat. We watched him being rowed to shore in the dim light. W,e could just make out the outline of two cabins, from one of which came a faint glimtper. It was a lonely-looking, placé for a drunk man to be left. When he saw us on deck he stood up to wave an unsteady good-bye. He was unequal to it and fell flat on his face in the bottom of the boat. "Here endeth the first lesson," said Miss Hamtorf in her dry way. "A fitting introduction to the Yukon." (continued to Dawson) - As I write this Ray Sonan of C.F.R.B. Calling All Britains and his wife are sailing along the west coâst of B.C. somewhere near the Yukon. (Cqpied from a clipping by George & Edie Manet) When we opened the going-away gift we couldn't help but feel that our. friend had mixed up her packages that daÿ. We were wrong what we got had been intended for us and not some expectant parents on our friend's list. We were soon to realize' ■ .how valuable and thoughtful a gift it was. We were' planning a trip of several months in England, France, Italy and Switzerland, a good portion portion of which would be by car. There would be aeroplane, train and bus travel, too. Packing had to be light, despite a change of seasons and we had to anticipate those unforeseen unforeseen exigencies, crises and emergencies that one 'knows will happen when travelling. Along with flashlights, medications, medications, bandages and a full-laundry- list of other "necessaries" why had we never before thought of so practical practical an item to carry? Diapers. Yes diapers. Our friend had given us' half ,a . dozen old- , fashioned çotton diapers, three for each of us, to tuck .into empty niches in our luggage or handbags. She had pre-washed them for us, thus giving us soft, clean absorbent fabric with a multitude of uses. We compiled a potential list, aided aided by our friend (who had been using using them for years) and we used a good number of them. A napkin, a tablecloth, a covering covering for a dirty bench, a rdek, the grass; a handkerchief, a rag for wiping wiping windshields or sponging up spills. A dishtowel, a potholder, as in sulation packaging for breakahK or moist bottles', a bandanna or head covering, a bath mat. An impromptu bikini, two for males, three for- females, a sweat- band, à wash cloth, a warming scarf, a shopping bag (like the Japanese furoshiki), a signal flag by day and for Walking safely at night. And we thought of some applications applications we hoped would never be needed: a ' tourniquet, a sling, a brace for sprains, a compress and a bandage. You can find a multitude of other uses limited only by imagination and ingenuity. Laundering the diapers is a simple simple matter. A soaking in your hotel washbasin. They are still available in most dry good stores. Pre-washing increases increases absorbency. Weight is not a problem; and wherever they're stuffed stuffed or crushed or twisted they come out just fine. If none of your friends has the foresight to buy you a set of these wonderful going away gifts, treat yourself. Who knows? You might run into a young mother in dire need of a fresh diaper. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to help out? Si, Saviour's Anglican Church , MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev. James Small Rector 987-4745 .
