And if you're tanned, and all goes' fine Please ' drop the stay-at-homes a line. ■ Sunday July 27th was a perfect . day for an outdoor service. There was a good turn out from the three church areas. We wish to thank Mr. & Mrs. Morley Robinson for having this open air service at their home. The guest speaker and soloist was Mr. Barry Lane of Peterborough. His first solo was entitled,"What a lovely name is Jesus." Then following following the announcements . of the regular services next Sunday August 3 and the Vacation Bible School August 18-22nd we were favoured with a trio by three lads who are attending attending Toronto University this summer. Rolf Hellebust played the organ. Andrew Hellebust, the trombone trombone and a lad from West Berlin Ingmar Ingmar Arnold the trumpet. They played two selections. Ingmar's mother Mrs. Annelies Arnold from West Berlin was also a guest of Mrs. M. Stevens. -- After the offering Mr. Lane sang "The Way That He Loves" and his sermon topic was, "What's in a Name". Tables laden with fine food were spread in the carport from which we all served ourselves and enjoyed a social time in friendly groups. H. Gordon Green tells us from the Quebec Weeklies that this is the season of the Professional night hunter or Jack Hunter. One such man is believed to have shot 150 deer in one year - there seems always to be a market. When caught there is a stiff fine but these characters are usually on relief so have no money to pay fines. It is nice to see these beautiful green lawns and flower beds as one travels through the country and there is a safety feature also. August is almost here with it's August drought. Then the fire hazard begins. When we had the last dry spell in May someone in a passing car tossed a cigarette and the grass took fire just nortl) of ' Bruce Cathcart's gate. It just happened happened the children saw it and with pails of water were able to dousè it in the pasture. Jt burned two fence posts but if unchecked it could have reached the bush. So it's wise to keep all grass cut short near the buildings. The most healthful way to cook an egg is to poach it. Put an inch of water in the frying pan add a pinch of salt to keep the-, egg from spreading, add the egg, cook, ■ remove while still soft sprinkle with grated cheese.

Recently I watched an expert paint my ceiling standing on the floor using a paint roller with a long handle attached to it. ,No need of a step-ladder and brush, , except around the edges. Saves a lot of time but buy the best paint for the second coat or the results might be streaky. I Married the Klondike By Laura Berton The steamer slipped easily down river stopping occasionally to take on cord-wood, which she burned voraciously, or to drop a passenger or two off into the wilderness. The "rnal slap of the paddle : wheel -^nd the periodic rumble of cord- wood being unloaded into the furnace furnace well from hand-carts below the decks disturbed our dreams or lull ed our slumber depending on our temperaments. The whole land was aflame with autumn colours, the birches and aspéns yellow, the shrubs above the timber-line crimson, crimson, the sky frost blue. Etched against it were ragged V's of mallard ducks going south for' the winter like the people. We had passed on the train. The watercourse itself twisted continually there wasn't a quarter mile of straight stretch on the entire trip - and although the general course was north, we were often travelling west or east. In fact at , one place opposite Eagle Mountain called Taylor's Cut-Off we made such an abrupt hairpin turn that for a distance of seven miles the steamer's compass veered the entire hundred and eighty degrees. At the entrance to this wooded peninsula the steamer gave an abrupt whistle and pulled up to shore and we were told that anyone who wished to might follow a path across the neck of land and wait for the boat to pick them up on the opposite opposite side. Led by Mr. Turkington the Presbyterian minister, we set off ..through the thickets of berries and bright autumn leaves to the other side of the peninsula where we rejoined rejoined the steamer three hours later. The river from this point was a network with channels and sloughs, some narrow and shallow, others as wide and as fast as the main body. They had told us at Whitehorse that the trip to Dawson would take forty hours, "unless" a word that covered all sorts of uncontrollable situations and explained why the steamers kept no rigid schedules. But we were in no hurry, and when the boat stuck fast on a sand-bar at a spot appropriately named Hell's Gate we greeted the mishap cheerfully. cheerfully. We were close to an Indian encampment and many of the passengers wanted to photograph the. natives. They were a shy primitive people wearing large rings through their noses and they fled in , terror when they saw the cameras. We were aground two days on the sand bar, then moved off again down the lonely river, with its lonely lonely little cabins and its lonely men'. Somewhere round the bend was the golden city of Dawson. There was a sharp autumn chill in the air and I felt buoyant with anticipation. I had received my northern baptism, eaten my first moosemeat, encountered encountered my first drunk, -met my first sourdough. Romance in many forms lay quite literally just around the corner.

Are the council so hard up they To study GO bus service to Newcastle VU. The Town of Newcastle has sought a study as to the possible extension of the GO Transit bus system to the Village of Newcastle. Newcastle. The request has been received by GO Transit who point out to council that the Ministry of Transportation and Communication Communication has the responsibility responsibility in determining on which corridors corridors GO Transit bus and rail services should be operated. GO Transit has forwarded the request to the Ministry. The Ministry has initiated a study to determine if service to Newcastle Village would perform perform an inter-regional transportation transportation function and if the magnitude of the demand and perhaps other considerations were sufficient to warrant a new service at this time. • GO Transit has assured the Town they will be informed of the results of the study. Newcastle supports SVA Council of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle on Monday gave their support to a proposal from the City of Peterborough Peterborough asking that the province institute a pilot study in Peterborough Peterborough as to Site Value Assess- ' ment. The Town of Newcastle is asking the Association of Municipalities of Ontario to support such a proposal and that the AMO make such a request request to the Province of Ontario to undertake the study. The issue and proposal was before Newcastle some months ago at which time the Town had taken no action. The Peterborough proposal for the Site Value Assessment would replace the present Market Value Assessment on which municipal taxation is based. Peterborough makes claim that Site Value Assessment as it only has concern for the value of land is more equitable than the use of Market Value Assessment which includes includes the value of land and the value of buildings on the land. The claim SVA is simple, understandable understandable and fair and as well encourages encourages improvements and new building without increasing assessment assessment resulting in more jobs. They also claim that SVA eliminates any need for rent control, as housing stock would be in better supply. can't afford to spray the road sides?

Youth 'Hot Line' enters third year providing needed service Hotline manager Don MacGillivray points out that many young people become discouraged after knocking on the,wrong doors. He says the Hotline can be used to direct young workers into programs that best meet their needs. Since its inception, there have- been more than 115,000 incoming telephone calls, 55,000 outgoing calls and 65,000 pieces of mail sent out. Statistics, however, don't tell the entire story. "This is a job in which you have to solve problems quickly, efficiently efficiently and simply," says Mr. MacGillivray. Counsellors. who answer the telephones are chosen carefully. "They must be calm, good at synthesizing synthesizing information, and have a thorough knowledge of the ministry's initiatives," he added. The Hotline is currently staffed" by 13 counsellors and a supervisor. In addition to the skills required of every cpunsellor, each has a specific area of expertise. One, for example, has a business background and another is, knowledgeable about programs for disabled persons. Counsellors can réspond to French enquiries and the Hotline is also accessible to Ontario's'hearing impaired community through a Telephone Device for the Qeaf with its special number -1-§00-387-0743. Counsellors decide whether a caller can be helped immediately or whether the person requires special follow-up attention, which is usually usually provided within 36 hdurs. When appropriate, additional information information is mailed. ' Staff handle more than 600 calls a day during peak periods. It's not uncommon for those who call the Ontario Youth Hotline to express their gratitude to a counsellor for giving them helpful information, but one female counsellor was caught off guard when a grateful caller proposed marriage. Now starting its third year, the Ontario Youth Hotline gives callers across the province equal access to information about the Ontario Ministry of Skills Development's ■youth employment programs. And call they did: More than 115,000 calls in the first two years. "The Hotline is a link between young people and the programs of our Ministry," explains Skills Development Minister Gregory Sor- bara. "The fact that it keeps ringing shows us that thé public has found the service useffil." Hotline counsellors handle questions questions - thousands of them - and make referrals on provincial youth initiatives. The toll-free number, 1-800-387-0777, can be dialled from anywhere in the province. More than half the callers are young people. Employers make up 25 per cent and among the other callers are parents, social service workers, educators, government agencies and the media. Young people often call to ask for help in getting a job. Others have more specific questions about youth programs. Many of the questions deal with FUTURES - a ministry program initiated initiated last Nqvember to give hard- to-employ young people on-the-job training and work experience in order to break the cycle of unemployment.

If the samples test below a certain limit, no action is taken and the results are kept on file: Every now and then a sample tests above the limit. At that time Toronto immediately contacts the park in question and the local health unit, and the area is re-tested. Often a bad sample is the result of collecting water near a dead fish. When this happens, tne area is immediately re-tested. If the sample re-tests below the safe limit, IV) further action is taken.
