Another case of pollution Over the past few months there'has been a number of reports of polluted drinking water ranging from an area along No. 2 Highway in the Courtice area, north of the Village of Newcastle where resident seek the installation ,of municipal water, in northern Orono and one would still include the poor drinking water supply in Newtonville. The water supply at Clarke High School over the past three weeks for drinkihg purposes has been turned off and bottl- e d ' ' _ | water has been supplied and which is still in use at the school. Certainly there are wells that are improperly sealed and could well take in surface runoff and others of a shallow nature could well be too close, to the septic tile systems and other sopurces of pollution. This surely is not the case of-the water supply at Clarke where the well is drilled, properly sealed and drilled to a depth of some 260 feet. Its also hard to imagine that the wet weather conditions should affect such a well; at such a depth and as well placed a half mile from any source of pollution as a septic system. Our knowledge of hydrology is limited to say the least but the occurence of polluted wells certainly appears to be on the.in- crease. The source of such pollution at a depth of 260 .feet has never been explained in a convincing manner. The source of pollution, we would imagine could be miles away and carried through the aquafier until the source is tapped by a well installation. installation. Once the aquafier has been polluted we would expect it could take years to cleanse after the source of pollution is eliminated. And we do understand that water does move very slowly through the aquafier. It is to be hoped that in the past half century we have not destroyed our water supply which has always been taken for granted. If we have it certainly will take more than a half century to clean up, if at all possible. Why not share with School Boards The School Board in their brief to the Ministry of Education Education notes that there is a revenue loss to the boards through the location of Crown Corporations within their jurisdiction. The corporations do pay grant in- lieu of taxes to municipalities but none of this money is shared with the boards of education. The local board does have a number of Crown Corporations Corporations directing grants in lieu to the various municipalities but not one cent to education. , V There is no plausable reason that such should be the case and such as Ontario Hydro should be treated the same as is Goodyear or other industry. A point we can agree with. Letter to the Editor: I am writing to inform you of a most horrific act which was perpetrated on October 30th. A person or persons unkown opened the barnyard gate at the Kirby Kirby farm owned by my mother, Alice Hooey, thus allowing two horses to run out onto the seventh line, a well travelled highway. Despite the heroic efforts made by friends to redirect the horses back onto the property a terrible ac- * cidènt occurred. Muddy George, a. .well known local harness horse was mutilated and killed instantly when hit by a car. . This horse was bred and raised by my late father and Muddy George was loved by all of us.for his beauty, beauty, tiis much heralded success in his day and his unending spirit. He had been enjoying a well deserved retirement. retirement. ■ The other horse involved was fortunately fortunately rescued quite some distance from the farm and was suffering suffering from shock. To the person driving the car which was damaged beyond repair, thank goodness you were not hurt. Maybe next time when you see- flares on the road and people waving waving their arms you will know from Kendal News Bless us, heavenly Father forgive our erring ways Grant us strength to serve Thee put purpose in our days... Give us understanding... enough to make us kind this experience to slow your vehicle down, especially when towing a trailer and boat. To the person who did this dispicable act, know, that you will in future, when caught, be persecuted by the law for cruelty to animals, jeopardizing the safety of the public arçd possibly manslaughter (if someone should, God forbid, be killed). To, the neighbours surrounding the Kirby farm please be aware that your livestock could also be in danger. We all need to obviously increase increase observations of each other's property, in order to protect the things we love. If any of yc^i should notice anyone suspicious please contact the police immediately as the gate •* was again opened on November 2nd at which time it was luckily discovered and the police were notified. It is a shame that area farmers may have to consider padlocking their gates fn order to protect their stock. We do however need to prevent prevent any such further senseless acts ' from occurring such as this one. Sincerely yours, Marie Hooey So we may judge all people with our heart and not our mind.. And teach us to be patient in everything we do, Content to trust Your wisdom and to follow after You... And help us when we falter and hear us when we pray « And receive us in Thy Kingdom to dwell with Thee some day. Helen Steiner Rice Sunday was a beautiful sunny morning. There was a fine attendance attendance at' church, The choir sang, "Life's Railway to Heaven" and then later the Junior choir sang a motion song they all enjoyed entitled, entitled, "Clap, clap, dap, your hands." The sermon was most appropriate appropriate for Memorial Sunday. We sang Happy Birthday to Mrs. Mary Carscadden then after the service service we all went out to the Sunday School room to enjoy a social time. Mrs. Carscadden blew out the many candles on her birthday cake. Mrs. Jean Hoy and Mrs. Pat Atkins provided provided the cakes while three other ladies took charge of the luncheon and the other'extras. Saturday turned out to be rather a drizzly day for our bazaar but the people came anyway from far and near. Several that we hadn't seen since last year. Mrs. Hilda Wright and her friend, Mrs. Wood were there from Tyrone. Miss Kate Foster and Miss Sybil Langmaid came from Oshawa. This year- Mrs. Eileen Reid brought them as the day was rainy. In the past Miss Kate Foster always drove. We wish to congratulate her on obtaining her driver's license again and purchasing purchasing a new car; just like Mr. Vernon Peacock who obtained his again and purchased a new car. Mrs. Dianne De Jong of Cold Springs and her two daughters were at the bazaar. The proceeds amounted to over $800.00. The ladies wish to thank all those who supplied cooking, knitted goods, produce etc. or helped in any way. Mrs. Mabel Smith of Valencia, California is visiting her sister Mrs. A. Cathcart and her brother Mr; Arthur Thompson of Strathaven. A black parson was asked about the membership of his church. We got 50 and dey's all workin'", he said. "Fifty active members! Why that's wonderful it certainly speaks well of you." "Well I don't know about that. Half of them is workin' for me and half against me!" The great evangelist Gypsy Smith used to tell a story about when his little daughter was small. He had been on a long tour and the day after his return they went together to a bazaar. Everybody was wanting wanting to speak to him and hear the story of his travels. In the crush his little girl tried hard to cling to his hand. At last he bent down and pressed a coin into her hand. "Here Zillah," he said, "Take this and go and buy yourself something". Zillah's mouth puckered up and her eyes filled with tears. "Daddy," she sobbed. "I don't want your old money - I want you." It was a lesson he never forgot. Francis Gay tells us: As their contribution to the local Sunday School Open Night the Lady of the House agreed to organize a Children's Bible quiz. , She tried to make the questions reasonably easy but was prepared to receive some unusual answers. However, 1 think even she was surprised surprised when, in answer to the question question "What is an epistle?" one Small boy answered confidently, "The wife of an apostle"! The Kendal United Church women met in the church kitchen on November 5 with ten ladies present present and one visitor. Mrs. D. Youngman opened the meeting with the poem "Stewardship". "Stewardship". Then she suggested that we omit our hymn singing in order to Shorten our meeting as wé had the tables to set up for the bazaar. She called on Mrs. A. Cathcart to give the devotional that- hdd been prepared by Mrs. H. Wood who was unable to be present. The subject of the devotional was "Stewardship in Worship - You can make a difference." The scripture reading was Mark 6:30-44. This was read by Mrs. Judy Fonk, who has been visiting her mother Mrs. E. Foster. The wise person sets priorities and works first with the most important on down through the least important, Matt. * 7:33 Seek first his kingdom. Then other things will take second place. Stewardship includes not only our money but also our leisure time and talent as well. The disciples were tired. Jesus suggested they cross the lake to a quiet place. However the crowd walked around the head of the lake. Jesus preached to them but spiritual food was not enough. The crowd needed food 5,000 men with wives and families. It is impossible to explain explain how Jesus fed them except to say where there is true faith material things will be cared for ' in due order. Leisure time is a gift from God. It may be good stewardship to spend a large share of it working for Christ in the service' of others. A good steward can make a difference. Mrs. L. Downes read the financial financial report. Moved by Mrs. E. Foster sec-, by Mrs. M. Stevens that we give $50:00 towards the building of the new Bowman ville Hospital. Carried. Offering today $22.00. The World Day of Prayer service will be in Kendal next March. The W.I. gave 50 cups to. the church. Miss C. Stewart gave the minutes of the last meeting. • Mrs. M. Stevens gave us a fine resume of the Regional Meeting in Oshawa which they attended. She and Mrs. D.'Youngman enjoyed it. It is -twenty-five years since the U.C.W. was formed. A humourous skit was given s*howing the ladies as young women in the newly formed U.C.W. Then they were supposed to return 25 years later very old and grey. She explained -thç Logo to us. There were 13 suggestions of what we can do which she vv.ill give us at the next meeting. The speaker De'bbie Marshall's topic was' "Where .is your U.C.W. going?" . ■ Our next meéting will be our Christmas Pot Luck Dinner held at the home of Mrs. Peggy Frank at 12:30 on December 3rd. Each one provides a number for the program, a craft, à story, or a poem. The meeting closed with 'the Mizpah benediction. Lunch was provided by Mrs. M. Stevens. A new book has just been published entitled, "The Long and the Short and the Tall" by Robert Collins. He was just a young man on a prairie farm who dreamed of being a pilot, a hero. So !>e joined the air force. However when they tested him he was colour blind so could not be one of an air crew. He could either be a cook, or a mechanic. He waSafraid his friends would laugh if he became a cook. There wasn't much glamour to be- ing a cook so he chose to be a mechanic. He became one of those who kept the heroes flying, During the summer summer of '44 they sent him to a Bombing Bombing and Gunnery Station in Quebec. His best friend and he asked for a posting Overseas. The shooting war was over. They were shipped into Germany and stationed stationed at Hamburg. A very important important strategic harbour city. There was miles and miles of mountains of rubble. It had been bombed so often. The war had wound down but how. do you treat the people scrambling for food and a bit of clothing? This is a book telling of the ordinary airman's war. St. Saviour's Anglican Church ' MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev.
