Apparently Apparently the water supply at the school, situated in the middle of free open space, is polluted and has been since the opening of school in September. Its rather shocking when it has been revealed that the well is a drilled well and further at one time was next to a flowing well. That, of course* may have nothing to do with the pollution problem which appears to be closing in from all sides over the past couple of years. It wasn't that long ago that Clarke High School students were drinking bottles water and may still be if it wasn't for chorlination. The condition of the water has not likely changed -it's now being purified chemically. One planning report at the Town meeting on Monday as well noted the existance of polluted wells north of Newcastle Village on County Road 17. It was here that a couple of years ago residents had asked that the Newcastle water system be extended extended into their area and it was intimated that they were willing to pay for the extension. The Region balked at the proposal and no such action has beën taken. The news out of Courtice as to individual water supply is not an encouragement that man is not destroying what used to be a wholesome and natural product to sustain life. Reports came out of north Orono as to polluted waters a ' year ago. You can add to this the Newtonville problem where it is now expected that the Region will install a water system at a cost of some $1.5 million. f It is somewhat surprising to see the Town of Newcastle give approval to a 20 plus lot sub-division in the Newtonville area, an area known to be plaqued with a polluted water supply. Just another problem to be faced in the not too distant future. It woqld ahve seemed more logical had the Town encouraged development within Newtonville where in all likelihood there will be a municipal system in operation in the near future. Certainly man is the cause of water pollution but no one seems concerned enough at the present time to determine where the pollution is coming from and if the problem cannot be turned turned around. We suspect that information is available as to the cause of such water contamination that exists in this area. But, as often happens, such causes are kept under wraps. Is there to be any difference? Having been a member of the Save the Rouge Valley organization for a number of years we were pleased to see that this group along with an umbrella group representing some 35 other groups were successful in there bid against development in the Valley. On Monday night Scarborough council voted to support the Save the Rouge Valley in their bid to protect some 5000 acres of land as a natural area within the watershed. This meant the turning aside of residential development within the sensitive area. However having won this battle is not a case that the war has been won. The group now has to face the owner of the property, property, the Provincial government,* and if one woulcf take from the evening news .report this battle is far from over. As to comments from two of the new liberal cabinet ; ministers they have no more Concern'over saving such as the Rouge Valley as had the Tories. Most disappointing. Letter to Editor: Kendal News We were visiting in Orono this past Saturday for the first time apd we -went to the New Dutch Oven Restaurant, corner of .35/115 highway for dinner. We were so pleased with the food, service and price of our meal that we felt we should let you folks know and say a little something about it in your paper. The cook's name is Bassy Katsiapis and we had the best roast beef dinner ever for $6.95, the por tion was plentiful and very tasty! We eat in restaurants everyday because of our work:ahd we have never had such good food for that „ price. I understand that deal is on every evening, so could you please put in a plug for them mentioning the cook's name. Thankyou, Mr. & Mrs. Cal Hoffman Box 105 Arden, Ont.

DOUG HALL And now, when comes a calm mild day, as still such days will come To call the squirrel and the bee from out their winter home When the sound of dropping nuts is heard, though all the trees are still And twinkle in the smoky light the waters of the rill On Saturday and Sunday it was Indian Summer in November. We have two Indian Summers one the first week of October, described in these words, "Along the line of smoky hills the crimson forest stand." Then we have a November Indian Summer described in the poem above. There is no frost at night in the true Indian Summer. They tell me that cattlemen are buying buying water. We need more rain. Sunday morning was a beautiful morning, temperature 6 degrees celsius or 43 degrees F. at 8 a.m. with no wind and lots of sunshine. The choir sang, "When the roll is called up yonder." Then came the children's story which was followed by the Baptism of Derek Steven son of Steven and Laurie Sellars, of Kendal Village. We were reminded of Kendal Bazaar which will be November 14th from 2 to 4 p.m. Ladies please provide vegetables, knitted goods, crafts and home baking as well as "touch and take parcels to sell for fifty cents." The scripture reading was Hearing Hearing God's Word Rev. 7:9-17; 1 John 3:1-3 and Matthew 5:1-12. Sermon: "Is there a Saint in our Midst." On Neighbourly News last Sun- . day morning they told of a man named Tom Pendal of Bayfield, Ontario who makes carriages. Bayfield is about sixty miles straight west of Burk's Falls or north west of Parry Sound on Georgian Bay. He made a beautiful carriage to be drawn by a team of horses. It was sold and sent to Hawaii for a tourist attraction but the horses ran away and damaged it. He went to Hawaii and fortunately he was able . to repair it and put it into service again. The company have- now ordered fifteen shiny black carriages carriages and also a wedding carriage. Long ago a groom hired a cab to take them to the railway- station. This will be quite a help to a little place like Bayfield. Then the song "The Surrey with the fringe on top," was sung on the "Fresh Air" program. ■ Did you know that carriages were made in Kendal in 1892 by a man named Alexander Chestnut. His son John was also a carriage maker. He had two daughters one was the mother of the world famous doctor born in Kendal, named Sir Thomas Stanton. The other daughter was the great grandmother of the Quan- trill families, that live in Orono. Alexander Chestnut was also a clever inventor. His son John went to California and did well, then he sent for his parents and they moved to California. He and his son John made carriages carriages on the lot just east of the former general store owned by Bill Mercer, Bill Turansky and all the other owners. ' Now the sun is farther away give the children a halibut liver oil tablet each morning. This prevents colds. The Red Cross supplied them for years to the schools till the cost • became .too great. Mrs. D. Youngman, Mrs. M. Stevens and Mrs. A, Cathcart attended attended the Regional Meeting of the Oshawa Presbyterial of the United Church held at Zion on October 28th. This is one of the most beautiful little churches I have ever been in. They have beautiful memorial 1 -windows modern pulpit and lectern, a large new Christian Educational room, with a well equipped kitchen in between. As I sat enjoying the beautiful surroundings surroundings I couldn't help but' think of the song my mot,her,used to sing. "We're marching upward to Zion The beautiful city of God." We were favoured, by an excellent leader of our sing song. She led us in the singing of several hymn and taught us a new one with lots of rhythm and gave us the sheet music to take home. It is entitled, "We've got something to_ share.'.' The special speaker for the morning morning was Rev. Dawn Vaneyk her subject subject was prayer and the study of the scripture, which was most helpful. 1 One hundred and thirty sat down to the noon meal. There was a wonderful assortment of knitted goods that the ladies provided for our Jack Frost project for Christmas gifts to families in need. I certainly hope the Soper side road can be given the name by which it has been known for generations generations Washington (Wash). Soper's parents were United Empire Loyalists Who built the mill on the Soper Creek east of Bowman ville. Then Washington came to Kendal and built a saw and shingle mill east of the village on the big creek. They needed a road to get the lumber l St. Saviour's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Sunday Service and Church School .. 9:30 a.m. ORONO PASTORAL CHARGE !. Minister: Rev.
