Forrester, Editor Kids having a riot Last week we had the opportunit to visist the Pines Senior Public School at noon hour and the kids were having a riot with a number of ingenious games as throwing rolls of bundled toilet paper through a toilet seat, shaving lather off a, balloon without breaking it, water pistols spirting water into a pumpkin to put out a candle and others. Everyone was having a ball and thoroughly enjoying it as well. To top it off it was for a good cause the United Way but most of all it was the spirit of the kids and the ingenuity of their created games. The nuts and bolts of education This week we picked up a news release from the Board of Education with highlights of a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees. It goes like this:- -the values, influences and peers program ready to move into the Cobourg schools, -expanded music programs in elementary schools for grades 7 and 8. -an appeal support for the Lord's Prayer, -board policy on head lice. -crisis intervention support team for staff and students to deal with death and dying. Possibly all worthwhile projects in their place but for those trustees that may sit on the board concerned over the quality of education it must be somewhat of a disappointment* disappointment* and a waste of time being a member. Denies Wilmot Creek amendment The Town's general purpose commitee on Monday denied an application for rezoning submitted by Wilmot Creek which would permit Wilmot Creek development to expand expand their density from seven units to 7.75 units in their proposed proposed stage 6 of the development. Council members heard a number of delegations complaining complaining as to Wilmot Creek services and facilities. Many asked asked that the application be denied until commitments had been met by the developer. There was also the matter of the Lovekin problem which a number of councillors'wanted to see corrected before any new changes were made..

Hallowe'en Walk The pumpkin pattih on Hallowe'en is eerie to behold; You can hear the field mice scurrying Midst leaves of brown and gold... While in the tall oak watching, 'Neath the yellow harvest nioon, - A great horned owl gives out a hoot A truly frightening tune! The echo of your footsteps On the newly frosted ground Makes you hurry just a little, For it's such an awesome sound! Yes, it makes your heart beat faster . When that old owl hollers, "Who?" But not as fast it would beat If someone hollered, "Boo!" Rosetta Kelley Beverly Hills, Florida Sunday morning was a beautiful Indian Summer day.

The scripture reading was John 4:1-5; 39-42 and John 18: 28-40. The sermon by, Rev. Dr. Norman MacKenzie was entitled, "No Second Second Hand Faith." He told us about a man who went to a second hand car dealer to buy a car. The car salesman said, "This car was owned by a little old lady who used to drive to church on Sunday Sunday and an occasional meeting during during the week. So he drove it home and looked it all over, under the front seat he found a whiskey bottle. bottle. He went back to the dealer and asked, "How come, liquor in a bottle bottle under the seat?" Rev. Mr. MacKenzie said, "I am wearing a second hand overcoat this morning. It fits perfectly and has given me good service." Most of us began life with a second second hand religion because we grew up in a Christian family. Our pioneer ancestors built their log houses and then they all worked together to build this church. It is our heritage as Paul said, "I am a debtor both to the Greeks and the Barbarians. Rom 1-14. But the time comes when we must have a faith of our own. Jesus said to his disciples, "Whom do men say that I am?" Then, "But whom do you say that 1 am?" Peter answered, "Thou art the Christ. The son of the living God." We must have a faith of our own. The Samaritans said to the woman at the well, "Now we believe not because of thy sayings, but because we have heard him ourselves and know this is indeed the Christ." Mrs. Cheryl Reid sang beautifully: "He Touched Me" accompanied accompanied by Mrs. Helen Wood. A social hour followed the service. service.

Then Mrs. Eleanor Terrill gave her topic. She bégan with the poem' Hallowe'en Walk. Then her topic was "Food banks" Let's Share the Harvest. No one should go hungry in this land of plenty. Food banks make sure no one does. In the spring of 1986 the potato farmers in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick were facing a continent wide crop surplus. Potato prices were falling to a fifth of the cost of production, and the federal and provincial governments agreed to,take the excess off the market. This meant that the farmers would have to dump their crops. Then a request came to the New Brunswick Potato Agency for donations of potatoes to ■ a food bank in Chatham, N.B. _ The request couldn't'have come at a better time.
