Forrester. Editor A new perspective The Province of Ontario has now joined in the battle to do something with the mounting millions of tonnes of garbage garbage created annually by the growing population in the Metro area including regional municipalities within that area. What new perspective this may give is yet to crystalize, if in fact it does. A meeting with the various regional municipalities and Metro along with the province has been called for early in February with the subject garbage. There is no easy answer nor is there any easy course of action to be followed towards the development of garbage disposal. All the same issues will be present. Certainly the Region of Durham has made little progress progress in their individual problem and this would include Metro Toronto and likely other areas to perhaps a lesser degree. One can only hope that something comes out of the rally when the chairmen and one member of staff from each centre meet early in February. The province, in their sojourn to handle liquid waste are still sometime away from operation and this particular scheme was started way back when the Conservatives were in power. To have the cake and eat it too The Toronto Star had an editorial lately relating to the fact that two teachers' federations or unions as one might call them, representing teachers of the elementary school system. One for men and one for women. Certainly it is a ridiculous situation but according to the article is one which is not likely to correct itself in the near future. This has also been brought out in a recent television discussion. Of course the womens' federation or union has a strong base and a considerable larger membership counting in the tens of thousands. As to membership they overwhelm the membership of the mens' federation. Apparently the women are not about to give up this advantage they hold in bargaining or in other areas nor do they warm up to any form of amalgamation. They hold the upper hand and wish to hang on to this power. The issue reminds us that over the past few years one of the popular schemes, has been, the development of Affirmative Affirmative Action. Our local school board joined the band wagon and has hired a full-time employee to assist the advancement of women in the school system for which the taxpayer digs deeper into his or her pocket. Affirmative Action should be for everyone and the Womens' Teachers' Federation has brought top attention of the need. And what about the level playing field they talk about in Free Trade. ILLEGAL PARKING BECOMING COSTLY Parking fines and other similar violations for which charges are. laid have increased all across the province as well as in the Town of Newcastle. ' A former charge of $5.00 for parking longer than the two hour period in any Orono Parking space is now set at $15.00 with similar charges for being parked longer than three hours in other sectors sectors of the municipality. The fifteen dollar charge also holds for parking too close to a fire hydro and within one metre of a private drive. A $20.00 charge is now levied for being double parked and for stopping in a prohibited area. „ Be aware that it now costs more to violate the traffic parking regulations.

Carried. Our ladies Sunday is May 7th. A speaker was discussed. Then Mrs. A Cathcart told the story of the life of John Newton. TÎ\e man who wrote Amazing Grace. Onp of the most popular hymn-songs today is 'Amazing Grace.' John Newton was born in London London in 1725. His mother, a devout Christian, died when he was seven, which was a devastating blow, and his father a sea captain, was often away. John was sent to a boarding school, but he hated it and became a rebellious child. At the age of eleven, he went to sea as an apprentice apprentice on his father's ship and every day drifted further from his mother's religious influence. Things went from bad to worse. Although John was an expert sailor, his father apprenticed him to a merchant in Spain, but he was sent home for bad behaviour. Later when he was serving on H.M.S. Harwich he was put in charge of a boat when the ship was stormbound stormbound off Plymouth. However, although he was given the job of seeing the crew did not desert, he himself did so, for which he was arrested put in irons and flogged. For his misdeeds he was transferred transferred to a ship engaged in the slave trade. During the voyage he behaved behaved disgracefully. Later in Sierra Leone he worked for a slave dealer who treated him so harshly that John Newton became desperately ill. He knew now that his life had reached the depths of rottenness and despair. Then came the turning point. On the voyage home to England he began reading, "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas a Kempts a book about the spiritual life and warnings of God's judgement. After a storm tossed Atlantic crossing John Newton arrived in Liverpool. The weather was bad but he walked along the shore in the rain and wind. It became dark. He saw a church lit up for the evening service. service. He went in and sat in a pew. It was time for the service to begin but no one had come but this bedraggled bedraggled sea-man. Should the curate go ahead with a service? He decided to do so. He invited John Newton to join with him in the hymn singing. The hymns were the ones his mother had sung when he was a boy. He underwent a religious conversion. conversion. In time his mother's prayers were answered. - he was ordained and at thirty-nine appointed curate of Olney in Buckinghamshire. With Wm. Wilberforce he pioneered the abolition of the slave trade on British ships. He was a fervent preacher and devoted pastor. He wrote a number of well • known hymns 5 are written in our new hymn book. The meeting closed with Hymn 116, "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds." Next meeting at the home of Mrs. P. Frank on February the 1 first. Silent Casualties by William and Jeanette Raynsford. Billy R's Story (continued) ' By the next ; spring, Mr. Jamieson Sr., had retired from farming farming and his son had entered local politics and had discovered the beer parlours. As a result, I was doing most of the farm work. During the Depression there were a lot of bootleggers in this area. 1 began to notice that Mrs. Jamieson Sr., would have a visit.every Sunday morning at ten o'clock sharp from a son who worked for the railroad. She would be seated, as usual, in her rocking chair in the main part of the house, and her son would present her with a bottle of "Pon- typool Special" bought from the bootlegger. The old lady's chair was also a commode and she would hide the bottle inside, along with her corn cob pipe and tobacco. Beside the chair was the big family Bible which she would appear to be reading. As long as I did my work, nobody bothered me * at this time and I was content to leave the family family alone. There were two families living in this household, but they didn't get along. I tried to help Ethel as much as possible, doing the churning every Thursday and scrubbing scrubbing the big bare hardwood floors and helping with the heavy washing on the scrubbing board. In June since I was in the Entrance Entrance Class I had (o try the Provincial Provincial examinations, which were given in those days. They were very hard and the teacher and students worked worked hard to prepare for them. Arriving for a visit the woman asked her small granddaughter, "Susan, how do you like your new baby brother?" "OI(, he's all right," the child shrugged, "But there's a lot of things we needed worse." When his daughter came home sporting an engagement ring, the father showed great interest in her intended. "Does he h'ave any money?" the father asked- "You men are all the same," said the newly engaged. "That is the ' first question he asked about you." Those of you who know Betty Tansley of Cameron will* be interested interested to hear that Michael came frbm London to visit the family for three weeks at Christmas. The day after he left Betty turned over on her ankle and broke a bone in her foot, so it is now in a cast: On Sunday morning, January 8th, the Sacrament of Baptism was received by Adam Robert Wood, son of Donald arid Tracy Wood of Kendal. • Kendal's Annual Congregational meeting will be January 22nd.
