Trustees with The Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education last night approved a late bus run three evenings a week on an experimental basis for students at the school for the second second semester which began 1 February 1989.

New programs for young asthmatics Bill Lake of Newcastle had an interesting interesting story to tell of his collection collection of native artifacts as Stan Powell was to learn. Stan also had a display of old post cards dating back many years. Bill Lake pointed out that one of the greatest areas for finding native lisp Jjjt artifacts was in the area of the Orono Estates. He said prior to the development it was possible to see the location of fire pits along the small creek after ploughing: He had on display many pieces picked up in the area including parts of pipes, pottery, and gaming stones. , Bill stated that the Indians were great gamblers and they used the smooth round stones for gambling. He said his number of gaming stones were all found in the same small area. Kendal News (Continued from page 2) Can man save this fragile earth?

Silent Casualities by Willian and Jeannette Raynsford The concluding paragraphs of the book. The stories told are representative of those of many other ex-wards. Although they frequently tell Of hardships, caused in most cases by unscrupulous people into whose hands they were delivered, yet almost without exception, they acknowledge with gratitude the good work done by the 'Soldiers' Aid's Children's Services. Many "children" have had no idea of the scope of the work done by the Commission, while one, who had been adopted at an early age was dvheli'eil when she hcaul recently. for the first time since her adoption, the name of the 'Soldiers' Aid Commission. It was of course but one of numerous agencies and organizations organizations that endeavoured to keep the faith with those who had been willing, willing, if need be, to lay down their lives for their country. We remember with pride and gratitude those who served. As well, others, who cared for the men, women and children who Were casualties of a brutal war. whether on a field of battle or in the desperate years that followed, deserve a proud place in the history of Ontario. Let me (your writer) state that as the depression grew worse in the 'Thirties' something had to be done, farmers were unable to pay their taxes. Butter was fifteen cents a pound, eggs were three dozen for twenty-five cents in Kendal Store in 1934, Bill Mercer was taking the two organized boys and girls classes to a park in Oshawa for a picnic. Each one was to pay 25 cents. One of the girls took three dozen eggs to Kendal store and received * her 25 cents for the trip in the truck. Farmers were losing their farms that had been in the family for generations. So in desperation "The United Farmers of Ontario" became a political party (U.F.O.) and was voted into power with a young Onion farmer, Mitchell Hepburn Hepburn as it's leader. He promised to reduce taxes. "His cabinet would not be riding around in Buick cars." So one of his first acts was to hold an auction sale of all the farmer member's cars. When I went to teach in Wellington County my secretary came to meet me in a beautiful Buick. He said, "You'll wonder how 1 can afford a Buick." "Well 1 bought this for very little at Hepburn's Auction Sale." Then the Hepburn government closed government supported boarding boarding schools like Bon Air run by the Soldiers' Aid Commission. That certainly would save money for the tax payers and might have worked well if fine teachers like Mr. Keenan had been chosen to screen the farm homes selected, and act as a social workers but political favourites like Mr. Sharp with no qualifications whatsoever had lo be rewarded. 1 called on a former trustee. | asked "How are things going?" He replied, "We've had a bad burn. A loin veat burn, Hepburn." Hepburn Hepburn was . unable, to cope with the wine-ing and the dine-ing that takes place in political circles. We often read, "Hepburn has gone to Florida for his health," in the papers of the middle 'Thirties'.
