2-fïrono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 19, 1989 No Where to Hide There is no where to hide from the deluge of tax increases increases that will come down upon taxpayers this month and next month. Taxpayers are to be hit at all levels of government government and from every other corner where services are provided. provided. And unfortunately we are locked into most of the increases increases whether it be Bell Canada chiselling away with extended extended calling areas, Cable TV expanding a service or at the various levels of government supporting a 911 emergency call service. It continues to drive a deeper wedge between those than have and those who do not and especially those who live in or near poverty. The bread lines continue to grow to the point that even those willing to contribute find it difficult to provide the needed commodities for a bare existance. Housing is not something that everyone can now afford and hordes of peoplelack through proper shelter and food. A recent article noted that some 80,000 Canadian corporations corporations pay little or no tax at a loss of $27 billion to the federal coffers, an amount that would almost eliminate the federal deficit. One questions sometimes if there is justice and if all are treated on an equal basis. The volunteers in the great scope of agencies that have broken forth over,the past years seem to bring some hope but just how far can they go and for how long. It's tiring and there is little hope at the end of the tunnel. Bigger has not shown that it is better and one might judge the Regional system of government as an indication. Are those in the Region better off socially, physically and mentally than those in neighbouring municipalities as close as Port Hope, Cobourg, Hope Township? Bigger has really not been better. There's got to be a better way At a total price of $1.867 million to collect and dispose of garbage iti Newcastle there just has to be a better way. It really amounts to an annual charge of over $48.00 for every man, woman and child. We have a duplicated system of picking up garbage with one truck to be followed by a second to pick up recylable items. It can only be expensive as the $48.00 proves. It really is a simple process of getting what results as garbage into the house. It's no great chore through a trip to the market, loading the car and then ultimately unloading the vehicle at the door step. Certainly we reduce the quantity through consumption but become stymied to know what to do with the left-overs. We coulcH suggest that it could be carried out easier than when carried in and then through some form of proper recepticle disposed of at a central point for a less costly process process of pick-up. Of course in the meantime the garbage is separated into its proper lots with tins with tins etc. When you think of it the milkman quite delivering to the door as did the baker, the doctor rules out home calls and even the grocery qelivery is something back years ago. Why do we figure that t|he garbage must be pickedup at the curb- side? There arc a lot of ways to handle garbage through composting, standard containers, purchasing of certain poducts and what nht. The list can go on and on. It's time somaone built a better mousetrap and it wont be BFI or Laidlaw. '. Water an important commodity The Region of Durham recently submitted a rural planning policy statement which in effçct suggests placing restraint on estate residential development. It is proposed that rural development be shunted towards the hamlet areas as a means of accepting development development where services can be provided to a degree much more readily and at a lesser cost, that in pure rural areas. . The suggested' direction' seems to be hitting a nerve with the Town of Newcastle council as seen through a number of discussions and action by this particular elected group. But the two most recent hamlet plans. Hampton and Orono, rûn up against a dry wall as far as water supply is concerned concerned for home u^e. : '■ " Certainly neither the Town or the Region want to develop other centres as Cherrywood and Newtonville and Brooklin where millions of dollars will have to be spent at some time to correct a failing and undrinkable water supply. A safe supply of water is not as readily available as one might consider and the planning director for the Town at Monday's meeting stated it could be a number of years before a decision can safely be made for extended growth in Hampton. Hampton. The Orono situation is not a whole lot better. It appears appears that wells do run out of supply and the sodium content is not always predictable as being within allowable levels. Water becomes all' important in those areas ndt that close to Lake Ontario where it can be pumped in the thousands upon thousands of gallons even though it must be well polluted in the first instance. One could well ask the question, "How much water can be pumped from wells and continue to supply the needs of even a greater population?" Is it really unlimited? Kemlal "Visiting" is ; lhe title of this,. English poem: Our stately hontes 1 much admire. Such treasures they contain. That just one visit can t suffice So ! return again To view the antique furniture And crystal chandelier, Ancestral portraits in the hall, Great paintings by Vermeer; A music room of white and gold, With lute and harpsicord That conjure up a time long passed When lady danced with Lord... Quite soon it's time to leave once more And though it's been so fine, I'm glad my cottage waits for me, With treasures that are mine. We had a most enjoyable service at Kendal on Sunday, April the 16th with two special speakers on behalf of the Gideon Society. They were Marvin Colvin, and Ben Terlecki and special music by Wyman Whalen. Mr. Marvin Colvin is especially welcomed by the people of Kendal because he often took the service when Rev. Aubrey Tizzard was unable to carry on after his stroke. The choir sang a new hymn from their new book. entitled "Pass it on." Then Mr. Wyman Whalen played on his guitar and sang for the children. "I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me." Then he had the little children sing it with him. I expect some of them are still singing, "Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me." Later in the service he played and sang for the adults after the children had gone to their classes. He sang, "I am going where the roses never-fade." Mr. Ben Terlecki brought the message. He began his talk with a fine illustration of a young man without any talent studying for thé ministry. It recalled to my mind the story of a young man without much ability who himmed and hawed and repeated himself till one old lady was weary listening. When she reached the door she said, "Whatever made you think ' of training for the ministry?" He replied, "I was out in the- field cultivating and suddenly, 'You know' all the clouds came in a circle ■ together and formed the two big letter letter sin the sky "P.C." i took it to mean "Preach Christ." The old woman said, "Are you sure it didn't mean, "Plant Corn." Mr. Ben Terlecki said if God hadn't given him, 'the gift of Preaching', He hoped that god would give us, 'the gift of listening.' However he was a most gifted speaker with a fine carrying voice. He told us that the Gideon Society printed one million copies of the word of God everyday and sent it to the neediest country of the world. That is to whatever part of the world that they felt needed it the most. The Gideons provide Bibles for each school child. The Gideon place a Bible in each hotel room. And most of us know that a hotel room can be the lonliest place in the world. The Gideons give a Gideon Bible to each member of the armed forces. Even I was presented with a Gideon Bible when I was a member of-the Royal Canadian Air Force. 1 would still have it only it was lost in Arthur's fire. Mr. Terlecki told of several men whose life and future course was changed by reading a Gideon Bible. There are men who belong to the Gideon Society in each town and village. Mr. Melville Jones is a member in Newtonville, Mr. Marvin Marvin Colvin is a member in Orono and of course many others, the sole aim of the Gideons is to provide money to print Bibles and to distribute them. The Gideon Socie ty would welcome your donations and use it in their wonderful work.

All men and women who have served in the armed forces or even played golf, know exactly what is meant when told, it's at one o'clock, which . means you should .look just very slightly to the right of where you're standing., Not long ago 1 learned of a new ■ use of the hands of the cjock when a friend from Australia made an , unexpected visit. We were talking of old acquaintances. "Tom Hughes", said my friend "Now there's a real six o'clock man for you!" - "Six o'clock?" ! asked. My friend explained. "Yes, like the hands of six o'clock, straight up and down. Dead straight*. That's Tom Hughes." "Jimmy", the teadher asked, "Can you tell the class the formula for water?" "H,I,J,K,L,M,N,0," he replied. "That's not what I taught you." But you said, "Jhe formula for water was "H to O". Sam was dying. His childreft m stood around waiting for his last words. Finally he said, "Kids, your mother and I have been married for more than fifty years and she cooks like an angel. Even now 1 smell a strudel baling. Sarah be good and go get me a piece." In a few minutes she came back, "Where's the strudel?" her father asked. "Mom says you can't have any. It's for the funeral tomorrow."
