Editor Kendal Korner Yearly Subscription $12.00 Rhone 983-5301 We the people It was Ab Lincoln in his Gettysburg address that coin : ed the phase "We the people ..." that is now a part of the Unted States Constitution. It was these words that came to mind with the déclaration of November 20th to November 26 as Recycling Week, It is 'we the people' that will make the difference difference it is 'we the people' that must make sure the environa- ment is protected by all means within our limits that neither us nor those that come after are not buried in our own garbage. garbage. Ab Lincoln full-well knew that people power was all- important that it is a collective movement that counts. It is still true today. It is 'We the people' that must become concerned . . . 'We the people' must become informed . . . and 'we the people' people' that must become involved. The most recent happenings in Europe is indication of the power of people where a new road to freedom with a better better style of life is about to blossom forth. A peaceful movement movement fired by desire, commitment and invlovement. The collective strength of 'we the people' can change governments. They can bend the industrialist to provide their environmentally friendly products ... no sale ... no protit and this is where we must become informed .... to know that the course is set properly and that, in fact, it is followed. By all means reduce using influence on the shopping trip, purchase for reuse and by all means recycle what waste " you generate. 'We the people' must become totally involved. It is our future and those of who we love so dear. Recreation in the forest Although the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority established a Forest Users' Committee with representation from all User groups a solution still seems far away. No doubt the final decision rests with the Authority itself and should not everyone by any stretch of te imagination imagination is going to be satisfied. The Users' group seemed to be well on its way in making making what appears a sensible suggestion but the red herrings âre being dragged across their path, even by some of its membership. membership. Surely in all the lands available conflict should not exist exist to the degree that it appears. The commitment against all- terrain vehiciles is not going to go away but neither are the all- terrain vehicles. Nelson Gardiner, à member of the committee, although he states he would rule out some vehicles from the • forest, points out that out of the close to 11,000 acres only some quarter of an acre is devastated by all-terrain vehicles. His estimate, from what we have seen is somewhat accurate. Everyone time someone speaks of environmental destruction they point to specific areas and these same areas have been in that state for years as a result of use by all-terrain vehicles, Gardner does make a suggestion that the Authority sell lands close to private residences thus providing a bffer to these existing homes. Hardly a solution for when these lands came into private hands they also would contain residences and the new residents would finmd cause, possibly, to object. It's time the Authority gave a final ruling, put the issue to bed once and for all with no more studies. The Sunday Shopping Fiasco It was predicate that sooner or later Sunday Shopping would again become an issue to be dealt with even though the Province cammed the waters temporarily by pushing the issue onto the local municipalities. , One cannot condone the breaking of the law as the large chains have threatened and one week-end put a strangle hold on the law of the land Laws are made not to be broken but then all laws may not be equally fair to even one which may be the case with the legislation governing Sunday Shopping." Shopping." We expect the green keepers and the.snowmakers to be active on Sunday so we can join golf and ski on the day of rest and these are but a few of the activities requiring Sunday employment an issue with many over Sunday shopping. In the past and even now we open all forms of .businesses if in a tourist area and its amazing how many areas do become tourist areas that never were before. One, we feel, can question the fairness of the present law in this matter for many would find the same pleasure in shopping or browsing as one does on the golf course or ski hill. ■ The province did blunder in shifting the repsonsibility over the municipalities and we have yet to hear or sec the last of this issue. , There's something kind of queer about the man that always growls Because the sun bears down too hot, or else the north wind howls: He never eats a meal but what the soup isn't thick enough, The coffee hasn't been settled right or else the meat's loo iough. Poor fellow! -- he's only a victim Of Satan's oldest and meanest trick. And you'll find by watching mules and men, they.don't need brains to kick. 1 On Sunday morning November 19 the attendance was smaller than usual due to the extremely cold weather -3 or 26 F. with high wind and the Santa Claus Parades.

His wife Dorothy had pre-deceased him January 24, 1989. A memorial service service was to be held for him in Leaside United Church where he has been serving as assistant minister. Dr. Norman MacKenzie has been one of the great and good men of the present time. As Benjamin Franklin said, "A long life may be good enough but a good life is never long enough." A few years ago 1 had the pleasure of entertaining Dr. and Mrs. MacKenzie and his mother in my home. He thought it would be nice if his mother could meet , my aunt the widow of Dr. Bryon Bur- , wash of Saskatoon. When they met I remember my aunt said, "Yes, my husband was a doctor. They say a doctor's wife can be sick, for nothing, and a minister's Wife can be good, for nothing." Both Mrs. MacKenzie Senior and Dorothy were minister's wives of course. Dr. MacKenzie's mother said that she went out to China as a missionary missionary sent out by the Women's Missionary Society from up west of Hamilton. In China she met her husband to be, Rev.' MacKenzie from Nova Scotia. .They were married married in China and all their seven children were born in China and wonder of wonders they ail lived to be adults. Other missionaries usually usually lost a child or more because of the many diseases, wars, floods and etc. Her oldest daughter Florence (whom we have met in Kendal church) married the world famous runner Eric Liddell, who won the 1924 Paris Olympic race. The following year he travelled the Trans-Siberian Railway to China. There he ■ married Florence MacKenzie and served 19 years as a Missionary Teacher, with the London London Missionary Service. After the outbreak of War in 1941, Liddell sent his wife and two daughters to safety in Canada.' He himself was interned with 1800 other Christians where he died from malqutrition and cold in 1945.. Rev. Nqrman MacKenzie waÿ her second family member. He decided to remain in China to help the middle middle 'aged lady doctor vfith the language problem. She fell she was needed to tend the wounded soldiers. While Dorothy returned to Canada with the family. Dorothy MacKenzie said for three long years she never received any!word from Norman, no messages of any kind came out of China. After the war the MacKenzies served as missionaires in India and Canada. What a wonderful life of service. The. half of their hardships and sacrifices has never been told. The MacKenzies leave two daughters and a son. \ On November the , 16th it was drizzling rain and it was foggy. There were pools of water on the driveway it had rained a lot the night before. Then on Friday morning morning November 17th, it Was bitterly cold and windy. There was 17 degrees difference in the temperature than the day before.
