Rev. Robert Wright of the United Church in Welland told the crowd at the Ontario Anti Poverty Organization's **Day of Con- cern" in Toronto last Sunday. In an interview the next when he is hungry. A gospel message, the pastors said, is only good if it backed up by, "a little Christian kind- ness," so the church has a duty to see that the poor are not only taught the gospel, but to see that they are properly fed and clothed as well. Rev. Reg. Rose of Port Perry's Anglican Church of the Ascension also agreed that the church has an important role to play, but he warned against attempts to over simplify the issue. "When you are dealing with poverty," he said, 'the causes are so big and com- Sugar & Spice had a child, and we got more pleasure out of him than we would have from colour TV, a penthouse apartment and a Cadillac. We had a furnished flat in one of the grimmer sections of the city. Shared the - bathroom. Furniture was Salvation Army specials. But my wife redecorated the place, and it had two entrances and a backyard with real trees and grass. It cost $15 a week. Furnished. Today you can scarcely rent one room for that. We had a total income of about $130 a month. at covered rent, food, clothes, transportation. About once a month we'd have a real blowout. Baby-sitter (75 cents); movies (75 cents each); half a dozen cokes (36 cents) and a bag of peanuts (15 cents). Wow! That's living. We weren't bored, or desperate. We talked, read, studied, listened to the radio, gloated over our child. Holidays, I worked in the post office or in a factory, to pick up a few extra bucks. Smokes were roll-your-owns. It wasn't bad, but I used to get mighty sick of never having a dollar that didn't have a slot waiting to gulp it. I've never been sorry that my plans for post-graduate work and three or four more years of poverty went up in flames and I was tossed by accident into the hurly-burly of the newspaper business. Today's students work hard at dull summer jobs, save every nickel, get grants, but have to scrape on the edge of poverty and shabbiness. I pity them. day the co-pastors of Port Perry's Pentecostal Church, while acknowledging the church's responsibility to the poor, said that the real role of religion in this area involves presenting the gospel to the poor.

The rally was told that about two million people in Ontario live in conditions which have been described by the federal government as poverty, and all speakers agreed that the first step toward solving the problem was educating the general public to the fact that this much poverty exists. Ontario's Minister of Community and Social Services, the Hon. Rene Brunelle, complimented the Ontario Anti Poverty Organ- ization for its educational work in this regard. "0.A.P.0. has become a very important body in making the public aware of the seriousness of this problem,"" Mr. Brunelle said. The welfare minister ad- mitted that Ontario's system is inadequate and called for major reforms. He said his government is presently considering such reforms, but he warned, 'They will be expensive." He said that realistic sol- ution to the problem of poverty will not be possible without the co-operation and financial support of the fed- eral government.

Durham Town Protestors at Inauguration Will the real municipality of Durham please stand up? The new council for the Regional Municipality of Durham had just taken its oath of office, established rules of behaviour for council and adopted a cor- porate seal when three pro- testers from the Municipal- ity of Durham, population 3,000, in Grey County appeared in the hall with signs protesting, "the gov- ernment stole our name." Another sign read, "already we have mail ser- vice confusion." A spokes- man for the group explained that he checked with the post Office in the Town of Durham and found that there is already a big stack of mail there which has to 'be forwarded to the region of Durham. the protestors claimed that the existence of two Municipalities of Durham in the same pro- vince will create confusion in the post office and may result in delayed delivery. "We don't want our senior citizens to wait an extra week for their old age pension cheques," they said. The group said the Town of Durham was established in 1972 and that it was not even contacted and infor- med that we intended to take its name. "Why don't you change your name to Port Perry," asked Ed Koloski of the Oshawa Ratepayers Associ- ation, "We don't need it any more now that we have your name." No one at the inaugural meeting took the protest very seriously, and the politicians ignored it alto- gether. meeting in the C.C.P.S. Mr. Gordon Cooledge, Chair- - man, and Ms. J. Barton, Secretary, shall retain their present positions for another year. , This was decided by election. Mr. and Mrs. Art Rowan attended this meeting and 1 am quite certain that they, as were the other attending members, keenly disappoin- ted with the absence of the new volunteers. Of fifteen that signed up to assist with the Liaison Com. a mere five were in attendance. This type of disinterest shall certainly leave much to be desired and shall increase the work load of the members that are deter- mined to make the Cart- wright Liaison Committee one of which this community shall be proud. During the course of the meeting, the suggestion that the L.C. arrange to assist the High school , with the selecting of chaperones for future dances was discussed in full. Following a sugges- tion that a list of 'guide lines" for chaperones be drawn up, Mrs. Grieves and Mr. Paisley volunteered their services in this matter.. Places of interest to visit by the students were then 'discussed. Many of such places as well as people with . educational crafts are listed in a book referred to by Staff in Northumberland Durham. Cartwright Township has in it's midst many, many places of inte- ideas or suggestions per- taining to this matter, please contact Mrs. Adams at 986 - 5180. * The problems pertaining to the school busses was discussed in full. The need of a school addition was once again a topic of major importance. If any member of the Liaison -Committee has any suggestion to offer or wish to voice an opinion, on the above mentioned topics or any other pertain- ing to the welfare of our students, please attend these meetings that have been designated for this purpose. Mrs. J. Barton and Mr. G. Cooledge are more than willing to answer any quest- ion, or listen to any sugges- tion that you may have. Please feel at liberty to call upon them at any time. They of the Committee, to Mr. and Mrs. Art Rowan for so kindly "attending. I do not believe that Mr. Rowan has been absent from any L.A. meeting. This is the type of interest that is imperative to the advancement and success of any committee. They say that no news is good news . . this may be so, but it leaves much to be desired for my column.
