For We wish to extend deep- gesome it was out in nature, for est sympathy to Mrs. C. Thompson and her husband (who live in Norman Tripp's former house) in the recent bereavement of her mother. At "Grace" Sunday we were very pleased to have Bob Cawker with his violin and Geo. Freeman with his guitar contribute musical numbers to the Service. We plan to ask the welcoming couple at the door each Sunday to procure some musical part for their Sunday. It does not have to be local talent. So please plan ahead. If it is outside talent, it should be men- tioned in the paper. We were sorry to hear Rev. Pogue report that Rev. Wylie has had a relapse with his phebitis and will not be able to resume his duties before March. We also have another pro- blem in the Sunday School which is discouraging to the children who wish to come. There is lots of willing help for juniors and interme- diates but people hesitate when it comes to a senior class 13 years and up. Therefore, it will be nec- essary to ask the senior class to stay in the church service until' further notice. Each teacher takes a class for a month at a time so per- ~ haps someone will volun- teer thier service for this age group. We know leaders are hard to find but there surely are qualified people who would gain much from this service to our future citizens. To the adults, Rev. Pogue took his sermon from his research in the words of a famous minister, 'Where does worship begin?" Thus we consider how man is above the highest order of animals. No other animal worships. From earliest times man asked, "Why?" and wanted an explanation. Out of this he worshipped something but what is work ship? It is man's move- church on Yourown tax shelter.

Many of us need to be shaken up to realize there shortcomings in our lives and there are things that must be done. The question arises every- where "Why was 1 born?" Have we found a rational answer?

Regional Councillor Reg Rose of Scugog and Mayor Carl Puterbough of Uxbridge are among the five members of Durham Region's Social Services Committee, and as committee members are fre- quently in the middle of some of the region's more controversial debates. © At the January 23 meeting of council, for example, they became involved in contro- versies regarding the hiring of additional staff for the region's five day nurseries, and regarding whether or not Social Services Commis- sioner Doug Johns should be allowed to remain as a member of an Ontario Go- vernment task force on so- cial services. EXTRA TEACHERS HIRED. The first controversy de- veloped when the committee presented its recommen- dation that an additional teacher be hired for each of the five day nurseries.

The Province pays 80 per cent of teachers salaries for day nurseries. RECOMMENDATION ADOPTED The Committee's recom- mendgfion was adopted, but not without an unsuccessful attempt by Whitby Mayor Des Newman to either delay or altogether do away with the extra employees. Mayor Newman first moved that no more teachers be hired. He argued that public schools have a much larger child-teacher ratio than day nurseries already operate with, and therefore no additional staff is re- quired. However, Reg Rose point- ed out that the centres, which are open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., operate much longer hours than schools, and enough staff is at all PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Feb. 6th, 1974-9 required to organize shifts. "Do we want to run a good day care service, or do we just want to provide babysit- ting," wondered Oshawa Mayor James Potticary, a member of the Social Ser- vices Committee. NEWMAN TRIES AGAIN When his attempt to limit teaching staff 'was voted down, Mayor Newman, pre- sented another motion to send the recommendatjon back to the committee for further consideration. This, said Uxbridge Mayor Puterbough, would have been a waste of time. "I can't imagine the committee changing its mind," said Mr. Puterbough. The extra teachers will be hired. SECOND CONTROVERSY Having settled the staff situation the committee then recommended that council approve the membership of Social Services Commission- er Johns on the Provincial Task Force studying Long d Scugog Island Scugog-Uxbridge on Social Services Committee Term Care for senor citi 'zens.

Mr. Johns told council that because of much of the start- up work the department is doing in its newly-acquired responsibility for the region, many of the employees who've been working over- time this month are "physi- cally and emotionally drained."
