They are indeed very well known to the people of this area and we all wish to extend congratu- lations. ; It was a busy week end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Prentice when many people called to see the interesting procedure in the making of maple syrup and partake of fresh pan- cakes with the sweet and tasty product. It was too bad weather slowed down the workings of nature. There are 2 events at "Grace" Church this week. Friday night parents and other interested people who have already purchased tickets will enjoy a variety. musical concert produced by members of - the Jr. choir, their leaders and other local talent. Then on Sunday, many young people of the Island with some children are looking for- informal hot ward to an luncheon with other young people from Scugog, espei- ally those who have recently moved in. Now that.., Spriig* Is approaching and. our thoughts turn to flowers and plants, Rev. Pogue had a very timely talk for the children in reference to bio- logy and flowers that are 'cousins, an example being "the beautiful rose with apple blossoms and rasp- berry blossoms. In the bulb class it is known that tulips are cousins of the onion. So it is with people. There are 7 different groups with many differences yet. All are human beings and all have their place and function. With the adults Rev. Pogue continued a study through sin and guilt to evil. -- The latter had a great deal of depth and had required much research to locate its beginnings and attitudes of various people's religions and individual opinions. So often we question God's reason . for allowing catas- trophies, war and suffering. The answers are vague and unsatisfying. But after a depth of study we realize God created a world that was good. God gives us freedom to choose. Then evil rests in the way man disobeys God's laws which are still at work. Many times our own children suf- fer because they have free- dom to make their own choices. Parents may warn and teach but children are finally on their own. Last Thursday Mr. and Mrs. John Pearce and family travelled to Hali- burton to visiti Mr. and Mrs. Paul Espie (Geraldine Barry) who are now lving north and doing quite well. The Head U.C.W. will be held the second Wednesday of April on account of the annual Presby meeting.

The Al- tona and Atha centres -- in Pickering -- will have to be moved if the new airport goes in. At Lemonville, children in the community raised $5,000 to buy the school when it was closed. Mr. Latcham heard about it, went out and paid $19,000 for the building and told them to use their $5,000 'to change the plumbing." Even his philanthropy has the Midas touch. He laid out $100,000 to buy 50 acres for Participation House, a centre for crippled children at Markham. They only needed five acres and what's left over is worth about $1 million now. Right now, the people of Claremont are trying to get Pickering council to build an indoor arena there, using a $75,000 gift from Mr. Latcham as a start. He sent the cheque so 'they could build an outdoor artificial ice arena but costs of opera- tion would be more than debenture payments on an arena. Someone in Coboconk heard about him when that community wanted to in- stall an ice-machine in their arena. He sent $10,000 and plant out of the old Granite Club and will undoubtedly get their wish. . As he talks, he fingers a 'letter he has just received ° United | church asking for financial from Melville help to buy a new organ. He'll probably help. "We don't need the money," he explains. . Now he has a charitable founda- tion to handle such gifts and he estimates that his philan- thropy to date has cost him upwards of a half million. But what he really wants to do is magic. His show, tonight in Lemonville is a sample of what he has in mind. He's good at i* ad probably could have made a fortune as a professional magician. One finger of his left hand is stiff from a construction accident, so he perfected a one-handed shuffle with his right hand . . .he cuts the® deck and shuffles with one hand. Try it sometime. He also does coin tricks, like move them from one hand to the other, seemingly up a sleeve. But that's not unusual. He's always been good with money. By Lloyd Robertson.
