All members are asked to take an item for the Hospital Spring Fair. ) Next Sunday is Mothers Day or Family Day at church. At least 3 children will be baptized at 'Grace' Church so attendance should rise again. After the big storm it dropped but has increased each sunday since. On Sunday Rev. Pogue chose a subject which he has had much experience 'Know- ledge'. It was introduced Minimum wage $2.40 The new minimum wage of $2.40 an hour for employees in general industry became effective throughout Ontario May 1. The rate for con- struction workers also rises, to $2.65 an hour. This increase was announ- ced by Labour Minister John P. MacBeth on January 22nd. He said the revision . was "necessary to keep pace with the increased cost of living". A detailed break- down of the new rates is attached. From today, agricultural workers engaged in the har- vesting of fruit, field vege- tables and tobacco are elig- ible for minimum wage, vacation pay and holidays with pay for the first time. The purpose of minimum wage is to give workers whose bargaining power is limited a measure of protect- ion against exploitation. Mr. MacBeth keeps the rate con- tinually under review and if circumstances justify it, he may be recommending further increases in mini- mum wage.

The answer is 'everything' through the childrens quiz and explanation of 1.Q. which means Intelligence Quotient. It was started in France in 1904 by Dr. Bene. As a school system had just been formed, he thought it was necessary to find differ- ent levels of understanding. These are tests that are still used today to help adminis- trators place employees in suitable work. It includes the ability to read, reason, think and do mathematics. Some feel that there should be a character quotient test too. It has been found that the prisons have many clever people who are wasting away their lives. Many clever people are lost to drugs, alchohol or a desire for dangerous adventure. There have been two quot- ations - "Knowledge is power" and 'Knowledge is true love". The first is true for our place in the world. The second is true in our respect for God. There is a knowledge of stored facts, an intuitive knowledge of the emotions, an unconscious knowledge that comes out in dreams or at times of a crisis and a knowledge in skills. But the quality is more im- portant than the quantity. We have our 44 names for people who will fill the bus to Peterborough on May 25. If for any reason you have to cancel, please let us know as there may be others who would like to go.
