TR AR, pion Mrs. Fisher's 90th birthday Happy time at Fairview Lodge Ashburn Area News by Mrs. E. Heron A happy time was spent at Fairview Lodge last Saturday afternoon when about 55, family, friends gathered to hon- our Mrs. Myrtle Fisher on her 90th birthday. Rev. McEntyre was there and gave a beauti- ful prayer to begin proceedings. Debbie Batten.sang a song for her great grandmother, and son, Alfred and daughter, Catherine sang a tribute to their mother in' harmony which Catherine had composed. Mrs. Fisher explained and recited from mem- ory a beautiful and meaningful poem called ""'Sunset". The main Candidates debate controversial topic (From page 8) should ensure that any waste, duplication or in- efficiencies in Provincial health services are reduced, and keep up the Federal percentage of Federal support to the level it was when the scheme was first in- troduced. I do not believe there should be either "extra billing" or "user fees." 10. Darce Campbell: Our present social safe- ty net is the envy of the free world and this Liberal heritage can not be compromised. A strong federal govern- ment must address the extra billing problem to the benefit of all Canad- ians through consulta- tion within a co-opera- tive provincial frame- work. I am not in favour of health care user fees. 10. Roy Grierson: Universality should be maintained. Provinces that extra-bill and charge user fees should have to pay escalating penalties. 11. What is your defini- tion of pornography? Are current federal statutes adequate? If not, what changes should be made? 11. Darce Campbell: Pornography to me is any form of immoral presentation whether by print, film, radio or advertisement that would pollute the minds of my children. I will support any form of tougher legislation to prohibit such pollution. 11. Roy Grierson: Por- nography is material that uses violence or ridicule that is abusive or degrading to human be- ings, women, children and men. Pornographic material should be regarded as hate literature and legislation should be revised to clearly indicate this. 11. Allan Lawrence: Pornography definitions should be changed to in- clude both sexual obscenities and graphic descriptions of excessive physical violence. Ob- viously, I do not believe present statutes are ade- quate and as Justic critic for the Progressive Con- servative Party, I have been attempting, and will continue to work to change them, so that this ugly trade can be stamped out. 12. The quality of water in Lake Scugog is of 'great concern to most residents of this municipality, namely the extraordinary growth of aquatic weeds. What would you do to tackle this problem? 12. Roy Grierson: We have a spray program that should be continued as long as it is en- vironmentally safe. 12. Allan Lawrence: I have already set in mo- tion a plan which will en- tail the co-operation and co-ordination of the local Conservation Authority, the municipality, the Provincial Govern- mentn, the Trent Water- way Authority and the Federal Department of the Environment, to find long-term answers to this increasingly worsening problem and aquatic weeds in Lake Scugog and some of our other lakes. I have been most -- disappointed on asking our Federal Government marine biologists for their answer to the pro- blem, only to be told that they have none. I am determined to get a research programme moving immediately so that we can get some ex- pert answers, as it is ap- parent that cutting or '"mowing" the weeds causes more problems than it solves, and the present spraying techni- qus are prohibitively ex- pensive and may cause residual long-term pro- blems with water quality and fish life. 12. Darce Campbell: During my recent canvas of Scugog Island and Port Perry 1 suggested that we should first approach the finest marine bio- logy research universi- ties on this continent to determine the best method of attacking this problem. Then, in an open public manner, take whatever long range steps, (ie 3 to 5 years if required) to eradicate the problem, even if it meant a complete fish stocking programme following such measures. thought was how we influence our families, friends and aquaintan- ces by our lives and that in turn are passed on from them to others. We are sure Mrs. Fisher's Christian character has influenc- ed many through the years, especially those she taught in her Sun- day School class for years in Burns Church. Mrs. Fisher formerly Myrtle Parker came to Ashburn when she taught school at Chalk Lake. After two years she married Gordon Fisher and they settled on the farm just east of the village. There they raised three children, Margaret, Alfred and Catherine. Mrs. Fisher is a member of Burns Church and was active in all branches of the ~ church for many years. And even when she went to Fairview Lodge, she went with the idea of helping others who were less fortunate than she was, which she did. Among the guests to bring special greetings were Scott Fennell, M.P. and councillors " Ross Batten and Joe Drumm. A lovely lunch was served to the guests by Nellie Hopkins, Ray Death, Margaret Davis and Ray Death. We all wish Myrtle Fisher many happy days ahead. It was nice to see some of our people who have been away back at -Burns Church last Sun- day morning. Rev. McEntyre's message was "When Faith Falters" taken from Phil:4 which was read by Barbara Hump- hrey and the responsive Psalm was read by Lindsay Death. A lovely solo titled "We are God's People' was sung by Rev. McEntyre. Miss Judy Reid of Toronto was a guest with the Ashton family over the weekend. Misses Jodi and Susie Death of Kingston spent a week holidaying with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Death. Fred and Lois Daw enjoyed a trip to the Maritimes, while there they attended a 'Down- ing' family reunion, also visited friends and relatives. One visit they enjoyed was with Mrs. Mildred Buntain, our former minister's wife who is now living in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mitchell of Deep River visited recently with Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Fisher and other rela- tives in the area. Ted and Rose Heron were glad to welcome their family, Doris and Bill, Karen and Linda McAndless back to their home in Don Mills last Saturday after they spent a month in Germ- any and especially happy to see Linda as she has been an ex- change student there for 5 months. Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Humphrey, Barbara Douglas and Chris visit- ed with John and Gail Kozyriackyk of Peter- borough where they "enjoyed a church young people's corn roast together. James and Mathew Ibbott of Oshawa spent three days last weék with their grandpar- ents, John and Betty Cincurak, while their mother was in the hospital. Their parents, Chris and Jane Ibbott, have a baby girl named Elizabeth. A sister for the boys. We welcome Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Budd back home after an enjoyable holiday in Hawaii.
