Three judges for the Weston Times municipal coloring contest stated that making the decisions was very difficult as many of the entries were "remarkably well done". Judge Larry Wilson recalled that when he was six he didn't know how to color the side bf a house let alone the detailed Christmas scenes that four to six year olds had submitted. Judge Jacqueline Perrin, a York university co-ed, added that many of the contestants showed remarkable imagination and talent. "I wonder if any of, them will be professional artists when they grow a little older?" she commented. POINTSTO PONDER Every time that I see Cape Wolstenholme on a map of Hudson Bay I feel indignant at the treatment given Habakkuk Pritchard by his employer Lord Wolstenholme. Despite Mabakkuk's aversion to the sea and the fact that he was his widowed mother's sole means of support he was ordered by his employer to sail with Henry Hudson on that fateful voyage. Evidently Lord Wolstenholme considered position and money sufficient reason for meddling with his empoyee's private life. Judges Larry Wilson, CHUM radio news announcer; Jacquie Perrin, Miss Argonaut 1968-69 and Weston haberdasher Ken Johns study entries submitted in the Municipal Christmas Coloring Contest. Winners who would like their pictures to appear in this newspaper are asked to report to Weston Times' photographer Alf Bullen, 2159 Weston Rd. (at Church St.) 4:15 pm. Friday, January 10.

No. 3, Elnwale The third coloring contest judge, Ken Johns, speculated that those who colored over the lines were non-conformists who will be the future protest marchers while those who stayed within the lines will more or less conform in society.

Leonard hardly-dry behind the ears, rebelling against the addition of a few extra school days. And aiding all this, is the misconceived idea abroad that discipline is old fashioned, out moded, needing to be supplanted in this age of intelligence by more advanced methods. According to the word of God we are living in the days of the Anti-Christ, the Lawless One. But lest we sound too negative there is no need for the Christian to acquiesce, to shrug our shoulders in a 'what can We do' attitude. Evil is never inevitable to the Christian. This attitude overlooks the power of the Living God which is just the same today as it was in the days of the early church. The !word of God tells us that the 'eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him.'
