Words from West Lynde by Norm Mealing WelI, another week lias corne and gone,'and it is time once again to put pen to paper and draft this columnn. Wlien 1 started the colurnn in April of this year, 1 thouight, sornewliat niaively, that information would corne to my attention from the four corners of West Lynde. This lias not been the case, but, before somneone concludes that I arn about to launcli înt another complaint, let me assure you that 1 amn not terribly upset. Writing the colunmn is fun and, this fail especially, I have had ample opportunity to expound some of my views on* local issues. However, the namne of the colurnn is Words frorn West Lynde, and since words implies news, if you want something mentioned in, this space, let me know. A Minor Success (and liope for the future) On Wednesday last, I had occasion to talk with Bill Hoffman of assessment fame. Bill reported that lie had spoken to His Honour the Mayor and that Mr. Newman had indicated lie would speak to tlie owner of the Jeffery- Dundas St. property on the subject of the higli-rise. This constitutes a minor victory because at the meeting with Counicil, it appeared as if Council feit the issue to be chosed. Bil's involvement constitutes the liope for the future. He has already spoken to tlie Mayor and the Town Plan- ner, and appears to be warming up to tliis issue. Bill's got a good track record, but on tliis one, we sliould al jump in and hehp. A Bit about Taxes Harvest Home Service The Bible Christian Cliurch at the Brougham Museum wvas the scene of a Hamrest Home Service with ministers from five denomin- ations participating. An overtlow attendance of peo- pie comning from Toronto, Oshawa, Whitby and Picker- ing with a visitor fromi Newfoundland gave thanks for te good harvest. They gathered in the littie church tliat was buiht in 1853, wvhile the overflow groups were taken on guided tours of the Museum Village where build- ings pre-dating 1811 are re- stored and open for public viewing. The sermon was con- ducted by Rev. S. G. West of St. Pauls on tlie Hill, Anglican CHurcli, Dunbarton. Alsc partîcipating in the Harvest Home Service were Rev. A. G. Quesnelle, Holy Redeemer Churdli, Bay Ridges, Rev. Alexander Robertson, St. George's Anglican Church Pickering Village, Rev. Frank Conkey, St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Churcli, Pickering and Rev. T. H. Fleetham, Grcenwood United Church. Tlie soloist was Robert Miller of Brougliam, a descendant of the John Miller Family who lanI1838 settled in the Brough- bam area. At the conclusion of the Harvest Home Service the congregation and mini- sters gathered in the Museum for cofl'ce, cookies and a social hour. BOWN'SI I- Wliitbyites slîould be' ever vigilaint on lbis issue. The provincil Treasurer indicated recently that 1975 miglit be a tough year for municipal grants, and thiat the propcrty owner nliit be biit biard. We should, theî'efoî'c, watch to sec that the Town bud- get does îlot contain much imore than what is absolutely necessary. Grand, new ideas are îîot in order. The Hockey Wifc - We have ail read a great deal about how mothers and fathers carry on when their sons are playing minor hockey. The publicity is usùally bad, but my experience is that minor hockey or basebail could not succeed witliout tlie efforts of the players' parents. 1 mention this only because 1 reccntly observed a new phenomena, the hockey w*ife. Sunday last 1 went davn to the Whitby Men's Hockey League gaine at the new arena. Over 50 people were in the stands, a good number of them of an age that woutd identify tliem as wives of the players. The enthusiasm of the ladies was arnazing. Tliey cheered their favourites and booed the opposition with an intensity that would be biard to match. Tbey were enjoying themsehves, and so, it appeared were the players. And this is really what its ail about. And thîs is wliy once again 1 say go down to Iroquois Park at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday and sec the older fellows play. 1 know you'Il enjoy yourself. W.L.C.A. The column lias been relatively silent the hast few weeks about Association Activities. However, the Executive met on November 3rd, and 1 hope to have some news for you next week. Free Press 1 finally met my editor the other niglit, and we had a WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1914, PAGE 7 most enjoyable and, interesting conversation. The Free Press faces stiff opposition from other week- lies that arc part' of a large cliain. The Free Press is, liowever, an authentic, purely local paper, and 1 urge you to continue to support it. 1 did even before 1 started the column. Mixed Bowling The bowling league continues to roll along. Early stand- ings, and tlie fact that out tearn is struggling, prevent me from reporting in depth. Tuesday, October 29, however, was a big nite, at least for Ivan Bootli. He rolled a 425 single in lis second game. So bats off to Ivan, and if lie continues to bowl that way, the next lime lie bowls against us, we'll probably break lis arm. Well, bye for now. See you next week. Consumers' Corner Return, Recycle, Use Less Nearly everything we buy cornes in a package or container. Botties, boxes, bags, wrappers, cans and papers. Most people are in the habit of throwing these thmngs away. That means wasting thern. Paper and cardboard are made fromn trees. Cans are made frout metal. Glass is made from silica and sand rnelted together using lots of electricity. Ail these are natural resources. If we keep throwing stuif away sorneday there won't be enough natural re-, sources lef t to malte the, thingsl we need. One thing we can do so as nuL to waste resources is recycle the things made fromn them. Recycle means return to use agaîn. Not everything can be recycled but much can. Check to see if there's a recycling center near you. Even better is to use returnable con- tainers (Recycling uses a lot' of energy). Returnables are things that can be used again just as they are. Many of the materials used in Ptackaging cannot be re- turned or recycled, sa the rnost helpful thing we eam do to, not waste resaurces is ta use less of these things. The înost we can do to help conserve our trees and rivers and other natural resources is to use only what is absolutely necessary, return and reuse whatever pos- sible, and recycle the things that can't be reused.
