This happened to me somewhat the other day. It started off with a number of telephone calls to the town and regional offices. Although staff members were trying to help me the best that they could, the answers were not the ones I was hoping for to solve the problems. What was I going to do? Something had to be done. Everybody has heard the song "What a Differen- ce a Day Makes, " well, it's true. The next day was a bright, sunny fail day so I decided to drive around town and refresh myseif. Sure enough, people were busy raking the leaves, washing windows, waxing their car and generally enjoying the weather. What impressed me the most was the way homeowners were keeping their properties. It is a credit to the people and goes towards making the town a much more rewarding place fo live. After coming home and seeing things on the bright side, I was able to tackle the problems with much more ease. Next year has been designated the International Year Ã"fe the Senior Citizen by the United* Nations. l'ni sure Whitby Town Council and other com- munity orgaizations will plan many celebrations and come Up with some meamingful ideas for their future as well as show our appreciation for the part they have played and continue to play in our community. Remember, some day we ail wiIl hope to live and enjoy our Golden Age to the utmost and with careful planning it can become a pleasant experience. The matter of keeping the Kinsmen outdoor pool open in the future is back before council for budget discussion. I feel that the $20,000 spent this year on the poolý proved its worth and that the money should be spent to keep it open for 10 more years to come. The region's staff. are also preparing their 1982 budget so we're back to the Port Whitby sewer question. The finance committee has said that it will support the construction of-the diversion sewer subject to growth taking place at the same time. I believe we have proved that with the completion of the Port Whitby Secondary Plan Study but before any development can take place we need that sewer constructed. May I point out that the Kesmark hotel/condominium and marina project cannot go ahead without it. Another thing of interest is the letter that the town recently received from the Ontario Ministry of the Environmnent stating what has been known for some time that the Lynde Creek which runs the length of Whitby from north to south through Brooklin is somewhat contaminated. This information suggests to me that the only way to protect the Lynde Creek is by bringing sewers to Brooklin. There is a proposed way for this to hap- pen but I know one thing - the region cannot afford to do it on its own.

BOYCE ELLIOTT Rector Brooklin United Church Read: Luke 10:25-37 What's your attitude when you come upon a wounded person - wounded through drugs, alcohol, broken marraige, loss of self esteem? Is it pity or disgust? What kind of a mist are you when you come upon the wounded? You can be an optimîst. You can say "Everything will eventually work out to everyone's satisfaction." The traveller on the Jericho Road was an optimist to the extent that he believed that he would have a safe journey, even though thieves lay behind every rock. He believed he could handle the situation. Many Christians are like that. Despite what is happening in our world today, everything wilI ho, fine. God will see to that. So they get their own souls saved and divorce themselves from the world God created. Their non-involvement in God's world is written off by saying God will punish the evil doers and reward the righteous. This kind of optimism is dead wrong. The business of the Christian is to join hands with God and go out to help, in Christ's name, the wounded of the world. Life wiil not turn out "alright" unless you work hand in hand with God. You can be a pessimist. You feel that since you can't change the world it is' almost useless to try and do anything as an in- dividual. The Priest and the Levite felt that to stay and help this poor wounded traveller would result in an at- tack on themselves. So they did nothing, except to get out of there as fast as their legs could carry them. Both these men were guilty of deadly and damming conduct. The traveller was in danger of dying but they did nothing. If you want to wreck your church you don't have to siander the pastor and run him out of town, or set fire to the building! Just do nothing. Just pass it by and the end resuit wiil soon ho visible. No doubt they felt a "pang of pi ty" for the wound- ed traveller. But like every pessimist, they just passed by. They ignored the man and did nothing. You can be a peptomist. The peptomist nover seos an American, a Japanese, a Canadian, a Roman Catholic, or a United Church. He sees people, and he doosn't need any tags of identifica- tion. He helps people, people who are desperately wounded on the journey of lifo. Jesus Christ removed all the labels and wrote in their place the word " brother. " The wounded man was not a Jew or a Gentile but a brother to the Samaritan. Look at the degree of brothorhood stlown by the Samaritan. He ministered to the man's wounds, gave him a ride on his own boast to an inn. He could have stopped there. Emergency measures had been taken, the man was safe at the inn. But the peptomist neyer stops there. He pays for the man's lodging for the night, then tells the landiord to keep him until his wounds are healed, and when ho returns he will pay the bill. The Good Samaritan is not doing his duty. He is not even aware of "duty". He is aware of love, love for one's neighbour and one's God. The peptomist is full 0f vim and vigor, and "get- up and go", and when he sees a job to ho done, ho simply does it. A truly Christian person gives outward ex- pression to his beliefs by translating those beliefs into loving service. BE SENI MC >SHAMI 0HAIRC BLOWI
