The farm land was acquired by the Dept. of Highways whe. Highway 401 was extended be- yond Oshawa-and was event- ually turned over to the parks division for development asa public playground, picnic spot and camping area. This desir- able parcel of land has two drawbacks; it lacks tree cover, and erosion at the beach will require considerable work to correct. On the other hand it is withing a 50-mile radius of close to 2,000,000 Canadians, and less than an hour's drive from Toronto. The beach is ex- tensive and there is a large lagoon which is a nesting and feeding spot for wild fowl and shore birds. Specifically the land lies sauth and it extends from the Durham-Ontario county line to the west fence of the Pickell farm. Access to the area will hi via the south arm of the Bloor St. cloverleaf on the easterx outskirts of Oshawa. The lagoon could provide safe IN HANDY CARTONS SIX 11 oz.

Office in bis home .T Wrote Hymns Sti11 Popular "Near Ripley, my horse threw me and fell on me," an itiner- ant minister named Charles Wesley wrote in bis journal. "My cempanion thougbt I had broken my neck, but only my leg was bruised, my hand sprained and my bead stunned, which prevented me from mak-1 ing bymns until the next day." As it turned out, the day lost to hymn-making wasn't very costly since Charles Wesley eventually composed the lyrics ta some 6,500 hymns. He was the most proiific bymn writer of ail time. Birthday Marked Many churches, particularly those af Methodist derivation, are celebrating the 250th anni- versary of the master hymn wniter's birth in Epworth, Eng- land. Although It may look that i way at times, Charles Wesley did not invent bymn-sînging. It's older than the Christianl church itseif. St. Paul exhort- ed the Ephesians: "(Speak) ta yourselves in psalms and bymns and spiritual sangs, singing and makîng melody in ýyour beart ta the Lard." But Charles Wesley, anrd thel Protestant hymn-makers who followed in bis footsteps, add- ed samething ta the ancientj hyrnns of praise-their contri-1 bution was intense personal, ex- penience. Wesley was converted-that is, he underwent a deep feeling af forgiveness for bis sins-on Whit-sunday, 1738. The next day bie wrote bis first bymn, "O, For a Tbousand Tangues ta Sing". He dictated bis last on bis deathbed. In the 50 years between con- version and death, be averaged 150 hymns a year, many of them camposed ini the most un- lll<ely places since bis wander- ing ministry took him ail over England. His best known works are Jesus, Lover of My Seul, writ- ten in 1740 and stili a standard in most bymn, books, and the favorite Christmas caral. "Hark1 the Herald Angeis Sing"l. Throughout bis lifetime and, afterward, Charles Wesley was overshadowed by bis elder bro- ther, John. Actually, tbey were an evangelic team; John. the thinker, Charles the eloquent man of sang.
