ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THUIISDAY, MAY 3th, 1968_ Prom a sermon preached by Rev- Basil E. Long. A young fellow from the city went out to a holiday ranch where he was attempting to appear very much at ease among unfamiliar surroundings. liaving deeided to go for a ride on one of the many horses which had been placed at the disposai of the visitors. lie selected his mount and then went about gettinig it ready for riding. His rather awkward and uncertain movements were being observed with some degree of amusement by ani elderly, seasoned horseman who was leaning against the fence picking his teeth. The chap from the city did not wish to show himself off in an'in- experienced light, so he got the saddle, looked, the horse over carefully, then tossed it up on the hurse's baclk. At this point the ex- perienced horseman burst into a boud laugh as he exclaimed, "you have it on backwards." The'other paused a moment, expressed an air of thoughtfulness and uneot- cern, then as he turned the sad- dle, he replied, "Oh, no I haven't 1 just hodn't made up my mind which way I am going." Cohfusion, perplexity, and in- decision are the marks of modemn living. Older people find them- selves very much iii at case in the fast changing world of today. Customs'and codes of ethies, for- merly a dependable measure of life, àre almost obscured by what seem fo be new and questionable expressions. Our news media are fillced with accounts of student uprising as they seek to dispose of authomity, and: yet observers are at a boss to see what it is they want, or where they are trying to, go. There is good eason to believe that they have little idca themselves. Old and young alike are much Q. llke the would-be horseman who was putting on a bold front while very much ill at case. Like him, many must admit that amid ail the confusion and perplexity of our time, we can't make up our ujind which way we are. going. The truc Christian will discover, that Christ Is the sure guide to successful living. A story cornes out of the soutb which telis of a seepy littie town awakening one morning te, the warm suýisinie whicb soon dis- appeared as the heavy storm clouds obscured the blue sky. It was not long until the rain was coming down in torrents, and flot long u¶til'water was pourîng into the basements of the housês as the water crept h%'gher and bighem. When the dam broke, the water soon rose halfway up the win- dows of the fîrst floor. ]ýy 'this time the accupants weme 'i" real trouble. One mother and ber yuung sohi had taken refuge on the roof of their home where the young boy was enjoying huimsebf as he watcbed- the water swvirling by, and noticed the debris as it Honey Speaks "Canadians are now paying enough taxes and any project tuo further ihcrease taxes pyoposed by candidates in this campaign should be looked at with ,the greatest of care," Russeli C. lioný ey, Liberal Member of Parliament for Durham in the last Parliament told a Liberal Norinating Con- vention for the Riding of Renfrew North. .Mr. lioney endorse d the posi- tion taken by Prime Minîster Tru- deau that Canada must balance its budget this year. lie was sharply criticai of proposais of Conservative Leader Stanfieid to construct a tuhnel from Labrador to'Newfoundland and also his pro- posai for a guaranteed minimum income. Referring to statements made by Prime Minister Trudeau that the Liberal Party wiil propose offly those thing~s that will assist the slow growtb areas to shame in the economie benefits of Can- ada, Mr. Iloney said' that the Prime Minister had made it clear that such proposais would be put forward only if "the cost te the taxpayer is mentioned in. the same phrase." 1"A new Libemai government un- der Mr. Trudeau wili implement the Canada Development Corpor, ation," Mr. lioney said. This plan woubd not cost the taxpayer any amount, but it would give hlm an oppurtuinity to invest in the econ- umie growth of Canada if ho wish- cd to, do su. "Mm. Trudeau's concept of the Canada Develbopment Corporation is a refinement of the former pro- posal. lie secs it as a means to promote the development in Can- a-da of those things we cah do better than any other coÜntmy in the world and we should be giving was caried aluong by the cuments and eddies ceated by the flood. Socin his attention was caught by a hat whlch seemed to he moving upon the surface cf the water. The hat would move downstream su far, then go back up against the stream te a certain point where it woubd corne te a stop, then move downstream again. The boy watched the hat for some time, then exclaimed te bhis mother, -look mom, wbat's that?" The mother peemed oyc'r the edge of the rouf, loo0ked at the bat and then repbied, "Oh, that's youm pa, son. Ile vowed wben he gut up this mumning that he was ging te eut tbat grass come bell or higb water." In thîs perplexing and challeng- ig time when there are so many diversions, Christians need deter- mination if anything worthwhîbe is going to bappen, net a bind determination which pursues its way iregamdleSS of the value, but an, enlightened determination wbich, is not easily defeated as it seeks the ways cf truth and ligbt. The horse books loaned by the Lake Ontario RegionFal Library System wvere very popular, creat- îng such a demand by heorse-loyers ior more: such stories that a spec- îal purchase of paperbacks has been made to satisfy requests.

Mr. I{oney mentioned the world leadership of Canada in such things as forestry research and the Chalk River plant of At- omie Energyof Canada. both lo- cated in the Riding of Renfrew The Orono Police Trustees, through the Township Cýouncîl, are seeking to have the Municipalý Board reverse its decision on the storm sexver and paving poject recently turIned down by the B3oard. The Trustees are submit- ting a number of betters to counsil received from the Durham-North- umberland Health Unit and- the Ontario Water Resources Com- m ission which are to be sent in turn, to the Ontario Municipal Board. These letters support the sturm sewee prioject and rule out -any immediate need for sanitamy, sc*%ers in the Village. The Oruno Police Trustées re- ceived a letter from Strike and StrWýe on bebaîf of Mrs. S. Mof- fat in which refemence was made to the condition of the Orono dump wbýere refuse now appeared on Mrs. Moff.at's property depre- ciating its value. The letter also said that two dead animals in the dump was )a health hazard and that the Trustees had takehnon action in this after being inform-' cd. The letter asked that the dump be clleaned up. Mr. Simpson said that as soon as lie was informed of the dead calves lbe bad gene over immedi- ately and removed them. The Trustees are to ifomm Strike and Strike that the dump will be cleaned up a week from this Sat- urday. Then the Trustees intend to hire a number of boys to do the w ork under the supervision of Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Downs.
