On returning to America he reâ€" ceived a letter from Lee Jung Hi which read, "Every day since you were here, Father, 1 remember the touch of your real hand." The touch of your real hand â€" all the longing of the orphan for love was soothed by the touch of her father‘s hand. She was grateâ€" ful for his material support which provided her with food and clothâ€" ing but oh â€" the touch of his real hand. What a realization it brought! She was loved. If we as Christians will read our Bibles we too shall realize the touch of His real hand, our Heavenly Father‘s hand. In life we are so conscious of the presâ€" Many teenagers camp and college set on the other hand was in darkness except for the odd bonfire. How two or three thousand voungsters can get parental permission to drink, sleep and love it up together is beyond me. My personal theory is that the daughters convinced their mothers that they only planned a weekend of innocent campâ€" ing with a girl friend and the sons used a similar line with their fathers. The ritual seems to be sun worshipping on the beautiful sandy beach during the day time, dancing the latest at the Pavilion during the evening hours and doing goodness knows what during the wee hours of the morning. Fort Lauderdale, Florida is the mecca of the Eastern U.S. college set during the Easter recess. It looks like Sauble is the Civic holiday weekend mecca for Southwestern Ontario youth. The six miles of beautiful sandy beach, exploring the lovely little towns of Port Elgin, Southampton and Wiarton nearby, the fishing, golf courses and other tourist facilities, makes Sauble a lovely holiday area for the cottager and camper. But like most good things, popularity and success is beginâ€" ning to ruin this part of the Bruce Peninsula. Many people are predicting that in two or three years, the area will deâ€" teriorate into another Wasaga Beach which is now being taken over by the Ontario government in an effort to clean it up. I remarked on this to several of the prominent Sauble natives and asked what they thought should be done about it. One man, who has his entire savings invested in several prospering Sauble businesses, explained that the cottagers, yearâ€"round residents and merchants are fairly evenly divided on what the answer is. "it is my personal view," he said, "that if five million people want to come up here and camp, there is no way of stopping them so we may as well be prepared to accommoâ€" date them." But, he added, when the Department of Lands and Forests wanted to purchase 60 acres to expand the proâ€" vincial camp site at Sauble Falls, the move was thwarted by county council. ‘The beach is another problem. A second old timer said many people believe that it is just about time proper washâ€" room facilities were built to meet the needs of many, many thousands of people who flock to the sandy waterfront every weekend. At present those who need relief use the sand dunes 200 feet behind the beach and this is becoming a very serious health hazard, he explained. A third said a continuing population increase will swamp the area unless the town and county begins to plan and build a sound road system, water system and other essential services. The other viewpoint was expressed to me by a native who agreed that this may sound fine, but it could also mean a substantial boost in the property tax rate. He believes that if local zoning regulations are expanded and strictly enâ€" forced, the present rapid rate of expansion can be controlled. Next summer I wouldn‘t mind camping or renting a cotâ€" tage up there. But if Sauble ever becomes another Wasaga, brother forget it. 1 hate automobile fumes, traffic jams, motor cycle gangs and a deteriorating slum environment. That‘s no way to spend a holiday, is it?

(Continued from page 2) ©ouNIPLE LISTIE SEAVICE c6@ Now it‘s a 3,000 gram baby The European metric system is coming to the boroughs of York and North York as Northwestern General Hospital prepares to join others in Ontario in adopting the more precise, international standard of weights and meaâ€" sures. The Ontario Hospital Associaâ€" tion last year urged all hospitals in the province to adopt "as scon as is feasible" the more consistâ€" ent and widely accepted metric system in all areas of diagnosis, care and treatment of patients, and in the education of medical, paraâ€"medical and technical perâ€" sonnel. The voluntary Association recâ€" ommends that hospitals, because of their special need for preâ€" cision, should be in the foreâ€" front of the movement to metrics, which it believes will eventually be adopted for universal use in Canada. In Ontario alone some 30 hos pitals have changed over from their traditional Imperial, apotheâ€" cray and avoirdup# in the last 12 months, and more have indicated that they will switch within the next few years. Now hospitals in many other parts of ‘Clnldl are also converting to metric, assisted by guidelines de lveloped by the Ontario Hospital Association. F. T.
