SAPETT from the joyful and hilarious greeting (sometimes intoxicated) with which we mark the death of the old year and the birth of the new, we, too, see this time as a milestone--not only in our own individual experience but also collectively - as human. beings throughout the world. We share with others a universal emotion, an emotion which stripped of all cynicism, doubt and despair reveals itself as human hope, and' this hope is directed towards the. future and the better things it v And those better things are for all people in all places regardless of creed and colour, "Hope" it is said, "springs eternal in mans breast" and hope is born of SAMUEL FARMER ESTATE Comments ful kind of human courage commoh to all of us--rich and poor, glave and free, from the highest' to the lowest. In truth in this courage resides the taught and such divinity cannot and will not be denied. In spite of the fact that: "Each of us in some degree Is vietim, to necessity." And although: . "Man's unreason upon injustice piled Makes tragedy for the child; And fills with hate, the human heart, Which love alone can cause to beat With music clear and sweet. So now at the very threshold of the new year, and even as we turn away from the past to what lies ahead grant that our hopes, our courage will make real in every day life to an ever-in- creasing extent our divinity, In this prayer can all.men join for it is alone those things which separate us and whose petty dust blinds us to our common humanity and its common good. And our common good. And our common good is beauty and truth seeking to express itself through charity towards all and malice towards _ faith and faith itself is but a wonder-'n erg = ont none.

PORT PERRY YACHT CLUB In a few hours 1948 will be merely a date in history. Whether it has been a good year or a bad year generally speaking is a matter for greater express an opinion I would say it has - been a terrible year. Why? The shooting is over but the war is not. Why? Because nations cannot put "aside petty matters of policy so that contentions can be ironed out. Why? Many reasons 1 guess, but it seems that the chief one is pride. Not the pride a nation feels in its prosperity or lovely countryside and pivers; but a silly, small pride that something like this, 'if we give 8, then we will be admitting "yrong. which would be il prestige.' 'past year, have y u re- ven to reason or alter an ause of personal prestige? ore, stop and think ere you have had a » your: 'head. of you stopped ng that you you; yes, | Oo pu seopped or not you 'that when, you have a. ening yourself that "burn you aufckly put ad, The reason be- 2 surself you' must If I were asked to! or if you |. | mind, you will find it easier to admit 4 you are wrong when you are wrong.

The Council began -the year witha surplus of $4006.47 and collected in taxes and interest $33,018.61, of this amount $32,862.67 was gp the 1948 roll which had a possible of $33,266. that only about $2,000 is outstanding, with the probability that some of this will paid in by the end of the year. Mr. Hayes stated that the council had kept within their estimates, al- though they had to postpone some items of work for another year. The total assessment value .of the last roll was around $1,000,000, on which the taxes for 1949 will be levied. He next spoke on the Waterworks Extension which is not yet completed. The pipeline has been laid to the well at Cedar Creek. The well and pump- house have a few minor pieces of work to complete. The last test showed a pumping capacity of 100 gallons per minute, and the engineer was sure this would be raised to 160 gallons per minute when the job was completed. It is egtimated that 55 gallons per minute will be sufficient to supply the village with all the water nccessary. The water is of very high quality. Debentures to the amount of $66,000 had be sold at a price of 98.636 for the payment of the Waterworks Ex- tension. 560 feet of new main had been laid on Scugog Street east from Union Avenue. mas Stockings", Jack Chapman; trio, Beryl Palmer, Anita King, Garnet Palmer, singing "Winter Wonderland" and "My Happiness"; recitation, "A Christmas Nightmare", Isabel Gibson; musical number, Faul Espie, Bert Fralick, Wayne Oke; Junior Choir, singing "Santa Claus Comes To-night'! and "Jingle Bells; trio, "Here Comes Santa Claus".
