~~ Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association - THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, November 1st, 1956 a "The Chitreh and 9 * 2 J The decision of the Session of the Port "Perry United Church to keep its sancutary as a sancutary alone is in many respects admirable. On the other hand it is diffi-* cult to understand how religion in its very finest sense can be separated from the edu- cation of our young. Commencement is one of the exalted moments of a high school student's life. At no time in his life is he closer to re- ligious feeling than when he holds his well- won diploma for the first time. It is a time when the effect of the sur- roundings afforded by the beautiful chan- cel of a church helps him to be lifted closer to a wider vision and a deeper understand- ing of the possibilities in life. Shall we deny the young people whom we have nurtured through Sunday Schools during all 'their childhood and adolescent years the right to stand in the finest auditorium we have to offer in our town? in fact about the only one that is large enough and gracious enough to hold such a gathering. Our schools are overflowing. The re- gular school auditorium will not adequately take care of the anxiuos and loving parents and proud relatives who will gather to honour these young people. . The Church of England throughout its long history in Canada has provided the parish hall for semi-secular activity. The Methodist and Presbyterian churches sim- ply used their basement. However this particular occasion is much too special and The Revolt of the Satellites An outstanding English correspondent has described the revolts in Poland and Hungary as history-making events of world-wide importance. He argues that -.it is.a tremendous'thing that these people arose practically unarmed to shake off the tyranny of one of the greatest powers in the world . .. . Soviet Russia. And yet this has been a story repeated and repeated down through the history of mankind. Perhaps, there is one difference. Until the present upheaval in Eastern Europe we had yet to see a people assert themselves in the face of modern mechan- ized force of great power. Many conquered peoples during, World - War II would gladly have shaken off the slavery which Hitler had enforced upon them. Beyond the resistence movements which operated on a very small scale there # . ? .. 7 == ' Commencement solemn .for such surroundings -- if any basement were large enough to hold the affair, : The old Presbyterian chireh believed in no liberties of any kind at thé kirk but they had a very high regard for learning and gave the school master their deepest re spect. ~The Methodist church was founded by Wesley as we all know, who in his time stood for a new life that belonged to the people--the poor and neglected as well as the rich. child if he accepted Christ and was convert- ed. All God's richest blessings were for him. Wesley worked to establish schools for the poor and food for the needy. He argued for their inalienable right to speak for themselves before God. The audi- torium in the methodist church and the presbyterian church also was, besides be- ing a sanctuary of the most high, a place where sermons were thundered forth from the pulpit; where Christian opinions were individually expressed and argued out. In other words they were assembly halls for the education of the people. Perhaps once a year at least, an exception could:be made in the ruling of this Board, whose sole intention was for the best, to share a moment in the life of the whole community that is rich in religious ex- perience and unforgettable for the young person, on that day of days--commence- ment. were no popular revolts. The conquered people simply. resigned themselves to what appeared to be unavoidable. Can we once more with confident assur- 'ance assert that man is a freedom loving creature who, like Danton cries out from time to time, "Give me liberty or give me death." : The events in Hungary and Poland lenu weight to such a view and all lovers ot liberty and freedom must be encouraged by what has taken place even though at a fearful price. A greater tragedy lies in the fact that often such sacrifice in the name of free- dom has been perverted by unscrupulous demagogues to) their own purposes. It is to be hoped that the people of the satellite countries who are in revolt against Soviet domination will win governments worthy of their heroism.

The park has been operated by the county since the split-up of the former York Coun- ty, which saw fourteen municipalities become part of the Metropolitan Area. Report was that the government would pay $126,000 for the park, which is the only remaining public area of any size on Lake Simcoe. Operation as a public park would he continued by-the province.

Mrs. Lenore McMil- lan of Blackwater has a forsythai bush, oné half of which is leafless and has flowers on it as in Spring and the other half covered with green leaves.

Although there are some who may wish for that miracle, too.

If he sends a postal, it's too short, If he doesn't send a notice, he is lazy. If he attends a committee meeting he's butting in. If he stays away, he is a shirker.- If he duns the members for dues, he is insulting. If he fails to collect dues, he is slipping. If he asks for advice he is incompe- tent.
