We appre- -. ciate this convenience in our own communi- ty and we know that others appreciate the same convenience in their home communi- ties. : Yes, we know that Uxbridge folk will welcome a hospital in their own town and will do well to support it even as we must work to keep our hospital functioning smoothly and well. But in all the years that we have had this wonderful service here Revolutions in the States During the past two-or-three years, pro- fessional, technical and managerial people have become - the largest group in the American working population. This group does not include clerical people or the shop- girl, It does not even include foreman and charge hands in the factories. The group is the salaried middle class. ... Thirteen years ago the industrial worker - was by far the largest group in the country, hence the tremendous rise in the power of But it is evident that the power of organized labour has waned and is continuing to wane. In spite of this in- dustrial productivity has more than doub- led. Today one out of every five people making up the working population of the United States is a salaried person. . And the group is growing rapidly while other "groups shrink in size. The three major fields of development are education, elec- tronics and chemistry. These people are not interested in unions and unions today are. tending to become defenders of the A Time to Think Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour, Rains from the sky a meteoric shower Of facts . . . they lie unquestioned, ~uncombined. Wisdom enough to leech us of ourills "Is daily spun, but there exists no loom 'To weave it into fabric. And Edna St. Vincent Millay speaks ac- curately when she talks of the facts that assail us from every side if our daily life. We daily burrow our way through facts and statistics. Somehow we have great faith in facts, but they don't provide us with the wisdom that these'dark days seem to_demand 9) But Edna Millay is wrong when she in- gists that there is no loom-which can weave the fabric of life into a whole. It is the mind a man. 'In our time we have seen the mind of man well nigh overwhelmed by the -discoveries of science and tech- nology. New knowledge and new inven- tions have come so fast that they have greatly outstripped our ability to under- stand their importance in terms of the real ends for living, = prejudices concerning them. . . -_for those who had need of it-we have never round it necessary to beg that citizens come _ here instead of going to some other nearby centre for hospital treatment. Yes, we kpow that people want their hospital nearby, they want to be able to visit their sick friends and relatives; but they also want to know that the service and facilities are always good and depend- able; It is upon this formula that we have built our hospital and we know that we have built well. All our local clubs and gocieties are loyal supporters of our com- munity hospital. They know the need. They know we have the facilities! They know we have good doctors! They know we have good nurses and staff! As long as we sup- port our hospital and know its value to our community we will not find it necessary to invade the field of other hospitals nearby. past. These people are more community mind- ed and more responsible than the groups which formerly controlled community activities. oy Co Karl Marx predicted his great work on the idea that society would split into two warring groups, the small, elite, powerful group of capitalists and the huge and ever increasing group of the proletariat or workers. . How wrong he has been proved for here the strongest in America is the salaried group who are neither capitalists nor proletariats. Ag yet we do not know what changes this will eventually bring in our way of life. All we can say is that changes are already taking place and these changes are affecting our politics, our economy, and our social life. This is the crux of the American revolu- tion as it unfolds today. We expect the child to understand only the small circle of immediate contacts in which he lives. We expect his concerns to be with the immediate and the personal. The adult who retains this kind of childish outlook sees only his small circle of life and as it touches him or her immediately and personally. These are the people who have created the great schisms in our national and international relationships. The individual who strive for and works towards maturity and growth sees him- self closely linked with his {fellow man in his own community, with all people of the -- world. This and nothing less. ~The problems tb be solved in todays"s in- terdependent world are problems in human relations. As long as we persist in seeing the pro- blems as problems of isms, as problems of economy, as problems in power prestige, problems of race and creed and colour just so long do we persist in clinging to all our Man's mind is freed to solve human problems only when he accepts his common humanity. , PLE HONOUR LINDSAY JUDGE | the members of the Lindsay Bar As- | tickets--38; adult instruction class--b5; "Matthew Arnold referred in one of his Clipped Comments PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS For some time the intellectuals among us, the so-called "eggheads", have been warning against the loss of individualism. Thére is, they, say, too much conformity and too little self-de- termination; too much seeking of hap- piness and security as one of the mass, too little the finding of the réal joy of living in charting our-own way; too muéh a willingness to regard freedom as once won, éver. sure. If it some- times seems a confusing discussion, some words by the new President of the University of Toronto, Dr. C. T. Bissell, may serve to reduce that con- fusion. 53 a "We are accustomed to saying today that Western civilization is character- ized by respect for the ifidividual and belief in the fréedom in the human spirit," Dr. Bissell told the Univers- ity's students and staff at its opening exercises, "We donot possess. these attributes simply by proclaiming them. They must be fought for. They are not the automatic gift of the society in which we live. 'Thdeed, it is becom- ing increasingly -difficult to preserve the qualities of individual self-identifi. cation under the impact of multitudi- nous forces without, : "The great 19th century writer, poems to 'joy whose grounds are sure'. To find those grounds that will give satisfaction both to ourselves and to our fellows is one of the great aims of education, We battle not with com- missars, but with spiritual confusion; with a chorus of huckstering voices urging us that human happiness is to be achieved only by the purchase of a Jengthening procession of automobiles, or by a dally diet of certified number off 'positive thought'. The pursuits of happiness has become the 20th Century nightmare. Happiness is not so much a pursuit as a condition of in- ner stability and. inner knowledge." Anyone so. inclined might work up quite an indietment of our enlightened; prosperous Western civilization. We seem to pursue happiness only in more leisure, more wealth, more state- pro- vided security. We refuse to admit that happiness is not a station to be arrived at, but:is a way of traveling --and we travel that way alone. --Canadian Statesman, 'Greenbank Mr. and Mrs, Henry Mills of Tor- onto visiting his mother Mrs. Mills on Sunday.

WOLF SHOT AT CHALK LAKE A woli was shot at Chalk Lake early on Sunday morning, after it had been seen hanging about the home of Mr. Reuben Huxtable. Mr. Huxtable reported that he woke with his dog barking and on turning on 'the light found the wolf at the hack door. He went to the side door and the animal came around there and to the front door when he opened it. A little later the animal was shot by a neighbour, Mr. Amos. It is the first report this year of a wolf in this area. DOMINION STORE FOR LINDSAY . Dame rumor has been going the rounds in Lindsay recently. The old rumor that a new shopping centre is to be established in the vicinity of Lindsay has petered out, but it was stated a few days ago that the Domin- ion Store has been investigating the possibility of locating within a radius of one.mile from the centre of the town. - A number of years ago the Do- minion Store operated in Lindsay and was located where the Bata Shoe Store is now situated. The store, it is rum- oured, would be much the same as the fine new Dominion Store on the Che- mong Road, north of Peterborough. JOHN MILLS BRIDGE NAMED The largest bridge in Ontario Coun- ty -- 160-foot span that carries the Baseline across Duffin's Creek--was officially named the John Mills Bridge to honour the name of the first reeve of the town of Ajax Wednesday. The official opening ceremony was conducted by Hon Fred Cass, Minister of Highways. The ribbon-cutting was done by the Hon. Matthew Dymond, minister of transport. STOUFFVILLE POOL HAD NEARLY 400 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS Stouffville: Swimming Pool, oper- ated by the Stouffville Lions Club, had approximately four hundred regular customer ticket holders during the season just concluded. The actual figure was made up of family season students--229; children--111; teenage and adult group--398. Actually the pool was far from over- crowded at any time, and Manager A. H. Williams strongly urges that steps be taken to advertise the pool more extensively in 1969. The largest number of persons using the pool on any one day was July 15, when the attendance was 308; on July 24th it was 300, and on July 2nd, 279. With the exctption of these few days, there was more than ample accommo- dation at all times. The local pool operates witli the full quota of life-guards as recommen- ded by the Red Cross with expenditure of $1312.05. Management costs were Mis- cellancous expenditures, including a local hydro account of $106., amount- ed to $766.08. CPS COUNCIL CRITICIZED RE NON CO-OPERATION Members of the Town Council were critical of the Ops Township and health authorities when Ald. J. A. Mec- Quarrie stated that a new motel per- mit has been granted to the owners of 'Lynpark, Lindsay street south; that septic tanks would have to be used and that the seepage might reach the river il close proximity to the intake at the waterworks plant. , It was claimed that Lindsay author- ities, especially the Board of Health, should have been consulted before the issuing of a permit. to build. As Lynpark is just outside the Lind- say boundary and as the area is to be annexed, Councillors believed the Town should have beén notified It was stated that Lindsay Board of Health hag jurisdiction over the waters of the Scugog for two miles outside of town. It was also stated that Waterworks Commissioners -of Lindsay are con- cerned and that officials of the Water on Monday.

A telegram rescinding the Board's pre- vious decision, given over a week ago, was received by Mayor Parish and the council Friday. No reasons have been advanced for the decision which may cause embar- rasment. to the town which has let the contract for the work which has al- ready started. It is believed that the board's decis- ion may have been brought about by complaints from Pickering township council which sought to share in the hig project. The township council approached the town council in the matter but was turned down. The reason given was that the township council refused to go along with the project when Ajax first broached it. The town entered into the project some months ago when it brought in engineers to study the the water situation and submit plans. AJAX BLOCKS WATER BID The Town of Ajax -has closed the door on Pickering Township's bid to shore in the cost of erecting a water plant to serve both municipalities. Twp." Reeve Wm Lawson, in a letter to Ajax Council, requested that the matter be given serious consideration by their members. A brief reply from Ajax Council was read at Pickering's regular meeting on Monday night of last week. The Township were inform- ed that Ajax wished no further dis- cussion on the matter. "There's no legal means whereby we may push the application any furth- er," stated Reeve Lawson. "Unless the Ontario Municipal Bd. steps in, the matter is closed," the Reeve. Reeve Lawson doubted that the the O.M.B. would take any action, The Reeeve suggested that Council hold a special meeting next week to discuss the entire water question. He informed the members that a vote of the people was unnecessary if the water plant was to be erected through the Water Resources Commission. 11. noted, however, that any installation of the mains would necessitate the ap- proval of the ratepayers. COMPRESSER AIR HORN REPLACES FIRE SIREN The new Diaphone compressed air horn fire alarm is now in operation in Bowmanville. Installation of the new equipment was completed on Sat- Walter Hately who is in charge of maintenance for the Fire Department stated yesterday. The air alarm was first developed for fog signalling along the sea coast and on the Great Lakes. It emits a distinctive and unmistakable tone. It 15 entirely unlike any other signal, which enables it to cut through street or other noises, and to instantly com. mand attention. Under favourable conditions it has been heard at a dis- tance of six miles. Reserve Capacity Important Reserve capacity is of vital import- ance in emergency signalling services. Any system for announcing the exist- ance of a fire, or other emergency, must have a reliable source of reserve capacity to continuously perform its service in the event of power failure. The. air horn alarm has reserve air storage capacity sufficient to sound approximately 85 blasts of three- quarters of a second duration. In the cvent of a- broken circuit it will an- nounce that trouble exists with one blast, then shut of automatically. It thus conserves the compressed air sup- ply and does not annoy the public. 0f Many Things by Ambrose Hills CANADIAN WRITERS Because 1 belong to the Canadian Author's Association, I've met many of our best Canadian writers, and 1 am impressed. One of the things that impresses me most is that you seldom hear them moaning about the lack of opportunity for Canadians. The suec- cessful Canadian writers are doing pretty well. The other day I picked up an Amer- ican magazine noted for its excellent cultural content, and I immediately recognized three of the contributors as Canadians -- a poet, a short-story writer, and an essayist. Quite a good score for a single issue! And their work stood out in the issue for its wonderful quality. They hadn't slant- ed their writing for American con- -umption, because they all used Cana- dian backgrounds. : Today I picked up the wealthy, slick- papered Saturday Evening Post, and the very first item I read was by John V. Hicks, a talented writer from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Of course, Canadian writers have often been Fost regulars--men like R. Ross Annett, Edward McCourt, Jack Pater- son, ete. | CBC. works, Mae Shoub, of Montreal, is an American favorite, for.example. H. Gordon Green is another. And it is thrilling to'learn that four of the hour- long GM television dramas were being broadcast by the American Broadcast- ing Company simultaneously. with took only four, but that's a start. It was also disappointing that one of the scheduled dramas, by John Whelan, who wrote the powerful "Maiden Voy- age" in the same series, was crowded out of the foursome at the last min- ute, A Canadian writer willing to work hard has a tremendous market avail- "|able to him. Our own jouinals, such as Saturday Night, Chatelaine, Mac- lean's, go out of their way to encour- age canuck taleent; and American magazines certainly place no barrier against them. Indeed, many Ameri- can magazines and advertising agen- cies assign stories, articles, and the writing of advertising campaigns to Canadian scribes, because they like the vigor displayed in a great deal of Canadian prose Any young Canadian who wants a writing career can be sure that if he has the talent and the willingness to work, he has a fair chance to make a decent living at it. He shouldn't be scared of opportunity here. In reality, he probably has a better opportunity than a writer in any other country. Canadian publishers give him specjal attention; American magazi e him an even break. What more could a writer ask? GREENBANK Our anniversary services on Sunday were well attended. The speaker, Mr. Tuttle, gave a most inspiring mes- sage both morning and evening. Mr and Mrs. Lorne Blakely, Mr. and Mrs. Morley Raines, Mr. and Mrs, Fred Phoenix attended the Milk Producers banquet held at the Seaway hotel in - Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Roddy Foster attended the Owen-Walker wedding in Port Perry on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Clifford Ward spent a few days in Toronto last week. We have two student teachers at our school this week--Marion Mor- ris and Betty Ann Houlston. Ernie Lee, also Robert Baird have recently moved into their new homes. Mr. and Mrs Wilbert St John, also Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Rodd and family attended the turkey supper at Sunder- land last week. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Canadian writers are also being wel- urday, and the air horn is now in use, comed by American television net- Harold Howsam on the birth of a daughter. Scugog "Head Memorial" held a very _ successful bazaar last week. Much thought and prepartion went in- to it; with the result that the whole community became involved, and it proved a very happy experience for all. It attracted visitors from the whole Island, Manchester, Prespect and Port Perry. Of course, they were not com- pletely sold out; but many of the gar- ments made and donated will gradual- ly be sold as Christmas approaches. Congratulations Ladies on a very suc- cessful venture. Our Father and Son Banquet last Friday in Manchester was a big suc- coss also. The meal was well planned, and every thing was good. In fact too good, as the temptation was casy to take too much. It was also good, be- cause so many were involved, and were brought together to render a service. The Chairman of the Group Committee, Frank Henry, took charge, and did a good job. Frank is develop- ing the powers of Leadership, and he does it in a gracious way. Toasts to the Queen and the Fathers were pro- posed and drunk. George Smith pro- posed the toast to the Fathers, which was. replied to by Leslie Smith his father. Tt was good training for the the boys, and we compliment George on the fine way he did it. The Head tabel was introduced, and then each father was asked to introduce himself. In all, there must have been approxi- mately seventy who sat down for sup- per. After the banquet, the program was held in the Auditorium, and com- menced with a sing-song led by the Minister. Allen Martyn (Akela) had charge of the Program, and in various certmonies he was assisted by Cath- arine Martyn, the Assistant Cub Mast- ' of leadership, and everything was] quite dignified and orderly. Catharine has just had a week-end at Camp Samac which will help her in her work. A number of Tenderpads were duly initinted, and discarded their white scarves for the regular ones, together with their various badges and insignia. Gradually all Tenderpads will be brought into the circle, and then we shall give a full list. Various boys re- ceived special badges for work done at home. Arnold Roach is our examiner, and is deing a fine job. J. D. Wither- spoon received badges for homecraft, swimming, cycling and athletics-- Kenneth Wilson, David Webster, and '1don Smith received the Collectors Badge-- Bill Diamond and Bill Holtby the Artist Badge --Walter Green, Don- ald Holtby, Brian Holtby and Kenneth Webster the Toy Maker's Badge-- Richard Franks and Beverley Vernon the House Orderlie's Badge. Also the following received their "Leaping Wolf" badge, and are now ready for Scouting. Richard Franks, Gordon and Beverley Vernon, George Smith iric Donnelly, Brian Holtby and Step- hen Henry. We were sorry that the following boys were not present; but will receive theirs at our next Cub meeting: Murray Croxall, Larry Sker- ratt and David Saunders. Our Scout Master is Jack Witherspoon, who will be assisted by Rev. Braham. These received the boys as they were intro- duced by their Akela. All boys who wera former Cubs are invited to meet with the Scout Master next Tuesday at 7.80 p.m. in the basement of Prospect Church:. It is recognized that we must creep before we walk, and 80 be. fore throwing membership open to everyone, and not be able to handle District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect at the start. We therefore ask all who are in sympathy with what is be- ing done for the communities, to ex- ercise a little patience, and give the leaders a chance to get the Troop per- manently organized. Our sincere thanks to the ladies of the Mother's Auxiliary; to our Group Committee, and to all the Fathers who supported us in coming and taking part. ' Next Sunday will be Rally Day at Scugog "Grace" and we cordially in- vite all boys and girls and all par- ents and friends to come and worship with us at 10.16 a.m. Brownies will meet Monday afternoons, and Cubs and Scouts on Tuesday evenings at at 7.30 p.m. The Oshawa Presbytery will meet next Wednesday at Almonds. Please note that Prospect W.A. has been postponed for a week and will meet at the home of Jean Holtby" on Thursday, November 20th at B.00 p.m. : Our Young Peoples Church Service will be held in the Gréenbank United Church on Sunday evening, November 30th at 8.00 pm. We have secured Mr. Ted Coldwell a Theology student guest speaker. Please ktep this date in mind and let us fill Greenbank Church.
