Dp 1 PE bri HE ene AER BEES aid rae La Es pp Fr Ca i # al This Was a Good Week THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE ES Thursday, November 5th, 1959 a Outstanding Achievement One of the things that Western capital- ism can really be proud of is the work of the World Bank, Too little has been said and too little has been written about the outstanding contribution this organization has made and is'making towards the build ing of a better world, ho It is currently making loans to the poor- er and the less developed countries at the rate of some $700 million a year and it is . expected that this: will be increased to . $1000 million. So far the World Bank has made loans in some six hundred projects in fifty different countries to the tune of $4,500 million dollars. Since the member countries must contribute at least an equal share, it is safe to assume that the World Bank has contributed directly to the creation of some $10,000 millions of new resources. : These resources are in the fields of trans- «port, power, agriculture and heavy indus- try. Such projects as have been undertaken. - represent sound endeavours which are cer- tain to contribute to further development, Although money has been distributed to many different members of the African, the Latin American, and the Asian com- munities, the bulk of the investment has been in India. This seems entirely proper for the successful completion of the vast development programme of the.Indian Gov- ernment is of the first importance for the pS ~~ The-world had a good week this week. Khrushchev agreed that Soviet troops ~ should leave Hungry. DeGaulle finally got his Algerian policy thought out and reason- ably well expressed and on its way. The Labour Party started recovering from its 3 death blow with the happy realization that, after all, in all its fifty-nine years it has only once had a clear majority. Fidel the Cuban 'Tequilla Daisy stopped bullying the US with his tongue. The Middle East was quiet and Israel and the Arab League hated each other in sullen silence. There was a slight disturbance on the Indian Frontier Notes and Comments | i Western world.- If we cannot help Indians teaming millions, then Communism seems the logical alternative, It has been said. with some authority that Western capital survival is dependent on the success of this gigantic experiment." The Soviet has now offered to step in with a credit of some $400 million, but it was the World Bank ~ who came to the rescue when it appeared that the second five year plan was doomed to failure through lack of adequate funds. The World Bank has a very creditable record when it comes to diplomacy, too. It was Mr, Eugene Black, President of the World Bank, who brought to an end the dis- pute between India and Pakistan over the waters of the Indus basin; it was Mr, Black who brought the UK and Egypt together over the disputed claims arising out of the Suez Canal confiscation, There is one dark cloud on the horizon though. The World Bank charges the bor- rowing countries six per cent plus a fee for overhead. The Bank itself borrows money in the world's financial markets against the pledges of the contributing nations. However, it will no longer be possible * should the rates go beyond a certain fixed level for the Bank to borrow and the whole business of helping the starving peoples of the world through its operation might come to a sudden halt and this must not happen. .

At Tuesday's meeting of Council it was decided to submit the question of granting a franchise to Mr. Fred DeNure and agreeing on a subsidy of $3,000 to the property owners of the Town. Town Solicitor J, L. Staples read the proposed agreement clause by clause. ART LATCHAM PREPARING TO BUILD LIONS CURLING RINK FOR STOUFFVILLE Mr. Arthur Latcham, Stouffville's number one benefactor, has presented the Stouffville 'Lions Club with the proposal to erect a Curling Rink for the community, Mr. Latcham made this important announcement before the local club at their regular meet- ing on Monday evening. The meet- ing was attended by a number of mer- chants who were guests of the mem- bers. Mr, Latcham said that while no concrete plans for the Rink had been prepared, it was likely that the ice would accommodate four to six sheets. Lion President Walter Pipher said that the Club Directors would meet with Mr. Latecham to work out details of the proposal for presentation at a later meeting, Stouffville has already benefitted from Mr. Latcham's generosity to the province. He made possible the flood- lights in the ball park, the new grand. stand, P.A, system, picnic shelter, re- freshment booth, and latest of all, the wonderful swimming and wading pools. He is an honorary member. of the Stouffville Lions Club, and a cairn in his honor was erected in Stouff- ville Park several years ago. emye---- MILLION GALS, OF WATER FROM STOUFFVILLE NEW WELL © Following reports from Mr. C. H. Rutledge, water expert, | Stouffville Public Utilities Commission 'author ized the signing of.a contract for the drilling of a well with 22" caging in diameter, Cost of the new project will be approximately $16,000. In ad- Doings stated that he felt certain, after the tests he had made at the reservoir property, that approximately a mil- lion gallons of water per day could be looked for from this well. The Commission met with Mr, Rutledge both Saturday and Tuesday to discuss the project prior to the signing of the contract. The minimum contract is $7,600 to assure 350 gallons of water per min- ute and the maximum the P.U.C. can be called on to pay is $16,000 for one million gallons per day. There is no additional cost should the well pro- duce better than the million gallons. UXBRIDGE LIBRARY 100th ANNIVERSARY A century of literary service is be- ing completed this year as the Ux- bridge Free Library celebrates its 100th anniversary. Founded in 1859 in Temperance Hall, the library was first known as the Mechanics' Insti- tute. Mr, Joseph Gould, who later made provision in his will for the erec- tion of the present building, was the first chairman. A descendant of Mr. Gould has continuously served on the Board of Trustees, the present nmem- ber being his great grandson, W. H. Gould, well-known Uxbridge council- lor. Temperance Hall served as a lib- rary for nearly 30 years before the present building was erected in 1887 and named the Joseph E. Gould In- stitute. The Institute was declared to be the first of its kind in the Pro- vince of Ontario by the Hon. Mr. Ross, then minister of education for Ontario and the library was claimed at that time to be the best in the Province for the size of the town, In 1898 it RABIES LOSS TOTALS $5,245 IN ONTARIO COUNTY Valuations have been completed in Ontario County for rabies losses suf- fered by residents on or after April 11, 1968.

This figure includes valuations on 42 cattle--$5,105; 7 sheep--$210; 1 horse--3$756; 1 swine--$35, making a total of 561 animals. The chairman of the committee in charge of such pay- ments is Mr. R.

If the question is passed, it' would not be effective until 1061. ings that there were not sufficient postal delivery units installed in the It was stated that 84 per cent of the houses in the arcas to be served by mail had to be supplied with the mail delivery units--either Despite the long delay in the bring- ing in of the new system, in the last few weeks a shroud of secrecy was thrown around the proceedings with émployees of the local post office re- fusing to give out any information. However last week-end Hon, Michael Starr confirmed the fact that thé starting their Anglican Notes By Mary Becker Mrs, McClintock, who Has recently retired after many years as organist and choir-leader in the Church of the Ascension, was honoured at a gather- ing of the parish after Evensong last Sunday night. Mr. C. A, Glass pre- sented her with a gold watch, on be- half of the parish. It bore the in- scription "For faithful service". The members of the senior choir gave Mrs. McClintock a corsage and a cup and saucer, the presentation being made by Mrs. Hayes. The Junior choir had earlier presented Mrs. McClintock with a china figurine as a token of their regard for her. The evening ended with a pleasant social hour, re- freshments being provided by the Evening Guild. We are happy to report that the Girls' Auxiliary will get underway this Friday, Nov. 6th, at 4 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Mrs, G. Sebben, Mrs. F. Baker and Mrs. G. Morrow will act as joint leaders. This group is open to girls of 12 to 17 and it is hoped that a number of our girls will plan to attend. The Avea Young Peoples' Associa- tion will hold their inaugural service at Prince Albert Church this Sunday, November 8th, at 8 p.m. (not seven, as previously stated). Our teenagers are encouraged to attend. We feel that a Young Peoples' Group within our own church is very much needed --we need to feel that we belong to our own group before we can take an effective part in wider area activities. Mr. Fuller is planning :to call a meet- ing for this purpose in the fairly near future. Several of the girls in the parish have shown an interest in this, but so far none of the boys. Such a group should be a mixed organization, so boys, when you are approached, give this some thought and come out and see what it is like. The election of a third Bishop for our Diocese will take place in Toronto on Tuesday, November 9th. Our lay delegates, Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Brunton, are expected to be attending, together with Mr. Fuller. This elec- tion is of importance to us, since the new Bishop will, we hope, be devot- ing a good portion of his time to the parishes, like ourselves, which are in the Diocese of Toronto, but outside the metropolitan area of the city. November Notes: The Evening Guild will meet on Monday, November 9th at the home of Mrs. Lowcock; the W.A. on Tuesday, Nov. 10th in the afternoon at the Parish Hall; and the Sunday School Teachers' Group on Thursday, Nov. 12th at the home of Mrs. Dowson, at 8 p.m. The service of Public Baptism will take place on | Sunday, Nov. 22nd. The annial | Christmas Bazaar of the Evening ; Guild will take place on Saturday, November 28th. Mrs, Hayes has been asked to open the Bazaar. The Afternoon Guild met Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, at a special evening meet- ing which was a shower for the Ba- zaar. Details will be reported next week. We think a special word of thanks is due to Mrs. A. Dowson for her ex- cellent work of organization in the Sunday School this year. She has in- troduced a number of good new ideas and eliminated much confusion by her planning. Those who teach appreci- ate the increased efficiency which has helped to overcome the difficulties presented by lack of space. "We are happy to see Dr. Lundy back among us, after his sojourn in i hospital in Toronto, The newly-formed ministerial asso- ciation of the area will meet on Fri- day, Nov. 6th at 2 p.m. in our Angli- can Rectory. There will be a study led by the Rev. P. Romeril of the | United Church, Blackstock. | Where is our Men's Club? We haven't noticed any signs of life at all this year. There must be some form in which the men of our church could meet for fellowship, possibly for study, and even for money-raising "activities. The parish was saddened this week by the death of little Ricky Knight. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the family in their loss. I. Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Neal of Mt. Forrest were gucsts of Mr. and Mrs. J. Mitchell Saturday afternoon. Mrs. A. Sutcliffe, Mrs. F. Kendall, Mrs. J. Philips, Mrs, B. Mitchell and Mrs. J. Mitchell attended the turkey supper at Kinsale Friday. ,| Mrs. B. Mitchell and family called on Walt Mitchells' of Brooklin one afternoon. .

The gray massive clouds are drifting by, but there are patches of blue in be- tween, and every once-in-a-while, the sun shines through. Every day is dif- ferent, and life is full of surprises. Our new Winter Schedule met with a good response on Sunday, and if the children on the Island hadn't slept in, we could have reported four wonder- ful congregations. It is a long time since we had so many at Manchester, and the Junior Choir was on hand al- most 100%. Thanks David for join ing us, and making your contribution. Prospect Church was nearly full, and Scugog Head at evening was about two-thirds. Our new series of studies are meeting with quite a response. And after all, religion is the most fasci- nating and interesting subject which we can study. Our theme at the morn- ing services was: "What is the mean- ing of death?" and at the evening "Why should we bother about death?" There is so much evidence pointing to the fact that death is not the end; that it is wisdom to face it now, and do some thing about it. The Bible teaches that death is the result of sin, and that after death comes the judgment. Why live in a fool's paradise then, and ig- nore the fact that for every idle word and foolish deed, we shall have to give an account? "However, we may try to evade God here, at death we stand naked before Him, with all our ecamou- flage torn away. Our theme next Sunday will be: "Why do we believe in Life after Death", and if time al- lows, go on to speak about "Eternal Life". We invite all who are interest- ed to come, and study, and worship with us. Many thanks to those who brought flowers for our churches; and to our Island Choir for leading in song at both morning and evening services. Everyone who is interested, is invited District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect to Prince Albert United Church on Sunday evening at 8 p.m. The Prince Albert choir will lead in song, and Mildred Martyn, assisted by the Presi- dent of our area Young People's Ex- ecutive, Garnet Parrot, and John Pick- ard, Carol Smith and others, will have charge of the service. Rev. E. W. Fuller will preach. There will be a social hour after. The Young People are most anxious that this first ser- vice for the winter should have a good start, and we do ask Mother and Dad to take an active part and bring the family. Last week the Island went bowling, and cleared over thirty dollars, to be used in Girls' work. It was a lovely evening, with lots of fun, and a very tasty lunch provided by the ladies in the "Head" Church. Let us do it again soon, and remember the boys this time. Our new Cub Pack needs quite a lot of equipment, the most important is a Totem Pole, which will cost about $20. We look forward to another banquet on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Man- chester Chureh, when all our Cubs and Scouts and Fathers, will have their Third Annual Father and Son Ban- quet. We have always had a very fine support from our fathers, and we look for a total gathering of about 85. For those who may be interested, our Island Pack meets in Centre Church basement at 4.30 p.m. on Tuesdays, and in the Manchester Church base- ment at 7.30 p.m. Our Scouts meet in Manchester every Monday evening at 7 p.m. We have not given up the idea of forming a Brownie Pack for the Manchester area; but we are still wondering whether the girls of the area are interested! Our Brownies meet on the Island on Mondays at 4.30 p.m. and they have a lovely time, and the Guides meet at 7 p.m. By the way, in our new Pack of Cubs on the Island, we have thirteen, and if three at the Sunday Service on the 20th, other boys who are of age, who would join us, we would have sixteen. Next year there will be four boys old enough to join. Boys may become Cubs at eight years old. ; On Wednesday afternoon the Scugog "Head" will hold their bazaar and Bake Sale in the Church Hall at 3 p.m. Invitatioons have been sent out to many of our W.A's, Next week Fri- day evening at 8,00 pm.

There will be a special of- offering for "M. & M. Fund." We would like very much if our four W.As, would make contributions to this Fund We are glad that the sick in Oshawa' Hospital are mending.
