Describing the washroom project in a less than serious way. Mr. Cafik said that there is nothing wrong with federal aid programs. The problem lies, he said, with councils which are too busy playing party politics to take a chance on the Liberal government getting credit for anything. In a press conference at his Pickering home Mr. Cafik advised voters to be sure they elect people to council on October 1 who are able to get along with other people. We live in a federal system, he said, and it is aid imporiant that elected people realize that so they can take advantage of the money Ottawa has for cer- tain municipal projects. "I hope the councils in my riding will be able to co- operate with me," he com- mented. VOTE Asselstine Area Councillor Costs up (continued Big governments according to Mr. Cafik who member of the biggest of all, have a tendency to build up huge beurocracies which take things out of the tax- payers hands. He called on the people running for office to deter- mine that they will consider ways of preserving the real history of the area. "I don't think there are very many people who will feel an allegiance to Durham. People do feel an allegiance to places like Brougham, Claremont or Uxbridge."

This was the rayer of Neirbur Reinhold an American Theologian. We cannot know if he asked this in relation to the hysical being or of the conditions surrounding it. But o doubt we can each interpret it to suit our.own eeds. We've all at some time marveled at the calmness with which a handicapped friend accepts his handi- ap. And we've also watched pridefully as someone hrough sheer determination has. struggled and won--to rise above his poverty and the inferiority eelings suffered because of it. Surely then, our first glimmering of acquired wisdom comes, when we've learned to look beyond the im of our own shadow and into the realization that, 0 one can claim immunity to defects and problems. And, while some frailties must be worn like a varicolored dunce-cap, there's also those--not ap- As we yearn for sandals made of straps and string necessity dictates, and leads us to those places known as, Orthopaedic shoe shops. This one word can produce the picture -- there's always a sameness. A mall "back-street shop housing an assortment of well-kept and probably expensive machinery. A bare oiled floor. A couple of chairs, straight-backed and wooden. An aged rubber-plant or an aspidistra, and a trand of philodendron reaching pathetically toward he ray of light that sifts through a dusty window.

SRE As we wait we study them all--each last on the shelf, and its shoe in the making. For we know so well hat everyone is the symbol of somebody's private hell. Yet, we're filled with a mixture of gratitude and resentment. Grateful for the help of such places and resentful that we need them. Then one day something happened. We entered the shop and shared the tiny waiting-room with a man -- young, good-looking and mpeccably groomed. Our thoughts immediately placed him as doing an errand for someone else. But soon, the shoemaker emerged from his inner sanctum--greetings were exchanged and the young : man began to undress his foot. Removing a standard : shoe, a pliable half-shoe, several socks used for : cover-up and a metal form. And from somewhere amid this he'd lifted an emaciated footless leg. As we watched, that Still Small Voice was mocking us with -- and with the needed humbling effect "I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet." This without doubt was a problem beyond modern treatment and a man and his shoemaker had come to terms. * All Other Sale Items On Sale NOW through September 29th.
