Jean Adams told a short 'history of two hundred years of Sunday School, Robert Raikes the founder, felt concerned in 1780 to do some- thing for the grim life of children working long hours six days a week. He began holding Sabbath classes teaching children how to read and write, telling Bible stories and lessons in good conduct and manners. Above all the children had something to do and they experienced attention and love from an adult for some this was a new experience. Although' Sunday School has grown and flourished in these 200 years, we still depend on teachers with love and devotion teaching our boys and girls of God's love and faith in Christ. & Candles on our birthday cake were lit by Mrs. Margaret VanCamp repre- senting the Sunday School teachers of the past; Mrs. Nancy McConnell, a teacher of today, and Boyd Vander- heul, a pupil of today looking RES meat hie! ¥, to the future.

The "'Some welfare recipients should work for benifits" - council Durham Region council voted unanimously last week to ask the federal and provin- cial governments to change legislation so that some welfare recipients would be required to perform work in the community in exchange _for their benefits. At present, legislation says that persons eligible for welfare do not have to do any kind of work or service for it. Durham council felt that changes in the legislation would do two things: give the community and the tax- payers some kind of return for the money paid in wel- fare benefits; and having recipients work. for their benefits would "heighten their dignity and self res- port St 235 Queen Street - Port Perry - 985-7383 Stationery & "Office Sueply pect, rather than demeaning it." The carefully worded resolution was prepared by Oshawa councillor Allen Dewar and John DeHart. The latter is chairman of Durham's Social Services Committee, and he told council last week that so far in 1980, welfare cases are up 18 per cent over last year. The motion calls for work to be performed by "employ- able" recipients, and would involve such tasks as tree planting, clean-up of public property, maintenance, repair and up-keep for senior citizens. The motions spells out that - such a program would not put anybody out of a job, as the kind of work normally would not be done by a municipality. The resolution will be forwarded to the Association of Municipalities in Ontario for endorsing, and this asso- ciation will send it on to all its members across Ontario for approval. This is not the first> time that Durham council has 'passed resolutions calling for changes in the federal and provincial welfare legis- lation. . A similar motion was passed last year, and just two weeks ago, council voted approval to a motion from Oshawa Mayor Jim Potti- cary which called for able- bodied recipients to be formed into .work batallions and also receive training from the Oshawa militia reserve regiment. - Commenting on the resolu- 1 council last le Scugog's regional councillor Reg Rose told councillors that al- though welfare recipients have a right to their benefits, there must be-a correspond- ing responsibility to make some kind of positive contri- bution to society in return. a -- a-- ) J 3 G.

"By Colin Ball Planning a vacation trip? Save mileage. Look for a ho- tel or campground close to where you live. Often it will provide as much of a change of routine as a resort that's hundreds of miles away. Some automatic transmission conditioners and sealerg are not compatible with original equipment transmissionfseal material. Check with your auto dealer before you use one. Power steering rarely re- quires expensive repairs or |' replacements, industry fig- ures show. When trouble shows up, it usually can be traced to low fluid or a faulty drive belt. Chattering noise at the rear of the car is usually from the differential. Low or conta- minated lubricant is often the cause (time fo' a- good grease job), but the problem could be more serious. Check your car's lights before you travel. Walk around the car and look at headlights, side marker lights, tail lights, license plate lights, and sig- nal lights. With a helper, check back-up and brake lights. It's easy to replace auto lamps at fuses. We're well stocked, and our expert mechanics are really on the ball. See us for all your car's needs.
