editorial comment we dont want it you can have it the narrowminded attitude tak en by our southern urban neighbors or thornhill in markham township and dunbarton in pickering town ship with regard to the proposed route of the new cnr bypass has caused some ill feeling among the more rural residents of the two muni cipalities the complainants have wasted few words in stating that a more northerly alternate route should be improvised one would tend to conclude that it would be perfectly all right for the rail line to cut near or through john browns farm but such a scheme is strictly taboo if it ventures close to jim smiths building lot or bungalow at a recent meeting of markham township ratepayers it was agreed that an alternate route should be considered by the cnr this sug gestion has been supported by coun cil we would state that if such an alternate line could be constructed in midair or underground it would be an excellent suggestion since this cannot be the case the bypass must naturally trespass on or near some ones private property it would be ridiculous to think that any alter nate route would not be met with an equal amount of resistance in pickering township reeve sherman scott has stated bluntly that he would favor the cancellation of plans for the proposed line but does not favor an alternate route to replace the present scheme council lor edgar james has echoed the reeves feelings on the issue their views on the matter brought dis gruntled mutterings from a dunbar ton delegation which was in attend ance at a recent meeting it may just be another instance where the squeaking wheel will get the grease provincial election in the offing while premier frost continues to maintain an uncommunicative silence on the question of an election it is generally accepted that the present government will go to the people this summer the government has taken a solicitous attitude in some depart ments which is indicative of an elec tion and a move to curry public favor liberals believe that when the election does come the conservative government will plan a campaign based on the premiers personality and popularity and his appeal the conservatives are evidently ready to trust in the premiers reputation and their past performances to return them to power the liberals while having been practically defunct in ontario for some years are showing signs of re juvenation and their recent conven tion was oozing with confidence they have been able to persuade a number of younger men to come forward as candidates ccf leader donald macdonald noted recently in an address a quick ening of political interest across the province but not with special appli cation to his party his oneman per formance in the sessions just ended succeeded in angering the usually placid premier but did gain some support from those who believe the government has been in power too long it would seem then that the scene is set for a provincial election of more interest than the last couple have had in this atmosphere the premier will be forced to act soon or leave himself open to the suggestion that he isnt anxious to test the strength of his famed personality will it be too late at least one member of the en gineering staff of the ontario de partment of highways placed a rec ommendation before the department that a stop light was necessary at the hew ringwood corner to date no ac tion has been taken what residents are wondering is whether or not the highway dept will wait until there has been a fatal ity at this bad corner before install ing the light already traffic is piling up at this corner on weekends and by summer time it will be a real tick lish problem for the traffic from high way 47 to converge with the traffic from 48 this is the junction of two heav ilytravelled provincial highways one now having a through run north and south unless a light is installed at this intersection accidents are a cer tainty and fatalities a strong possi bility stuffed birds a generation or so ago it was a common sight to see a stuffed owl or some other bird sitting in a prominent place in the parlor in those days such ornaments were quite popular stuffed owls would be sitting with a bland expression on their faces there would also be bright plumaged birds and animals such as gray squirrels and of course there would be the antlers of deer and moose these would be found not only in private homes but in lobbies of hotels etc the stuffing of these birds and animals was quite an art and the man who could do it would be kept busy they were amazingly lifelike and often attractive but they tended to become somewhat motheaten and us ually great dustcatchers the same applied to rugs made of skins of calves colts or wild animals nowadays such stuffing is limited to trophies of sportsmen who wish to retain visible proof of their prowess as a huntsman or fisherman in the earlier days stuffed animals and birds were regarded as ornaments rather than as evidence of the conceit of man income tax hike starts july 1 higher income taxes will fall on every taxpaying individual and company this year for the individual the in

lots of families mother picks up where the kids leave off the eternal question many years ago when a young minister i went to see a very sick man in a remote newfoundland settlement it was more than fifty miles from the nearest railway which ran only occasionally the people were kindly and hospitable but through no fault of their own extremely limited in educational advantages the poor man was suffering from some disease i did not understand and was in constant pain he suffered so much that his face was actually twisted out of shape in his distress of mind and body he had often wondered if there was a god of mercy and infinite love these misgivings he had passed on to the neighbours and so the word got around that he was a doubterplater some said he was an atheist this stigma deeply hurt him and his devoted wife doubt about the goodness and even the existence of god is a very reasonable thing some of the finest and most sin cere people who have ever lived have been assailed by doubts confronted with bitter experiences and deep disappointment they were staggered and bewildered this is the theme of the book of job as cruel misfortunes fell upon him he began to wonder whether there was any scheme in the world and openly voiced his concern he was for a time a sceptic a reverent sceptic bwt still a sceptic there have been millions like him if i may turn aside for a minute i should like to say that i have known scores of highminded sceptical men and women whose downright sincerity has deep- ly moved me the friends of job were little help to him many of their answers were smug and complacent they even implied that his misfortunes were divine punishment the picture is dra matic and almost cruel in its realism surely nothing in the world hiirts the cause of true religion more than the smug and silly answers some make to men wrestling with doubt the best tiling that can be said of these men is that when they saw how great was the affliction of job they sat upon the ground seven days and seven nights and spake not a word with him for they saw that his grief was very great i have buried a good many babes and little children dur ing my ministry and nothing has exasperated me more than to hear neighbours say to the bereaved you loved this child too much so god because jealous took it away could any thing be more callous or cruel then some years ago a man and his wife visiting niagara falls one sunday afternoon in winter were standing on a piece of ice when it snapped and drifted down the gorge to destruction several people wrote to the local newspapers pointing out that these people were pleasureseeking on the sabbath day and invoked divine displeasure it is hard to believe that in this day and age man can have such conceptions of the god that jesus revealed infinitely tender and loving the problem of suffering is as old as hu manity i revere and respect my brethren in the ministry most of them are sincere and intelligentmen bufwhen i hear a man saying believe in christ and everything will be per fectly clear all mysteries will be solved i feel he doesnt know what he is talking about jesus never professed to solve all mysteries all he did was to put a key into the hands of his followers to open and understand the love of god and to know that in spite of all suffering god is gracious he creates a mind and disposition of heart which makes it possible for us to accept the will of god with deepest faith in his wisdom and goodness cardinal newmans beautiful hymn suggests a christian frame of mind one of faith and trust i do not ask to see the distant scene one step enough for me our quotation today is a saying of jesus lie that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life marshall mcmurchy heads york county
