staff sevenleen year old randy mole is the vi ce president on the execulivfl of hie slouffville high school students council now in grade 12 he was the grade 11 form representative last year staff tholo approximately 100000 onta rio hunters are graduates of the hunter safety training course summer holidays nancy paul 12 b when i first learned that i was to write an essay on my summer holidays i joined the rest of my class in a prolonged groan of dismay for ever since grade one this is the topic al ways thrust upon us after the holidays have ended i also groaned because like almost everyone else i could not think of one thing to say for really 1 have done noth ing on my holiday nothing worth writing about unless you could include helping my youn ger brother build a tree house or bringing in three fields of hay in my older brothers 1928 ford truck or swimming in a new pool zealously and tenderly cared for by the whole family then there was the exhilarating moment when i first got up on skiis behind a powerful speed boat skimming over the water with a brisk breeze blowing a fine spray of water into my face i guess you could not include how i lelt when i first learned to drive a standard car without sending my passengers neatly through the windshield or rid ing along a shady bridle path on my own horse or when i gasped at the beatles in maple leaf gardens or even the time i had coffee on the coast guard cutter the spray in the toron to yacht club harbour even as i write more and more memories are flooding my mind which ten minutes ago was a complete blank it may be that in most peoples eyes i have done nothing all summer but i have certainly had a great deay of pleasure doing it questions tuid answers q do you feel that there has been a general religious decline in our society a definitely today more than ever before society has ruled the life of the individual and society has placed its re gulations on how to act and more commonly on morals in former years religion was the basis of mans beliefs but today man has accustomed his life to fit in with the society in which he lies today religious worship has become another symbol you go to church to make it look good even if you have no be liefs religion has become treated too lightly it is the butt of jokes at parties it is the gossip of what mrs so- andso wore last week and how foolish she looked religion has now become overrun by scientific theories and a great weakness in the church has thus developed the decline of religion is the result of a society of people un able to untangle the web of religious and scientific strife lynda dafoe 11b a our religion has degene rated partly because of the effects of modern science and also because it has not accept ed change in the same manner that science has if science were to be put into the same position religion is now je would still be believing that the earth is flat it should be expanded modified even re adjusted to meet the change of thought in our society instead of remaining archaic absurd and stale man kind has not been abla to adjust to tlie rapid change ot the past fifty years and in the same way the church has not adjusted to the more criti cal way in which we look at our supposed beliefs the fact that we are more aware of the roots of our religion now and that we look upon it in a different manner than we did 500 or even 50 years ago leads to the conclusion that there are limitations ideas not yet discovered a more critical and mode rate look at our religion has resulted because of the modern conditions o our way of life the influence of such men as darwin freud and the fact that we see incongruities in our religion the church tries to define religion in terms no lon ger applicable to our society and in many respects it teaches its principals in an infantile manner science has had a greater appeal for people in explaining the unexplainable but there is no reason why tho two could not be combined be cause science misses the good points of religion and religion misses the good points of sci ence what is needed is moro toleration of variety of opinion in short religion has declin ed because it has become an empty symbol an ideal that man will always search for but will never find in service station business twentysix yea harry boadway leaves unionville site unionville back in the days when gasoline sold for about 25 cents a gallon and cars werent as complicated as they are today harry boadway started business in a service station at the corner of kenne dy road and no 7 highway in unionville today 26 years later harry boadway leaves the building that was his employment and leaves with it a quartercentury ot goodwill and service that he has built up in the community boadways esso station a familiar landmark on that cor ner will remain but under a different operator its been a long hard struggle hut harry made it work he started business in ja nuary 1940 just after the be ginning of the second world war his station was a small- twobay building with a gravel yard leading to a gas pump today the building painted in traditional red and while esso colours boasts four bays and five pumps with paved drive ways he was alone when he start ed in 1940 working from 730 am to 5 pm there are six men on permanent staff today with a part time helper when harry first opened his garage as was the custom he held a big ceremony and sold 200 gallons of gas thai in those days was big business it i could pump 50 gallons a day when i first started he said i would be well off now harry purchases in the neighbourhood of 400000 gal lons a year and pumps approx imately 1200 gallons a day unionville has not grown at a rapid speed but harry can see changes in the last 26 years across kennedy road where it once was fields is now a row of homes cars simple in 1910 cars were simpler lhan they are today every thing was pretty standard in operation now the cars are easier to drive and have more luxuries but theyre harder to maintain because of the intri cate complications in such things as automatic transmis sion power steering brakes and windows there just werent as many things that could go wrong then harry said one of the big problems that plagued mr boadway during the war was trying to obtain tires there were very few available and in order to fill his requests he was patching and repatching older tires the things we passed off as tires would astound the motor ist today he recalled gasoline prices remained fair ly steady throughout the war years but since then have been slowly but surely increasing todays price at boadways is 419 cenls on regular gallonage last summer during a six- week gas war prices wera about 8 cents lower and harry would average about 4000 gal lons a day in sales prices in the unionville area still are not in line with some stations sel ling for less than others how ever the difference is not as severe as during the gas war time to relax harry has fifty acres of red pine in the area which he plans to prune after lie leaves the service station business he al so plans to help his son carman on the farm i might as well enjoy my self while i still have good health he said so harry boadway goes in to semiretirement but hell remember the friends he has made but most ot all the peo ple will remember him harry says thanks to his many friends and customers for their patronage after over a quarter century of servioe in his many cwdnrocrs harry roadway esso dealer al inioiivillc mild ids lait gallon nf gasoline on sunday his station has become a landmark at iha kennedy road and ilwy no 7 intersection since he first opened it back to 1s39 stall iliotu
