beginning- to make a reputation for itself the sport is volleyball last week sdss teams repeated the feat they accomplished the year before by winning the midget junior and senior titles in the york county championships the sport is not as widely known as some others and the yorkfinals were a good demonstration of topflight competition in the game coaches jimrehilland pete sanderson deserved credit for their efforts powerful unions and the political motivated nitpicking of such leaders as ndp stephen lewis mr lewis wants ontario to set up its own board to rule on wage settlements un doubtedly to give larger exemptions this would add further to the expense of the program besides making a shambles of the whole scheme should all provinces take the same stand however were sure that mr lewis is well aware of all this it would appear that in the final analysis it is to be big unions against the rest of the country they appear bent on grabbing a bigger slice of the economic pie than is their due unless government remains firm against this onslaught we could well all go down the drain together in the future no one is being asked to give up his or her job merely to exercise a little restraint is this too much to ask for the welfare of the country as a whole unions have been unduly fast off the mark with their denunciations of the program such defense of greed cannot be condoned the plan is put forward for the benefit of all to put the brakes on runaway inflation admittedly it will not be easy to pinpoint some violations but it is much too early to label the whole program as impossible bible thoughts or the week from the living bible then solomon built his own palace which took thirteen years to construct one of the rooms in the palace was called the hall of the forest of lebanon it was huge measuring 150 feet long 75 feet wide and 45 feet high the great cedar ceiling beams rested upon four rows of cedar pillars there were fortyfive win dows in the hall set in three tiers one tier abovetheother five to v a tier facing each7 other from three walls each of the doorways and windows had a square frame- 1 kings 715 5 viewpoint starting is the hardest part by don bernard false alarm is no joke one afternoon recently three stouffville fire department vehicles roared out of the station down main st to the 9th cone they pulled up in front of a house and where met by enforcement needed for t lower limit york region agreed last week to lower the speed limit on the bloomington rd on the sectionwestbf the 5th coric from 50 to 40 mph while we agree with a lower speed limit- because of the school entrance along that stretch we also feel that york regional police could be more diligent in patrolling that length of road the average speed of cars clocked along there was 64 mph trucks averaged 61 mph the old limit was 50 mph obviously stronger enforcement is needed to make the school entrance safe for school buses the startled occupants who had no idea why they were there the reason they were there is pretty obvious some joker had called in a phoney alarm chief walt smith dismissed the incident as being of no significance it is encouraging that pointless pranks such as this have not damaged the morale of stouffvilles rail j volunteer fire department t the volunteer firefighters provide an essential service at only the fraction the cost of a fulltime paid force they perform a tough job with wildly unpredictable hours and they do it ungrudgingly for very little financial reward the public spirit of the firemen is part of what makes a small town a community and not just a conglomeration of houses and businesses j it saddens lis to know that there are those who would so senselessly abuse this devotion to community the only encouragement we can take is that firemen have been able to put the incident in its proper perspective they ignore it a column writer is often faced with the problem what should i write about this week often inspiration fails other times the subject is very obvious but the question comes up where do i start a personal column should if honestly written reflect the feelings aspirations and even the personality of its creator it can be humorous anecdotal or weighty it may tell of some reallife incident or may be fictional it may deal in deep philosophical truths or may be frivolous sym most writers do articles covering thefulli gambit of these styles individual treatmehtj at that time i came in contact with some people who gradually over a number of months provided the proof i needed that god was really alive it was this witness that finally made me reexamine all my own pat ideas about god at a meeting in toronto on the third thursday in october i took the fateful step a heavy burden of life was taken from my shoulders and joy and peace filled my being god had responded to my challenge in university and made himself real to me you may be asking yourself why does he go over

saying that god had toprovehis existence to me beforel could believed- 7lvl the turning point- came just four years j ago almost to the week i wasa staffi repprterfor the newmarket era and tfaingss were starting to work out for me i enjoyed my m work and seemed to have settled in well atthe era jwhen a person finds the fabulous spiritual treasure jesus ist and this has been my experience in dealing with members of my own family they have listened patiently for the most part but failed to respond that is they failed to respond before last week the first person i shared my experience with four years ago was my sister venessa she is four years younger than i am she seemed bpento it but never really could embrace christ fully herself t she knew christ had brought a change in mylife needless to say we had been praying for- her and her boyfriend norm efforts at sharing the gospel with him seemed to meet a roadblock most of the time norm usually avoided meetings with us if he could s but just over a week ago it was apparent that something was starting to happen when i returned to my office after lunch and found a note on my desk its message was simple norms sister called and asked you to pray for venessa i had only met norms sister once and could not figure out how she even knew where to contact me it was just like god put that note on my desk i phoned johanna and told her the message she started to pray not knowing what was happening in erin where they live it was a busy day but once or twice i stopped at my typewriter to pray i got home late that night about 11 pm and was just getting ready for bed when the phone rang tojgi my surprise it was norm he had accepted christ as his saviour that day about the time we were praying i might add nt as we were talking on the phone my sister arrived home from work to say that she had herself accepted christ at about the same time in a washroom at work i was flab bergasted god had answered our prayers without us having done anything but pray norm who had had little use for me phoned me first to give me the news it is a wonderful thing when god touches another persons life but quite extraordinary when it is a member of you owhfamily it took four years of prayers but gpdanswerefl jri his time youmay not accept what i write it is a very personal thing but you can not easily account for it by coincidence or chance
