speech a debate or panel discussion re member the Reference Division of the Newmarket Public Libra ry Irene Librarian are writer be The Editor Box King City Jan I thought that your readers would like to know of the sud den end of the King City Wrestl ing Club and if they want to contest this sad event it will be up to them Out of a blue sky I received notice of eviction for the King City Wrestling Club to leave gym in the park in King City This notice came fron a new sec retary of the Lake Marie and King Athletic Association who is also a new trustee of King The resolution concerning this move apparently was passed at their annual meeting which did not attend because I was deliber ately not notified although I have been a member since After having been interested in work in Toronto I was asked to organize a boys club in King City in Then arrangements were made to build a gym in the unused up stairs part of an old barn in King City Park This was done on condition that I was to be in charge and that no expense was to be incurred for the owners of the property This condition has been strictly adhered to at all times The wrestling duo has bought its own equipment and maintain ed its own funds being a separ ate club When the gym was built there were no facilities for teaching physical drill and sportsmanship for which there is always a great demand At no time during nay three years as trustee of King City did a matter concerning the wrestling club come before the trustees This year I retired without a contest from the trustees board so that I would have more time to devote to the wrestling club The above action of terminat ing our activities by political spite is the thanks I get for help ing in the welfare of our com munity I am yours truly Bob Coach King City Wrestling Club i ABOUT THE FARMER AS A FORGOTTEN MAN The Editor Dear Sir That front page as sertion that the farmer is the forgotten man is something to ponder especially against the background fact that the same forgotten man by his ing supplies of food and fiber may in a very real sense be described as keeping the rest of us alive The fact that according to my reading percent of Canadas workers are in agriculture yet only win eight percent of the nations income not only sup ports the above bleak picture but also raises some doubts as to just how we expect todays pros perity to endure The gathering of the nation organ ized farmers in an annual con vention at Hamilton also made it crystal clear that the thrc mil lion Canadians on Canadas farms have not shared in the general prosperity levels of the past three years On the other hand if the record is to be kept straight it deserves to be recorded that this picture of ruralurban imbal ance is by no means copyrighted by our rural brethren for it has been the experience of their op posite numbers in the United States where according to the official figures in this country farm prices have dropped by onefourth since the Korean War peaks while the prices paid by farmers have come down scarcely at all Now sir there must be a basic cause behind this pattern Considering the absolutely es sential services which have been are at the present minute and will continue to be rendered by the farmers I am convinced that todays inability to get their ap propriate slice of the national income can be primarily traced to a the ageold silence of the primary producers the fact that they are perennially a min ority in the political and econ omic council where national policy is built on Parliament Hill and their yen for an outmoded individual approach to the wellorganized people they meet in the marketplace Student We stock up 3 iPrtVT feawpr a I- j i fe I so iw be value of of good tarktii How Urge population be Haw will interest Cm MORE ON THE SUBJECT OF MILLARD AVENUE The Editor Well at last the Millard Ave question has been settled Coun cillor has suggested that apart from the services the ex tension would bring to the Lyons subdivision a bus service could also be inaugurated This seems like a sound idea and I would suggest also that a service sta tion or two be considered for the hollow at the footbridge or any thing else that comes to mind Most of the residents on Mill ard were against the extension They seemed to feel that because they paid premium prices to get into the area and had some as surance given them that the street would remain choice the motion would not pass How naive can one get They must surely realize that in these mod ern times ones word is not to be taken too seriously Mr Choppin one of our councillors said so himself Presumably he wishes his words taken in like These people must one clay learn that if our town council sees fit to put a railroad down their street then so be it They were not to come into Newmarket in the first place and if they dont care for our version of wellplanned expan sion then they are free to elsewhere This letter may be a better idea than at first appears be- cause presumably most of them do their shopping elsewhere any way They dont seem to like our modem wellstocked stores not to mention the lack of a brewers warehouse and store Let this and other things be a lesson to home owners in New market It is not the first time our representatives have approv ed a questionable motion Why only five years ago when the fire hall burned down a new one was built smack in the same spot on the busiest street in town They are lucky to get to a fire under the circumstances especially on Friday night and Saturday shopping hours For tunately we do not have fires at these times It is easy to see that the lack of sound planning in such mat ters as it has existed in the past prevails as well today and any one who cannot it must be quite blind- Well we dont want blind smug people here anyway They think because they live here they ought to have some protection for their rights their properties their equities and their families So I say a bus line for Millard a couple of service stations near Mr new home and Ill think of something for Mr Chop- pin C Roy Keys Millard Ave Editors Note The old hall was torn down have prayed for the- Luke 2232 How encouraging is the thought of the Redeemers never ceasing intercession for us When we pray He pleads for us and when we are not praying He is advocating our cause and by His supplications we are shield ed from unseen dangers Notice the word of comfort to Simon Peter Simon Simon Satan hath desired to have thee that he might sift thee as wheat hut I have prayed for thee He did not say Go and pray for yourself but rather did He as sure Peter that he had prayed for him We little know we owe to our Saviours prayers When we reach the hilltops of Heaven and look back on ail way the Lord has led us how we shall praise Him who before the Throne undid the mischief which Satan was doing on earth We shall surely thank Him that He never held His peace but day and night pointed to the wounds upon His hands and pointed to the place where our names were engraved upon His breastplate Even before Satan had begun to tempt Jesus had forestalled him and entered a counterplea in heaven Mercy outruns malice Mark He does not say to Peter Satan has sifted you and therefore I will pray for you that you might have some help He checjes Satan in his very desire and nips it in the bud He does not say I have a desire to pray for you but He makes it very plain I have prayed for you I have done it already I have en tered a plea your behalf even before an accusation is made What a comfort this is that He has pleaded our cause against our unseen enemies counter mined their mines and unmask ed their ambushes Here is a matter for joy and sincere gra titude hope and confidence William Elected
