settled purpose and plan in the work of salvation What would have creation been without His design Is there a fish in the sea or a fowl in the air which was left to chance for its formation Nay in every bone joint and muscle sinew gland and blood vessel you mark the presence of a God working everything accord ing to the design of infinite wis dom And shall God be present in creation ruling over all and not in grace Shall the new creation have the fickle genius of free will to preside over it when divine counsel rules the old creation Look at Providence Who not that a sparrow falleth to the ground without your Father Even the hairs of your head are all numbered God weighs the mountains of our grief in scales and the hills of our tribulation in balances And shall there be a God in pro vidence and not in grace Shall the shell be ordained by wisdom and the kernel be left to blind chance No He knows the end from the beginning He sees in its appointed place not merely the corner stone which He has laid in fair colors in the blood of His dear Son but He beholds in their ordained position each of the sen stones taken out of the quarry of nature and polished by His w can do the job

of or more Allow ance was made for repairs and re placements which are available from only one source and for routine requirements where tend ers are not necessary unless the monthly expenditure is over Mr referred to the suggestion as one of those pet things of Mr adding that it is just a lot of nonsense He reminded council that the question had been raised last year and had been defeated is operating a public corporation and all the people in terested in a big contract have the right to tender on it said Mr in introducing the lion It is an unsound procedure OUR READERS write Dear Editor Well it that some of the council members dont think Mr I just saw three the town taxes are high enough bids on trucks gravel and sand What about culverts and road materials got three prices on salt and stone replied Mr I didnt mean this motion to be critical said Mr It serves no purpose to go over de tails of the past policy To have a sensible business procedure is the ordinary thing What we have been doing uncontrolled purchasing is the extraordinary thing Councillor Lome Paynter sup ported the motion saying that he saw nothing wrong with it He said the proper purchasing proce dure would be a safeguard for all Mr Paynter seems to have changed his position on this sub ject replied Mr Wrightman heard Mr was doing some lobbying that he was speaking to members of council He didnt speak to me To ensure the sound spending of the taxpayers money a defin ite policy for purchasing must be established argued Councillor George Knapton It would let the taxpayer know and it would take out of council a lot of the to phone around and get bids from sarcasm we have heard here people you know Someone may have come to town recently in its prepared place and how vast the edifice shall be and when the top stone shall be brought forth with shoutings of Grace Grace unto it At the last it shall be clearly seen that in every chosen vessel of mercy Jehovah did as He willed with His own and that i in every part of the work of grace the He accomplished His purpose and glorified His own name HOW BOUT THAT By RALPH TEE LIKE TO GET IT BACK AS SOON YOU KNOW HOW PLEASED I AM AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I CAN DEPENDABLE SERVICE tor in town The contractor said he had not had an opportunity to bid on certain town work Mr Wrightman asked if council would want a town truck to sit by the roadside for a couple of days while bids were obtained on tires if one blew out year I opposed a similar resolution said Councillor George But after a year on council I feel we should put purchases on a sound business basis Did you see anything last year that was not done in a business like manner asked the reeve I dont feel three bids were Everyone has said plenty as on all materials replied posed the resolution usual commented DeputyReeve Violet when her opinion on the question was re quested by Mayor Gladman Too much time is spent on nothing Mrs said she was against the motion She Suggest ed it would be ridiculous to have to get all purchases of or over W took until tonight to finish the accounts with all the arguing back and forth said Mr I have seen deben tures for go through with out a question not even one from Mr Ridler spent on Andrew St and no one asked a question but buy some sand or shovel handles and everyone is up he said The reeve and deputyreeve op- WHEN MV CAR IS LAID UP I YOU GAVE ME ITS TOO BAD THAT EVERY ONE DOESNT KNOW OF THE KIND OF THAT YOU BOYS BIVE HIM IN NEWMARKET MOTORS Raises For County Councillors Puts Budget Item To 20000 so they are forcing a vote on the booze question on the people as they couldnt get enough names on the petition which was circulated around town some lime ago trying to get booze sold in town Since they are forcing a vote on the people they might at least wait until the next council election and cut down expenses The ones forcing the vote should have to pay the expenses That Bradford is taking so much business away from New market because they sell booze is the most ridiculous statement I ever heard If it were true Bradford should be about a hundred times bigger than New market after all these years of their supposedly taking business away from Newmarket A person who overeats isnt hurting anyone but himself but the person who drinks too much is a menace to every one he comes in contact with and the tragic part of it is that is the sober persons who are most of ten injured or killed not the one who did the damage It it is such a good and thing why is it that no one ever advertises for a person who is a drinker while most em ployers dont want one who drinks What would you think of a person who said that a group of people having a party in a room where there was no booze would drink more group having a party in a room where there was plenty of booze to be had Or a person who would expose his children to rattlesnakes be cause he wanted them to get used to them and know what they were like It is not the drunken bum staggering down the street that starts other people drinking it is the ones who think they can take a drink and leave it alone That is how the poor drunken bum started he never intended or thought he could ever come to that I am not having my name printed as I havent time to be bothered with a lot of let ters and phone calls AROUND CORNER MAIN ST SOUTH MENS QUALITY PANTS 2848 Reg to
