The law of the land in. Deuteronomy and Leviticus books of the old. Testament, provides for this Owning of the Harvest of grain, MM., and olives "That the 1.40.41. thy God may bless thee. 41.0. the work of thine hands," And in the book of 'Ruth is the beautiful story of the .Moabit'ess who clung to her rnother4n-law Naomi and returned with her to Bethlehem, To support them both Ruth went into the barley fields to glean. Noticed by Boaz, a rich kinsmen of her late husband, things were made easy for her and later they were married. What would some of us think to-day if our only means of livelihood were picking up the stray heads of grain or root crops left by the large mechanical reapers? Or the fruit left on treesoshrubs and vines? ,. We have grown so. rich and extravagant in this 'age on this continent that we very often fail to provide for the stranger. Social laws proVide the necessities of life for those in need. and not able to work, Companies .contribute to pensions for -employees, and soon, there will be insurance to cover us from cradle to the grave, We gripe about:. the cost of living rising, the higher hospital and medical insurance rates, the possibility of compulsory medicare in Ontario! We live in the rich province of Ontario, in a rich country, Canada, In fact the general thinking of those in charge of finance in government .and legislative circles, who spend the money, seems to be,that the public purse is bottomless. Lucy realizes that in some parts of Canada the people are comparatively poor and they work hard for a living—but perhaps they are more happy and content, Last year Lucy was in a room in Victoria Hospital with a young woman who was a native of Cape Breton Island, She said that she'd • like very much to go back home but she .couldn't have a car there, nor would there be the advantages for her children whom she was supporting in London. In Cape Breton there was no chance to advance financially she said, as all workers received the same wage. And there let us think of the stranger! In Nigeria, the Biafrans are dying at 'the rate of 6,000 per day. Do we read these heart rendering accounts in the daily papers, or do we think "That doesn't apply to - us". How happy the Biafrans would be to receive some gleanings .., If only 'a rich considerate "Boaz" of the times of ancient Israel would rise up in Nigeria and make it possible for gleanings from Canada and other countries to rescue the Biafrans from starvation, it would be _a cause for rejoicing. Lucy was remindectof Millet's picture when she watched gleamers at work at "The Hut". A blackbird landed in the black cherry tree at the end of a branch. - He peeked under the leaves and then walked down the branch to the, trunk, investigating every branch of leaves for any cherry or part of one left. Lucy thinks there had been others before him! She saw a corn tossel broken off so knew immediately that there was a borer at the cob on that stalk. "Where are those 'wretched starlings"? asked Lucy. "I pleaded for their lives last spring when 'Mr.' would have destroyed them".Come to think of it, no one had -seem them around lately! Sorneone had noticed large flocks of them out in the country. Next day. Mr. and Mrs. Starling and two young ones were walking up and down the lawn at regular spaces apart, gleaming ants from the numerous hills. That evening, a golden winged flicker put in his first appearance on the lawn 'to feast on ants, and now his son comes, too. If one watches wild life, one learns many lessons.

Reports were read ..by the secretary and treasurer. The disbursements. last year were greater than the receipts, Owing to , the large, expenditure of putting the park into' the excellent shape it is now-in, the Association feels this piece of land, through voluntary effort, has become an asset to the Village and all monies spent, completely worthwhile.

Increases of 2.53 mills in Public School, .77 mills in High School, 2 mills in Seperate School, .66 in the County rate and five mills in the General rate will result in a total mill rate of 80.31 mills for a residential public school supporter-. an increase of 8.96 mills.
