But they had more trouble reaching a consensus on the issue of gun control. Discussion of the matters arose when a letter from the Town of Collingwood was PLAN CANVASS The campaign for March of Dimes was main feature of the brief business session at the January meeting of the Hensall and District Kinettes. This campaign will be held on the evening of Monday, January 30. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Donna St. John and opened by Mrs. Sharon Fink leading in the Kinette Song. Following this, two new members, Mrs. Fiona Mock and Mrs. Debbie Regier were welcomed into the club. Sales barn Supply at the Hensall Sales Barn consisted mainly of heifers and steers with an active demand and steady prices. Fat cattle; heifers $43.50-$47.00, top to $50.25; steers, $47.00 - $50.00, top to $50.80. Pigs; Weanlings $40.00-$46.25; chunks $48.25- $54.50. dJ n 1111111 h i«1111 n HHHiHinnniHi u the the tabled. The letter requested council’s indorsation of a resolution calling on the Federal government to re instate the death penalty for capital murder; establish effective control on the purchase and possession of firearms; and abolish the granting of passes for convicted criminals. Council was unanimous in supporting the first part of the resolution. “It’s getting out of hand, the way they kill policemen” councillor Harry Klungel said. “I’m all for it (capital punishment)”. But on the matter of gun control, he felt differently. Such control would be an infringement on people’s basic freedom, he said. “I have to take a test to drive a car” Reeve Harold Knight argued. “Why shouldn’t I have to take a test to own a gun?” In the end, Reeve Knight’s argument proved per suasive, and council voted to endorse the Collingwood resolution.

Village building inspector Herman Van Wieren told council Monday night that the present by-law, which hasn’t been reviewed for some time, has “not much in it”. The lack of detail in the bylaw leaves open the possibility that an individual could choose to certain regulations. Van Wieren said confusion over the side yards, and noted this could cause problems. He suggested a new by-law should spell out many of the regulations contained in the building code. Van Wieren said Hensall’s fee schedule for building permits is the lowest of the five municipalities for which he is building inspector, and said the fees provided nothing for council once inspection costs were paid. Reeve Harold Knight agreed building permit fees did not compensate the village for administration costs, but said “we’re not too far in the hole”. A new by-law will be drafted with the help of Van Wieren, and will be given first reading at council’s February meeting.

' ■ Start new study tiomecare a BUILDING was was ISTHS best tin® The new study book, “New Mission for a New People” was introduced by Mrs, Don Joynt at the January meeting of Unit one of Hensall United Church on Thursday, January 12. She described the vast, and scattered region covered by the Caribbean crescent and the difficulties in a communication between its people. Altogether, there are 7,000 out-islands, reel's and mainland compose crescent. In the territories were used as military and naval bases. Trading in gold, silver, and precious stones was active; as these resources declined, sugar cane was planted and run by forced labour of native Indians who even tually perished under harsh treatment received. Labour was brought from Africa’s Coast, India, China, tugal, Syria, Indonesia, centres that the Caribbean past, these the they then West Por- Europe, British Isles Holland. Today, language, music, art and religion are derived from all these countries and ancient cultures are disregarded. The book’s author, David Mitchell, hopes that the modern Caribbeans will cultivate these diverse cultures and that North Americans will learn through their study, to un derstand and know these people in their present day situations and remove many misconceptions. The devotional was given by Mrs. Ken Elder, who presided over the meeting. Her subject was “Things come to pass.” The story of life is like an ocean port with ships coming and going. Everything in -life passes, pleasures, sorrows failures, success, pain, anxieties, troubles. We must strive to add to life riches and wor thwhile living. Only the love of God does not pass.
