Church News: A note on the Penitential Service This service was brought into being when • in 1959, B.C.P. came into use. It replaces the old Commination Services of 1549 which many dislike. It has the finest "Exhortation" of Anglican l-listory. It has been used or paraphrased in • other parts of the Anglican Communion. Lent is the time, when, as a community of God's people, we strive to turn back to the pledge made in Baptism to live a Christian life. This is required of us in 1980. IODE chooses of officers The February meeting of the . Sarah Hale Chapter, IODE held in' the .Agricultural Office ' was also the annual meeting.

' Following the regular meeting, Evelyn Olde gave a very interesting and well -researched presentation on the boat people, a problem that has been growing over the years. Lunch, wa`s served by Kay Hanly, Edith Lan- dsb\orough and Olive Johnson, are available. , The Lioness would like to thank the people of the community for their donations which were given during our canvass for the Canadian Heart Fund. Here we are almost the end - of February' once more, usually not a very exciting month really, but "the daylight now is noticeably extending farther into the evenings heralding with promise the coming of Spring, albeit that is. the only vihible sign yet, as I glance through my kit- chen window. ,' However,, in the meantime, though not wishing to spoil your visions', there is a --fly in the ointment as the saying. goes. We are all commanded by the powers -that -be to submit ourselves to a day of reckoning. That springtime frolic with figures: to bravely ex- plain what, vnu did with Baking contest held all those thousands of dollars that . all slipped through your trembling fingers. Not only do my fingers tremble at: the --menacing reality, my whole body is `shook -up'! That's right, it's income tax time, did you forget? Got 'your 'T-4 slips yet? Those compelling revealing, indispensable, but grossly impersonal bits of paper that are received and studied with a degree of horror. '-`G.eeze! did- I make that -- much"- (money). Then anguish sets in. Not unlike the forlorn prisoner standing -in the. dock, in court, tensely awaiting the verdict. Guilty or Not Guilty of overspending last year! These terrible and haunting words race through your tormented mind. "Will the gates of Justice close behind you, or the Dove of Peace, settle upon your con- science", in other words, do you uwe them money or more happily do they owe you some. Then the fun really gets underway. You sit down to fill in that "simplified,. step by step" Income -Tax form. You haven't done yours yet? Well, I'm not one that would in tentionally frighten or i scare a person to death, so I will cut short' my, frustrating and shocking ordeal for your benefit. I don't want to worry you one bit. Forget what I . said. Seemingly there is, _a_ sure way that will guarantee you win. Actually there are .nine. different ways, as you will notice on your tax form, if your entire in- come is, derived from those sources. The daddy of them all is winning 'a lottery, ` but you must keep it all in your pocket, don't bank it. Imagine walking around with a cool million on you! Me? I'm single, broke and happy. (The old cogger). Public School News - On Thursday. February 21, our annual public speaking contest was held in the gym- nasium.
