Michael Prieur of St. Peters Seminary, London, that eleven years after the end of the second Vatican Council, we are experiencing a need for "renewal of the renewal.

Father Prieur gave as some examples of this fresh• renewal being experienced today, such as - the renewal of the Ursuline Community this past summer, And the renewal of marriages through marriage en- counters, with the resulting updating of their faith. - He said, "What weneed today i5' a deeper awareness' of several basic aspects gf our faith - a deeper awareness of meaning of God in our life, of what it means to be -christian • today, i.e. what makes a Christian specifically christian and what makes a, Catholic specifically catholic" Father • Prieru said ' that three.: specifically catNholic emphases are:_"First, a deep belief in the incarnation of Jesus and how this affects our notion of the Church. Second, an appreciation of how im- portant sacraments are for r a catholic.

SUCCESSFUL ARBORETUM The Reforestation, Land Use and Wildlife. Advisory Board met in early October. The. Board members were pleased to hear . of the sue".1 cessful planting of an ar- boretum at the Wallace Township Public School. 35 varieties of trees were planted by 3 students from each class. All 400 students' in the school helped to raise money to cover the cost of the ,trees. , ,. It was brought to the at- tention .of the Board that due to a shortage of suitable Public Land,. the Bay Scouts Trees.. for ...Canada tree planting program will be curtailed for 1977. This is .an unfortunate development which.. the Authority ' hopes will be overcome in time for the 1978 planting season.

The Finance and Personnel Committee, :the Secretary - Treasurer and the Resources Manager all attended a hearing before the Taxation. Reform Commission in . Kitchener on October 1. They presented a briefwhich was critical of the short, 12 month, time period which has been allowed for local Uniput prior to implementatidn of the. proposed changes to the Property Tax Laws. It argues that the administrative implications of the proposed changes are far. reaching and intricate and that, because of • this, many months will be required for public a and private agenciesto evaluate' the changes in light of their long term costs and benefits.
