May and June are two very important
months in ,the year. In the month of May we
have a day set aside to honor our mothers
and in June we. have a day just for fathers
and what a good idea to have a special time
to show our parents our respect and
admiration for them.
When a man gets married hetakes a wife
with whom he wishes to share the resf of his
life and in turn their love for each other
brings..) for the creation of a family and
mother and father now have their work cut
out for them.
Being a father is a fantastic roll in life. It is
a role .,which is demanding, fulfilling and
rewarding. Fathers give reassurance and a
feeling of safety to their babies by a hug and
letting them perch on daddy's lap. The sight
of a child's tiny hand clutched inside his
father's strong, masculine hand is indescrib-
able in words, for the pride in Dad's face and
the love in his heart says it all.
Fathers know the way to their little ones'
• smiles by a ticket or a tiny bit of teasing, but,
they also know when to discipline and when
to make demands on their childrens' actions.
To a young boy, Dad can do everything -
he is Mr. T., the Incredible. Hulk, and of
course bigger and stronger than their best
friends' Dad. To a young girl dear old Dad is
the love of her life. In her eyes, lie is Burt
Reynolds; Elvis Presley and John Wayne all
rolled up in one big wonderful package. -
Dads are the best teachers in the eyes of
their offspring who watch, listen and imitate
and as a result become closer which makes
the bond that only father and child have
unbeatable,
As -the children become teens and young
adults, Dad is getting grey and maybe even
a little scarce of hair and no wonder. Fathers
work from dawn to dusk to feed, cloth and
make a secure future for their family and
today that is no easy job.
Fathers watch society change and worry
about the future, education, give encourage-
ment to ideals or goals in life while patiently
enduring passing fancies. Most difficult, he
must come tat grips.with his child becoming a
manor woman and going out in the world on
his own.
As parents mothers and fathers are the
builders of their childrens' moral, religious
and social upbringing that •will be the major
focal point of their children's future.
Dads sure` area special lot, and on
Father's Day, they should be shown just how
special. They are not - proud or particular
when it comes to a gift and will gladly. accept
another new tie. to add to the 22 they already
have or another new shirt to sharpen up their
wardrobe. The golf or tennis pro always
loves new clubs or racquets but to a shade
tree and backyard man, a hammock would
make his day. But the best'; gift of all from
one's- children, I am sure, would, be to hear
the rarely spoken words - "GeeDad, I think
you're the greatest."
On Sunday, June 10, First Communion
Sunday was held at St. Patrick's Parish,
Dublin. Those from Dublin Parish making
their ,first Holy Communion were Jeff

Zoningamendment is withdrawn
An application for a zoning amendment
was withdrawn as a result of a petition
opposing the change from residents of
Cromarty.
Charles and George Douglas requested
the amendment to enable them to build a
ground level manure tank with a tat latticed
top for cattle to walk across. In discussing
plans for the site, council was told the tank
would be surrounded with an earth surround
and a berm of trees.
As a result of the petition from Cromarty
residents, whose town is within the
proscribed distance set forth in the bylaw,
the owners of the farm decided to build the
tank on a different location of the site where
a bylaw amendment would not be necessary
for construction.
