It has been proven by surveys released recently by 1114 ambulance associations that it, is'just not economieelly fisibJi to run this. service without some financial help from municipa ities. A report, which appeared within the, past- month., showeJ that only 10 per cent of all e-mergeney ,ases ,picked up follow- ingroad aeeitli7nks provided some financial return for the service. So, as they artin the business -to. make a living, they eannot lie blamed for wanting to rid t heniselves o -f the burden which they have vitrried un unwilling sliontders" for so many years. People itiay ask why they got involved in the serviee in the first instance. The reason was beeause of competition between the funeral homes. Smaller directors were forced into providing an ambulance service or suffer the eonsequei ees by- being swept under the carpet by rivals with4.triore re;ources. To be bliint, the ambulance had become a status symbol in the -funeral business, Shortl suddenly -realize that Christmas is on the way, just around the oorner, in fart.

Congratulations to -the new management in the production of a weekly paper which be7 comes an ever increasing source of enjoyment to read. Yours sincerely, N. T. ANDERSON, 41 Princeway Dr., Scarborough, Ont. 4. Dear Sir: The letter from J. Wilkinson in last week's Signal -Star, in which he supports, and even, ap- pears to advocate, fighting on the ice and rough hockey, is a shocking testimony of the depths to which this game has sunk. From letters of this sort, we see that all the blame for tripping, slashing, groin -kicking 'and gen- eral poor sportsmanship, does not rest solely with the players. -iliStead o bealtbY eXereise/ comradeship, and a lesSon in holding your temper, hockey bas become a "win at all costs" pre- PositiOn. Pareptso who never fail to .deliver sons to Stouts and/or Sunday School, seem to consider he's just being a 7red. looded CanadiAn boy ,when he acts like a bOorAlfini on the iee. We're all familiar with parents working themselves Into a frenzy at rail -side, as they exhort their young hopeful to kill or maim his opposing number. Youngsters who have been taught and encouraged to act as hoodlums on the ice, find it natural and easy to ,act likewise in our homes and on the streets. The goal for many accordingly, is the reform school or peniten- tiary. Stiff penalties — season suspensions fines, or both—ap- plied impartially to -Maple Leaf mighty • or Goderich half -pint -- are tile swift and simple solution. it r Ow hOelceY gould W aacle4 Vuropean ItockeY or.

The entire situ% ation smells. to high heaven, all traces of "sport" having long - since vanished. • I also feel Mr. Wilkinson owes Ron Feagan a public apology. His insinuation that Ron's spec- tacular feat, and the fame he has brought to Goderich, were sparked by his early association with dirty hockey in the home- town, is particularly odious. • j.

There are others who say that much' of the earth's oil resources have never been tapped and that there Is enough oil for hundreds of years. Just so with the oil of the Holy Spirit, which keeps . the Church from squeaking and rust- ing. The -supply is inexhaustible. But it is the individual, the church member, or "wheel" in the 'church machinery. who needs the oil if the Church is to continue to function smoothly and to carry on the work for whia it vas intended -mw -t4. ing the gospel of Jesus Christ and pin its members to grow in grae, When one member be - conies dilatory, indifferent or heart-alloused, the whole or- ganization suffers, Every Christian needs the bap- tism of the Holy Spirit of which oil is a type, God's drill mutt go deep thrbugh layers of the rock of self and, sin before it strikes oil?
