from volunteer help, especially where the school is known to serve more than its students.Jean Louis Brizard, Director General of the Pontiac School Commission, was the final speaker during the morning session.He spoke about the problems the Board is facing in Pontiac keeping its ten schools open, schools have been closed by the board since 1970, and five more must be closed if the present financing formula continues.\"In Pontiac,\" he said, \"the Board has difficulty meeting provincial regulations for second language instruction, for moral instruction, and for sports and extracurricular facilities.\" The Board has agreed with the MEQ that rationalization of the system was required, and accepted a 1.3% compression in funding.When this was followed by a freeze which held funding constant while costs increased with inflation, the problems became much worse.\"'We have had five years of studies, all kinds of recommendations.The the- wmm ory is there, where are the

Maria Aniskowicz A very concerned citizen of Bristol There may be ways of saving money now spent on bussing.Bus routes and schedules are intricate balancing acts between ensuring that all children can get to school and keeping the school board out of bankruptcy, so changing them is not a simple proposition.Even so, it must be considered.School boards are limited to raising six percent of their budgets through local taxes.Municipalities are not.The point was made several times that rural schools are an essential component of the community, providing services that would not otherwise be available: libraries, and meeting halls, for example.Rather than having to replace these facilities once the school has gone, municipal councils could now be raising money through their taxes to help keep the schools alive.The loss of a school usually means the community itself is approaching extinction.Spending municipal taxes to forestall this decline can be justified, but school boards may find it difficult to ask for the money.In many communities parents have organized car pooling to get their children to school.It still costs money, but not school board money, which is limited.A car pool driver can often organize her time so that the trip to school can be combined with a trip to town that would have been necessary anyway.Orpha P Fenton Norway Bay, Quebec ma* Dear Editor: I would like to make my position on the proposed dump issue perfectly clear.It is my intention to remain steadfast against the proposal, contrary to rumors that I had changed my position.The source of these rumors remains a mystery.Yet I feel it is important to clear the air.I have in no way been affiliated with Sanitech Lamarche nor Mr G McGuinty nor have I accepted anything from these people in the past.I would also like to reassure the membership of the C.C.C.that their executive remains a united body firmly committed to representing the majority of the people of Bristol, who do not want a dump.Also, just for the record, all the members of the CCC executive have seen the slide presentation, some as many as three times.I have listened to the arguments for the dump on several occasions .The result was that I was used to try to undermine the credibility of the CCC.We seem to be damned if we do and dammed if we don't.Each week we are subjected to the \"Real Story\".I would suggest the heading be changed to the \"Ever Changing Story\", since the people at Sanitech Lamarche continue to change the story to suit their own need.For example, a gentleman from a neighbouring municipality spoke out against the dump.Mi McGuinty had the gall to reply that \"the gentleman is not even a resident of Bristol.\" If the wishes of the people of Bristol are that important, and the people of the neighbouring municipalities aren't, why does Sanitech Lamarche continue to solicit support in an ever-widing area.I have never thought of myself as an unreasonable person, so I will give credit where credit is due.Mr McGuinty is a very good salesman, the only problem being, the residents of Bristol aren't interested in what he is trying so hard to peddle.It is apparent from Saturday's meeting that the will to keep our rural schools alive continues.One trait which characterizes most rural people is their resourcefulness.With this and the will, there is bound to be a way.Parents, though, should not hesitate Dear Editor: Children are easily led and believe in many fantasies.It's all part of growing up.It's quite clear that the mature residents of Bristol don't want to clean up after Santa Claus this time.Children that are raised responsibly learn to accept to certain requests without defaming one's charac- Grist and miscellaneous The Church Corner no Bernice Brusenbauch will act as president of the Pontiac Tourist Association.She is filling the seat that Gaétan Boulanger vacated due to illness.Terry Murdock will act as vice president.These positions are effective until the end of the term.Nails and Nail Soup ter.In our situation in Bristol the child hasn\u2019t acquired the intellect yet to understand that it's No!

It is a beginning and I am sure they will expand their activities since they are proposing an industrial complex.In order to have an industrial complex your first criteria is your access either by roads, rails, air or water.Where in the Pontiac can you find such a site?Bristol answers to all four.When making a market study for any project there is always the population to take into consideration.Our kids are leaving the Pontiac because there are no jobs therefore our population is going down instead of increasing.This project will create jobs and keep our kids at home.I cannot understand the position of the elected members when they refuse to give their approval for this project since they deprive their ratepayers of incredible compensations and risk heavy lawsuits.Are they elected for the prestige of their titles or the well-being of the community?Another factor hard to understand is that this is our first big project since the \"schéma d'aménagement has been drawn up.If we run into this problem every-time a promoter wants to implement an industry in the Pontiac it means we will never develop and our MRC has not fully done its job in planning our territory or can it be interpreted as a conflict of interest?This week a convention was held in Sherbrooke regarding Environment and sanitary landfill.The whole province was represented.The Minister was there! But where was the Pontiac MRC?Here is another answer to our being \"backwards\u201d! Our member at the National Assembly has been appointed to the Environment.What is his position in this \"dossier\"?We have yet to hear from him.In conclusion, let's quit bitching about never having anything and do something.Let's develop our County by approving this project, by creating jobs.Don't forget \"Garbage\" is money, money creates jobs, jobs stimulates the rest of the economy.Sanitech Lamarche will be creating all over the Pontiac it is our business and especially the MRC s business to see that his project goes ahead.\\ When the water began to boil, the nail made a terri- I wonder how Jesus ble racket.When others Pirates and Outlaws of Canada 1610-1932 looked at the nails before living in the apartment\tby Harold Horwood and Edward Butts they were hammered into came to see what the noise This book traces the history of the men who operated His hands and feet on the was, the woman replied on the outside edge of the taming of Canada when pi-cross.Nails have so much that she was makaing rates ruled the Atlantic coast and outlaws roamed the potential for good and yet nail soup.The other people wild west and northern frontier.It is the story of their these nails would hold Je- each decided to bring adventures, their crimes and their contributions, sus and the cross together, something for the soup.A On the surface, these soup bone, peas, carrots, nails seemed to have sep- turnip, etc.were all arated God and people, brought to her.Many They were nailing God to friendships were made the cross to do away with over the nail soup and the Him.But God's response people's lives changed was so unexpected when dramatically.Jesus shouted to the world, The nails of Good Fri-\"Father forgive them for day have changed life they know not what they dramatically.Jesus calls us to share in the commu-These nails tied Jesus to nity of His forgiveness, all the suffering, the pain, His family, the church, the depression, the anxie- Celebrate this new life in ty, the hurt, and sin of the the Good Friday service in world, yet Jesus asked for- your church this week, as giveness.The nails on the we share in Jesus' Nail cross, call and invite each Soup, person to be hammered to- May Christ fill your life gether in a community with His forgiveness and where God\u2019s love brings love this Easter Season.Yours truly Kelly Finlan Impact of Oil by Earle Gray In twelve chapters this book traces the development of Canadian Oil Resources - \"Birth of the Oil Industry\", \"The Quest for Oil in Canada\", \"The World of Oil\" and so on.Dear Editor: It is indeed a shame to see the sad and sorry state of the \"green bench\" between the Royal Bank and Dr Botvin's office on Shawville's main street.Two weeks ago I wrote to commend the merchants of Shawville on the effort put into improving window displays.Unfortunately now I write to criticize those responsible for the state of the only place to sit and chat or rest feet on Main Street - \" the old green Building for People by Richardson, McNevin and Rooke This book tells how modern technology is reshaping way of life.Chapter One describes the effects of the construction of Highway 401 upon the way of life of the people of Southern Ontario.Chaper Two, \"A City and its Heart\", examines the changed in the downtown core of Montreal.The third and final chapter traces the development of the construction industry.do.\" one s weary I grew up with its presence as a landmark for this town serving as a meeting place for young and old alike.Now it sits propped up against two large trees, unsafe, in need of paint and new boards.Many will say that now it is a hangout for young people.But it was those people whom I spoke to on Saturday while out shopping.They told me how bad the bench looked and how they'd like to repair it to its original state but couldn't afford it.They told me they didn't know who to write to and if they did no one would pay any attention to them.So they asked if maybe I could write the Council or THE EQUITY.These people are not close friends of mine but I do sympathize with them and agree with their plea.All they need is the materials to restore a part of Shawville's Main Street aura.Is that so much to ask?They don't want to knock it down, but rebuild it for everyone's benefit.\t« Really, they shouldn't have to repair it.Shawville Council, a local club, or the businesses should recognize the history of the bench.All those initials we've all carved into it and the need for it for shoppers.It's present state does nothing to beautify Main Street for tourists or residents.So Shawville Council, Clubs or merchants, it is up to you.I CL i speak only for myself and those who asked me to write something for them.Give us all back that familiar \"Green Bench\".Repair it into something useful and something we can once again be proud of even if it is only one small bench!

that the full facts have not been made public by Sanitech Lamarche either in the press, before council or at the \"Information Evenings\", even though they have had this document since February 25th,

Mr.Lincoln (Environment Minister).We draw your attention particularly to paragraph D which calls for waterproofing of fractured levels and other requirements.Compare this to Sanitech Lamarche's statement the rock walls far exceed government specifications.The requirements imposed by the Québec Ministry of the Environment refute Sanitech Lamarche's advertised claim that their proposal, as it now stands, provides full protection against any pollution of wells or the water table.If concern for the environment, for our neighbours, our quality of life, for facts and for truth is to be

51 people from Wales will arrive including the groom.one- The Belshers are organ-bus tours for the izing guests among the wedding plans.As well, many people in the community are opening their homes so the people from Wales will have a place to stay.Sandy and David had a long-distance romance, that included several visits, long letters and tape recorded messages, in between phone calls that cost $2 a minute.They met at Shawville Fair 1983 on David's second visit to Shawville.In 1978 David was on a 4-H exchange.They met two days before his return to Wales, but they exchanged addresses.They wrote letters for two and one-half years.Last year he flew over to meet the Belshers and to attend one of her sisters' wedding.The day after the wedding, they announced their engagement.They will live in Wales after the wedding.David farms with his father, and they have a Friesen herd.In honor of Sandy, they put in central heating last year.She will have to adjust to a new language.David and his

explained Sandy.Sandy has had to be mote organized than many brides in planning her wedding.She writes down questions and when ever she talks to David, asks his opinion.They even chose their wedding invititations together by mailing the selections back and forth.One thing she is sure of, however, is that the community she is moving into is small and friendly.\"A lot like Shawville,\" she said.She is counting the days until David comes over in May to attend her graduation.As for the Belshers, they hate to see their second youngest daughter move so far away.\"Marriage is a big step in life for
