que notre monde serait un bien piétre lieu si la mécanisation de l\u2019existence devait nous priver des contacts que nous vaut la fréquentation volontaire de nos semblables.La collaboration spontanée des particuliers et des groupements est la véritable base de la société démocratique et c\u2019est l\u2019un des principaux moyens qui nous permettent de rester humains en dépit des progrès de la mécanisation et de l\u2019automation.Le travail bénévole profite non seulement à la société mais aussi à celui l\u2019accomplit.Le \u201cvolontaire\u201d sait qu\u2019il peut acquérir une précieuse expérience en échangeant des idées et en travaillant avec les autres à la réalisation d\u2019une oeuvre particulière ou commune.Nos raisons de collaborer avec autrui n\u2019ont pas beaucoup d'importance.En aidant à subvenir à une catégorie de besoins, que ce soit dans le domaine de la culture, de la déliquance, de la santé, du développement local ou technique, le travailleur bénévole favorise et protège le bien- être de toute la collectivité.Nul ne peut se considérer comme isolé, ni dans ses origines ni dans son existence.Quant à savoir quels groupes et quelles institutions scolaires serviront de véhicules à notre dévouement, cela dépandra de notre formation, de nos Entre Nous Par Thérèse Bernard préférences et des besoins de notre milieu.On peut prêter son concours dans plusieurs domaines différentes.Les hommes dont les noms sont passés à l\u2019histoire avaient plus d\u2019une corde à leur arc et leurs biographies nous montrent qu\u2019ils ont vraiment joui de la vie.Le travail bénévole est une source d\u2019enrichissement pour ceux qui s\u2019y adonnent.Quels que soient nos talents, notre fortune ou notre joie, il se trouveront accrus si nous les partageons avec les autres.Nos moments les plus profitables et les plus heureux sont ceux où nous travaillons avec nos semblables en vue d\u2019atteindre un but commun.Si notre monde nous semble banal et triste c'est peut-être parce que nous sommes si absorbés par notre intérêt personnel que nous oublions que nous avons des connaissances à faire valoir, des idées à communiquer, des sentiments à exprimer et qu\u2019ils peuvent combler un besoin ailleurs.En conseillant au malheureux jeune homme riche de \u201cvendre tous ses biens et d\u2019en donner le produit aux pauvres\u201d, le Christ ne pensait pas au soulagement de la misère mais à l\u2019âÂme du jeune homme.New transport service now in Cowansville for physically handicapped COWANSVILLE \u2014 After a long wait, people with physical disabilities in Cowansville finally have their own transportation service.The new service is the result of efforts by the Association of Physically Handicapped People of Cowansville and region.This non-profit group has been putting pressure on the town of Cowansvil- le and the provincial government to introduce the service.Among its efforts was a 5000-name petition to federal MNA Pierre Paradis and the late Gaston Peloquin.Members also managed to convince Cowansville town council to come up with the $5000 necessary to link Cowansville with the other 11 municipalities using the I'Auto Amie transport service.The program was originally scheduled to debut in January.But a delay in financing put the project on hold until this month.Six months of service in Cowansville costs some $52,000.But the association said the need for handicapped transportation in Cowansville is definitely there.There are 112 potential customers for the service, making up most of I'Auto Amie\u2019s 225 clients in the region.For more information about the new transportation service, contact l\u2019Auto Amie, or the town of Cowansville.Richard exal/ Drug PHOTOFINISHING SPECIAL Er FREE ELE) 2no_ 37 COLOR PRINTS T
