My fir,“ In trying to understand it, one cannot help but recognize a valid thoughtfulness shown by so many people. Believe it or not so much of it is anonymous. How often we hear those beautiful words, “would you be good enough to see that this goes to the place where it is most needed? And by the way, please don’t mention my name!” The scoffer dismisses this with a shrug. The believer knows it to be genuine. It is an evidence of the ‘graciousness of the time’. That grace originates with the Liv- ing God. It is He Who loved this world so much that He gave. He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, and in Him we saw His Glory full of grace and truth. u; \.\ v... The Scripture refers to this as, LIGHT, and the darkness has never put it out. This Light is in the world for Judgement and Salvation.

Part of that is demonâ€" strated in so much gracious dealings with each other, “If we walk in the Light as He is in the Light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” “Let {is inoire on in that Light as we fulfill our commission as followers of Jesus â€" being the Light of _the world. uvv...‘ May tfiéâ€"afir‘iisf ovahristmas bless you with His Grace. the Pakistani army in East Pakistan and who will doubtless become the victims of the Bangla Desh as the Indian Army penetrates farther and farther into East Pakistan.

Dear Mr. Editor: I have picked up “The Liberal” from time to time from our local news stand for the purpose of catching up on local affairs. Your stand taken in the December 2 issue regarding “Metro isn’t Wanted” has my complete agreement with your views. This statement has moved me to subscribe to your paper and I will rely on your sources to keep me informed on this matter of Metro borders in the future. I live just north of Steeles Avenue and am con- cerned with this issue. We don’t want Metro to extend its borders! Everybody’s effort will be needed to convince the provincial government that we wish to stay with the York Regional Govern- ment.

Up until 1951 children from Lake Wilcox were accommodated in Oak Ridges Public School. In that year they attended school in an old frame building (a former community hall) in Lake Wilcox. In 1952 they moved into a four-classroom frame building which had just been erected. It was already inadequate for the number of children in the community and the old school at Jefferson and two classrooms in Aurora were leased.

In 1954 the Lake children occupied five classrooms in the old Aurora school building. It is now the headquarters of the York County Board of Education. In 1955 a new brick building containing seven classrooms, kindergarten and staff rooms was erected and attached by a covered walkway to the original frame structure. Disaster struck the school on February 14, 1969, when the original frame structure burned â€"â€" and the board had to resort to accommodating some of the pupils in rented quarters again. The new brick building with its added facilities and attractive, colorful classrooms, now also accommodates the children from the nearby three-room Lloyd School.

Cheetahs, like all of the large cats of the world, are an endangered spec- ies and are close to extinction. The dollar hungry nations of Africa have no laws to prevent the export of such animals and to date our government has not had the wisdom to pass laws to prevent their importation. n ,,,ru Thus people like Mr. Orsatti are able to make a considerable profit by trading in these rare animals. When these animals are extinct Mr. Orsatti can take pride (along with the world's fashion leaders with their cheetah coats) in having done his part to hasten their passing.

The “Christmas Choir” wore new avocado- green surplices with white shirts and red satin neckties when they led the audience in a medley of well-known Christmas songs and carols. Dainty little Kim DeBruyn, wearing a mini-skirt and blue and white velvet dress, who was one of 11 nursery tots, gave a very pretty and “wriggling” little speech of welcome, much to everyone’s obvious delight before her companions sang “Away In A Manger” with actions to illustrate the song’s message.
