Cox-respondent's Comments For fear of being criticized for walking the thin line of bigotry and racism. my per- sonal comment for the week is almost a “pet peeve". Using multi-color or multi- race groups in plays or shows as examples of how we‘reno longer thinking (supposedly) in a bigoted way with little or no thought to the context is “getting my goat." The example in my mind is the annual Christmas Story pageant done at Holy Trinity Anglican (downtown Toronto) for the past 35 years by a cast of 100. For those of you of any faith who have never seen the marvelous re- enactment of the birth of Christ. my condolences. as it is a great spectacle to behold. My involvement many years ago was as a tenor in the gallery choir, under the direction of Maurice White. singing the mixture of plain- song and harmony music of the show. But as said earlier, it is worth 3 Grey Cup Sunday afternoon to see it. as we did. The acting. lighting and musi- cal presentation is always highly praised by those who attend. As usual. the six of us went up to the Chancel afterwards to say hello to an old friend. Bob Bastendorft‘, who was the organist Church News Throughout the moods de- picted in the play, with Mary finding out that she was with child and Herold killing all the young babes, Joseph never smiles. ,No wonder! Mary is nursing a black baby. even though she and Joseph are white. Even though God performed the wonder of a virgin birth. l'm sure that in this realm of marvelous works he would not give a young Jewish girl a negro baby. I can hardly imagine an all-black cast re- vering a white Christ child. and it is. in my opinion. just as illogical in the Holy Trinity performance. God may be black or multi-race. all encompassing. But Jesus. according to our teachings was of Jewish birth. What would Archie Bunker say? 0n the humorous side.

Doug and Al Wilson of Jane Street have just retum- ed from a three-week vaca- tion and pilgrimage to Israel. They toured almost all of the country, spending nine days in Haifa at the Baha'i World Centre. The Baha'i Gardens are one of the great attractions of Haifa. They visited many Baha‘i shrines and places of interest, as well as Jerusalem. Nazareth, Beth- lehem and Jericho. the old- est city in the world. On a trip through the Ne- gev Desert they watched the Bedouin Tribesmen going about their life regardless of the tourists driving by. The weather was hot with little rain. Some areas of Israel, over which as you know fierce wars have raged. are very arid. In places where irrigation has been used fer- tile crops now grow. In some areas. particularly by the Dead Sea. the soil has been handwashed to remove the salt and is now productive. For the Wilsons, the trip was both restful and inspira- tional. Extensive security was part of the airflight. But this. as they realized. was for their own protection.

Schomberg Peewees 8, King City Peewees 0 As the result indicates King City Were completely outplayed and outnumbered byfia strong Schomberg team. When county school boards were set up four years ago, Superintendent Joseph Hodge reported, provision was made that all children could continue to attend the school they were attending, but no provision was made for those not then in school. clarification. If Simcoe provides classroom space for its students, we could be faced with the possibility of adding facilities and having empty classrooms or having pupils on our doorstep and no accommodation for them,” he said. Another area of concern is the Bradford area, where approximately 150 York pupils from the Holland Landing area attend a Simcoe school, at St. Mary’s in Bradford. “There is not any school in Simcoe near the Schomberg area and there is not likely to be one in the foreseeable future, because the children just aren’t there. It’s a very static population. Bradford is a different problem. St. Mary’s is an old school with about 10 rooms, and the Simcoe board would like to replace it with a modern school. They have acquired a site. If we provided for our pupils now in St. Mary’s we might be able to build a large school in Newmarket,” he said. In an un'usual sportihg ges- ' King continued to domin- ‘ate the play, carrying the ‘score to 3-1 with goals from Gord McKechnie assisted by |Dave Clark. the other goal ‘coming from Ted Scott as~ sisted by Terry Hoover and Doug Manson. 5 Constructive hockey was not a feature of the third period in which nine penal- 'ties were handed out. King City Bantams 3 Keswick Bantams 5 Keswick opened the scor- ing in the first 40 seconds of the game December 3 at King City. The King team settled down and the Kes- ‘wick defense were kept well 'off balance until a goal from 1H0ward Phorson tied the ‘score for King, Ted Scott getting the assist. King maintained the pressure, Gord McKechnie puting them ‘ahead with a goal and the ‘assist going to Dave Clark King tested the Keswick ;goalkeepers several times and missed some good ‘chances in scrambly play around the net. allowing Keswick to score on an iso- lated raid on the King net and adding a further goal when King were a man short. King City Bantams 3 Schomberg Bantams 4 This was the most compet- itive game of-the three. King C i ty looked dangerous throughout the first period, keeping Schomberg off bal- ance with some fast skating and effective checking. The first goal came from Terry Hoover assisted by Howard Phorson, Schomberg tying the score straight from the following face-off as a re- sult of an unexplicable lapse on the part of the King team. The game was marred by 10 minute and game miscon- duct penalties to King whose players showed their frustra- tions at being unable to get on track. The Schomberg scoring was led by Ken Thompson with two unassisted goals. King City Peewees 1 Keswick Peewees 3 One goal down King open- ed their score with an un- assisted goal from Colin Larsen to tie the game but were unable to withstand the pressure from an eager Keswick team which had most of the play December 3 at King City. Somewhat against the run of the play and probably as a result of the defensemen being caught one or two steps too far up the ice. Schomberg produced three unanswered goals late in the third period. King re- moved their goalkeeper but were unable to score a point in the dying moments. Schomberg Midgets 4 King City Midgets 1 Schomberg completed a clean sweep of all of the King City teams by defeat- ing this, King City’s most capable age group. King City’s lone goal came from strong skating Mike Sanderson who was the most effective King player in this game. The assist went to Niall Magner. Outstanding King defense- man was Scott Lithgow who made several dangerous rushes into Keswick terri- tory. getting an assist on Gord McKechnie‘s second goal. A slightly over anxious King team lost poise and al- lowed Keswick to score two unanswered goals late in the game. 3 The Centennial delegation included Mayor Lazenby, James Grainger and Mrs. Pat Hart. the latter two being members of the town com- :mittee which is planning next year‘s celebrations.
