Today, we are living a unique period in the his- tory of mankind: it is not by chance that Pope Paul has singled out the local churches in this way. For one of the declared purpo- ses of the Holy is reconci- liation. All of us are cons- cious of the differences which have tended to divide us. It stands to reason that before we can try to ob- serve the Holy Year on a worldwide scale, it is desir- able that the division with- in the local Catholic com- munities be healed first. From the outset. emphasis has been placed on the dual theme of Faith and Reconciliation. Pope Paul expressed it: "Man must be renewed from within in a kind process of rebirth". “The Liberal” is always pleased to publish items of interest regarding peo- ple and events in Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts.

Then one day after watching him carefully driving in and backing out of his garage for more than 20 minutes (I carefully timed him in the interests at science), the answer sud- denly dawned on me. It is a mechanical bug-crusher. Of course it’s no good for flying bugs, -only the kind that crawl around on drive- ways and can be expected to sit still while being driv- en over and then reversed over again and again and again. When it first emerged from its cocoon, like some monstrous insect, I was in a “non-thinking" time, so I ignored it.
