_ ie nth ane ; "etary : " Meditorial By Rev. Jim Paul a For what it's worth here are the results of a study of 23 married couples carried out at the University of Utah. : Spouses who don't engage in passionate pillow fights may face the prospect of a discordant marriage. Each was put into a six-foot ring and asked to bop each other for 60 seconds with soft pillow clubs wired to show the number, frequency, and intensity of the blows. After the bouts, the participants completed a questionaire to measure agreement on 10 marital issues. Researchers found that spouses who "openly and vigoursly expressed anger in a playful setting"--those that bopped each other hardest -- had less marital discord. (The -- Magazine Feb. 10/70). _ This is a very strange way of discovering if there is uidony and love in a marital relationship. The bible states very clearly that "a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh" (Gen. 2:24). Our Great Creator instituted marriage on the basis of harmony and unity. It was never a choice if one would love his wife or husband, or live in harmony with them. It was a foregone conclusion. The oneness God promised to the married couple is of course not just physical. Genesis 2:24 has in view a three fold oneness where the man and wife become one body, one soul, and one spirit. To the detriment of numerous marriages oneness is only developed in the area of the' body (physical) and the soul (mental-emotional). As a result, the home is left floundering without a Divine anchor or foundation. Is it any wonder why nearly 50% of Cana- dian marriages ends in divorce. If there ever was a day we need to get back to the bible and back to God it's today. Let us return to the faith of our forefathers and see real oneness developed in our homes. You don't need 'pillow fights' to promote harmony in your home, a good dose of love for God and His word is more than adequate. | Castor Valley --~g-- : R Baptist Church Seno The Light Minister-- Rev.

RUSSELL, ONT., 445-2171 By Mel Tomkins At the present time some of the local people are endeavouring to get the City of Ottawa buses to ex- tend their services to Greely. Some years ago the people of Greely were looking with great ex- pectation to the completion of a proposed electric railway that would provide them with street car transportation to Ottawa. But alas, it became the railway that never was. At the turn of the century there was great emphasis on electric railways in urban areas. The main downtown streets of Ottawa pro- vided a network of street railways. Many of. the cars bore the names of streets on which they would travel. Some of the common names on the cars were Bank, Somerset, Rideau, Sparks and Albert. Later the Somerset line was extended to Britannia which at that time was miles beyond the city limits. Shortly before the outbreak of the 1914 war, a decision was made to build a new electric line from Ottawa to Morrisburg. According to the plans the rail line was to run beside the old Metcalfe Road (now Highway 31) and pass through Greely. Construction got underway in some places along the route but when war suddenly broke out in 1914 the project was dropped. When the war ended in 1918, automobiles were becoming more common and there was little in- terest in the railway and so con- struction plans. were: not revived. For many years after, a long mound could be seen across a field east of Highway 31 between Blossom Park and the Davidson Road. This was a part of the road bed for the abandoned failway. Some thirty years ago a company decided to grow celery in the field and the mound was leveled. A few miles farther south some construc- tion took place on the side of a steep hill sourth of Leitrim. Now all that is left of the con- struction on the railway is con- cealed in the cedars on the side of Brian Doyles hill, north of the road to Rideau Carleton Raceway and some three miles north of i 2M.

Shirley © Greely recently lost a prominent senior citizen in the passing of Harold Thomas Shirley at the age of 84. Harold was the son-of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Shirley and spent his early days on the family farm, which is now the location of the Circle J. Ranch. The family farm was quite close to the Pentecostal Church on the eighth concession of Osgoode Township and Harold and his family were members of that congregation. Members of that church now worship at Parkway Pentecostal Church near Greely. In his young days Harold work- ed in the autumn seasons with John O'Brien who did custom threshing and silo filling for. the farmers of the area. He thereby became very well acquainted with many of the farm folk of the township. After his marriage to Edna Scharf he lived on a small farm, a mile east of Greely. He and his wife lived there until they sold the farm and moved to a house in Greely. Harold worked for many years for the highway department and at the time of his retirement was Patrol Foreman on Highway 31. Harold was known as an outstanding step dancer and was very much in demand as a caller for square dances. He was predeceased by his wife Edna by about ten years. He has since lived with his daughter Mina, her husband John Smiley and their daughters. The funeral service was held in the Vice and Craig Funeral Chapel and was conducted by Rev. H. Lamble of All Saints Anglican Church and Rev. Clare Mullen of Parkway Pentecostal Church. The body was placed in the Greely vault for burial in the spring. In addition to his daughter Mina and her husband, he is sur- vived by three granddaughters Brenda, (Mrs. Peter Kelly) and Ruby and Sharon Smiley and one great grandson Jonathan Kelly. Two brothers Clifford and Roy and one sister Sarah also survive. specialists service in custom drapery, - vertical blinds, bedspreads e.r. pollard shop-at-home residential & Mor tree estimates. call 2387743.
