Page 8 « COMMUNITY CHURCH ANNUAL MEETING Retiring Chairman of the Committee of Stewards, J. A. Ferrier, welcomed those attending the Annual Congregational meeting of the Commmity Church held on Sunday evening, in the Church Hall. The Rev. T.G. Husser was chosen to act as chairman of the meeting and minutes were recorded by Mrs. H. Ne. Marsh. Reports from the various church organiza- tions were presented and approved. Although the reports indicate a generally healthy situation that of the Committee of Stewards contained remarks which bear repeating. "I am convinced that the greatest danger to our life as a Community Church lies within our own church membership; not so much from in- difference or lassitude, as from the many demands piaced on our time by other projects we have become interested in town. Everyone it seems, has at least two ot three pet projects, and, while this is highly commen- dable from the commmity spirit point of view, we must never take it for granted that the church will always get along without us. What is the answer to this problem? Per- haps it is that we must come up with a pro- gramme within the church that will captivate the minds and interests of our members, and regain leaders to promote the cause of Christianity in Terrace Bay. We might just do this in 1964; I hope we will be able to count on you." The 1964 budget was approved, a munber of questions were debated upon and motions carried and amendments to the constitution approved. A reference addendum to the constitution on Baptism was approved. W. Kurylo was reappointed Sunday School Superintendent for a two year term, J. A. Kelty, K. Kitchen and D, Gunter were elected to the Board of Stewards, Miss Barbara Sweet was elected Secretary and A. Farrow , D. Husband and W. Baillie were elected to the Committee of Elders. A minutets silence to honour the late H. Goodfellew and Tommy Duriez was observed by those present. Refreshments were served by members of the Ladies Auxiliary at the conclusion of the meeting. RADIO QUESTION BEING PRESSED During his recent visit to Schreiber and Terrace Bay, Douglas Fisher M.P. re- ported on the latest developments on better radio reception for Terrace Bay. Correspondence from C.B.C. officials received by him and by local residents reveal that the C.B.C. take opposing attit attitudes to the question (perhaps dependent on which G,B.G. official is doing the |writing). Mr. Fisher has promised to con- tinue a vigorous campaign to assure better reception. Preliminary engineering work on a separate 40 watt LPR¥ at Terrace Bay has alreadysbegun One of the biggest troubles with success is that its recipe is often the same as the one for a nervous breakdown. THE NEWS 5 Lt; January 16, 1964 LOOKING AND THINKING WITH THE OBSERVER Living in Canada, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario, is certainly a privilege but it is a privilege for which we pay dearly in cash. This has been brought home to us recently by an article in the Toronto "Globe and Mail*t, in which a staff writer attempted to make a case for the lower rate of income tax that we pay in Canada when compared to that paid by Americans. The difference was there, but it was not too great.; They do pay a little more each year to Uncle Sam to finance his monster programmes. But - that is not the whole story when you stop to consider What you earn is what you have left after taxes and after you have purchased your annual needs. What is the advantage in paying a lower income tax when everything else you have to buy is sky-high? A car that costs $4,500 brand new in Canada can be bought for $3,400 just over the border. (And yet labour costs for auto-building are lower in Canada, - ask Studebaker!) A Terrace Bay man coming home through the states the other day bought sugar for 9.8 cents a lb. and noted that 2 - 24 oz. loaves of bread were 39¢, Grade A turkeys - 29¢, Grade A large fresh eggs - 41¢, Ready - to - serve hams, 39 Men's 1] oz. Drill Work Pants - $2.49, a Norelco ( Philishave Electric Razor) - $11.99, Kodachrome II Film - 35 mm, - $1.43. He didn't buy these; he was simply interested and looked. As he was about to cross into Canada he filled his tank with gas at 29.9 cents a gal. which in the differential in gallons works out to about 36cents for our size. In Terrace he pays nearly 49¢ for the same fuel. The same story could be repeated in a comparison of prices between N.W. Ontario and the Golden Horsehoe around Toronto. None of us would trade life here for the smog of the | south, but something tells this writer that we Northerners are being "hooked™ somewhere, and good! Why does our northern dollar have to equal about 78¢ worth of one earned in Southern Ontario and about 65¢ worth of one earned in the States. This has never been rationally explained to the Observer, and he'd like to know the answer. NORTH SHORE HOCKEY LEAGUE LEAGUE STANDINGS AS OF JANUARY 8, 1964 TEAM WON LOST T FOR AGAINS!
