2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, Aftgust th. 1978 jClarke Museum I Corner r This is going to be more announcement than article, this week. First on the lighter side, we have changed our interseason display fromn quilts to children's clothes. Over the past two years we have had quite a f ew addit- ions to our collection of children's clothing, so this suxnmer we thought we would show them off - all our beautiful christening outfits, both summer and winter weight, and an interesting variety of- boys and girls dresses. So corne in and see this display, between the end of the Commonwealth games and the beginning of your back-to-school worries. Secondly, there are still a few teachers who taught at the Kirby school that we bave not been able to get addresses for; if you know how we can get in touch with Mr. A.E. Branscombe, Mr. Robert Taylor and Miss Susan Caren, would you let us know please. Write the Clarke Museum, Box 150, Orono, or phone 983-9425. Museum Hours: Every af ter- noon 2 - 5 p.m. except Wednesdays. Horticulture News Our very first district No. 4 flower show was held in Coldsprings Hall, Saturday, July 29th with 12 societies out of a 20 society membership exhibiting. 1There were 381 exhibits and all were of excellent quality, despite the dry summer. Judges for the show were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Baker of Toronto. jThrînk smal IbyJim Smith I Tyranny by any Other Name ln the beginning, thiere were the Haves and the Have- Nots. The Haves lived in coin- fort from the proceeds of their investinents, including the factories where the Have- Nots sweated for starvation wages. The labourers figured that this was unjust and de- manded an honest day's pay for an honest day's work. This eventually led to labour winning the righit to form unions - and unions gave la- bour power. WelI, power is a dangerous thing. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts ah- soiutely. So, the dloser thse labour mnovement came to acquiring absolute power, the farther it strayed froin the original aimi of achieving eqit .tw,i ork s and employers. An indication of how dan- gerously off-track unions can get is found in the Cliche Commission Report on crime in Quebec. According to MIr. Justice Cliche, a Quebec Fed- eration of Labour leader namned Yvon Duhamel be- came enraged that a handful of workers froin a rival union were permnitted to wvork at thse lames Bay Hydro Project. Cliche reports that Duhamel led a riot onMlarch 21, ý1974, resulting in a S33 million cost to Quebec taxpayers and de- laying this im-portanit project. Local 791 of the QFL, accor- ding to Cliche, subsequently praised the "excellent work I carried out by Duhiamel "for the local and aIl its miembilers.'" In Southwestern Ontario this year, thse UAW struck against Fleck Mlanufactuiring, a smallish coinpany wichl re- fused to conduct a comnpul- sory dutes chieck-off for the unon, Somie workersý decid- ed to continue workillg,. lThe union ,strengthened by mem- bers iiported fromn a nearby Ford plant, threw Up picket lines which on occasion forci- bly prevented workers from entering the plant. Unfortu- nately, Fleck shares space in an industrial complex with several other firms and work- ers for these firms were also caught in thse action. The legal status of vio- lence originating from union acts is interesting.Except in a handful of provinces, includ- ing British Columbia, there is no such legal entity as a union. Consequently ,unions enj oy pri vileges- such as the righit to grind a company to a haIt - but operate under very tew à ustrictions or obli- gations. Unlike corporations or individuals - whio may be sued for the saine types of acts that unions commit with impunity - unions cann ot be sued in most provinces. Even for those provinces which do allow unions to be sued for irresponsible actions by their membcii, there is a cost imaposedl by those pro- vinces with more liberal regu- lations. Every illegal act car- ries a dollar cost which, ulti- mately, is passed along to the consum ers- who, generally, are found in ail parts of the countrv. SThere's a role for unions, even if that role is nso longer as im portant as in years gone by. Just as it deniaru'à. rights, however, organized labour should face social responsi- bilities specified by law. It isn't good enough to trade thse tyranny of capitalisin for thse tyranny of organized labour. Thmink aI arianeditoriai mnessage from the Cna Federation o needn BUSiýness Newcastle board of educatio n appoints The Education Relations Commission today announced the appointment of Mr. Har- vey L.

Food specialists at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, say that getting a good gel is probably one of the biggest problems when mak- ing jelly. Perfect jellies will hold their shape when turned. out on the plate, but stl quiver when the plate is moved. One of the secrets of gelling lies in the proportions and types of ingredients - fruit, sugar, acid and pectin (comn- mnercial or natural). Always use a tested recipe fromn an authentic source and neyer alter the quantities of ingred- ients. Reducing the amount of Orono society exhibited several dozen entries and the prizes were especially good in glad sections. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Brown received 2 firsts, 1 second, Mrs. Challice 1 first, 1 third and Minnie Zegers receîved the prize for most entries in specimen classes, as well as many other prizes. Merlin Slute, Bow- manville society president recieved most points in the arrangement classes and Mrs. Barney Dilling, also Bowmanville the most points in entire show. Gladys Moffat, Orono, was also one of the lucky draw winners. On Wednesday eveming se- eral carloads travelled over to Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Barnes residence, Baseline Rd., Bow- manville, to viewý their very delightful gardens. Mrs. Barnes is a gladiola expert and has several thous- and glads in varying shades and varieties. Much admired also were her excellent Afri- can violet collections, under lights. A light lunch was served to all and- a small gif t was presented to Mrs. Barnes for her gracious hospitality. 1Remember our annual show this week, Thursday, and plan to enter -your best flowers and vegetables.

If you are using commer- cial pectin, follow the direct- ions on the label. However, if you're making jelly without pectin, you'll have to test the jelly to see if it is done. To do this, dip a cool metal spoon into the boiling jelly mixture. Hold the spoon well above the pot of jelly and allow the syrup to run off the side of the spoon. When the syrup forms two distinct lines or drops that finally, flow or "sheet" together, the jelly is done. The refrigerator test is another way to test jelly made without pectin. Remove the jelly pot from the heat. Pour a smiall amount of jelly on a cold saucer and chili quickly. If the jelly gels to proper thickness, it's done. lh not, cook the jelly a few minutes longer and test again. SPECIAL Ail the FIsh and Chips you can eat, $1.85 Tuesdays and Wednes- days.
