2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 25th, 1978 Orono Weekly Times COUNCIL - KEEP OUT The Town of Newcastle council through their deliberations have passed a motion in which they have objected to the proposed telephone rate increases being sought by Community Telephone Company who serve the Orono area. The motion does give approval however providing the telephone free calling area is extended to include Bowmnanviile and Hlampton. The proposai submitted by council will only increase telephone costs to every user in the Orono area whther they use the extended service or not. This was pointed out during a hearing at the last hearinig held in Orono for telephone rate increases by both the company and the chairman of the hearing. At that time the company presented an alternative to the extended area proposai in which subscribers can use what is calied CALPAX, a system whereby long distance calis to Bowmanviile and Oshawa are charged at a reduced rate. The chairman of the hearing was -much in support of this system of charges and said he wished more telephone companies would bring about the same system. He feit it was a most fair system of charges and did give some benefit to those who used the telephone for long distance calîs and at the samne time did not iirease costs for those who did not make that many long distance calîs. It is unfortunate that council members were not present at the hearing for they would have understood the operation much better. The members of council have in the past spoke of 'user pay policy' wherehy those that use a service pay for that service and they appear to be supportive of this policy. CALPAX is such a poiicy, those who use the telephone for long distance cails pay the cost whiie those who use the phone for local cails pay only for that service. The 'user pay policy' is a just policy for the majority. Here at the Times office an extended free caliing area would ikeiy cut our telephone costs but then others on the~ system would be helping to pay for our extended service and gaining no benefit themselves. Don't let a minority increase the costs for the majority and council should keep out of this issue. THE RULE 0F LAW VERSUS THE RULE 0F POWER The jumbled mess developing over ourpostal service seems to boil down, at this timne to the rule of law opposing the rule of power. The government of Canada has in its favour the rule of law while the postal union seems to have the law of power. rule In the end the government and the courts must be the victors through the use of the rule of law even though it could be at great costs providing the labour movement throughout Canada support the rule of power and the postal union. The union has turned down the governments offer of a third party arbitrator and has in fact ordered its members to ignore the law of the land. This cannot continue without some clear action from Ottawa. t was only last summer that President Carter brought in the arniy to sort mail and take a no-nonsense approach to a mail strike. The Canadian government some years ago fired truck drivers when they refused te, end their strike against the post office. This corner sees no sense in levying fines against the inside postal workers for this does not get-the mail moving. It seems more practical to leave the option open through the outlawing of picket lines s0 those who do wish to continue to work may do so and which would also aliow the hiring of new personnel who are certainly availabie fromn the unemploy- ment roles of this country. 0f course this reduces the right to strike but surely that right has been endorsed with reason to be applied on the side of both parties. Sureiy the union lbas been unreaiistic on teclinologicai- change as well as in its demnands to be incorporated in a new contract. But these do not really matter at this point the confrontation is one of law versus power. The right to work appears to be as important as the riglit to strike but this would assîst in the destruction of the The right to work is as fundamental and basic as the riglit ta strike and we feel that this riglit must aiso be protected and further we feel that sometimie in the future this right will be made avaîlable to al].

Round About Us The centrai downtown core of Bowmnanvilie is now in the midst of new street and sidewaik construction or at least the preparation of sucli work. At ieast haîf of the downtown area as to King Street has been dug up in preparation to new. paving, curbing and sidewalk con- struction. It is expected that when the western section of the street is usable work wiii commence on the eastern section of the main street. Alsô at the beginning of the year the demoliion of exist- ing buildings at the northeast corner of Temperance and King street wiii get underway The buildings are7 being, demolished in preparation for the construction of a new downtown brandi of the Canadian Imperiai Bank of, Commerce. t is expected that the new branch building wiil be ready for occupancy in the faii of 1979. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce now operates out of its premises on the southwest corner of Temperance and King Street. The bank first'opened in this location in 1881 as the Standard Bank. Orders to make restitution Three youths from Bow- manvilie were ordered to make restitution for damages to windows, mailboxes and car windows in Bowmianviile provincial court. The trio were also piaced on probation for a period of two years and to stay away from one another during the probation period. During a vandalism -ram- page in the Orono area the- three had caused damages amounting to almost $1000.00. The three youths, ahl of Bowmanville, Kenneth Aug- er, Robert Taylor and Ste- phen Thajer pieaded guilty to their charges in court. Included in the vandalisnx were two smashed windows at Alice's Restaurant, north of Orono on Highway 115, a smashed window at the Dur- ham Farmer's Co-op, another smashed window at Arm- strong's IGA as well as several home windows.
