2- Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 29,1982 Second Class Mail Registration Nurnber OOM Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy Forrester, Editor il Culture and Recreation Master Plan Under Wraps, Thse Town of Newcastle has now received their Culture a'nd Recreation Master Plan that has been ini the mak- ing for the past two years. Immediately it was received it went under wraps and is being withheld from public viewing. It does appear, from comments from the elected, that the report contains more than they are ready to accept. This may ,be the case but is hardly justification to immediately stack tise report in a vault with sucis time as it can be revised. It would be interesting to see what the Town has received for its $32,000 especîally prior to tampering by the politicians. It must also be remembered that the public was very much involved in the' document. A local committee met repeatedly for almost a year in drafting up g.uidel;nes for the consultants of tise Master Plan, McLaren Plansearcis. Following this, local citizens throughout ail areas of the Town met And a New Year Dawns With Much To Be Donc The ringing in of a New Year must have for most men and women a sense of optimism, a new beginning and new challenge. Neyer, over thse last forty years, has there been such a need for optimism and the acceptance of challenge as there is today. As a world society there is so much to be done it staggers the imagination. But if mankind is to survive a start must be made and with ail the en- thusiasm that can be mustered. Tise great explorers of the i 700s stepped into the unknown as did our forefatisers who set the -course for Norths America. They faced insur- mounitable odds but did succeed tisrougis their grit, determination and no doubt their optimism. We look back on.them with pride and admiration. They were the ex- plorers of thse new frontier. NOT A FLAKE IN SIGHT Driving past the Oshawa Ski Hill on Sunday it was almost what one would cail somnewhat ecrie. December 26th and flot a flake of snow, where at this time of year the hili should have been covered with white snow dotted by thousands of skiers. As of Tuesday there seems littie hope for a white week-end over New Years. ORONO DEPARTMENT CALLED TO CHIMNEY FIRE Sunday the Orono Fire Department was called to a chimnney fire at Shelly Mercers on Church Street North. There was no fire damage and the department was able to returfi almost im- mediately to the hall. Order of Canada (Continued from page 1) 1100 acres with a diverse operation and includes Ceremdale Fertifizers Ltd. Ris farm operation has won many awards th-rougis tise years as isas Rickard iself. Rickard was President of tise Canadian Seed Growers' Association from 1963 to 1965 and four years ago was delegated witls otisers to visit Russia and other European countries. He was President with McLarens to discuss recreation and culture in the Town. This was followed by a circulation of a quest ion- nlaire in which local citizens and ratepayers were called upon to answer numerous questions. Very few documents of this nature would have sucis an opening to the electorate and those concerned with culture and recreation in Newcastle. Surely the consultants must have had somne regard for what they heard and read. Amazingly Town council has put the report under wraps, away from the very people who were involved and for which tise report was to have served. If the politicians are about to have it "their way", why did they bother to spend the $32,000 in thse first place.' Thse general public may well agrce that the Master Plan is just too much for the Town of Newcastle but it does seem they should have the, right to make that judgement from a document that is unabridged. Frontiers exist today. Can we measure up to our forefathers and make our mark in society? Can we break through that cloud of pessimism and self-pity? Our presenit economic times are sucis to challenge men to forge ahead with new ideas, new visions and ventures. We have filled our homes with aIl the gadgetry we can use so we must turfi elsewhere to boîster the economy. It will take optimism, grit and deter- mination. Thse social aspect throughtout the world has deteriorated over the past century to the point in many instances, where life has no value and thse human being is no more than a baIl in a game of chance. *Yes, there is much to be done and many frontiers to open. It will require the grit, and determination of our forefathers. Paul Kelcey (Continued from page 1) following completion of the Institute's continuing educa- tion program at Trent University.

Chsristmas Day 1982~ was the warmest ince records began 10 degrees Calcium or 61 degrees Fahrenheit in Toronto. However, it was not a pleasant day because somnetimes it rained a little and was foggy at other times. The next day Sunday was brigist and sunny and many Christmas diners were en- joyed and family gatiserings held. There has been a lot of mild and rainy weatiser this December. It has been easy on the fuel. Mrs. Les Morgan saw four robins on December the 2lst. On Sunday- morn ing the scripture reading was read by Glen Foster. St. Matthew 2.1-14. Rev. A. Tizzard's story was "The Christmas Pie." He chose as iis subject "Around Manger and Throne" when Christ was borts there were animais in tise stable. Animnais have been closely connected witis the churcis. On tise Day of Atonement tise iigis priest placed tise sins of tise Jewish people on a goat and it was sent away into the wilderness. David was a sisepherd. He wrote, "The Lord is my shepherd and we are tise sheep of isis pasture." Tise sisepiserds were guarding tiseir sheep whek tise Angel appeared and told them tise glad tiding of great Joy, "Unto you is bornsa Saviour." Tise Sisepherd returned from Bethslehsem singing praises to God 80 we do ever ince. The -lamb of God taketis away tise sins of tise world. We do not know wisat tise future holds. We wiil ail have our moments of happiness. "He leadetis me sometimes 'nid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bower'm bloom. By waterm calm or troubled mca stili 'tis His hand that leadetis me." We do flot know that ina aI 365 days Ood will bc tisere.

Let us remember the happy events of the past year and tell them. Gordon Sinclair said early last week, "They forecast a warm Christmas maybe as warm as 1932, which has been the warmest thus far." Then he said, "I remember the 1932 Christmas because our littie girl-, our youngest child, was just learning to walk and she was walking on our lawn that Christmas day. The recorded temperature was 57 degrees F. " Now 1 aiso remember Christmas 1932 as a very joyful Christmas. First my mother wrote from Davidson Saskatchewan saying she was sending a turkey to Kendal. She had a large flock of turkeys. 1 was at King se 1 thought lil try te get to Ken-, dal for Christmas. 1 spent my week-ends in Woodbridge with the Tamblyns. My aunt, Mrs. Tamblyn said maybe we 'il go to Kendal for Christmas if 1 can persuade your Uncle Charlie to drive. So Christmas morning saw us ready real early for this long drive of 75 miles in an open touring car, a Grey Dort. 0f course we would stay two or three days. The top speed on the trip would be 35 miles an hour. When we ar- rived a fine fire was blazing in the old fashioned fireplace ini the dining-room. The turkey was cooked pçrfectly by my Grandmother. The day was sunny and bright just like a spring day in fact the temperature was 57 F. Then a couple of days later it turned very colti. Would the car freeze? My Uncle had heard that if water and honey were mixed and put in the radiator this would prevent freezing. So he made up the syrup and put it in the radiator. Since it had rained at night he put on chains. There was a bitter, cold wind blowing se the side curtains had to be buttoned on. Then we started. We met other cars on No. 2 Highway steaming like a tea kettle. It wasn't long before our engine began to thump it was starting to freeze up down below s0 we took the cap off the radiator and steamed mnto a garage. The garage mans said, "What you need iyour rad. is coal oil. It won't freeze. " Se we bought coal oiù from him. The car was pli covered wi, drops of honey. Honey o'rî the windshield, honey on thse door knobs. What a sticky mness! Not long after the now familiar thump began again. The next garage man drained out the coal oiù. He said, 1"l1il MIî your rad. with boiling water the day is warmer now, maybe you'll get home," and we did. My Uncle said, "Neyer again would he take a long trip at Christmas." One lady said she had a large Christmas Cactus three years and it had neyer bloom- ed . She had it-sitting un a win- dow where the street light beamed in ail night. It must be placed un a dark room at night if you want it to flower. Kendal- Church organ was played December 29th 1955 for the first time at a service.
