?-Orono Weedy lThiles, Wt.d ieday lJanuary 16, l985 Second Class Mai RegiFtration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy C 0'orrester, Editor It takes people The Durham Central Agricultural Society which pro- motes the annual fait fair in Orono possibly has one of the longest histories of anv or2anization in this area, welI over one hundred years. Il marks another mitestone this Saturday with the annual meeting being held in the Orono Arena Community Centre. To have such a Iengthy history il must have reached many successes over the years and accomplishments and this bas to be attributed to people in tbis area who gave of thecir time and talents in the annual promotion. The fair bas meet the challenge of changing times and to continue as a major district attraction it must have met these changes with new visions, ideas and considerable effort on the part of the individual members of the society. The out-going president of '83-'84, Don Welsh, catis for interested persons to join the society to bring forth new ideas, enthusiasm and advancements for the fair and this will be one of the needs for the future if the fair is to continue as in the past and to hold its place as a major attraction for the district. The society itself must be ready and willing to accept new concepts and to give intent hearing to new ideas. Its not enough to just seek new members and we do beleive the Socie- ty is open for an infusion of those new ideas and enthusiasm. You can help make the Orono fair an even better feature of this community by playing a part in the develop- ment of the program that appears at the fair grounds eacb and every year in early September. Attendance at the annual meeting is a good place to start and that opportunity is available this Saturday at the Community Centre starting at 1:30 p.m. What A Difference Ever sînce Regional government came t'o this neck of the woods the Orono business section was generally a disaster area following any snow stormn of any magnitude. This was flot the case following the most recent fait of snow for the streets were cleaned of the white powder early in the morning and those entering Oâno were greeted witb a wide street allowing parking and devoid of the obstacle of cimbing over mounds of snow to get from the roadway to the sidewalk. Certainly a welcomed changed from the past and from all reports we may look forward to such service in the futuire and hopefully itwill extend to cleaning of dirt and debris in the summer. The past problem appears to have been a breakdowýn in communication between the Town and the Region. With this repaired we look forward to a brighîer, cleaner future in downtown Orono. Where do you stand? One of the better articles we have read for somnetime had to be that of David T. Suzuki, host of the Nature of * Things on CBC. The article appeared in the Toronto Star last Saturday and reflected the opinions of Suzuki as to federal funding cuts affecting the CBC. One would have to agree that Suzuki is one of the brigbtest personalities of the CBC and as well a-gree with himr * that the CBC is one of theimost important cultural institutions in Canada. It serves an enormous range of Canadianis across this nation as no private enterprise could or would. The CBC is often used as a scapegoat and as wýell frownied upon f'or no other reason than it is supported to a degree by public funds from the federal, governmrent. The CBC does have miany noteable programns and ,ucli as The Nature of Things bias an international following. No doubt there are areas that cani bc critized but then so, can the private stations and one will recail that year after year many of their programns, even those produced in the UI.S., are, dismal failures and soon leave the screen 10 m-ake way for re- runs. Il is important that we do have a Canadiani image and! that we are proud of those things, that are Canadian and the CÏC sould be included in such list of enlerprises nin tis coýun- try. Let's flot sel] ourselves short. OLD TYRONE HALL A HOT ITEM Two Tyrone organiizationis, the 1 O.A. Hall Board and the Tyrone Athletie Association, are both interested in ga1iw>in ownersbip oif tfie Old Tyrone Comm.iiuiîy Hall and hiave made2 their intentions known to the Town of Newcastle.
