Vaudeville takes hold locally -Busties and Beaus a hit at Orono Town Hall It was a delightful entertaining trip into the past on Saturday night in the 92 year-old Orono Hall when Kathie Guselle and Harry McKew presented their production of Vaudeville theatre. The impact on the capaclty au- dience was attested to by the rousing standing ovation awarded the two performers after an hour and a half on stage. The carefree trip into the past was fuît of gay songs, ballacis, humour and excellent stage presence and movement. A well balanced show for any audience and it was vaudeville to enjoy. The stage setting was simple but effective and throughout the perfor- mance the audience was receptive and ready to participate when called upon to do so.

Everyone enjoyed the music of Keith Wood and Friends. 'he floor was full when it was time to square dance. 1Jacqueline Vaneyk was the lucky winner of the 50150 Draw. There was no shortage of sandwiches for later i the evening. It was a sure sigil of the good wishes of the local community. Monday evening, local counicil appointed a committee to administer the funds that have been collected. Neil AIlin, Past President of the Durham Region Federation of Agriculture said he has collected approximately $1500 sînce the time of Orono Fair.

The Garbage Reduction program being promoted by the No Ganaraska Dump committee is gaining momentum and whereas there was a thirty percent participa- tion the first week that has grown to 62 percent for the second week, last week. The area affected by the program includes some 170-175 homes bounded in an area from Highway 115 east to the Kendal-Newtonville Road and between the seventh line and the fifth ýline road. According to a news release issued by Kristin McCrea on Mon- day the 62 percent participation represents 341 people in that par- ticulqr area. McCrea states the results look good when the average person in the pLqgram deposits 13/4 lbs of garbage a week comparîng with 19 pounds on average niationally. Mc- C rea puts it another way - 91 pounds per person per year compar- ing with 1000 pounds per person na- tionally. The release states that Garbage awareness appears to be catchîng on and that Patty Lucas of Kendal is now organizing the village residents to take part. Information sheets have been distributed through the churches in Kendal, Newtonville and Shiloh. McCrea states that if other people wish to take part they could caîl in their weights to her at 983-0339 or to obtain information on how to take part and what can be done. The report again points to plastic as being the top problem on the list. "We know they can be recycled, Durham Region knows they can be recycled. When, is the question I keep hearing," states McCrea. Other problems include ight bulbs, bacon packaging, toothpaste tubs, kitty litter and styrofoam trays. Mc- Crea states, "what is surprising just how small the problem list actually The hint list continues to grow with milk bags being suitable for sewing patterns, buying in bulk and storing foods in reusable con- tainers, sharing compost piles and take your own bags to the stores. McCrea points out that a number of stores in Orono are now asking if we need a bag?" She asks the ques- tion, "Do we." McCrea also points out that each single person can make a difference and does make a difference. She points out that the Kirby School is encouraging students to bring gar- bage -free lunches and that many are now setting up composting bins. In that one teacher in the area is stressing environmental awareness over a broad range of topics is just another example of what one per- son can do, states McCrea. -l would like to meet the politican who would not takernotice of 62 percent of the electorate ac- tively demonstrating that they are willing to reduce the amount of waste produced,'- said McCrea. "This 62 percent is made up of "One Persons". Seeks injunction to stop ail -dumping at Laidlaw Don Scott of the Committee of Clarke Constituents addressed council on Monday evening outlin- ing contents of a recent letter to the Ministry of the Enivironment and outlining recent developments at the Laidlaw dump in the Newton- ville area. Scott noted that a recent applica- tion for an emergency licence to continue operation was denied by the Ministry of the Environment. He further noted that Laidlaw was keeping the dump operating with one load of garbage a day. He said Laidlaw will not accept the fact that the dump is ckcised, has reached capacity but continues to be operated on a technicality. 11(Continued page 3) Pathfinders receive Canada Cord by Shelley Allin Happeniongs ORONO TOWN HALL EUCHIRE RESULTS The Orono Town Hall euchre results for Wednesday, October l7th: High scores- Helen Couroux with 78; Edgar Milîson with 77; Dora MacDonald, Marg Linton and Carl -Tamblyn each with 76.
