2--Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 26th, 1975 or on o we e k 1 y times NEEDS SOME LOVING CARE The Town H ali clock has certainly been neglected of late and really serves no purpose at this time as all three faces give forth with a different time. Not only is the time very iratic but its forces are in need of some cosmetics to give it a lift. The clock has been around for a long time and the Town could get along without it but being a feature for so long it would seem appropriate to get it working properly again. The Town of Newcastle last year took a quick interest in the time piece but this soon faded to the point that the clock now continually has a frown on its face. On ; suggestion in the past few days that this project could well be one for the Orono Chamber of Commerce, providing they would come out of the woodworks, after what has been a hibernation period this winter. It is a shame that the clock has been left on its own for so long and surely it deserves some attention especially since it sits on a municipal building and is in the heart of the community. It appears a good project for some group in the community. GAMBLING OUR WAY TO A UTOPIA This week the Provincial government is making announcement of their lottery,in advertisements in the press and other media. The advertisement surely gives one a lift when reading it and one visualizes the activities of this province taking off into a never-never land. It speaks of a new Ministry that is simply to help each one of us to get more out of life. ' The ad also states "It's like a kind of awakening. More and more Of us are getting into things. " This new feature into a richer life comes about through gambling sponsored by the Provincial government where they claim everyone is a winner. It is unfortunate that we must gamble ourselves into this new state of living and let there be no doubt it is still going to cost you the dollars and cents to pay for this dream. . Whether wé are taxed or buy lottery tickets the money still comes from our earnings and there is little difference. The fact that the province may obtain this money with little complaint will only make them a little freer with its distribution and the value of the dollar will only reduce still further. The fact that other use the same means to gain funds is no justification and it is unfortunate that we have come to the point of paying our bills and satisfying our wants through gambling.
