History boring? ! by Sheri Yeo There are many businesses in Orono that have been around for many years, being passed from father to son. In the October 1, 1931 edition of the Orono News (brought to us by Mr. Stan Ball), many family names do appear.

Smyth, M.A., B.D., Minister. " John G. Gilfillan, Phm. B., Druggist and Optometrist. I have found, in my reading , of old newspapers, that the advertising very often verges on the ridiculous, take this one for instance: "When I was first married I had a miscarriage and felt perfectly perfectly miserable. "I took three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Vegetable compound and later gave birth to a fine baby boy. "I now have five children. I always take the Vegetable Compound during pregnancy, and it helps me. It benefits my sisters-in-law too". Mrs. W.J. Zinstonc, , R.R.2, Lakefield, Ont. Who says history is boring?

Unfortunately, the earliest of these do not report too much on local events - the tendency was to use filler items, usually amusing, from American newspapers - for example, tongue-in-cheek instructions instructions from the 'Maine Farmer' on how to make a bonnet out of a pumpkin. Even so, their content is • fascinating in its variety and contrast to that in today's papers. Ads for local 'stores filled about half the space;, in addition to these, and various Canadian and foreign news items, there were doctors' and dentists' ads, patent medicine ads and testimonials, testimonials, past and future social events, Council ' minutes, minutes, and in the early papers, lists of letters "not previously advertised" waiting to be picked up at the Post Office. Intriguing notices appear: "Lost -Â Mink Muff was lost. . "Any person or persons found cutting standing or lying timber, or otherwise abstracting wood from the bush on the middle or north end of Lot 13, East half, in the 2nd Concession, Darlington, shall be prosecuted..." (this. one ran for weeks, and had apparently been posted since . November .1865); and the Hoop Skirt factory was moved moved "to opposite the house formerly occupied by Mr. A short story and poetry was always part of the content too. The editor evidently evidently had problems with a continuous output of poems ; at one point, a notice appears warning that as he had enough to print for a year, poets should buy advertising space for their works, and those who pre-paid would get them in the newspaper first. And in the February 14, 1879 issue, under 'Fun and Faces', there was this further discouragement: discouragement: "Now that Mr. G.H. Pedlar, of Oshawa, sends a man here occasionally occasionally to buy up old paper, there is not so much objection as there was to our friends sending in original poetry". Look for more exerpts next week, and the following week I'll tell you about the snowstorm snowstorm they reported February, February, 27, 1868. Holliday pointed out to council council that as long as there was contaminated waste stored at the site it had been licenced and it made no difference if new material was being disposed at the site. He said conditions of the licence have certainly been upgraded over the past few years. Holliday also said it was revealed at a meeting in Ottawa in which he had attended along with Counc. Clarke and members of SEAP that the level of contamination contamination of waste now being taken to the disposal site is much lower than in the past. Higher contaminated waste is ' either being disposed at the plant or elsewhere, said Counc. Holliday. Mayor Rickard said the site appears to have improved several folds over the past few years. Counc. . Cowman read a report from a medical press in which a Dr. McDermott stated that he had been associated with Eldorado since the 1930s and during that period only three cases of cancer were known to him of those that had worked in the plant.
