2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 19,1981. 0rano Ueefelp finies Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication . Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor YES WE AGREE We certainly have to agree with the Orono group in their circulation of a petition calling for the government government of Canada to eliminate the right to strike by those providing a public service. Of course to take such action would gain considerable support but on the other hand there would be a great outcry by organized labour in what would be a right they have obtained over the years. We see no difference between the services of postal workersto that of hospital workers, one having the right to strike the other not having such a right. There is no rigid guideline in determining the right to strike or not to strike, it is a human decision. The postal strike of recent weeks was (jisruptive to the country and individuals as equal to that of the hospital strike of some months ago. On the other side of the coin the individual has lost the right to enter the job market without interference interference from organized labour. To work at the Darlington Darlington Generating station one must be a member of the local union and it is through this union that the hiring is done. The same is true in many cases with the individual having no right to refuse membership if they so wish to work at a certain job. Bette Stephenson when Minister of Labotir for the Ontario government addressed this question to a degree but since nothing has been heard of the study or of any recommendation. There is also the question of a union having the right to judge a worker who has defied its call to strike and remains on the job while the union is on strike. It amounts to harassment and is Something most people cannot cope with. There is a definite loss of right for the individual. Yes we will sign the petition. What Others Say Watchdog for Post Office We must admit to some misgivings when it was first announced that Canada Post Office would become a Crown corporation on Sept. 1 this year. After all, Air Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation are also Cjrown corporations and they are not without their labor problems. Right now, almost unnoticeable as it is, the CBC is locked in a labor dispute with its technicians. Second, the announcement that the post office would come out of direct control by the government was welcomed with open arms by the postal unions. There was a suspicion that they could envisage a more" generous bout of negotiations. But, if Canada Post Corporation follows the routé of 1 its counterpart in Britain, maybe there is sopie light at the end of the tunnel. - The British post office became a Crown corporation , in 1967 and has passed through the last decade without a postal strike. Observers like to point out that the British ppst officp shows an annual profit in the neighbourhood of $100 million but we believe the most important aspect of the British system is the service. The British pasties pride themselves in being able to boast that 90, percent of first class mail is delivered the next day. * One could argue that postal costs in Britain pay for all that service. A first class letter costs about 30 cents Canadian compared to our 17 cents. But let's not forget that our postal service is subsidized subsidized by about the same amount the British system earns. We have never had-any one (other than postal workers) suggest that our mail service is tardy because our post office is cutting corners. The British, however, have adopted one other system that is not included in our new corporate package - the Post Office Users Council. It's an independent body and hears all complaints against the post office. It was this group that set the target of 90 percent of first class mail to be delivered within 24 hours. We look forward with anticipation to , the new corporate corporate post office but suggest that'we go the entire route and set up a Post Office Users Council. That may just be the needle that is necessary to bring our postal service back to what it was yehrs ago. * (from the Oshawa Times) , A tribute to Kendal men To the People of Kendal Since 1949 Mrs. White and I have been spending our summers and week ends on . the property known as the Kendal Fishing Club, established in 1898. When we came, all that remained of the Club were the remains of the foundation of the fireplace, two dilapitated dams, and four pools of the hatchery for separating the trout. As an item of interest, Sir Henry Pollitt is listed as one of the ' participating members of the Club. During our time we have met many interesting people. For a number of years, our main recreation was attending attending the weekly ball games in the park at Kendal. I'd like to thank the sponsors of the ball games in the park because they did add interesting entertainment entertainment for us. Two of the inhabitants were of special interest to me. George Pope, who passed away a few years ago, was my friend, my advisor, and assistant in all my projects, and without him many things would not have been accomplished. At George's funeral his neighbour of about one year came from Toronto to his funeral. He told us that, at first, he could not quite understand George, but before long when George visited him his first remark was "Well George, what will we do today?". To me that was the nicest compliment that could be paid to any person. person. My other choice is Jack Carscadden. Whenever I ran into any special difficulty Jack always came to my rescue. His truck, his tractor or his chain saw was available when I needed it most. One incident stands out in my memory. Coming home one night along the eighth line about 11:30 we discovered a car in turning a corner had landed in the ditch. My first though was "Get Jack". He came with his car but returned returned later with his tractor and got the car safely on its way. Thses two represent the thousands of Canadians who have made this country what it is today. I am proud to ' have shared part of their contribution contribution in building up this great country of ours -Canada. John G. White.

Quebec and other points. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as his scripture Ephesians 6:5-20. In this province we are ordered to "buckle up" when we get - into our cars. Now Paul said "Put on the whole armour of God. " The belt of truth, the shield of faith, everything is for the front. We have to face the enemy. If we' turn our back on the real issues of life, we are in trouble. We can face the issues in times bf sickness, sadness and adversity. adversity. We must be protected by the helmet of salvation. Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "Today has salvation come to this house". Luke 19 v 9. Salvation Salvation cost the Son of God his life. It was costly to Zac- chaeus. He had to climb a tree, he was ridiculed by those around, he had to change his life style. He invited invited Jesus to dinner. Take the sword of the Spirit with you. It is the word of God and it will help you to overcome. overcome. Be clad in the whole armour of'jGod. Pray at all times.

We always get an August drought so it will have to come during the Exhibition Exhibition this year. Farmers plans to put their dry wood into the ■ woodshed for the winter .in August. Then the cistern should be cleaned out in August and when these two things are done, maybe there will be some time left to paint the house before the fall rains'begin.
