A dinner at Welcome Court followed the Open House Activities. By: Roy Forrester The Oil Baron Arrives Christmas was especially joyous at the Forresters this year for it was the first time in six years that all were home for Christmas and along with this new addition of a grandchild. It was a time to whoop it up a little and to dart back and forth into into past years when the now mothers, were kids. Tim, Nancy and Jamie arrived in Orono mid last week from the oil rich province of Alberta escorted by the Oil Baron, a liver and white springer Spaniel called Brandy. We have nicknamed nicknamed the dog 'Lougheed' or "Oil Baron" after Peter Lougheed, Premier of Alberta. They both have' droppy eyes, both speak with a droll, both well groomed and both wanting of the comfort that oil taxes bring. As to comfort 'Lougheed' was to have the run of the house which he certainly enjoys in his own home in Edmonton. 'Lougheed' paced all through the tight when not another creature was stirring much to the distraction of those not accustomed accustomed to such antics. Whether it was because of oil royalties or having to give some grohnd cm the constitution to Pierre we will never know. The word did come down however that something would have to be done to settle 'Lougheed' in his new surroundings. The opportunity did arise for we had a date with our granddaughter granddaughter to gd Cross Country Skiing Saturday afternoon and we readily said we would take 'Lougheed' who is accustomed to the fat life of the west and riding around in Cadillacs. 1 Stopping at the New Dutch' Oven for gas with 'Lougheed' and our dog, we were reminded of just who was paying for that fat life and Caddies. A sign read "government taxes 2412 cents per litre" and no doubt Lougheed gets the lion's share. When we explained to our 'Lougheed' he wasn't moved a bit, " still sitting erect and looking straight ahead. We swung east from Kirby to pick up Sid Rutherford, who when getting into the car asked, "What's with the dog?" Of course we related the story and Sid did comment that the 'Oil Baron' did resemble Peter Lougheed and did appear to enjoy the good life and did want to hold his position in the front seat. Later in the afternoon Kelly, Sid and I were resting atop a sharp hill discussing the enthusiasm being shown by 'Lougheed' in his new environment and wondering if we were accomplishing our objective of slowing him down so he would sleep the night through. We decided 'Lougheed' was holding up well and we would have to put a little more effort into act. We knew full well that we could ski down the hill and have enough momentum to reach the crest of the next hill. With this in the back of our mind we told 'Lougheed' there was oil at the top of the next hill. Much to our surprise 'Lougheed' started off down the hill. We took off as well with a few hoops and hollers of here comes Pierre and Retro Canada, -here comes Bill and Suncor. With that 'Lougheed' dug in, lengthened his stride and quickened his pace. Taking a glance back he found, us on his heels and then really turned it on. Unfortunately, it was the wrong hill, things do look different in winter. It's the crest of the next hill. , * At this point we had to take compassion for 'Lougheed.' He was showing the strain and we were sure he would sleep the At Clarke with Wendy By: Wendy Procher Clarke High School News The Prom, "Frosty's Fantasy" Fantasy" held at Port Darlington Marina Dec. 17th. was a great success.

Some 3,500 salaried workers with GM have had their holidays cut in half and as well the cost of living allowances reduced by $16.20 every day they are off work. Ten supplementary days off have also been cancelled. Murphy said the union had tried to unionize the salaried workers but this effort had always failed.

We even allowed him to walk on the back of our skis for the rest of the trip and one would have to give him credit for figuring this out as a simple manner to travel through the deep snow. Arriving home we made sure he had a dinner fit for ah oil baron realizing this would add to sleep. It worked, 'Lougheed' never raised a muscle all night long and we are sure of this for he slept on the mat at the sideqf the bed. We have to give 'Lougheed' his dues, he is as tenacious as his counterpart in Alberta. Next morning at 9:00 he was at our heels when we picked up the skis for another outing. Although • we originally left without him he was still in hot pursuit a couple couple of blocks from home. Stop the car, open the door, and in jumps the Oil" Baron from Edmonton.
