The list of accomplishments by the recipient is long indeed and that it has been . recognized by the highest honour of the country is most rewarding for the hours upon hours this man has contributed to the community community and the nation. Congratulations. No Great Surprise * It surely was no surprise that the Ontario Provincial Provincial government is not to take any action in an effort to roll back fee increases for doctor's service which could bring them in line with provincial guidelines. The Minister, Larry Grossman, has talked tough but it has all stopped there. It is difficult for us to consider the doctors any different than teachers and the restraint program does affect teachers and has been placed in line for that group in our society. Grossman continues his tough talk and looks to the next time for negotiations. Will it be any different. Tree planting comes to a halt The Orono Downtown Businessmens' Association Association ran into a snag this ; week when about to plant six shae trees in the business section. The program was already to roll on and cutting of the holes had commenced when it dawned on the group that they should contact the public works department department of the Town of Newcastle. Yes they should have a permit from the Town, from the Region and aS well get clearance from the Newcastle Hydro Commission and clearance from Bell telephone and Consumers Gas. Needless to say the program rolled to a halt. Its not like the old days. » . Canada Post continues to improve, president says dent, Canada Post Corporation. Corporation. Canada Post Corporation is continuing to make significant significant progress in imprpv- ing its service and its response response to customer needs. R. Michael Warren, President President and ChieKExecutiVe Officer said recently . Speaking to a meeting of • the Advertising and Sales Club of Toronto, Warren said: "Our survey of perfor- . marice across Canadâ, which is backed 'by tests run by a number of our customers, customers, shows that we've " reversed the slide into poor service and are climbing steadily towards pur standards. standards. " / ' 'There are still 2 or 3 problem plants in the system," system," he said, "but most are performing close the national average. Local mail in Toronto for instance is delivered on time - that is, thé next day - 92.3% of to 90.8% last year at this time," he said. Warren, who was hired to turn the Post Office Department Department into a Crown Corporation, Corporation, using a "more business-like approach", asked the members' for their patience and cooperation. cooperation. • "We were not established to perpetuate the past," he . said, "this is why we are setting up resident quality- control teams in each of our 29 major plants, Kendal News Few are born to do the great work of the world; but all can make the home circle brighter. Seasons vary a great deal. When my brother Fred was born April 18, 1908 the peas were up in the big field north of the church. These peas, when harvested, were shipped by Hume, of Port Hope, to plant the gardens of England. This year all records were broken for low temperature on that date, any peas would have been frozen. At that time we and our neighbours sold a great many barrels of apples to England. How Spring birds cope Each April and May, the new-found warmth of a spring spring landscape ; welcomes millions of migrating birds on their way northward. Like great rollers of surf rushing up the continent, wave after wave of birds come across Ontario. First conte the waterfowl, the robins and grackles, then the sparrows, kinglets, and swallows, and in mid-May, the swelling throng of wood warblers, flycatchers, and vireos that will liven northern forests with their song. The urge to migrate is born in a bird's glands, part of the same urge that eventually will lead to proclaiming a territory territory and building a nest. But the timing is influenced a good deal by the weather. Some "birds are predictable -the -robin, for example, follows an average spring temperature of 38 degrees F north at a rate of about 60 miles per day. Many others migrate in stages, covering , .long distances when the . weather is favourable, and v then stopping for a few days or a week to rest and feed before moving on. Occasionally, of course, the hopes of spring are dashed dashed by a late storm, spawned by those infamous high- pressure. cells over Hudson Bay. Many of the hardier birds can wait out such a storm, huddled deep in the shelter of an evergreen swamp and feeding on buds or berries. Others, such as the insect-eaters, must flee southwards. If they are unlucky, the alternative is death, sometimes in large numbers. This "reverse migration" is a regular feature of migration migration along the Great. Lakes, especially at jumping-off points such as Point Pelee. Even in fine weather, a few individuals can be seen taking off southwards. No one is sure whether they return later, or whether they are just confused. If you want to make the most of spring migration, keep an eye on the weather. Generally, fair skies and' southerly winds will open the door for new arrivals. But the trading practices have changed!. changed!. We seldom see "Made in England" woollens any more. Instead we read "Made in Tawain, Korea, China, Japan, etc". On Sunday morning we were pleased to have Rev. Boyd Butt from St. John, New Brunswick as special speaker. Mrs. Butt sang beautifully as a solo "Room for Jesus" accompanied by Mrs. Fern Foster. The scripture reading was I Samuel 21 V 6-9 and I John 4-7. Rev. Boyd Butt told us the theme of the Bible Society for the eighties was, "God's word open for all". He told us that one half the population population of the world have not one word of scripture in their language. David had to unwrap the Noon- Hour Busing (Continued from page 1) objected. The meeting for 7:30 this Thursday was arranged arranged for a final decision. In presenting the motion to discontinue noon-hour transportation the board , was informed that they would cut some $264,000.00 from transportation costs of which' amount $92,000.00 comes directly from taxpayers in the school board area. Douglas Sifton the director of education for the Board has stated thaï research shows that alternate day kindergarten has no impact on students attending. He said studies have found no difference : with the alternate day to the five half days a week. He also reports that-many boards across the province have turned to the alternate day kindergarten classes and sword of Goliath So the Bible Bible translators have to (unwrap) (unwrap) translate the word of / God into the language spoken by the people. We are able together to share the word with others. Remember the.Auction & Bake Sale at Newton ville in the church yard at 12:30 on May 7th. It costs 45 cents to send the Orono Times to Regina. We are sorry to report that Mrs. R. Elliott has had to return to hospital, Oùr hope is that she may be helped this time. One can not help but marvel at the courage shown by our' pioneers. In last week's paper I told you that Fletcher Carscaddèn's grandfather grandfather arrived here in 1837. He was a weaver by trade, an indoor man but when he heard of a rebellion against the young monarch, Queen Victoria, he immediately decided, as a loyal subject, it was his duty to shoulder his musket and walk fifty miles in the late November of a Canadian winter to Yonge Street. He persuaded his neighbour also. I wonder what he put in his knapsack. How many pairs of socks would be needed for a hundred hundred mile walk. In those'days all were hand-knitted. Mitts also would be needed. Then think of-the food. Plenty of ' ham, cheese and fruit cake would be put in. Their supply of bread would, soon be exhausted. exhausted. When Gus Wilson and Ed Ellis, 'our neighbours in , Saskatchewan, were travelling travelling across the prairie on foot to thfeir homestead they ran out of bread. Ed Ellis had brought along a stone jug of pickles. 1 They wished the . pickles' would turn into bread. However they were fortunate^ on that sparsely settled prairie, they came upon a European woman's sod shack. She had baked 1 that morning. Alf her bread mentioned neighbouring boards of Victoria, Hastings, Prince Edward and Lennox and Addington who now ad- minister alternate day kindergarten classes. William Carman, trustee for Ward 3 states studies do show that the best alternative is full day kindergartens five days a week and he supports Sifton in his remarks that studies reveal no difference in alternate days to the five half day classes a week. Carman further expresses the opinion that it is a minority minority who are objecting and that some of the'objection is being kindled by a couple of teachers. Parents of kindergarten ■ children state the alternative day kindergarten will be disruptive for the children .< and that children do not have the attention span to'cope with all-day kindergarten. * Carman, chairman .of finance, states the Board is faced with at least a 14.304 mill rate increase this year and this dops not include the inclusion of the $264,000.06 expenditure for noon-hour transportation. best birding may» come just afterwards, when cold headwinds headwinds or rain and fog fbree migrons to the ground. If you are' out and about on such a day, th'e woods may be alive with birds that you won't see at any other time of year. was in one big loaf the size of her dishpan. They paid her fifty cents for it and it lasted several days till they reached their homestead. The morning after the husbands had gone to war the two wives were sitting on the doorstep of the log cabin feel ing bad. 1 It was Indian Summer; Summer; Ann said, "Cheer Up If they don't come back there - are lots more men." " Now Attn that is far from your hearhl" said her neighbour. At that time Reg Elliott's great-grandfather Dean Carscadden would be twelve. David, Joseph, and the two Tittle girls would be younger. Then in the home would be Ann's family. All anxiously awaiting the return of John. How fortunate that the shooting was over when he reached Yonge Street.
