2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 16,1988 We can all now help Garbage disposal is possibly one of the biggest problems problems facing not only this municipality, but all such municipalities throughout the country and indeed throughout the world. There is no easy answer and ih fact thère is no safe answer for the disposal of garbage be it buried or incinerated. Either of these disposal methods do create some form of damage to the environment and thus the future health and welfare of all people. But we can help to a degree by taking part in the recycling program that is now at the door of Orono residents and by the end of the year before the door of some 1.25 million residents in Ontario. By no means does this solve all the problems with garbage disposal and the harmful effect it has - but it does help and it is likely through dedicated support for the program that upwards of 30 percent of our throwaways throwaways can be recycled to be used again. The 30 percent figure appears to above average but then recycling is not really that advanced to this point. Cost may have a bearing in future on our attitude to garbage disposal and in the Region of Durham it is interesting to note that disposal costs are skyrocketing from $18.00 a tonne to $50.00 a tonne in the near future. And with estimates that one person produces a tonne of garbage a year a family of four produces a cost of $200.00 a year for the municipality just to bury the junk. And it is expected that collection costs in the early 1990s could reach a similar figure. Our garbage could well become the most costly commodity that we handle and have to pay for. So it behooves us now to take steps to support such programs as recycling and to purchase products with less waste. Industry would soon get the message if their products remained on the shelves. Its up to all to make an.effort to save unnecessary costs and above all to help protect the environment for future generations. A Good Program In checking a consultant's report as to the condition of the Clarke Public Library building in Orono it was learned that much of the work recommended on the building in 1986 was completed in 1987 through the Town of Newcastle Community Community Service department. It was also learned that the same consulting firm is undertaking studies on other municipal buildings and that indeed indeed a similar program of maintenance will be undertaken following their reports. We commend the Town for this business-like approach approach to the property under their care and management. KENDAL NEWS : Oh I love a dear silver that twines in your hair, And a brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care, • I kiss the-dear fingers so toilworn for me. God bless you and keep you, Mother McRee. Sung by John McCormack the famous Irish tenor. We received Quite a surprise when we entered Kendal Sunday School room. All the ' walls had been beautifully decorated and oh the windows were raspberry coloured Venetian blinds. A committee of nine had done the work on Saturday. Saturday.

Mrs. Iris Lambier was in the choir in the absence of the president. president. She opened the meeting with the Mary. Stewart collect and the singing of the "Ode." The secretary-treasurer was unable to be there so we were unable to have the minutes or financial financial report. The pennies for friendship were taken. Then she called on Mrs. Kathy Munckton for her topic. She read an article written by H. Gordon Gordon Green entitled, "It's hard for dad to be a hero in this centrally heated age." Which we enjoye'd about his father. Roll call: Tell a good memory you have of your father. This brought some very interesting interesting stories. Then Mrs. 1. Lambier read a story written by Bill Bramah in his book "Bill Bramah's Ontario." It began, "Did you know that the largest grower of cactus in North America is a 70 year old dynamo who jives in Dundas? ■ Dundas by ,the way is a small town near Hamilton.

Conse quently, wc each have our own favorite customs and songs that we pass along to our children. Last year, on St. Patrick's Day, 1 taught the kids some Irish songs. Several days later, ! overheard my eight- 1 year-old cheerfully singing, "Oh, my name is Mozzarella, I'm the leader of the band..." contributed by Kathy Cozzalino Our U.C.W. is studying "Creation "Creation in Crisis. Rural Life in Canada and Africa." There are many similarities. For example many parts of Africa are semi-arid just like our prairie. Settlers flocked into into southern Saskatchewan before the first World War and ploughed up all the farms. They planted wheat year after year until the "Dirty "Dirty Thirties." The rains failed to come and the top soil blew away. One teacher' told me that she was terrified to ride'to or from school in a dust storm, for fear a car or truck would run into her pony and she'd be killed. The settlers then moved to Northern Northern Saskatchewan's bush land. They left a desert behind them. Now prairie farmers strip farm. Today we have famine in Ethiopia, Angola, Mozambique, and other places in Africa. Have past events in Africa caused this situation? Let us recall some of the past • history of Africa. What was happening happening to the people of Africa 200 years ago? The young men and women were being carried off into slavery by Arab slave traders. Then sold. They crossed the ocean in British sailing ships to America. Eventually the slaves were freed. They didn't have to pick cotton anymore. Where was England to get cotton to keep her cotton mills going? Her merchants were able to buy Egyptian Egyptian cotton. Britain decided to make Egypt and the Sudan part of the British Empire so she could control all the trade in cotton. France decided to make Algiers part of her Empire. Belgium took _ control of the Congo. Portugal claimes Madagasca, and Mozambique, Mozambique, by discovery. • This was the Empire building period. Nothing was done for the " good of Africa. Everything done was to help the Empire. For exam- • pie Britain said, "There should be a railway build from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo. Where can we get labourers that can' work in the Torrid Zone?" They decided that the brown race could work in the Tropical sun. So they brought shiploads of labourers from India. When the railway was build they stayed. Today the third race, the East Indian race, adds to Africa's problems. Then came the' decade of the sixties, sixties, when the colonies began demanding their indépendance. Britain Britain tried to teach her colonies the way of majority self government. However, Belgium and Portugal just pulled up stakes and went back to Europe. Drought and civil unrest continue in several regions of Africa. Mozambique and Angola have armed conflict. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who normally farm now have to think of mere survival. They must leave their homes and seek safety elsewhere. Many are starving. Our United "Church helps through World Development and Relief. One éxample: they send a manual training teacher to a technical school in Septo, South Africa to teach black youths how to carpenter and build houses. When they have finished thejr course they will be given lumber so they cap build their «own house. Houses are workers in the mines. George M. Robinson (continued) copied from the book 'Voice of the Pioneer' by Bill McNeil. Well 1 knew he (The Prince of Wales) was going away the next day and since I had done considerable Canada." A very fine lunch was one of the great needs of these provided by our hostess Mrs. D. drivitt' for him, I was more worried about not getting paid than anything else. So I made out the bill, went up to the ship, and went to the boat slip which was next to the dockyard. I should have.got a man to take me, but 1 just took the boat and rowed out, and there was a half dozen ships out there, so 1 called out, "Where's the Thrush?" They said, "Oh she's in at the dock coaling." So I rowed into the dock tied the boat up to the rope ladder, and climbed up into the ship. Sometime before that there were a couple of suspicious characters around town, and, the detectives found that they had a lot of explosive explosive stuff in their quarters on Barrington Street so the rumour was that they were going to blow up the Prince's ship. So anyway, when I got aboard I saw a note there that nobody would be allowed on without à pass. But I wanted my money so I walked past and went right on till I found the Prince's quarters. 1 knocked at the door. The secretary came.out. I said, I got a bill here'for the Prince. "Who let you, aboard?" he says. I said, "Nobody let pie aboard. I just came in over the side." Well he sure was surprised! "Came right in over the side of a warship?"
