One of the Fectures of thle Steom Show This magnificent, old George White and Son steam-powered tractor was one of hundreds of exhibits féatured which attracted spectators from al over Ontario to the Steam and Antique Show in Orono. A man from, Belleville, for example, was the winîner of the draw for the 1,000 pound steer. The fine weekend weather no doubt helped make the ,ewent the success it was. If the sun became unbearable there was alwa3çs the eovered grandstand to sit and listen to the country and western 'band cailed Rennaisance or a tour of the arena to brouse through the craft exhibitions and ther displays. And, of course, there was always the b-eer garden. Dismissal a Surprise For EMO Co-ordinator Gondon Wright the Emer- gency Mleasures Organization co-ordinator wlio was dismis-- sed by counties council last weekfeels that lis dismissal resulted fnom '4some person- ality clash" rather than lack of EMO activity during the Brighiton disaster. 1"ýI can't point to anything specific, but I can'tthink of any ther neason", lie said. "I don't believe that it could have been a continuation of littie things - 1 have neyer been requested to do something and haven't done it".' .Mr. Wright who will leave bis desk on September 1 said he had no idea the counties council was going to discuss him during the session last week. It was "the shock of the day" when he received a cal fromthe Port Hope Guide-the follow ing day asking for comment on his dismissai. Mr. Wright said there had been' no animosity towards hlim on the part of Brighton A. Cannon Towel Ensembles- in theRembnc pattern,ar('exciting shea 'red floral print.

"At the council ýmeeting af ter the disaster I asked thema if there was anytbing else 1 could do to help and they said there was, nothing", he said. "I suggested 1 shouid go homfe and stay by(]thetlephone just, in case and they>agreed". Describing the part EMO piayed in the Brighton disas- ter Mr. Wright said lie had been visiting friends a t Little Lake six miles away when the twister struck the town. He had heard about the disaster shortly after miditight and liad visited the scene to see what lie could do. "That Friday night is looked pretty scary - trees were down ahl over the place - but the fact is that no one was injured, trapped or hiable to be înjured", lie said. "That left us with pretty well nothing to do".ý "Our first job is to save lives and, then property second. Once a, twister has gone through the damage' is doue. There's nothing we can do to save it". Mr. Wright said lie could iiot believe he had been dismissed because lie had not arrived at the scene earlier. "No one is expected to work 24 hours a day ail year round", lie said. "EMO people we 're therer doiug the only thing possible at the time. EMO volunteers set up wireless communications and 1 set up generators when 1 arrived". He described the fact that no one was hurt in, the disaster as "Ia miracle". "Why Brighiton didn't burn down. God only knows", lie said. "'Tbere were old homes wvith bro,,ken wires all over the place". SMr. Wright said viewing the situation with hindsight lie would have set up a headquar- ters if lie had been at the scene in time. "There should have been a raliying point under the elect- ed officiais", lie said. Mr. Wright said the EMO was there to act as assistants and advisors to the elected representatives and had no authority to demand that the toWn take any particular course of action. "Eiected officiais must real- ize that tliey were ,elected .to Featured at Steam and Antique Show This stately old Hart Parr tractor attracted-many admiring glances at the Steam and Antique Show held at the Orono, Fairgrounds last weekend. This machine,, like most of the other old engines, was in working order, and joined in the parade around the track at the fairgrounds Sunday afternoon, August 5th. Apparently, many people assumed the parade would run through the village of Orono and, at 3:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon, several clusters of people weère waiting on the main street for 'a parade that neyer came. look after the people, during good times andbad times", he said. Every councillor and fire cheëf had a copy 'of the Emergency Service telephone directory which' listed the names of ail EMO personnel. Mr. Wright said during his il years as EMO coordinator the EMO had been given the, opportunity to do more ini the united counties than in any other county. "I agree we could have done more during the flooding in April and May", lie said. "We did an awful lot of running around looking, but the pow- ers that be said it was an act of God and that was It.
