A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor anid Manager JAn Excdting, World Public interest in medicine is now reaching a new peak as readers follow the daily happenings in the dramatic field, of heart transplants., Althougli this work has been in the development stage for a good number of years it is only ,recently that, it has hit the public press and that the human being has become involved. Medical men have long been intrigued by the pos- sibility of replacing the defective parts of the human body. Long years of research and experiments on animais has given confidence that replacement, can be -accomplished. In 1950 replacement- of, kidneys was started and today many owe their lives to this accomplishment'in the field of medicine. 1967 will no doubt be the year of the heart transplant and as new techniques and further information is available this accomplishment will become, in effect, common-day practice. The recent developments in medicine are exciting and it gives an insight into the accomplishments of the inquisitive mind and man's concern. Such developments are a credit to mankind and ýcertainly display an awareness of his purpose on this earth. 1There has been criticism to the extensive publicity that has been given the recent transplants in that it may ,ive false hope to millions of persons. But this should be offset by the knowledge gained by the- general public. They become aware of the great changes that are made in the world today. This is not 'only true in the field of medicine but in every other facet of life. We are la an era of rapid communication which is every growing and in which there is no turning back. Man is certainly not content to lay down and rest on his past achievements. Knowledge, like a snowball, as long as it keeps moving, increases with greater and.greater benefits to all mankind.

WIIAT OýTIIRS SAY- SÉT'IN SRIKE DEADLINE AýDMISSI'tý_)O F FAILURE That the setting of a strike deadline continues,,,to maefrn page headlines is a tragie indictment of the arcia ieptitude of labor-management relations today. For toolon-,g' such announcements have beenawied with the anxious anticipation afforded the finals of a champion- shi sorts event. In realîty they signify dismal defeat, an rUter failure to keep pace with the times. Thec muscle-flexing, and posturingof union leaders ia their selection of a plant strike is as dated as the rerun oif thie old B movie "Target for Tonight."ý Next we'll be reading about them sumimoning their members to "hit the bricks" endeavoring to fire enthusiasm with phrases and tacticsbenig to another ea They must leave the responsible union members of today chagrined and em- barrassed. Reliance on the strike )as the ultimate weapon in union negotiations labels the heirarchy of the labor move- ment as laggards. It shows a faîlure to mature in outlook to master the modern methods of conducting their affairs in society today. Reference was made here recently to the suggestion by Steelworkers Chief I. W. Abel that strikes are outmoded la modemn society. Surely the decision bjy the United Autoworkers executive to "hit" Chrysier pl1ants in mid-January underlines the urgency of his appeal. After weeks of discussion in which considerable ground has been given by management, the Autoworkers executive must stili resort o the big stick of old with al the hardships and privations it represents. If the inability of the union negotiators to reach a- greement concerns a company request for parity of work Dear Editor: I wouIld likze to write this'letter >in support of your editorial of last week. What is wrong with our School Board? We are not to have a kinder- garten la Orono, Ia many areas, not any more important nor any more prosperous than ours, form- ai education is considered acces- sary and is now being provided not only for five year olkl child- ren buit for those of tour years of age. We arent to have - a new lib- rary in our sehool. Leisure hour habits of our peopleare most im- portant. One habit, that is formed very early in life is that of read- ing. The reading of good books is almost a lost habit and one that mostcertainly should be revived, as educators emphasize. We have here, in Orono, the Mnost concentrated area of popu- lation la Clarke Township. Plen- ty of land is owned, on which to build, and develop as an athietie field if necessary. Apparently Plans for the new buildings, were quite advanced and our inspector, had voiced his. approval. We need to start a new school building now. We do not want grades sev- en and eight to be bussed to an- other sehool. We have, 1I believe, an excellent sehool nrincipal and teaching staff. 1 arn sure mnany of them would: not be teaching la an ob- solete school building if they were not residents of this com- munity. What encouragement are they being gýiven to remain here? Scores of people give freely of their time and talents to provide facilities and leadershlip in Orono, for the whole township. Hockey, figuire-skating, ýwater safety pro- gram, junior band, guides, brown- ies, cubs and many other pro- grams are Providing good after school training. Excellent fçlte and more than fifty peo"ple are involved each Sunday and ia mid-week groups at, our church trying to help with guiding childreni and young peopie's lives. Many People are putting much Lime and effort into education for the after schooi hours. This has always been so in Orono and if you think for a few minutes of the many ,fine young wPeople who are nui, tak.ing leadership and holding good poit n aother parts of the co-ýuntry, you wilI feel proud. .People, who w.ork and plan be- cause they love children- will keep right on trying to improve and add to what bas already been started lai Orono, but it is tre- mendouslY important that our school, here, advance with the times too. Pleaseconsider again. Velma Armstrong. HisOrono -Snow Shovels and Snowmobiles were most popular pieces of equipment on Monday when Or- ono, like many other centres, dug themselves out of snow banks and drifts. The area was a fairy- land picture with ice-coated trees wires, fences and completely blanketed with a fresb faîl of snow. The greatest damage ia the ar- vision aerials and scores of such damaged aerials can be noted laying over the roofs of, many, homes ia Orono. Some sections of the- Villagre RR North, Orono, Ont., Dear Mr. Editor: On Monday, Jaauary 8th, I was present at the Sehool Board meet- ing la Newtonville. It is my be- lief that the people ia Orono and area should be told why kinder- garten, an accepted fact and an integral part of li fe and educa- tion ia the majority 'of. commun- ities, some with fewer childmen to consider, 'was turned down. Mention was made of priorities, government eut back, holding the tax lime, general purpose rooms, libraries, more 'class roins, teach- er and transportation problems. Mr. Moffatt and Mr. Gibson, pria- cipals of the Orono and Kirhy schools were present te express their favorable feelings toward kindergarten. Mr. MacLeod, the representative fromn the Board of Education, whose job it is to be fam iliar with every phase and problem regarding education, strongly recommended kinder- gartea for this area. However, the people opposed to kindergarten voted it down before these is- sue s were investigated. They were discussed la passing. It is no longer necessary or possible to coasider this area rural. The children raised here are fmom ail types of environ- ments and it is necessary* for them to have the background and education to compete with those raised in progressive commuait. les like Newcastle, Bowmanville and Oshawa. The govemnment has a very generous grant systemi for educational expenditures. Kinder- garten is mot a play time or a baby sitting service, amy more than higher education means reading and writing. The one room school house, supported soiely by parents is long gone.. We la the Orono area camnot afford, for ouir children, and yes, eIvený our grandJchiidrens benefit, to lag behind. We cannot com- pare thie present day situation to the system twxenty years past. We cannot be sentimental, or worse, narrow minded. It is time to face realities. ' The parents and grand. parents of this area -should make their ambitions 'for their familles known, loud and clear. School Board meetings are open, - be there. Taik, write or vîsit witb your representatives. Prep-are to take'one giant step forward! Mrs. Susan Sawyer. LETTER TO THE EDITOR 4940 South Jamaica Way, Tucson, Arizona 85706, 8 January, 1968.
