ORONO WEEKLY TIMES,- THURSDAY, FEBRIJARY Ist, 1968 O1"'RONO WEEKLY TIMES (AutbhorJzed1 as Second Class- mail, Post Offîce Depam~ment, ý>'PubLisled every Thursday at theý office a(d publicatie Main Street, Phone 109, urono, Cnarïo Eàtablished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Manager Inequal*ty 0f Opportunity Mr. Wm. McAdams, Planning Director, while ad- dressing the annual meeting of the Orono Chamber of Commerce Monday1 evening, made reference to the fact that there does exist an inequality of opportunity in edu- cation. In lis address he referred to a survey made on education in the Central Ontario Regional Area, which pointed out the fact of inequality. Rightly the speaker feit that this was wrong and that every chld should have the samne opportunity in edu- cation, no matLter wbere he or she lîved in any area or d!istrict. The speaker's comments should carry some con- cern in Clarke Township for lie did refer to the fact that some young children do not have the opportunîty to at- tend kindergarten nor the facilities of opportunity class- es. This is a curreit issue today in Clarke Township where the school board lias, so far, turned down the establishîng of a kindergarten and do not have the facilities of oppor- tunîty classes. Why flot have the samne opportunities in Clarke for our chi1dren that do exist in other areas. Surely these young children are not second-élass citizens and they do deserve every opportunity. The cost of education is certainly a burden' to every- one but it is also a deep responsibility and one which we should accept. The cost of sucli service will, after Jan- uary lst, bc borne throughout the County and the tax- payers in Clarke will be paying for Kindergartens ia Bo(-wmanville, Newcastle and Port Hope while in fCiarke the chidren will bc deprived. of this -service. A reversai of decision by the local School Board coufld enhiïance the educational opportunities in Clarke and bring them tnore in uine with other centres. We wifl bepaying for the service without having it under the pres- entIl'conditions. Company In Disfavour The Company Of Young Canadians has failea on sor- ry times. The premieds of the western provinces bave re- quested that the members of the youthfui social task force quit their domains. In tic House of Commons and in maay sections of tbe press severe criticism continues to be levélIed. The company bas been a disappointment to, Caniadi- ans. It is bard pressed to find a champion today. And, of course, the saddest aspect of ail is that these Young Can- adians have brougbt the wide disfavor upon themselves. The company came into beiag during the excitement of enticipat ion of the Céntenniai Year. The brigit and brave hopes were that Canada as represeanted by its young- erý generation was introduciag a daring new dimension to programs coaducted by the Canadian University Students, Oirganization and the American Peace Corps. Young mca and women wiiling to work ia the iess fortunate areas of Caniadian society, were to bring their eathusiasm and en- ergyto bear beilping the underprivileged to strive for their own betterment. The idea of building self -reliance into achievement was an exciting concept. It stili is. And, it might not be beyond the scope of an organization such as the Company of Young Canadians to attempt its realization. Howevcr a fresh start is re- quired. The grossly inept haadiing of public relations luth b~the bigli priced belp of the organization la Ottawa and the workers la the field bas aiienated too many Canadians for- the present set-up to serve a wortbwhile purpose. Non-conformity certainly bas a place but it cannot hcone the sole guîdlin1g doctrine. If the Company of Young Canadians is to bhave- a chance at ail of success tha1re must be tact, somýe degree of diplomacy, There must be somne show Of respect for, if not agreement with, orth- odxprocedures. Thec cmpany cannot hope to garner the public support its program;j. requires solely througli idi- cule and a juvenile 'shock' treatment. Thc dismai record indicates that extensive changes acýre neded la tic executive suite. It is essential tiat pol- jesadprograms be clearly explained both to the public andc thîe Young Canadiaýns. Recrulitmen,-t must be icss casu- ai.. Yt tieconcep sboud not be scrap1ped for it lias not triy 1h3d a fair trial. -TIc Osbawa.Tîmes lTH.E PLAY'S, THE THING! Play-going is a rare treat in this locality, and so theatre-goers will want to be on hand at the Newcastle Community Hall on February 8, 9, 10 to enjoy the Clarke Players interpretation of "A Man for Ail Seasons." This is the play that was so succesfully adapted for presenta- tiion on the movie screen, win- ning many awards, and a richiy magnificent production it was! No light-weight tid-bit,' but ,a story that gives much food for thougbt as we admire the char- acter of Sir Thomnas More, a man who remnained true to his prin. ciples even when pressured by strong forces. The play will be more mean- ingful to you if you bave bruijhcd up on the hsoia backgrouid, of the period. The Li brary bas the story of Sir Thomas More and liîs famiyiv in Virginia Newell's "His Own GCod Daugliter", and for' further reading, tbis week you wili see lîsted in the new books., Hackett's "The Personal History of Henry the Eigbth." "A Man for Ail Seasoas" is on order but disappointingly, bas not yet been delivered. WHO'S WHO The newest addition to our ref- erence shelves is the Centennial edition of Who's Who la Canada.
