ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7th, 1970 O ls 1NWEailTME Edo P.i~bl$1he nuy ThPhone 9 êi R.

Hisý proposed remedial action won't please ail; but i' timely, clearcut and- makes sense. OAPADS, ,under its- present forrnat i far too c mbcrsome -- with 130 committee positions a~ne-- to be a. truly effecfive decisioo,-making body. There are far too manycooks in ts kitchen. Mr. Sims' plat of attjck, basiâall1y, would be -two-foid, as foilows: -Streamiine the programn wifil major organizationïal' and qcbeduiling changes (the executive would be stripped of ail "non- municipal" mnembers, as far as possible); -ýPrcent OAPADS' recommendation to Queen's, Park by JI nso the region can make its debut by next Decewber. Election of counicils would be in January, 1972. The latter wouild thkè 'over twro months later and spend eight months organizng. Councils would assume full operational responsibulities January 1, 1973. The executive wouid suspend "developmnent" planning and. concentrate on 'the political aspects of regionalism. There are some high hurdies - b clear, 'but this far the executive bas approved the proposais in principie, and asked. the sub-committee tô give il further study. At least one monîli wil b. needed by the sub-committee. Also, thse executive committee stili awaits two parts of Consultant Don Paterson's regional governdient report (expected any day now). Mr. Sims' proposed blueprint shouldnmake il easier, for ail concerned bo prevent OAPADS from floundering. Decisive action Must folow. After so miuch talk, some action m1ustý corne. Co.,operatiou Needed The Durhams Central Agricutural building at the end of Park Street, in Orono, bas rocketed into popularity of late and at the present time two groups seek its rental to promote their particular activities. Both the Orono iAthîcitie and Orono Youth Theatre have applied for summier rentail, Th2ee is no doulit thaât the Atbletý'ic bas, over the years and cuýrtainly within the iast ten or tev years, added to the building thousands of dollars worth of repairs along with an equal aon of free labour in making these repairs. Hardly would il have been feasible for the f air board to make these repairs for their own use. They bave, of course, added greatly to the weii-being of the annuai fair. There appears no reason at the present time why, through c o-operationf, the two groups cannot live in harmony and stawe their intenlded programs making a fuler use of the building. It, is rather novel to havesuch a building in a community whiçh can serve not oniy as a rink, but ,aso as an exhibit building and for furtber sport and theatre. The fullest use of the builing wouid seem most logical. The two groups can, if they wish, co-operate 10 extend lh. use of the building with a wide program of interest for al sec- tors of tbe community whether it be sport or theatre.
