w-rtt, J - - ..ww.---~--,~a------.~-- ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY lGth, 1962 *-cýONO WXEINgmEr :i CANADA STILL COUNTS ITSELF OUT We have always feit that Canada in opting out their hockey entry in the Winter' Olympics was displaying a spoil-sport attitude. As long as we were winning and bring- ing home the gold we did not, complain even though we were playing against those saine Russians under the same conditions. The Russian team improved as did others to the point where Ci'nada could not take ail the glory nor bring home the gold. At this Urne, we rugged Canadians began to cry in our own milk and withdraw from the contest un- tii such time as we could play under other terms. 1Canada may have found a legitimate basis for their complaint in that the Russian players were professionals. This however can be disputed and we would say the Russian effort has been, greater than ail other participating countries. Canada would play in the hockey tQurnaments if they could use professibuals fromn the NHL teams and the Western and Maritime leagues. This, Canada feels would put them back on the top of the heap . . . where apearently they want to be. It appeaV-s that Canada wants to take the atmos- phere of adventure out of the contest. It is interesting to note that a young and short-lived U.S.A. team came home with a silver medal this year. They did not give up and throw in the towel. They are still ad- venturesome and willing to fight on. The Russians have made overtures to play either the Toronto Leafs or Montreal Canadiens but it would appear, froin a report in the Toronto Star, that Canada will hold this as a lever over the Russians until the Winter Olym- pics is open.ed up to the use of Canadian professionals. But let's not forget that Canada bas only three teams in'the NHL and if the Russians want a test for their teain they could beter choose the Boston Bruins, New York or Chicago. Hockey may be the national sport of Canada 1)ut die- cisions to withdraw from woorld comp5etition, win or lose, is not in the best interest of a sportsminded nation. There is no doubt we could find cause to withdraw from the ski competitions or skating competitions. We don't... we con- tinue to tfy for the top hionour amongst. the best in the world. TOO MANV COORS? Northumberland and Durham Board of Education bas given its support to a resolution, orîginating wi4th the Kent -County Board, to have the Planning Act changed to) alow school board representation on Planning Boards,~ Members of the local boardexDressed the view that it would indeed be advantageous to have representation, active or advisory, on the various planniing boards-within their jurisdiction. They feel this would keep them in touch with the future needs of the area and allow them. to- keep their five-year forecasts abreast of current planning de- cisions. Perhaps this is true, but while we.,would admit that there may be occasions when n consultntiion between the board and planning boards would be useful, we feel there ,s no need for the educators to become as intimately in- volved with the planners a s the resolution envisages. Ahl the 'or of education erally requires is notifi- cation of any decishons whch would create a shift in popu-, lation growth or cause an unexpected increase in thenum- ber of chjîdreni of andapproaching sehool age. Recent experience in our own area makes us serious- ly douibt that the board could inake a constructive con- tribution at the planning level. Firstly we have seen the proposedi closure of three rural schools in the northern part of Iamiltoni Township., Protests from parents have made the board consider re-_ taining- one of the schools, but the point, fromi the plan- niers' angýle, is that this area of the township is scheduled for expansion. The educators have been told that population ex- pansion is anticipated in the area, yet they adamnantly mnaintain they are going ,to close down two schools, Secondlly, the education board has proposed a site for a new sehool just north of H-ighway 2, betwýýeen the Golden Plough and Highway 401. Now from a',planner's point of view the choice of fthis site seems rather odd. To begin with it' is a low population centre for which no great growth is proposed. We assume the plan is to bus the students. However, the sFtrangest part, to our mids is the incompatibility of the site. If the new school is built on. that site it will have the noise of the 401 to the north and the natural noise caused by students will hardly be a happy sound to the residents of the Golden Phough who at presenit enjoy their quiet location. We fully appreciate the fact that the education board must be informied as, to planning decisions which Wil11 alter schlooling, needs, but we fcel they would be better to con- ccern themnselves with running the schools rather than be- 75Attend TxtinMeeting 4-H Club News On February 14th the "Sleepy Seven" held their third meeting at the Orono United Church. We were asked to thiink -on "What inakes gocA, sIý-~ r for Our demonstration an Achie- vement Day. The leaders discussed how to do 'stay stitching', %asting' and 'gathering', We also discussed the differ- ent types of darts, the french seam, also the lapped, seam and which kind would be best for sleepwear. Press Sec., Sharon Lowéry The Orono. United, Chuzrch Dis- cussion Group met for its second session on Monday evening w.-th forty-five persons in attendaxnce. Areas of inter-relationships were discussed wýiith opinions be- ing shared mnainly where there is mrisutnder,,tanding, hurts, nagging and withdrawal. These applied to many areas of life but were. mainly discussed in rela-' tionship to parents and their children and in the relationshîp between husband and wife. These meetings aire open to al ages. Those present were from the Teens On up past the middle years. The 'Clarke 'Citizen's Comniittpe and Ratepayer's Association met with great success a weelç ago Tuesday at the Kirby Centennial ScJlr-yot when they held an inform- ative meeting concerning newly passed tax laws governing estate and personal property. T1ie audience of around seventy five were addressed by 'Mr. MacDonald, F.C.A. and Mr. Tom- lin, C.A. who outlined the sub- jects of Valuation Day and the Capital Gains tax. as they affect land holdings. Mr. MacDonald explained the new Tax Reform Bill stating that it held some features of'the Car- ter Report. He said it would be at least two years before the cf- fect of the bill will really be known. The new bill does extend the' scope of taxation to areas which pzÊeviously were not taxed and these would include Unexploy- ment Insurance and other social fenefits. These were also ex- emption of ex,,,enditures fromn the tax list a9nd this would' include the cost of child care for work- ing parents. 1%-c. Toini on speaking of the new CapiJtal Gains Tax said th tt ada it was not so in other coun- ada lit was not so in other coun- tries. Both speaikers expressed the fact. that it would take consider- able time to studfy the new leg- isiation before it is properly un- deistood. In setting the value of property for the Valuation Day figure it was, suggested that professional help should be obtainecb if the owner had any doubts. The sale of similar or adjacent properties would certainly be a guide to es- tablishing theý proper valuation. The value of porperty côuld well be ani advantage to the ow- ner if the valuation was put as high as possible, it was stated. Mr. R. D. Morton chaired the meeting.
