2-Orono Weekly Times, Wedtiesday. October llth, 1978 Orono W,,eekly Times A TIME TO BE THANKFUL The past week-end is dedicated as Thanksgiving, a time to be thankful for ail those attributes which we enjoy as Canadians. It is a time to stop and realize that we do enjoy a bountiful living in Canada. And above ail its a time to be positive., As we remember of by-gone days when the churches were decorated with stalks of corn, colourful gourds, pumpkins and other fruits of the land and the blessings extolled we cannot but help feel that these are still with us if only we would take the time to stop and look around. In the past few years a negative attitude appe 1ars to have arisen and certainly has been aggravated by the news media in this nation. Lt tends to pit the populous of the country against its leaders both municipal, labour, industry, provincial and federal. Its not news unless its negative, or at least a good majority. We in Canada have a freedom beyond those of most other nations. We have the human resources and the natural, resources to make Canada a great nation. And we can still live in peace with a bountiful table. Yes, we have much to be thankful for . . . . and especially thankful that we were not out in the line of traffic making its way frdii7i the cottage country to the city on Monday evening. IT WILL BE YOURCHOICE Municipal'eleçtion are but a little over four weeks away, November l3th and candidates are~ lining up for your consideration bot1ij~for the, local Board of ducation and the municipal and régional governments. Lt becomes a duty of every voting citizen to look the slate over and then make a choice iný the interest of good government for aIl the residents of the municipality. There will be some changes especially in municipal and regional government as far as the Town of Newcastle inconcerned. A realignment of existing members of council will take place as the mayor's position is being challenged by two members of the present council and the same is happening for Ward 3 for the position of regional council. Further to this there will be a new face on council from Ward 3 for the 'position of municipal council as this seat will be vacated by the present sitting member. Other sauch moves are also taking place in the Bowmanville Ward. In fact the new council for 1979 could be quite different to that sitting today prior to the November 13th vote. The present council holding office for the past two years has brought about a number of worthwhiie accomplishments. The systemn of government has been streamnlined with added new staff and some new policies. They have tackled taxation and there is some hope that corrections will be made in the upcoming year. The approval of the official plan for the Region of Durham has also gîven some clear direction as to the intent for future development. Council has endeavoured to bring about some defining of policy such as for parking and this policy has been long overdue. Yes much has been accomplished but there are still many challenges facing the new councîl over the new two years. There is a need for policy statements from coundil on such as community centre operations, arenas and a handle on development through the municipality. There is also a need for a good relatîonship between aIl members of council and a feeling by each and every councillor that it is the Town of Newcastle they govern. It all in the hands of the voters in the Town who will serve them for the next two years. REV. JOHIN KITCHIEN DI ES Rev.

He also said he could LUNGS BEFORE BIRTH One problem of very smail premature babies is im- mature lungs. Bur new tech- niques can help tiny lungs develop. Even before these' babies are born. UliKe some organs, lungs mhust be able to function at the instant of birth. Or the baby will die. To survive the first breath, the baby's lungs must pro- duce a substance called surfactant which coats the millions of air sacs in the lungs. Surfactant gîves the lungs the, stretching power they need to expand with air. And keeps them from collap- sing when the air is exhaled. Without surfactant, lungs can not function. Tests of the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb can measure how much surfact- ant the fetus' lungs are producing. If these levels are tOO low when premature labour begins, emergency measures must be taken. Research indicates that pregant women who smoke increase their chances of having low weight babies who are born prematurely. The mother's smoking blocks off the oxygen supply to the fetus.
