-MainS±roek Ommn ROY C. Fonr'Eso dwr There have been some notable accomplishments in Orono Village * during the pat year mostly stimulated through the efforts of its citizens. Certainly onc would have to list thc achievement of the Orono Arena Finance Commnittce andi the support it rcceived from the com- munity in reaching its commitment a noteable event. Over a quarter of a million dollars, ($270,000) was raiscd to pay off the last remaining indebtncss for thc Aren-Community Centre Complex. It was a great achievement for such a small community, and such a small band of workers. flhc complex is an asset to the community in many ways. It was achieved by a concerteti effort and a never-say-die attitude. Through Uic suppot of council and a unifieti business area the business section of Orono recciveti its first face-lift in years and ap- parently thre is stili more to carne. The formation of the Downtown Business Association was an accomplishmcnt it in itself and did pay off dividentis for the area with tow promotions during Uic ycar, along with Uic beautification program. We do have much to be thankful for in Orono with two active chur- ches, a complete minor sports program supporteti by the Athletic and Skating Club along with other local organizations such as the Hor- ticultural Society andi the service clubs which al contribute ta the com- munity and its citizens. The Orono park andi its facilities continue ta play its part in the affairs of this community and is an envy of most outsiders. Orono docs exemplify, in a number of way, just what a community shoulti be. It is people working for people andi the betterment of the cominunity. The Athletic exemplifies this very well and is carrieti on by other groups. The Art and Craft sale was a fine example of an active community not only kn the promotion of the event but in the realization that the Orono familv is verv active in their own endeavours and do and can Petitioners Seek Reply From Council As To Negotiated Resîgnations 0f Two Ensployees (Continueti front page 1) involvedti t which he (the Mayor) was tolti NO.
