2, Orono Weekly Times, Wed esday, February 24, 1982 Orolio 'Miat'p Tmte Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 Pubflshed Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Sreet, Orono Roy C.Forrr 0cr Editor And enjoying wintex too We could but help being impressed by a visit from Mary Morris Tuesdey morning who recently ceiebrated'her 9lst birthday She was certainly excited and thrilied witb her receptio: on Sunday whicb came as a great surprise to her. And commenting on the weather she thought it had been a great winter especially with the abundance of snow that has fallen in Orono. Congratulations Mrs. Morris and your visit made our morning. The unknown prove exciting There is little doubt that Sheila Copps, 29, Liberal M. P. P. from the Hamilton -area and 50. year oki rebel candidate, Richard ýThomas from Parry * Sound, added some sparkç to the Ontario Liberal leader convention held in Toronto over the week-end. No doubt the two, finishing second and thIrd in the five- person race, were cause of some concern for the establishment and liberal caucus, especialiy Copps who * netted over 700 votes to the winning 1100., Copps, a young 29 year old woman, took the spotiight with bier vigor and enthusiasmn but in the end the convention sought a leader wbo is reported to have organizational skills, political experience and support of the caucus and establishment. Perhaps there is a story in the convention when one çonsiders the reported surveys which refer to distain for political leaders and politicians in general. A lot of the distain, we do believe is unfounded, but it does exist. We expect too much from governments, and' their leaders. Certainiy they have a job to do but they cannot reach out and snarc utopia. This is truc in ahL evels of government. From ail reports we read it would seem that the liberal establishment was fearful of the inexperience of Copps and the outspokenedness of Thomas but in general this was rcfreshing to those that cast ballots. What we need in this' country today is someone who adds a bit of spice and spark to life and certainLy C'opps would do this. A few mistakes along the road would be no more than happens today in any form of govcrnment. It is quite evident that no one bas a pat answer to take us out of the doldrums unless you refer to some of tbe statements of Thomas during the leader- ship camnpaign. Peterson, the new liberal leader will fit in welI witb Davis with the bland stumbling over the bland. WelI Sheila we would have put our chips in your corner and bad alI the faith in the world with your youthful exuberance.

It was pointed out that since leaving school many have gained cer- tain skilis in the work-world which would be equal to the credits granted. There is no charge for the mature sgudents when drop- ping back into school 'or tak- ing the correspondence course rnonitored- by the schooi. Following the meeting the principal pointed out that enrolment was decreasing al across the province and it was no exception at Clarke. In the next four to five years enrol- ment is expected to drop to 400 students and this could result in consideration of continuing to operate the school. Taylor also points out that the unernploymnent situation is such that may will be con- sidering retraining and upgrading their educational qualificiation. He hopes that Clarke could assist in the pro- gram. He states that the serncster systcmn does create a lot of flexibilit>' for both the reguiar student and the mature student. In speaking of the semester systemn starting at Clarke last September he said it has been well reccived and was work- ing well. He said competition amongst the students was fierce and marks had împrov- cd considerabl>'.

Although theiy educationai neecds are equai, their opportunities are not. This is particularly truc where reference materials arc concerned. Blind children and adulf s have a necd to look things up in a gencral en- cyclopedia. There arc excellent textbooks in Braille. Even a leading encyclopedia, Word Book, is availabie in Braille. But for many, the Braille Ency- clopedia is unwieldy and dif- ficuit fo use. How exciting to tell you that a breakthrough in edùcation for the blind has brillianti>' lighted, their world. The devel- opment of tape recording tech- nology lias made it possible f0 produce a complete encyclope- dia that sightless students can use for specific reference needs without an>' assistance. Called the Talking WorldBook, f fills a long-standing need. Dr. William H. Nault is Editonial Director, The World Book Encyclopedia.

Kendal village looked like fairy land with snow on every tree and roof top. The special speaker for the service was Rev. Andrew Brndfar. He saîd his name was of Czecho-Slovakian origin. He was an excellent speaker and is on the staff of the Bible Society as Secretary. His scripture reading was St. Mark 4: 13-20. In verse 14 according to the revised version "The sower sows God's message." He said there was such a great demand for the word of God that even through each year they produce more Bibles than the year before the de- mand exceeds the supply. He showed us one of the books of the Bible in braile. They also have Bible Chapters on cassettes for those blind folk who can not read braîle. The Post Office aliows at material for the blind to be sent free. AIL new Canadian Citizens are given free Good News Bibles. Alil new Military Recruits are given a copy of the New Testament and the Psalms. Cadets are given a copy of the Gospel of St. John. The native people oýf Canada are given bibles in the language they speak. The Cree Bible hie had with him was miost interesting. It used the Cree symbols. He had delivered four hundred Bibles to the Milbrook Prison. He told us of one prisoner there who was t wenty-four. He had already spent twelve years of his life in reform institutions. He told us his story. First, he, father deserted his famîly three years later his mother died. These two tragedies left him bitter but now he has becomie a Christian through reading a BiDie in prison anu is studying for the ministry. God in heaven is honour bound to bless his word. He said, t shail not return to me voici. The Kendal Women's In- stitute met at the homne of the President, Mrs. B. Holland, on a perfect spring like after- noon with thirteen members present.
