1, Oreno Weekly Times,Wednesday, Mach 31. 1982 Second Class Mail Registration Number OOB6 Publlsbed Every Wednesday et the off:ce«fPubflcatin Man Street, Ormoo Roy C.Forrester, EButor CONFRONTATION NO ANSWER Indefinite layoffs of 1750 autoworkers at the Oshawa GM plant on April l2th along with the loss of an export sale to Iraq of somne 12,000 ZOsbawa-built cars and loss of future ex- port sales bas to be an cconomic blow to this area which will have an adverse impact both social and in cconomics for the area. The cancellation of $100 million export to Iraq for Chev. Malibus on the grounds of a number of defects does nothing for the local auto industry and only puts its furtber in- to the doldrums. It-is further rpoof that major adjustments have to be made and confrontation between labour and the company bas to cease as one measure to improve the industry. It is possible the most important aspect at this time even above high interest rates and foreign competition. Unfortunately most of wbat we read and hear is con- frontation espccially from the Union brass. There is no evidence of co-operation even under the adverse conditions that now exist in the industry and througbout Canada and the rest of the world. Like the provinces and 'Fcd' basbing its labour and company bashing. It solves nothing, neyer has nor neyer will. Neyer do we bear of Union interest in helping to solve absenteeism, increasing productivity or a pride in the finished product. It bas been increased benefits with nothing in return as to quality and quantity. This bas neyer been so evident as today. It exists bowever not only in tbe auto industry but in many other sectors. Political basbing bas risen to sucb a point tbat few today bave any faitb in any government.. Provincial leaders have been tearing apart the federal frabic to enbance tbefr own end and then we wonder bow corne a separatist can- didate,,as such recently in Alberta, runs away witb a by- election. Yes the news media shares some of the blame always looking for tbe spectacular and printing sucb for readersbip. But tben it corne down to the individual. . . be gets what he catis for. The Secondary School teachers do bave concerns, from wbat we read about changes in secondary education. Wbat did tbey debate at their recent conference? Not the proposed cbanges in education but rather officers' salaries and retire-. ment benefits. Tbere is no objection to that discussion but wbere is the concern for the educational systcm and surely the teachers could bave made some impact on what rnay happen tbrough open discussion at open sessions. They last a golden opportunity. The auto industry bas to make a definite move ta be competitive and to provide quality if the Canadian sector of tbe industry is to bounce back. Asking for controlled interest rates and controlled imnports will not in total answer tbe woes of the industry. It mnust first corne from witbin and that is the worker and tbe company agreeing to bring it about. DuI",tch OvenTye "A " champs at Minden Orono 12 Woodlille 0 Saturday, March 27th.

Orono then advanced ta the "A" Cbampionsbip garne against Bracebridgc. *Orono 4 Bracebridge 0 For the third time this season the Onono Tykes ad- vanced ta the finals in a tour- nament. They were well aware of what they bad ta do and started skating rîghit from the opening faccoff, controlling the play in the Bracebridgc end of the ide, firing rnany good shots at the goal.* At the 7:37 mark Orono's David Sbmyr fired in a pass from Grcg Hoopen ta get the scoring startcd.

Then rnild lamb like weatber followcd. Last wcek I told you of our, trip ta Virginia when Easter came in March 1929. While we were away a terrific storm caused great devastation ta the railways and highways. 1 thought of it as an cquinoc- tial storm. Not sa, all week there bad been frequent downpours then on Friday nigbt April 5th. it poured, wasbing away the founda- tions of the road and leaving the rails suspended in the air. A freigbt which was ta take the siding at Bowmanville C.P.R. Station was unable ta do so because of a wasb out in the yard. It was given orders ta burry ta Newcastle and take the switcb there. Because of the deluge Fni- day nigbt the noad bcd was undermined near Gibson's Fruit House an the Clarke- Danington Tawn Line. The fneigbt was dniven' by Engineer John Kennedy of Toronto. It plunged into a chasm and he was killcd. The brakeman jumped ta safety and walked ta Newcastle for hclp. Eighteen horses were on anc of the cars haîf of tbemn were killed or destroycd later and the rest put in a farmer's pasture. Other cars carrîed automobiles that werc wreck- cd. 1 The wncck of the freight prevented the possibility af an even more awful disaster. In the wake of the train followed the Chicago- Montr-eal express. Had the freight waited at Bowman- combined with Scott Williams and John Buttigieg for Orono's finst goal early in the opening period. Scott Williams sconed on a passing play set up be Brent Gates and Shanle Joncs ta make it 2-0. Late in th-, second period Ryan Marsanîs twirlcd around in the slot in front of the Newcastle goal and fircd the puck into the corner of the net. Stepheni Standelrnann and David Payntan-Stewart assisted an the play. Orana sccmed ta relax at this point but Newcastle came alive in the third period with anc goal early in the period followed by a barrage of shots in the final thnec minutes of the gaire. Despite sortie fine goaltending by Scott Hall in the Orono net, Ncwçastle picked up goals with 3:03 and 2:06 rcrnainin.g ta tic the game 3-3. With only 24 seconds ta go in tbe gaine Orono tnied ta bang an but the- determined Newcastle boys scored again ta make the final score Orono 3 and Newcastle 4. mlq&ja ville there is no doubt that the fast express would bave car- ried its passengers to destruc- tion and death. However, tbe fluer came to a standstill within a hundred yards of the wrecked freigbt. It had to remain there tilI Saturday afternoon when its passengers were taken to Trenton by bus. On the C.N.R. trackabout two and a haîf miles west of Bowrnanville FEngineer Robert Milne of Belleville stopped bis train when he came to a deep cut down wbich water had poured. Finally the crew decided it could be travelled witb great care. After coverîng almost the whole course the huge engine and tender toppled over anly a few yards from safety. The passenger cars re- mained on track. On Satur- day afternoon the engineer's body was found crushed beneath the coal. A party of four people returning to their borne in Peterborough front Oshawa on the Provincial Highway sbortly after midnight Friday crossed the Harnxony Bridge east of Oshawa in safety and proceeded on to the eastern bridge. Tbey found it washed away and the road barricad- ed. Tbey decided to return ta, Oshawa and were on their way back. Tbe foundations of tbe west bridge bad in the meantime been washed away by the swollen waters of the creek. Toward this gaping bole the car travellcd to plunge into the swirling waves belaw. Two lives were lost Walter Northop and Miss Helen Wrigbt wbile Mr. Nor- tbop's two sons Harry and Stanley succeeded in making their escape after being car- ried downstreamt by the force o f the current. Tbe autornobile also came to rest several rods down and stood on end ail night with the beadlights glaring tbrough tbe pouring rain.Tbe bridge was a splendid concrete struc- ture built only a few years before now it lay a mass of broken cernent. Work crews were rushed in and temporary bridges built. Late Sunday evening traffic started maving again. Sunday norning March 28th. was a beautiful sprîng like day.
