6, Orono .Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 5, 1982 T yrone request to Article from special c An application by the Tyrone Community Hall Board for outright grants of $30,000 for a new kitchen to the new hall and $5,000 for a creative playground was referred on Monday's General Purpose Committee meeting to a special commit- tee of Mayor Rickard. Counc. Taylor, Town staff and members of the Tyrone Community Centre Board. The new committee is to compile a report over the-re- quest designating the grant or loan, the method of repay- ment, if any, and to consider charges relating to insurance costs a nd oiing of the park- ing lot. Counc. Hamre presented a motion at the meeting that the Tyrone group be grantedl $5,000 from the park reserve fund for the playground and loaned $30,000 for thse kit- chen construction and that this take place only when the Tyrone Board had made repayment of monies owing the Town amounting te, $29,787.77. 0f this amount $21.544.05 is an unfunded amount from a former capital project which does Bt have Municipal Board approval and has a verbal understanding that three years was allowed before ln- terest was to be charged. The account also includes $2,219.78 for insurance on the old Tyrone Hall, $3,712.93 for insurance on the new Town Hall of $2,311.01 for oiling by the Town of the parking lot as thse new hall. In the matter of the oiling ý,ommîttee Orono feature of the parking lot authority for the work being under- taken cannot be found nor was the amount included in the Town's budget. Counc.- Taylor said Hamre's motion was well in- tended but lackîng in some of the finer details. It was his suggestion that the malter be referred to the special com- mittee which did find support from tinte council members and the chairperson, Mrs. Hubbard. Mayor Rickard, althougli he did flot present a motion, suggested that the Town grant the full $35,000 to the Tyrone Board with no pay- back. He also stated he was confident that the Tyrone groue would live up to, the former 'verbal agreement. Counc. Cowman question- ed the charges for back in- surance payments as bcing, accurate. She also pointed out that this matter has to be resolved by council on a' number of halls throughout the Town. She noted that the cost of oiling the parking lot had surprised many on the hall board and the question of the authority for the works had not been cleareli up. Counc. Hamnre said she certainly appreciated the work of the board and said she was wiling to consider any amendments to her mo- tion realizing there were somne loose ends. Tyrone is asking the town to fund some 71.4 percent of the total cost ofe the new kit- chen which has been estimated 10 cost $42,000.00. oft',Fa-mîies" publication "Families", a monthly publication relating to famlily history, genealogy and heraldry, carried an article in its last issue written by Mrs. Helen Schmid of Orono. The article covered somne twenty pages and related to thse Ancient Order of United Workmen, a fraternal organization dating back to 1868, with an Orono Lodge beîng chartered January 2th, 1892. The Orono Lodge had at its peak a membership of some one hundred members and held its charter until some time after 1917. The Schmid article also in- cluded Lodge Assessment Notices from 1885 10 1894 and would be of interest 10 those who may wish to fmnd thse cause of death of ils members or 10 trace lost branches of thse family, pro- viding of course, they had been -a member of the- organization.* George A. Neville, editor of Familles, states the article was a first for the publication and a major accomplishment for all concerned. The Ancient Order of United Workmen had as is mission aid to members in sickness and stress, to unite man to man in bonds of Fraternal Fellowship and 10 pay widows and orphans of its deceased members the sum of one or two thousand dollars. Thse orders principles in- cluded the bellef in the Supremne Being, preservation of thse homestead, education and evaluation of mnankind, equal rights and protection 10 al, mutual co-operation thse basis of all ils buisness transactions and fraternal fellowship. Moose Concessions: the big issue Sao Sesn '4 By W Roge Worth No concessions. That's the battle cry of Canadian union leaders in the auto industry. But by promoting such a policy, the leaders may in fact end up depriving thleir members of badly needed jobs. The problem, of course, is that U.S. members of the same union have provided substantial wage and benefits concessions to the hard- pressed companies. In return, the've been given a form of profit sharing (if the com- panies mnake an.y money), and a modicumr of job security. The comparies will also attempt 10 keep work in American plants. The agreements are a remark- able turn of events. Adversaries that have been fighting each other sînce the Great Depres- sion have corne 10 termns on arrangements that may save one or more of the auto comn- panies from bankruptcy, along with the jobs they provide. lt seemns a sensible deal for both sides. Now consider the Canadian situation. If our union leaders have their way, wages here will be markedly higher than those in the United States, and there will be no job security. It goes without saying the companies could, and probably would, shift somne production to the United States, where workers are more co-operative and labor less expensive., The Caniadian union leaders argue that auto imports from Japan, and not wages and benefits, are causing the pro- blemn. They have pressed Ottawa to force&cutbacks of imports. But the federal governmient has failed miserably. 'While the union leaders' miitant campaign against' concessions 10 the Big Three automakers is perhaps under- standable (who wants to accept less?), they may have trouble maintaining member support. lndeed, the malter is s0 sig- nificant union leaders should consider putting the issue to a vote among rank and file members, including the thousands already on temn- porary or indefinite layoff. CFIB Fealure Servce for 1982 Ontario moose hunters will be subjecît t the same seasons and regulations in 1982 as appliedin 1981 -withavery few exceptions, O)ntario_îNatural Resources Minister Alan Pope annou nced r"eentiy. One of the changes to this year's moose program will be the introduction of "selective harvestîng" in tise Twýeed Dis- trict in Wildlife Managemient Unit (WMU) 61. This, will grant hunters (groups of Nwo or thre who share one animal) the riglit to hunt only bulls of any age and calves born in 1982. Aduelt females will be protected, thus esrn the productivity and quaiýlity of the herd. Controlled hunts wýil on- tinue in WMU23 (Hearst Dis- trict) and WMU 31 (Chapleau District). (Q'csality hunts have resultèd from this program and the reduced. harvest lias brou ght abou~t an increase in h erd sî1zeC -the Hearst District herd iniventory 15 tsp 20 per cent. An open season will be 41àd in Algonquin Region W U 45-50 and 53-60, as is tradi- tional every second year. à' The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education AUDITOR'S REPORT To Thse Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education We have examined the Balance Sheet of Thse Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Eduication as at Decembher 31, 1981 and thse Revenue Fun-d Staterrsent of Operations and the Capital Funid Statemerrt of O0perations for thse year then ended.
