2, Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 9, 1982 Second Ciass Ma il Regstration Nun ber OW368 Publistied Every Wednesday at the office of Pubication Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editr 'VE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR FACE There is an old love btlad entitled "I've become ac- customed to your face"' which recently has returned to mind over the comments of a (now defunct) fence around the Orono Town Hall. Needless to say the appearance of the fence posts did create somewhat of a jar for us in the first instance but as the ballad goes "l've becomne accustomed to its face" and have corne to the point that really there just well may have been some possibilities with the type of fence being con- sidered. Going back a few weeks Sue Sawyer at Hamiltons' In- surance broke forth with a new paintt job on the store front and at first it was somewhat of a shocker but we have now become "accustomed ta its smile" and think Sue made a, good choice. In design of printing the same regularly happens and a new design often takes time "ta grow upon you." 1Certainly one has to appreciate the effort of improve- ment of the grounds at the Town Hall. Its a far-away cry f rom the mess that did exist of long grass, garbage and litter. Anything hadta be an improvement over that which has ex- isted for a number of years. Some have cared and an effort wias being made for the first time in years ta place the Orono Town Hall in a setting worthy of its existance. The critics have been many with com- ments of improperly laid soci which incidently hias survived and the recent effort of a fence brought on another barrage, and in some cases straight ridicule.' We do believe the fence idea could have been salvaged and possibly beeni an asset ta the appearance of the grounds. Certainly a way beyond that which has existed for years. There were also other improvements being considered including sorne shrubs A t thé front and a possible painting of the dlock tower and a sincere effort ta get the dlock working agaîn along with the bell striker. It aIl was'a good package and as the sod was danated and placed free of charge and the fence at no cost ta the Hall Board movement for beautification seemed well in hand. No doubt enthusiasm will have dampened and we could well return ta the mess that existed before which was flot any compliment ta the Village. The building does have character and in fact is part of the streetscape of the downtown area. Its improvement was about ta be an asset. What does the future now hold? Will the critics now take over and produce a better plan and more im- portant get it done over the next couple of weeks?

On Tbursday eveIning Mrs. M. Stevens, Mrs. E. Foster, Mrs. U. Smuk, Mrs. G. Catbcart, and Miss C. Stewart attended the 2tb Birthday party of the United Churcb Women beld in Orono United Cburcb Hall.

They ail began to make excuse saying, "I can flot corne because 1 have bought me a cow, 1 have mar- ried a wife etc. Onle girl said,"she had to babysit." Then the angry Lord sent his servants out to bring in the poor, the mained, the haIt and the biind. This proved to be very interesting and_ in- cluded the Sunday School young people. lt's good to have them taking an active part. The past twenty years were reviewed and former presidents honoured, follow- ed by a social hour. On Friday night we went to Newtonville Hall to the varie- ty program sponsored by the Shilob Church. Here we saw a mock wedding, highland dancing etc. But the main at- traction was the twenty-five ba rbershopper's from Cobourg and Port Hope. They were indeed exceedingly good., On Sunday morning the Kendal Sunday School took charge of the morning ser- vice. A beautiful solo "The Lord's my Shepherd" was sung by Pamn Frank accom- panied by Roif Hellebust at the piano.

DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE It is inconsiderate of dog owners to let their dogs run at large in this Village and especially so on Mondays when garbage is tomn apart and strewn over the road side. Are ownersflot even concerned for the health of their dogs who may rummage out a chicken bone or some other foreign objectthat may do injury to the dog. Its an unfortunate and aggrevating situation that has been going on for years. Lets have more concern for others and for the dog. Merle Cox, Orono. TOWN HALL POSTS NO ASSET 1 would like to protest the construction of the fence at the Orono Town Hall. The Hall is a beautiful building and this work is no asset to the property. Park Street resident WHAT INTEREST IN THE TOWN HALL?' What about those posts around our Town Halfl!! Thank you whoever was responsible. The Hall Board bas been struggling for years to keep the place afloat financially, to interest people in using it, to find out if people even cared. Boards have corne and gone eacb one feeling it was a los- ing battle. They even wondered if the local citizens had become so used'-to the place they didîi't see it anymore. Lo and behold they do see it!! The fence posts have proven that. They hav 'e told us that pe- ople do care about the Town Hall and how it looks. You care how it looks. You care if it re- mains in the community. Do you care if it is used or remains a vacant-sheli? Do you want to be in- volved in volunteer work, fund rai!sing, whatever is necessary to keep it an active, financially solvent facility in our community? If 50 please contact Orono Weekly Times. Waiting to hear fromr you. Signed: A concerned Orono Citizen. om. .. gsa..ma~ jjjjjiýý mmmNý 1
