2. Orono Weekly Times, WednesdaY, lune 16,11982 Second Class Mail Regstration Number 00036 publighed Every Wednesday a the office of Publication Main Street Orono Roy C. Forrester. Editor NEWCASTLE GOOD NEWS It was a different financial presentation to the Town of Newcastle council members on Monday when the 1981 financial statement was reviewed by council, and their auditor. It would certainly appear that control of spen- ding and knowledge of where the municipality stood throughout the year was evident and in many areas of the financial picture there was improvement. Even to the facte that the statement was presented by mid June is an indication that times have improved as- to develop- ment of control on the annual budget., The Town has found itself in a surplus position of some $274,074 which although rather on the high side is -again an improvement over somne of the former years. ,Council membhers were told of improvements in the cash flow position of the Town and that in general the Town was in a healthy position. Newcastle is faced, like many other municipalities, with aspects related to the state of the economy. These are flot major problems but ones that necessitate a tight ship policy. Like other centres residential growth is next to a standstill and in fact family units have reduced somewhat over the past year. On-the other hand com- mercial and industrial assessment has increased as a percentage of the total assessment and for the first time has risen ýabove the 20 percent mark. A better position again for the Town of Newcastle. Council is to be commended in their efforts of restraint and as well Town staff have demonstrated their expertise in their particular departments. EASY TO SUPPORT There should be no difficulty in supporting pro- posed -provincial legislation calling, for mandatory im- mrunization of school children against six diseases in- cluding diptheria, tetanus, polio, mumps, measles and rubella.. Certainly it must be in the interest of the general health of not only the young students but also the com- munity at large. The new legislationis expected to be in force by the time school opens again in September. The incident of measles appears to have increas- ed in the past few yearsin Canada and it has been, reported that such incidents are greater in Canada to that of the United States where immunization is a re- quirement on entering school. lb is surprising the change over the past eight to ten years when in 1974 in Durham Region oniy 66.2 per- cent of new students had been îmmunized for measies, mumps, rubella. By 1979 the percent of immunization of school children had risen to 90 percent and today almost 96 percent dIo receive immunization prior to entering school. What others say.. Dear Roy: 1 read with interest your editorial thîs week on the ttempted "Ifencing in"' of the Town Hall and feel you have accurately echoed the sentiments of Town Hall Boards, past and pre- sent. 1As chaîrman of the existing Board 1 would like to shed some lighli on the situation and the future of the Town Hall itself. First, 1 must emphasize that the Orono Town Hall does not support itself, financially. t is a "White Elephant" whose time has corne. Due to Liquor Board Regulations whîch we cannot meet, the only possible means of generating sufficient revenue is not available to us. Even if it were, it is doubtfui the Village could support three licensed halls anyway. The Town of Newcastle is not in a position to sup- port us, with taxpayers dollars, due to the costs involved and the present over abundance of Halls within the Town now. It is only through an înternai situation within the- Town itseif, that we have had a four-year respite from many of the ongoing expenses, which has now corne to an end. The Town Hall cannot be designated as a "H-erýitage" building as previous boards have found out.

One forecast tells us that the whole month of June wili have above normal rainfali and ýbelow norrn'al temperature. A wonderful spring to s tart yàung trees. On Sunday morning the sermon topic was "The Spirit Leads" and the scripture reading St. John 16:1-15. We were reminded of our ham and salad supper on Wednes- day, June 23.

The Orangemen of the district will parade to Kendal Church on June 27 for a ser- vice at 2 p.m. We are sorry to hear that Mr. Mark Wagar's father's funeral was Sunday after- noon June Ilth at Enterprise north of Napanee. Sympathy is extended to the family., 'Mr. and Mrs. Kenny are now living in their new home formerly owned by the Wybenga family south of the village. On Saturday a motorcycle caravan consisting of thirty- four motorcycies with t wo riders on ail but two motor- cycles travelled down the sixth line. On Wednes day, June 9, Kendai Women's Institute journeyed to the home of Mrs. Diane De Jong east of' Cold Springs. There were eighteen ladies went on a, perfect June day. We arrived at one o'ciock and had dinner out under the maples on the spacious lawns. After dinner a short W.I. meeting - was held. The minutes were read and secretary's report given. At, our penny sale the use of the school cost us $23.34. The ladies will go to the Couroux cottage on July 6th. Penny collection $1.74. AIl ladies were invited to go with the U.C.W. to the zoo and Bowmanviile Museum on July l4th leaving Kendal at one o'clock. We were reminded of t he Fun Fair at Solina, October 12th. At four o'clock the cows were brought from the pasture to the stable. The De Jong's operate a large dairy farm. We went to the stable to see the eighty cows stan- ding in their stails eating their corn ration. They are milked by milking machines and the milk is carried by pipe line to the holding tank. The big -milk -truck cornes every day to carry the milk away. The men on the farm were busy drawing cut up hay to the silo. Mrs. Diane De Jong was orW.i. President one year ago. A lady told me recently that she would like to hear some more stories about Eliza Elliott. Perhaps 1 should begin at the beginning. Her maiden name was Eliza Carscadden. Now Robert Carscadden and Flora Dean sailed from En- niskillen, Ireland in 1833 with six sons, and two. small daughters aboard. John did not come as his wife was ex- pecting a chiid. William decided to go to U.S. It was a sailing ship. They were almost here when storms blew them back. They were twenty-four weeks on the water. Flora Dean the mother died. They wrapped her in the Union Jack and lowered her overboard. It was said that her son Dean who was eight years old felt so bad about Ioosing his mother that his hair turned white in the night. Just imagine drinking water that stale and living on sait pork and sea biscuit. The others survived and came to, Crooked Creek. They blazed the trail to the sixth line and And so, here we stand with a beautiful old building which serves no useful purpose to the Community and is a liability to the Town of Newcastle. Regarding our "fencing" project, as everyone knows,. there was so much criticismi before anyone ever knew what it was going to look like, that a special Board meeting was held in which we voted in favour of scrapping the project and removing the posts (4 to 2 in favour.) 1 personally feel it is a'shame, that, as an ap- pointed Board to manage the affairs of the Hall, we have had to bow to public pressure based on totally "unconstructive" criticism, in view of the situation 1 have descr ibed 1 think it is safe to say that enthusiasm certainly has been damnpened by this latest situation and unless some truly "construêtive" ideas and fun- ding corne from within the community very shortiy, it wiii oniy be a matter of time before our Town Hall fails victim to the times. Having been involved with the recent Oshawa Little Theatre production of "My Fair Lady" I enjoyed your oroiogy of our situation to one of the songs from the show. Without any intent to up-stage you may 1 suggest that the only hope for the future of the Town Hall is "ýWith a Little Bit of Luck." Sincereiy, Alan Mote Chiaîrman Orono Town 'Hall Board. settled about where the tobacco kilns stood. Then they dug for water but were unsuccessful. So they decided to go north to the valley where there were flowing spr- ings. There they built their home. This family of boys with two littie sisters and terfather. In 1837 John and his wife Ann and their oldest daughter Eliza who was then five - ears old with the younger children crossed the ocean and joined the others in the home whîch is now a provincial park. Soon the older brothers left home. Robert married and built east of the Ski Hill. James mar- ried and buîlt his home on the farm we know as the Mc Kelvey place, west of the ski hili. Dean, David, and Joseph, went to Coîl- ingwood. The two girls mar- ried. Mrs. Boles wrote to Mrs. Elizabeth Tamblyn from her home in Portland, Oregon. i read the letter at the time. Mrs. Cooney lived on the place later owned by Bill Wannan the Beacock place. John and his family re- mained on the original homestead which was in- herited by William (BilIy) the youngest. Then it passed to Harper and now is a Provin- cial Park. Continued at some later date. St. Saviours ANGLICAN CHURCH Orono, Ontario Regular Sunday Worshlp, Service - 9:45 a.m. Rev.
