The tables were laden with ail kinds of salads, cold meats, rolîs and the crowning giory of tasty strawberry shortcake. Rev. Wayne Wright gave the grace before- dinner and the president wvelcomied the selI-out crowd. The Program following the dinner con- sisted of Mrs. Hilda Tamblyn very capably narrating her very own composition of poetry entitled "Life In Orono Bygone Years" and -Orono Horticulture Pro- gresses", this was done with the added pleasure of col- oured slides, shown by David Harrison. Many old and familiar scenes and faces of past presidents of hor- ticulture, were greatly en- joyed by ail present. Adding to this presenta- tion, Mrý. Stella Carson rendered 2 lovely solos, "Such a little way together", and the always popular "Edelwiss", accompanied on piano by Mrs. Doris Prust. Along with the beautiful slîdes of trees, Mrs. Prust played the old famîliar theme "Trees," and also "A Perfect Day." There were several lucky draWs through the evening and somne of the winners were: Gordon Watson, Aima Watson, Catherine Lowery, Kirby; Rev.

After having this tree in their possession for 25 years, it finaily produced a beautiful arrangement of ex- cellent blooms. The shape of tulips, but of a pretty pale green colour, and very large centres. The bed at the library has been planted by the hor- ticulture, with red geraniums. Our town horticulture beds are being iooked after this summer by 2 students, Jessica' and Arnold Mostent. The grass is being iooked after by Nancy Bridger and we are pleased to promote the idea that ail employers should give thought to hiring the young people in our area, they need a heiping hand!

Chailice (Press Reporter) Orono Horticulture of fuelwood Two new publications deal- ,ing with fuelwood were recently released at the Woodfire '82 conference. The publications were prepared by the-Ministries of Natural Resources and Energy to tell Ontario residents about the fuelwood manketplace and woodlot management aimed at the ef- ficient marketing of quality products. The publications Fuelwood Consumption in Ontario and the Woodburners Manual - managing the Woodlot for Profit are available from the Ministry o f Natural Resources Public Service Centre, Whitney Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, On- tario, M7A MW. Woods, Water and Wildlife Ry: Ron Reid, Federation of Ontario Naturalists Across northern Ontario, our stock of wild rivers is diminîshing. Hydro damis have tamned the falîs and rapids of mnany, and the wastes of the pulp and paper and mnining industries have fouled many mnore. If we are to save the opportunity for generations beyond Our own to know the special feeling of a river trip, we miust set aside a few of the best that nemain. We do have the chance to do that, through the Strategic Land Use Planning process that is now evolving. But in at least two cases, the Ministry of Natunal Resources' resolve seems about as firm as jelly on a wall. The first is the mighty Mlissinaibi, which stretches from its headwaters eastof Wawa to James Bay. The Missinaibi is without ques- tion the best of northeasterný Ontario's rivers, and the only one left that can be protected in its entirety. It has been a park reserve for several years, but. now the Ministry pro- poses to establish only the up- per haif as a park, and to delay any decision on the ne- miainder. The other case involves the Spanish, rock-rimmfed river that winds its way through. the pine country westi of Sud- bury. The remaining wild stretch of the Spanish was a candidate for a waterway park a year ago, but now has been dropped front the pro- posed list. The reason is dlean - Inco wants to build two power dams on the Spanish to produce electricity for its, Sudbury Milîs. But why should we allow Inco to ruin another fine river when On- tario Hydro is suffering the emlbarrassment of a whopp- ing 40 per cent surplus in generating capacity, and looking for new markets to use thîs excess? Both these rivers could be opportunities lost, unless far- sighted Ontarians corne to their defence. The Honourable Alan Pope has said th ai he will base bis deci- sions on future parks largely on the public response he receives. If You agree that both the Spanish and the Missinaibi should be preserv- ed in their naturai state, please Write to Mn. Pope, Minister of Naturai Resources, Queen',s Park, Toronto, M7A 1W3. Port Hope may vote on ment SThe Town of Port Hlope counicil has passed a resolu- tion that the staff draft a by- law to allow the calling of a referendum on the question of general disarmameaf.

HENJVI RiY'S Combjned Technical Services Basketry and and Crafis Also Repairs Tro Ail Wicker Orono, Ontario Phon e 983-9239 ln case you hadn't noticed, June the l6th w/as Blooms- day, named for the leading character in James best-knowvn novel, "ULLYSES". To honor Joyce and his wvork in par- ticular the day in which the events in "Ullyses" were sup- posed to have taken place, A. Dublin June the l6th, long ago, Joyce enthusiasts staged the longest unbroken radio program in living memory. Talented actors were engag- ed in reading "Ullyses", cover to cover, in a marathon 30 hour broadcast. lronically only the Irish who ive near Dublin were able to hear it in eire, but tl was also carried unabridged in Europe and this country. Its odd, in a way, that this event should have coincided with my son's graduation from university, and l'Il tell you why. Nearly three decades ago, 1 used Joyce as an excuse to leave university, in my fourth year, just before my final exams: It was onily an excuse, of course. 1 won't bore you with the circumstance, but because of complex university regulations 1 got saddled with a first year biology in my senior year, and al 1 remembered about it then was only a touch more than 1 remember now. 1 knew how to disect a foetal pig, and the rest of it was beyond me. 1 was go- ng to fail biology and a couple of other courses as wvell. So 1 struck a grand pose. 1 was too immersed in James Joyce, 1 said, to take time t1o write my finals. 1 was too much of a scholar to bother wvith exams. Grandiose im- maturity of the worst kind, and how my father refrained from shooting me on the spot l'Il neyer understand. 1 sup- pose most parents hope that their sons and daughters wvon't make the same mistakes they made, but they do sometimes. They faîl into the same traps. My son didn't. It was a tough final year, but he stuck it out, wrote his exams and passed]. He didn't graduate summa cum laude in the university's viaew, but he certainly did in mine. T hat's not news, but that too is reality. i - --- - ---- ...... . ........ . . -1
