2, Orono Weekly 1Times, Wednesday, August 25, 1982 Second Cl3aii Ma i Régistrati onNubr006 PbihdEvery W-ednesday ek ilte offi ce ofPblctn Main Street, Ornn Trhe FOWÏmer Grace 0f The Town Hall Has Returned Eileen Stephens Who headed up the recent Oroni-o Town Hall Showcase refers to a comminent in theý gueýst book by Counc. Cowmvian in whichr she wvrote, "the former grace of the Town Hall hias returnied, keep uip the good work" as typical of thle comments bhy those Who had taken timie to Write a few wrs eranythere hias been encouragement to activarte activities for the local Town Hall and s-ugge'stions were provi,,ded by nueospeople visiting the, hall over the three days of last weekend. The Town hall does have grace and character dating back to the late l9th century and has proven through recent successful promotions that through a concerted effort the hall could play an active roll in cultural events, i this community along xith other commciunity activities. 0f course such things do not happen without imagination, general support and a great deal of effort by at least a handful of people. The nucleous hias been. unlfolding as far as the pro- motion of the hall is concerned throughi the craft shows and now the art show. Such promotions can be expanded into other areas possibly such as theatre ants, antiques, musical presentations and others. Eileen Stephiens states that a few people have indicated triat they would be willing to assist with a prograi for- the hall while people from other such boards are willinig to out Line their activîties and their promotion procedures. 0f course more local help could be used to forma a working commnitte, states Mrs. Stephens. It is a shame flot to make full use of thîs building in the Orono community and it does appear that the embro for something to happen could now well exist. Certainily the ap- pearance of the hall has been greatly enhanced this year, sodd- ed lawn and even to the completion of thle controversial white fence. Perhaps now the Town could be encouraged to spend some of the provincial -Make Work" monies in painting the exterior of the building this fail and especially the dlock tower. Event the operation of the old Town dlock could be restored to add further to the grace of the building. Hopefully things could be on the move for the Orono Town Hall. We may also sec another trend develop as to -Iorms of passive recreation now that the Ministry of Education has stoppcd fundîng înterest courses through the schools. Such icourses when now offered wili have to be on a user-pay basis! It may be that courses through the schooi systemn would have higher fee .charges than if such were provided by the private sector using local community facilities. In fact this is already happening. Four hundred attended the Northumberland and Durham Liberai Riding Association barbeque heid at thbe Ransberry's, north of Orono, on Wednesday of Iast week. The event featured not only a fine barbeque beef dinner but aiso music sup- plied by Cindy Lane and her western group aîong xith pony rides and games for the children. Paul Cosgrove, Minister of Housing for the federal government,' pictttred above (right) speaking with Mrs. Mary Rutherford and Senator Andy Thompson was the guest speaker for the even- iîig. Cosgrove outlined the federai government's six and five percent restraint programn affecting federal cmployees and groups and companies having a reda- tionship with the federal governrnent. He said it was im- perative that the govern- ment gain control over in- flation in Canada and he was hopeful that the six and five percent program wouid lhelp to reach this Drivers wvanted (Conitàied from page 1) at the Orono Pair, sponsored by the Durham Central Agricultur.al Society, has a nuimber of excitinig features inciuding not only the demolition derby but also the Queen of the Fair Contest, the Holstein Show, the ap- pearance of the Golden Helmnet motor bike precision teamî of the O.P.P., the Helîdrivers and as weli the Old Tymne Fididler's Contest and other normal features of the F~air.

He pointed out that Canadiani industry had to compete with that in the United States where the -inflation rate was lower. "If wc do not compete we will suifer," he said. Cosgrove stated that the Canadian economny was 70 percent dependent on ex- ports~ and thus Canada had to be competitive in the world markets. In support of the federal restraint program he said a poil showed that 58 percent of Canadians was behind the mnove. He said the governrment is Kendal News If nobody smniled and nobody cared and nobody helped us along; If every fellowv looked out for himnself, and the good things aIl went to the strong; If nîobody cared just a little for you, and nobody thought about me, And we stood aIl alone in the battie of life wvhat a dreary world this woufld be. On Saturday night August 22nd, the temperature dippedi to an ahl time record low of 5.7 degrees celcius for that date. On Sunday afternoon ii rained putting a damper1 on aIl the activities such as the couples club corni roast and the art exhibit at Dikadel Farms.. Sorry we missed thie art exhibit. Sunday afternoon we at- tended the 85 Birthday party of Mr. Harvey Aikens at the home of his daughter Mrs. Margaret Killeen of Bowmaànville. Mrs. O. ChaIlice and Mrs. A. Mun- neke assisted by their daughters helped served the' many guests. Speciai guests were: his sisters Mrs. Gertie Carpenter of Gananoque and Mr. Ethel Belch of Millbrook and Mrs. W. Aikens of Garden Hill. Also a specia guest was Rev. T.H. Smith. Interestîng pictures were taken of Harvey cutting the beautiful birthday cake and of the five generations pre- sent. On Sunday morning Mrs. K. Wood was organrist. Miss Patricia Frank sang as a solo "In the Garden." Mr. Ron Frank told of the work our United Church does in the poverty stricken and crime rîdden areas of the inner cities of Canada. He read the scripture Jonah 1: 1-10. Rev. A. Tizzard in his message entitled, -"God Com- mands- stated: There is a lit- tic bit Jonah in everyone of US. Jonah didn't want to go to Ninevah that wicked city he wanted to do his own thing. Mr. Tizzard said he met a lit- tic lad on the street who said, "I don't go to churcéh but 1 believe in God." Perhaps the majority of peo- pie are like that lad. Jonah asking for support for their program from al Canadians, and said that government could not do it alone. Canadians and the government must be given roomn to rnove he said and to be able to borrow at reasonable rates at the private level. Cosgrove said the liberal party was sensitive, sensible and serious,. "What we had to do at this time is to convince the people that wc are capable of managing and c an be leaders", he said. "It has been,,the liberal tradition to be leaders," stated Cosgrove. Cosgrove again calied upon ail Canadians to support the restraint pro- wanted ail God's blessings; but hie wasn't .happy that others should receive God's blessinigsç. Jonah complained weail do. God loved Jonah but he also ioved the people of Ninevah. God's message comes to everyone. God loves us. Jonahi promised when inside the whale if his life were sav- ed he would take God's message to the people of Ninevah. You and I also have a job to do. Maybe he has to cal us twic. There's a job for us in the bringing in of His Kingdom. We were happy to have Mr. and Mrs. N. Ransberry wvith us from Kirby with their guests Mr. and Mrs. Macken- zie of Bobcaygeon. Mrs. Mary Brown and her son Michael of London were with Miss C. Stewart. Mr. P. Lunn was there from Orono. Mrs. Olive Keane of Orilla is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ken Soper. Mrs. Vilda McTaggart held her "Christmas Celebra- tion" on August lSth. when fifty relatives came to her summer home in the village. This is an annual event. This raln on Sunday was needed. There are some marvellous fields of corn around Kendai. The pastures are green agamn. The story behind the song is interestîng. Immortal songs are so often full of pathos written in tragic cir- cumstances. Consider for in- stance the well beloved Lock Lomond song with its sad refrain: "Ye tak' the high road and l'Il take the low road and l'Il be in Scotland afore ye: for me and my truc love will neyer meet again on the bonnie bonnie banks of Lock Lomond." The Scots had a saying that whcn a native son died his soul returned home by the low road. During the time of the Jacobite rebellion in 1745 the Scottish army had to leave thier wounded in Carlisle where the English threw themn into prison. A dying Highlander behind his prison bars, seeing his true love waiting for him bade her retuïrln omcwtht-Et him ifor her kniew her.- vigIl was in Thý,ough we- think oýf the welIl-known, "'s A Long Way To Tripperary" as a war song, it was actually compos- ed two 'ears before the begin- ning of the first World War as the result of a bet,, and it was written and sung publici- ly aIl in the same day. One of the authors Jack Judge was a music hall singer, and one week when he was appearing at Malbige Theatre, Lancashire, he and a few friends were dîscussing the length of time it took to write a song. The inevitable bet followed. Judge started to work composîng the words which he handed over to his musical friend Harry Williamns, who immedi ately set the verses to music. That night, "Tipperary" was sung at the Theatre. It was 50 well liked it became the marchîng song of a whole nation. St. Savimurs ANGLICAN CHURCH Oronao, otarlo .
