Orono Gentlemens' Card Club A place for some fun, and the odd littie rub, Is truly the Orono Gentleman's Card Club, For a good gamne of Euchre, cribhage or pool, A fine buncb of fellows, I arn the only fool. With John Stone as a part- ner-, V've sure had some fun, Tili Roy Winters or Reg. Bllot, get you under the gunt, Alf Grahamn, Alec Moffat, can sure use their head, And another cailed Grahamn, his naine is Fred. Another who plays, if he's flot Florida "Ramblin", Is a mighty fine guy, named Carlos Tamblyn, That Guy Greenwood from Kendal, I think tbey cali Lawrence, Sometimes he loses, and he raises a torrent. My friend Tom Philpott, though be does flot play, Ia a real fine member and is there every day, Another to watch, he really knows bow ta "Mfix-Um", Is the Ex Oronio Banker, tbey cali him Ray Dickson. Harvey Partner the plumber, though we seldorn see bim, IVve had sorne great games with bis young son Jimi, Bill Hooey is one more you just have to accept, At handiing cribbage pegs, lie is very adept. Cails by John West and Steve, realiy do vary, Once in awhiie you see Robinson, bis naine is Gerry, Fron the garage at the north cornes a Mercers narned Buzz, And you would be surprised at the things that be does. Pretty good at the pool table isyounig Paul Jones, He's aiso pretty fair at "Rat- tlin" the bones, John Slater is a good Presi- dent, that can be bad, And we ail feel regret at the loss of William bis Dad. And a fellow frorn Newcas- tic, is really a dandy, Would you believe another Graham, bis narne is "Sandy,' One more near forgotten, by this a mateur board, Is our locai Cauncillor or Bd- ward Woadyard. Really younig Jirn Moffat, plays exceedingly well, And I near forgot another young EdwardStel, With Bill Armnstrong against YOU you'il near meet you're demise, H e is cunning and sbrewd, and wins many a prize. There are a few more memibers I, have yet ta meet, So of tbern Ill be silent and ever s0 discreet,_ Yet I arn sure when I meet thern, VUi still get the odd rub, For tbere are a few "Jokers", at the Orono Genteman's Card Club.

Laying the welcome mat for Miners Woods, Water and Wlldlife By: Ron Reid - Federation of Ontario Naturalists "A man's home is bis cas- tle," or so he thinks. But if the proposais of a recent Heather Rebekah Lodge News Wbile Most lodges were busy after the suinmer break getting ready for the installa- tion of the new officers.

Orono Weekly Timnes, Wednesday, October 20, 1982, 9 discussion paper on the pro- vincial Minîng Act are carried through, your rural castie may flot be Sa safe. It is this legisiatian that cantrols the activities of one of Canada's largest employers, the rnining industry. Along with some minor tinikering in the Act, the discussion paper recoimends two major reforms. First, al rural Iandowners would be forced to pay an acreage tax on the mninerai rights associated with their proper- ty. If you refuse to pay this annual rate (on land you tbought you already owned), yaur minerai rigbts will bc forfeited to the Province, who can then rent them to anyone cisc. Then the second change cornes into play. If a minîng company has leased your rigbts, they can notify you that tbey are coming on to your land to explore, and to develop a mine if tbey choose. You must be com- pensated for any direct Woods, Water and Wildlife damages, but you will have no right to, stop their ac- tivities, no matter bow much you want to protect your pro- perty. Little wondier that these proposais have been put for- ward so quietly. None of On- tario's major conservation groups were sent a copy of the discussion paper, and few people have even been aware of its existence. Forcing ian- downers ta pay a rent on land rights we now take for granted is not likely to be popular. Even so, this scberne is not put forward as a way to raise revenue, but rather to belp free up private landl for mning development, at the expense of both lidowner rights and the envirorneit. In my view, it's ironic that the landowner groups nwho opposed so vociferously land use controls ta protect farrnland or environinental features have been so sMent on this issue. Their concern about loss of propcrty rights should be ten times greater over these proposae. Ini any case, if you want a copy of the discussion paper to find out wbt's going on, or ta voice your concern, write ta the Honourabie Alan Pope, Minister of Natuçal Resources, Queen's Park, Toronto, M7A MW.
