The Rombough's at JR's are providing a service that bas been lacking in Orono from the days of Chas. Froste and bis Five to Dime Store wbicb at tbat time took up the present location of Becker's, Hare Witb. Flanc and the AppleBlossom Sbop. JR's Country Store should fîlI the void that bas existed and be a welcome service to the shopping community. The long-established Partner business in Orono has certainly advanced with their new showroom up a few doors fromn thein former location wbich establishes a new image. One bas to feel good about the adivancement in the commercial aspect of the Village wbicb certainly is takeing another step forward this week Let us extend congratulations to these enter- preneurs and wisb tbem weil in the Orono business coin- munity. A Careing Community Over the past year and a haf a new service in the community bas developed tbrougb the formation of the Community Service Orders Board and tbrougb the pro- motion of their program. The Newcastle Boa rd of volunteers witb only two exceptions of part-time cmployees, work in concert witb the Oshawa Parole Office placing those in a work pro- ject whcn so dirccted by the courts tbrough a Communi- ty Service Order. Tbe Newcastle Board, in a short time, has gaîned the support of the community wbcrc- individuals and groups volunteer to take a client front the courts pro- viding a community work program and opportunity. This support is rather amazing considering the lengtb of time the Board bas operated in Newcastle. The program itself does have menit and docs pro- vide the client witb a different outlook on the communi- ty. The penalty, if you wisb to cail it that, builds rather than destroys. Ilt is mucb supenior to many of our past solution, or wbt we tbougbt would be solutions. This community bas shown once again that il is a careing commnunity from wbicb we ail benefit. We're for Chretien John Chretien running for the federal liberal leadership bas our vote. 0f course we-don't bave one but then we do bave an opinion.A_ We lost out in the Tory leadersbip bid tobave ~john Crosbie eiected but werc somcwbat satisfied that lie bad run a good race and did make bis mark in the over-alI spectacle that unravclled in Ottawa last year. Wc* suspect that John Chretien may corne somewbat cdoser and would flot be at ail disappointed if bie reached tbe top -of the beap. Surely bie bas sbown bis leadership qualities in Ottawa tbrougb the Constitution debate, the Quebec referendum and now as Encrgy minister and from wbere we stand be does voice a great love for bis country. For what it is wortb our vote goes to John (Chre- tien tbat is).

The Tin-Lincd Trunk by Mary Hamilton (continueli from last wcek) It was the end of October and late afternoon shadows werc darkening into dusk. The ride to the Sommets' faim took more than an bout but at last the buggy tu rned in through a gate and drove up a narrow, lane towards a white frame bouse. The front doors Fragrances for Sprin Ch imere Aviance Wind Song Cachet Senchal Jean Nate Enjoli opcned and a tail thin man stepped oui, holding a lantern in front of him. It was Mr. Sommers. "Are you stopping over Albert?" he called. "Can't," Mr. Whip- pley replied briskly. "Lots of work to do stili. Got the cows to see to. Snow's coming. 1 can smell it." Mr. Sommets didn't ask again. He helped his wife down from the buggy and Polly jumped, down aftcr. She waved goodbye to Jack and followed Mr. and Mrs. Sommets into a large warm kitchen. A, long table with four chairs, painted dark green, stood in the centre of the room. Shelves lined on1e wall and a cupboard dccorated with plates and pithers stood opposite. A tal dock tickcd loudly in one corner. -V'Il heat the soup," Mrs. Sommets said as she movped a heavy black pot to the front of the stove. "The girl's naine is Polly." Mr. Sommets dîdn't say anything, he only noddcd to ber. Polly could tell though that he was judging ber. She stood, up straight, hoping it would make her, look bigger. "Sit down," Mrs. Som- mets said ladling the hot soup into bowls and cutting tbick slices of bread. After- Mr. Sommets had muttered a short grace, flot another word was said. Only the ticking dlock broke the silence. Tbe thick soup was good and soon Polly, became drowsy. Just as her eyes were closing, Mr. Sommets said," Since you're here you might as well give me a hand. I have to give the cows their water and I need someone to work the pump." Polly woke up with a start and realized that be was talking to ber. He led the way out to the barnyard, got the pump startcd and told ber to keep it going whilc he opened the gate for the cows. Polly grip- ped the cold bandie and began to push it up and down witb al ber might. Suddcnly huge black shapes crashed towards ber out of the darkfness. She stood frozen,- choking with fear, then screa mcd and tan for the house. Mrs. Sommets met ber at the door. - "Whatever is the matter with you? Surely you' ve seen cows before."
