Forete, Edifw Sounding Great.... The Clarke Higb Scbool Spring Concert last week had some real bonuses for those in attendance and it came chiefly from the voices and instruments of the local high school musicians. The evening was a musical excbange programn with selections by the Ingleside bands as well as those from Clarke. It was the Clarke groups that excelled in their performances and the Clarke concert band, under the direction. of Peggy Mattbys, bas neyer sounded s0 good. The concert band warmed up with their first selection 'and then performed the next two selections with excellence. The combination Pines-Clarke choir was as well an outstanding feature of the evening under the direc- tion of Bill Scoffield. The voices had a good blend and were well-balanced in their offering. And then there was the Clarke Stage Band pro- viding the big band sounds of the late 30's and the 1940's. A full compliment of reeds and brass with a sound rhythm exhibited excellent tone and phrasing as this band presented tbree favourites of the big band era. It was quite evident the band was well rehearsed under the baton of Bill Scoffield. The program at Clarke last week did warrant a greater attendance fromn the adult population in the community than -tbat whick was presenit. The students and their teachers are to bc con- gratulated. Three Strikes and Your Out The third strike was called on Newcastle Promo- tio-n Day last Thursday morning without the town ever reaching first base or taking a good swing at the hall. Surely the annual event, held over for three consecutive years, is now on its way to the showers. With ail good intent council embarked on an an- nual Promotion Day in 1982 to stimulate interest in the resources of the municipality but the results do flot war- rant the effort. Last Thursday morning was, as we understood, to be an Industrial Promotion Day but out of a turnout of forty, only six, at the most, could be determined to be representative of local industry. It was an impossible situation'that became more negative and self-serving than positive. This is not to say that there were not few positive suggestions. Surely a municipality and local industry should create a lisse of communication and co-operation in the interest of the community. We suspect such an achieve- ment starts witli a selective few in industry, who in turn develop througbout the industrial community, an awareness of mutual benefits in co-operation. The at- titude must bc positive on the part of both parties and one must also respect there is no overnight magie. Councillor Hobbs was quite adamant and right when he stated the town did not need an Industrial Commissioner as suggested by one party. But even though the town bas little serviced industrial land at the present time, as pointed out by the Councillor, it is time to create a rapport with industry. "One may ask, what has its town down for in- dustry over the past ten years?" Surely the approach to the Base LUne industrial area off Liberty Street, Bowmanville is not such that is would impress a visiting industrialist. The town holds $400,000 in an industrial reserve. Why not spring a few dollars for a facelift into the industrial area instead of weeds and eroding banks conti- nuing to be prominent. t would help to convey a message of concern by the municipality as to the comfort and welfare of local industry. 0f recenit months a local industry, Plydesigns, Orono, bas unsuccessfully sought a federal boan to develop a line of "easy-to-assemible" furniture and to extend their export mrarkets in this field. The local firm is seekîng a modest amnount for this venture but has been unable to break tbrough. Surely this is an instance where the municipality couicd put their shoulder te the wbeel and rightfully se because it does represent jobs for residents of the municipality. Has the line of communication been such on the part of both parties that this could happen. Hunter and Orono Creek survey (Continued from page 1) that about fifty percent of tbe owners bave now been con- tacted and that the program is booked to the end of June in undertaking individual property surveys. He also states tbat there bas been good acceptance for the pro- gram and that people in general appear concerned and interested in the natural aspect of tbe creeks and tbeir property. He said there bas only been four or five rejec- tions to tbe survey to tbis point. The Hunter and Orono Creeks were given a high priority in the Watershed plan. Other areas to corne under a similar'plan are sec- tions of the Ganaraska River in the Kendal area for which some time may be found this year to undertake. Water courses in tbe Cobourg area are also to be included in the scheme at alater date. Town supports Showcase Co-op (Contînued from page 1) area. The Co-OP representative said they asked the extension of the lease at the present ren- tai rate in order that the business could become better estabiisbed in the commnunity and put the Co-op in a posi- tion to consider if it were feasible for tbemn to consider purchase of the building. The council supported a resolution by Councs. Hamre and Cowman that the lease be extended to December 3 1, 1985 and that staff prepare and submit a report as to the rentai rate for the building for the extended period.

Labour ready for a battie According to local members of the labour move- ment attending the recent Kendal News A CANADIAN Just today we chanced to ineet - Down upon the crowded street, And 1 wondered whence he came, What was once his nation's name?

Saturday, Sunday and Monday have been perfect June days with the announcer giving the morning temperature as 16 degrees Celcius or 61 degrees Fahrenheit. On Saturday afternoon we had the Manse Auction Sale at Newtonvilie. The baking sold weli, some at fabulous prices as some folks wanted to help the cause and have fun bidding. Six meat pies sold for $22.00. The bake sale totalled $160.00. Then many fine articles of furniture went for little,- almost notbing. There Was a perfect rnattress on a platform, as good as new, sold for fifty cents, simply because aIl the younger womnen wtb families were working on the first Saturday in June. .We toured the parsonage and the 'willing workers' have made a beautiful work of which they may be proud. The' newly decorated roorns are most attractive. Many thanks to our talented auctioneer, Mr. Frank Stapleton, who gives bis service free for this annual church event. Sundaywas a beautiful day for our awards day when the Sunday School put on the morning service. The service was led by Mr. Don.Peddar, t he Sunday School Superintendent for the comn- ing year. The sermon was given by Roîf Hellebust. Those with perfect atten- dance were Brian Boudrea, Kelly Mercer, Chrissy Walker, Peter Fonk and Tanya Mercer. Much credit is due to the teachers Mrs. Doug Mercer, Mrs. Doug Walker and Mrs. Don Peddar with their assistants. We were disappointed that thlie children's fat hers failed to at- tend as they had in former past two years in wages and benefits.

Right from the start, Jack fitted in and made Life casier for everyone. -Mr. Sommers trusted him. One day he bad to go down to the soutb field and asked Jack to keep an eye on the cows. "They're fine wbere tbey are, but don't let tbemn get into the turnip field. We'll need the whole crop for winter."1 It was a lovely afternoon. Jack stretcbed out on the grass under an apple tree. 'dI like to own a farm like this one day, " be said to Mol- ly who was puzziing Ôut a story Mrs. Sommers had given ber. "I'd grow wheat and oats and keep aIl kinds of animaIs and . ... Jack stopped in mid-sentence. -What was that?" he jumped to his feet and ran to the bouse. P,-"., ran after him. Tbey found Mrs. Sommers lying unconscious on the kit- chen floor. Pieces of broken pottery, were scattered al around ber. "Quick, Polly bring a towei and corne water." Jack kneit down and felt Mrs. Sommers' forehead. He sponfged ber face gently but shte didn't stir. "We'd better get her into bed," said Jack. "You lift her arms." It was difficuit to carry ber, but at last they managed to get ber into bed. "Jack!" came a sharp cry from the yard. Mr. Sommers was back. Jack ran outside to tell bim wbat bad bappened but Mr. Sommers was too angry too listen. He grabbed Jack by 'the shoulders and shook him. "The cows were in the turnips!", Just then Polly leaned out of the window. '-Corne quick. She's waking up!" Mr. Sommers stopped, confused, then ran into the bouse. A few minutes later he called to Jack, "Look bere, 1 can't leave Bella, but we need Dr, Osborne. Go across the river on the stepping stones - it's the quickest route. Leave a message for the doctor if he's not in and get here as soon as you can." UNITED CHURCH 8' Orono Pastoral Charge Minister Rev.
