2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 22, 1984 Ail but over? If one takes the resuits of the recent poils as being cor- -rect the federal election is ail but over and John Turner may well become the Prime Minister with the least time in office. There would, apparently, have to be a massive change in the attitude of the electorate over the next week and a haif if Brian Mulroney is not to become Prime Mînister of Canada come September 4th. The polis now show that the majorîty of voters do voice commitmnent to one or other of the major parties and as such no Party can expect any great swing from the uncommitted. Canadians have flirted with change in the not too dis- tant past and elected Joe Clark to the office of Prime Minister and it now appears they are ready again for change. But here the mfajority of Canadians look not for change in policy but rather change in style and this was evident with Trude au in 1968. The poiis record that the majority of Canadians do flot expect any great changes in policy or government direction if the liberals are dumved in the election. Mulroney bas been effective in saying littie but saying it well and after a few shots in the foot hbas ruffled few feathers. Turner on the other hand lacks the style and which is not un- common for the liberals has lacked in organization. Canadians are in the most cases small "P' iberals and Mulroney and the Conservatives have corne to realize this as a fact and their campaign is fashioned to reach the majorîty of Canadians. 0f course mec counit on September 4th is the final judge- ment for who stands where and why. While most people in Canada see littie difference bet- ween the liberals and the conservatives at this point it is flot the case in the United States, where the Republicans and the Democrats are battleing it out in their presideiflial election year. The Republîcans are direct in turning eýen further to thse right calling~ for lower taxes, fewer governimenit programs for tihe poor, increased defence spending and less involvement by the governiment in the economy. 1The Democrats, on the other nand, counter aimost cvdry policy of the Republicans calling for increased taxation to offset the deficit, increased social services, decreases in defence spending and more involvement with the economy. This is in sharp contrast to what we have been given in the Canadian election and it has to note a difference in attitude of the people of both countries. If again the polis are correct, the liberal Conservatives in Canada and the rightwing Republicans in the United States could find themselves in the saine position. A 'New Look' Division Street in the Village of Orono bas certainly taken on a new look witb the comrpletion of roadwork by the Town of Newcastle Public Works Department. With work being completed to wbat the Director of Public Works calis Urban design the street now has proper curb, gutter and catch basins as well as being paved. Its a credit to the Town and to the Village of Orono and must, be a welcomed improvement for the residents on the street.

When it was over my callers stepped outside the door and almost feul in the darkness on tise ice. Many trees were uprooted. Next morning, the flower beds and gardens were in ruins. 1 had watered my tomates ail tbrougis the dry wyeather then the last ten days plenty of ramn had corne-and tbey had begun to yield abundant- ly. The potato tops that were such a dark green the day before were beat into the ground. (Fortunately littie potatoes taste the best.) The onions will be O.K. they don't need- tops t o grow large bulbs. We will miss our gardens but tise young farmers wiso bave spent so much on fer- tilizer for tiseir fields of corn are the ones wbo will be hurt thse rost. Gardon Morton bas flot only thse farms on the sixtb uine in corn but also the Johnson farmn on tise eigbtb uine in corn. They tell me it is s0 badly ruined that tise stalks and the cobs are completely stripped of, leaves. Mr. Frank Manning's tobacco crop at Kendal is wiped out. Lads who were to be employed there wiil have no work this season. In 1944 when hail hit the Kendal area it was the first week in July. The leaves grew on tise corn again. Our spy apples al bad two dints in tbem 5so they would not keep and had to be sold to the Cer- to plant in Cobourg.. We sbook the trees. The children gathered them into tea boxes but soon the price became s0 poor that tbey weren't worth isauling to Cobourg. At that time it left dints in the telephone poles. One motiser in the west. whose wheat crop was bailed out, sent the cbildren out when it stopped to gatiser the bail stones and tbey made ice- cream. In July 1934 1 went to ST.
