2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 5, 1984 [ rono MJe1ktp Emnet The electorate have spoken Canada will embark for at least the next four years with a new Conservative government lead by Brian Mulroney who early this morning dedicated his government to the creation of jobs, the fulfilment of women's issues, a sensitivity in govern- ing and a new commitment and understanding across the na- tion. He called on support from the provinces, labour, in- dustry and the general public to aid in the resurgence of a new Canada. Mulroney has brought the Conservative party a long way in a short period of time since elected leader. His organizational skills are evident through the election results even though the Conservative party may well have been assisted by the departing Trudeau and his line of appoint- ments. One cannot but help wish the new government well in their endeavours and certainly the next few months and years will prove most interesting. Mulroney certainly has a wide field from which to choose his cabinet with the election of a possible 212 members. The sizeable majority could as well prove to have problems for the new Prime Minister for each and every member surely feels they have something of means to contribute. Watching the story unfold Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning one must be somewhat moved to hear the three leaders speak and their sincere recognition of the freedom that does exist in Canada for choice. As Canadians we have been blessed with this freedom throughout the years since even before Federation and blessed as few other nations are. Mulroney now has his greatest challenge as the leader of the nation. Turner, now in opposition, his challenge to rebuild the liberal party and Broadbent to continue his battle for recognition for his party. Another interesting period in Canadian history. How it ail happens Seat belt legislation is not having the lifesaving effect it had been hoped it would. It is not that seat belts do not save lives for the records do show that it does but rather it is a matter of attitude of the individual which incidentally is the whole problem as to safety on our highways. Seat belt legislation appears to have encouraged "law" abiding, low risk drivers to buckle up, the ones that do use common sense on the highways. Brian Jonah, a Transport Canada offici.al, in a recent news conference points out that those that ignore traffic laws also ignore the seatbelt laws. No doubt these are in the high risk areas and as a matter of fact are in- volved in the majority of accidents. Gerald Wilde, a professor at Queen's University in Kingston, may have part of the answer when he says "mandatory seat belts do not increase the desire for safety: it increases the desire to avoid a fine. He suggests that new methods be found to reward drivers for being accident-free as a better method to cut the number of high-risk drivers on our highways. This may not, however, prove to be so especially being mindful of the fact that of the younger drivers it now appears that percentage wise it is those that take Driver Education that are the higher risk even though they are rewarded with a lower rate of insurance in the first instance. It could well be that Driver Education is nothing more than a means for a reduced insurance rate rather than a safe operation of the automotive vehicle. Ils too bad that common sense doesn't prevail. Back to the books Hundreds of thousands of students in Ontario returned from the holiday season to grab their books for another session in education. It would appear that there is a tightening up in the educational system in this province due mainly toprotest from the general public. The Ministry of Education has introduced for those entering grade 9 more compulsory subjects to the core curriculum and this will continue to extend over a period of years. In many schools greater emphasis is be- ing placed on discipline and schools are to work out a code of behaviour, one in which the students themselves will be involved. Greater emphasis is also being placed on special needs for the gifted, those with learning problems and for the physically disabled. Ontario's Bill 82 is requiring schools to fit these children within the main-stream of education. It makes much more sense to start early in a child's education for stimulation of one form or another rather than in the past waiting until a student reached secondary school before meeting the problems. The pro- blem, at this point, is general beyond repair and the educational process is lost to the child. The present objective seems to make greater scene and although the objective may be too greater ex- cellence it still is mindful of the problem learner. The system of education may be more challeng- ing and at the same time more rewarding at the end.

Friday evening holds forth with the Adult Amateur Talent Contest, the Tug-O-War contest and the Team Drawing competi- tion. A Bicentennial parade is a new feature which opens the fair on Saturday with which now appears to be a sizeable parade which is to leave from the fountain on Mill Street North at noon complete with the O.P.P. Pipe Band , other bands and numerous. floats. The afternoon events will include the Western horse show, light and heavy horses, beef cattle and, of course, the poultry show, rabbit show and all inside exhibits.

Harness horse racing becomes the feature on Sunday with post time at 1:30 p.m. The day also features, in front of the grandstand, the Hunter and Jumper Competitions and on the arena stage commencing at 2:00 p.m. the annual Country and Western Jamboree. The sheep show has been moved to Sunday afternoon which is an added attraction for the day. Besides all the events the Orono Fair does provide the oppor- iunity for one to visit with neighbours, frîends and visitors who make the fair an annual event on their calendar. Sunday without fail to a Bap- tist Church in Virginia. While a fourth had gone to an Anglican church in La Pas in Northern Manitoba built by Sir John Franklin and his men who spent the winter there in 1777. They also made the furniture. Then this ill fated expedition was lost without a trace in Northern Canada. Then Miss Stewart told us about the organization of our United Church. First there is the local church. We belong to Newtonville charge served by a minister. These are grouped into a presbytery. Our Presbytery is the Oshawa Presbytery. The Bay of Quinte Conference takes in seven Presbyteries.

For the last concert of the series on March 31, 1985, the Climax Jazz Band have been invited back as requested by the audience survey taken last sprng. Someone has said this is the best bargain around. Consider that you don't have to drive to a large centre, find parking, pay handsomely for a good seat, feel a stranger in the crowd. With the Newcas- tle and District Series, the drive is minimal, the parking is free, the concerts and acoustics excellent and the audience neighbourly. You can even meet and talk with the artists. And the price is ,right. The series of four con- certs is the same price as last year: $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for students. Tickets can be obtained at the Orono Fair this week-end (September 6 - 8) and at Bowmanville Mal next week- end (September 13 - 15), Sheila Stiles (secretary), Judith Miklos (treasurer), Jonathan Staples, Orono (concerts manager), Grace Haldenby (publicity), Joan Santomero and others.
