Community Service Programn Gains Top Marks The Community Service Programn of Durham Region requiring young offenders to perform community work as part of their sentence has been given topmrsb the University of Toronto. pmrsb A study carried out by the U of T criminology cen- tre on 100 young people in 1982 and 1983 reports that the community service program helps in the rehabilitation pro- cess of these young people. The plan puts young offenders to, work for a specified number of hours on jobs in the community which includes custodial work, teaching crafts, assisting at homes for the aged and in many other areas whicb would also inlude work as at the Orono Fair as has bappened over the past couple of years, at the Orono Atbletic and even'at some private enterprises. In the Town of Newcastle, a branch of the Durbam Region program, operates matcbing work programs with young' offenders. This programi is organized and ad- ministered by a group of volunteers headed up this year by Diane Hamre of Orono. The branch does operate with a co-ordinator, Pat Rundle, who overseas the programn as it affects the individual and the so-called employer. Frank Drea, Minister of Community and Social Services for the province of Ontario in commenting on the U of T report and findings said the results do justify the government's beief in rehabilitation of young offenders. Drea is correct when he also sates that community involvement is preferable to jail for the young offenders. The Durham Region Community services Program which includes the operation out of the Town of Newcastle is to be commended for their efforts in the interest of our younig people and one would have to not only pass along congratulations but also wish themn well in the future. Our Harvest of blessings lt's been a year when the hardbeaded phrase "lean andic mean " made a comeback; a year when the label t "Istingy and fussy" was worn by some like a badge of honour. And it's been a year for details: Poring over bills, scoutingout bargains and scouring the job ads. But Thanksgiving Day 1984 remains a time to re- t mind ourselves that the bottom line isn't connected to*.a bank balance or a microprocessor screen, It's to be found in the warmth of friends and family, and in the amazing bounty of our rich and varied land. Looking around, at this harvest time, wbo can belp but count our blessings? This country is onie of the wealthiest, most peaceful and healthiest on earth. Our farms and fisheries produce 1 more than we can ever need. Our mines and forests have made us purveyors of resources to every corner of the c globe. Our higb-technology industries reacb far into space. c In a time of recession,' famine and war for much of the world, our biggest problem is expanding our wealth fast enough to create work for those among us who need it, and to preserve our enightened and generous social c safety net.1 We have much to be grateful for on this holiday t week-c:nd. Wbetber gathering with froiends and family for a a festive dinner, savouring the smell of woodsmoke in the 1 autumn air, or surveying that blaze of scarlet in the park or d forest, let us give thanks for al that is ours.t News A Frayer for Those Alone I live alone, dear Li Stay by my side.

After much discussion and 1,I pray, explanation a vote was taken and by a majority the second ng îow option was chosen.

Charles the First belîeved in the Divine Rigbt of Kîngs. .He said, "Tbe King can do no wrong." If a United Cburcb minister tays a year on a charge then leaves, owing debts, the Charge bas to pay those debts. Orono churches had to pay the debts the Boat People left behind when they departed. Now how often does a mînister have to be forgiven bis debts?- Can hie inove from Charge to Charge each year and bave bis debts paid eacb time lie moves on? [s this his Divine Right? Several years ago the amateur theatre groups eastý of Toronto and nortb of Orono used to compete in the Orono Town Hall for two nights during the Orono Fair in September. I attended and enjoyed tbe marvellous ac- i ing. The judge said, "Ibis is a beautiful little town hall and the voices can be heard disîinctly. It is also in a cen- irai location." Players from New England came to Orono after visiting several other towns in searcb for an ideal historic bail for tbis historic miovie "Dead Zone". Surely it deserves to be designated a historical building eligible for any grants available for its uipkeep. Now "Ted" bow could you fail to support .your own town? Wby did you, let us cdown?
