Z-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 7,1984 SecondCGass Mail Registrationr Number 00&68 Pubsli5sedEveryWednesdayattheoficeofPublication MainStreetOrono Roy C. Forrester, ditor Doors have been closed long enough The doors of Ontario Community Colleges have been closed long enough to its academic students and it is past time that the Province took action to ensure the many thousands who seek an education and future through the Community College system have that available to them again. It is most difficult for the general public to judge the merits of the strike with conflicting reports from the teachers and the College of Regents. The present holdout appears to come from work hours with the teachers indicating they are spread too thin and that education at the Community College does suffer. The College of Regents disputes the claim leaving the general public with little base on which to make a judge- ment in the dispute. The Province, we feel, should direct teachers back to the classroom and let negotiations continue. The real damage is now directed at the students who are the real losers in this dispute which is now all but a waiting game on the part of the negotiators. Is an hour here or there going to make a dif- ference to the quality of education? It does get ridiculous when one considers such negotia- tions as that underway with the Northumberland and Newcas- tle Board of Education and Secondary teachers who have been negotiating over a period of nine nonths for a new contract and this is not unusuail. It must be a waste of time, discussion must turn into nit-picking and it all must simply boil down to a waiting game. We have waited long enough in the Community College strike and the time is now for the Province to step in ensuring an education for the students of this province.

The choir sang "Will your anchor hold". The flowers at the altar were in memory of Mrs. Mark Atkins. in the announcements we were reminded that Ihis Saturday Nov. 10t h at I p.m. is Kliendal U.C.W. bazaar. This is a community effort all ladies are asked to provide. There are tables for home baking,-crafts, vegetables and a touch and take table for wrapped articles valued at 50c. Lunch will be served. Some of the Kendal ladies took in the senior citizen bazaar and the Kirby U.C.W. bazaar held in Orono on Saturday afternoon. Both had an abundance of lovely articles in baking and crafts. This writer was pleased to meet Mrs. Shirley (Quantrill) Moffat of Cornwall at the bazaar. She tells us that in the summer she helps at Upper Canada Village. Mrs. Ursula Smuk has returned from West Germany where she was visiting her father and other members of her family. October the 31st the Ken- dal U.C.W. met in the church kitchen for our November meeting with nine ladies pre- sent. The President opened the meeting with a poem entitled, "The World is Mine" and Hymn 254 "Father whose will is life". Our devotional leader Mrs. M. Stevens sent around a questionaire asking for a "Yes" or "No" answer. It was, "Do you believe in capital punishment"? Then she said it was a question to which we must give a lot of thought. She herself does not believe in. capital punishment and she gave ber reasons. The United Church has passed a resolu- tion that it is against the return of the death penalty as a backward step. Mrs. H. Wood gave as her scripture reading St. John I verses 35-51. Her topic was Stewardship in Action. An- drew brought his brother Peter, the rock, to Jesus. Philip became a Christian and brought Nathanael to the Lord. Stewardship evangelism, and mission, are all linked together in the work of our church. Mrs. D. Youngman gave an account. of the morning session of the Presbyterial at Ebenezer. She enjoyed especially the skit depicting for women at Heaven's Gate meeting St. Peter. She secured a copy of the skit and we hope to act it out. She also enjoyed the circuit rider or saddle bag preacher of long ago dressed i top hat, swallow tailed coat and white stockings. She told of the two exchange ladies from Korean. One an ordained minister, president of the churches Women's Association, the other an elder in the Presbyterian Church of the Republic of Korea. Mrs. E. Foster described how much she enjoyed the Korean Emanuel United Church Choir from Toronto made up of eight young women and eight young men and their leaders dressed in native costume. They sang "The Lord's my Shepherd" and "Corme Holy Spirit" in Korean. The soprano soloist sang "The Holy City" with expertise, grandly accom- panied by Yeakyoung Lee. The men sang "Nearer My God to Thee" with unbelievable harmony. Mrs. L. Downes gave the financial report. lncluding donations the bake sale nei- ted $132.50. Balance on hand $470.50. Offering $19.00. Roll call - Your favourite hymn: Answers "How Great Thou Art", "The day thou gavest." Beyond the Sunset. "Holy, Most Holy Art Thou to the tune Largo, etc. Then we planned the bazaar. Closing hymn 259. Lunch was provided by Mrs. L. Downes of muffins and wild grape jam. Next meeting December 5 at Mrs. H. Woods, a pot luck dinner. Each gives a number on the program. There will be a gift exchange. THE LOYALIST by Selwyn Baniwell (Continued from Iast week - Father said; "To-night I leave to enter the King's ser- vice.") Chapter Il - Home And so John and I not yet grown men entered upon the rule of our kingdom. My mother, tender and brave, then and thereafter, through all the visissitudes of fortune, was the centre of our little universe drawing and holding with her love her seven children, as the sun draws and holds his seven planets. Of the children after John and myself came William (named after my father's brother) Ephraim, and Kate. At the age of sixteen Kate was already mistress of the dairy, and could, more 'ver, run and ride andi manage a canoe with the best of her brothers. Lastly came Robert and baby Phoebe. Robert though but nine was old beyond his years. The one remaining member of the household was Captain Jack, an Indian servant who had attached himself to the family no one knew, how many years before. Captain Jack was feeble in his wits and idle in his habits; he liked to chatter, laugh, play childish tricks and bask in the sun. I have called him a servant but he was more like a favourite dog around the place and he had one virtue that belongs to dogs rather than Indians: faithfulness. There was another Indian who often visited us: Long Time Star was the singular name he bore. He was suilen and taciturn to such a degree that I do not believe that I ever heard his voice. He was wont to sit with Captain Jack by the hour and though ap- parently no word passed his lips, the two tribesmen must have understood and com- municated with each other. i was rather suspicious of Long Time Star, for I knew he con- sorted with both whites and Indians who were no friends of ours. He had often been seen at the place of Thomasson, the wheelwright, near the Delaware ferry beyond Cochecton. This Thomasson had long been disaffected to the Government, when the rebellion came to a head he was its local leader and at the time of my father's departure he held some sort of authori- ty under the Continental Congress which he had at- tended at Philadephia in the previous year. At the first he was my father's political adversary; at the last his im- placable enemy. Our nearest neighbours and closest friends were Jesse Kane and his family who dwelt on the opposite bank of the river. Kane, like my father, was an Old England man, as the native born Amercians called them, and when the two met they followed the custom of the Entglish. grumbling and rail- ing ar ihe Governmeni ai home and the ignorance, of the place men in parliament and the folly of the tax laws. This was for their private relief: when they went abroad or conversed with strangers, there was no stauncher Tories in the Thirteen Colonies than Robert Land and Jesse Kane. Not long after ny father's departure we found ourselves the objects of persecution at the hands of the rebels. The first blow was the im- prisonment of my brother John. One evening at dus a company of six men led by Thomasson thundered at our door and presented a warrant for his arrest, under the authority of the Republican Government. It was useless to resist; John was marched off towairds Cochecton and it was many years before we saw him again. This seemed to be a declaration of open war on the part of Thomasson; his emnity could not reach my father, so he visited it upon the heads of his wife and children. Nevertheless for some time thereafter we were annoyed and frightened rather than attacked. There was a night raid on our cattle and once or twice some damage to our crops. The patriots were lying low. (to be continued) Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Cathcart and Mr. & Mrs. Ken Baptie have returned from a trip to the Maritime provinces. Mr. Harland Elliott is now at his home north of Kendal. On Thursday he goes back to 1 oronto for another checkup. Mrs. Julia Jackson is still in Bowmanville Hospital but- improving.
