The loss of somne three hundred jobs would have had an adverse impact in Orono for the many who are employed at the plants and as well the same impact would have been feit by many of the com- mercial enterprises who do provide service to the Group. It bas to be a disappointment to Mr. Samuel who started business in this community back in 1949 and who during the following years nurtured the meagre beginning of two hand presses to a sizeable operation hiring upwards of three hundred. But that the Orono Group must be a viable operation a sale was possible and from what we unders- tand the operations are to continue and even expand in this community. Orono has been fortunate in the past through the operation of the industry in Orono and it appears this will continue into the future without interruption. Indeed good news for Orono. Must Uphold the Law Although this corner would support the opera-, tion of private abortion clinies such as Dr. Henry Morgantaler it is another matter to consider that acquit- tais such as received by Morgantaler recently does in fact replace the law as set out by Parliament through legislation. SWe have ta support Roy McMurtry, Ontario's Attorney Genieral, in his appeal and doagree with his reasoning in lodgeing the appeal. Sturely the recent aquittal an'd the former threein ,Quebec do not satisfy the requirements of the law 'nor shoul d they determine the law to be invalid. The action of, in this case, forty-eight jurors is nat a law-making procq;s. This responsiblity is held by the gavernment ot the cly. .We do however believe thatthere should be change in the law that a woman dloes have the right over the final decision. It is a matter of prîvilege and shouid be borne out in the Charter of Rights. Accusing Morgantaler of being an opportunist and operates only for financial gain is less than vali d and perhaps gendered by spite more than truth. There is no doubt the, issue will be around for some timne as goyernment hesitates to become involved even though the present systemn is somnething less than perfect. There is need for change in the law but it should not be decided through decisions miade by jurors. A Good Tîme Downtown Downtown promotions such as carried out last week and this week in the Village of Orono are designed in the interest of having fun and from ail information dispelled by provincial Association it is the real purpose of the Organizatians. Surely, ta a degree, this bas to be the case of'such as last week and a former promot ion of a sidewalk and yard sale which was held in thie Oronlo downtown area in September. It nust be that residents of the Orona catch the spirit of their downtown areas and this writer was somnewhat impressed with the attitude of some donwtowni busiess people as they communicated with somne of the pedestrians last week. it is the spirit of the downtown area which is an important factor and feature of success.

Helen Steiner Rice On Sunday morning December 9h, wbich was beatifully cairn, and muid, with the temperature 4 degrees C or 40 F, there was a good turn out at church and a full choir. The choir looketi most attractive in their new blue chair gowns. They sang, "What chilti; is this?" as a Christmas antheni. Rev. R.C. Hopkins ai Trinity Bowmanville was the supply minister. We hope that Mrs. Lynda King may soon be recovereti froni the flu and laryngitis. A very special number was a con- tralto solo by Mrs. Judy Fonk ai Waadstock entitleti, "Oh Holy Nigt." Judy bas been witb ber mother Mrs. E. Foster for a few tiays. One annauncement was tbat tbe Suntiay School Pageant will be held during the regular service tume at 11:15 a.m., Dec. 23 Sunday morning.

Thcý descendants ai this famnily arc today honored citi/ens of' Hamilton and other parts, of Canada. Some years ago John H. Land read before the Wentworth Historical Society a paper in which he told of' the patriotismn and self-sacrifice of bis great- grandiparents, the founders of the family fortune~s on the shores of' Lake Ontario. Mr. John H. Land's paper is the chief source of our story, "The Layalists." The Treaty of Versailles was signed towards the close of 1783 anti in 1784 the great body af Loyalists arrived in Upper Canada now Ontario. That year, therefore is a gloriaus one in the annals of Ontario. To commerate the one bundreti anti fittieth an- niversary of the U.E. Loyalists we have in 1934 printed anti published this book Rous and Mann Ltd. Toronto. Prologue An bour before tiawn on Sept. 27, 1778 1, Abel Land stooti with my brothers and sisters by my mnotber's side in a cornfield near aur farm and bomesteadnin bis NMajesty's Province of' New York. We tiid not mnove or cry out as we saw the rnounting lames deour aIl that we possessedi. Scarcely did wýe d'are tiraw, breath: we knew that, were we ta be found, wýe must share the fate of aour neighbouLrs beyond thie river. That everyý night those neighbours, father, miother anti cildren, had bieen murdereti while the\ slept. Escape seemedi in truth almost beyond hiope for us-. By the glare we swthe figures ai Indians maving about, sanie capering in triumph, some herding together the oxen and'farm animais, the spoils of war. In- dians! Weil we kne1w these were no red men, and that beneatb the paint and c feathers were skins as white as aur own. This it seemed was the climax and enti of the persecutian we had suffered since tbree years before, my father had let us for tiutv wîîhl tlie King-'s force'. fihc climx! 'was uitlthe ave- Liurc:%we -Wcee mcrciflly spared the knowletige ai the days ta camne, filled wvith danger, privation and beart- break until that distant time when God brougiht us through aur troubles andi gave us peace. (The story shorteneti) Father shouldereti bis musket and left ta join the King's forces, leaving Mother andi the seven af us on the fanm. John was' the oldest and would soion be eighteen. One ai our neighbours was Theophilus Morden, a QuaKer. He was well educateti and hati travelled mnuch and was lately returneti from Niagara. 1 remember well his description ai the stupendous cataract andi the whirling waters beneath it. We followed Mr. Morden's precepts anti endeavoured ta live at peace with aIl men; but it was not long ater my iather's tieparture that the rebels descendeti on us. The iirst flow was the imprisan- ment ai my brother, John, at the hantis ai six rebels led by Tharnassan. We hearti that one armny ai the King farces had sur- rentieret i a Sarataga. This was in November 1777. Sa Thomiasson anti bis rebels took over the local gavern- muent, levied taxes, anti secretily hlarassed and pillageti ail Tfories. When waultioaur turn camec?
