. ......... 2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 15, 1985 Yes they do provide a needed service In setting the type for a Town of' Newcastle proclama- tion this week which made note of the recognition of Public Works week which is being observed at the present time we did rixn through mentally the services we do enjoy fromn this department both at the municipal and regional level. Ail too oftent we do take such services for granted and forget they have to be planned, promoted, financed and finally exercisedin an orderly manner with expertise in that our nor- mal patern of life is not disrupted or that our health and welfare is flot placed in somne form of mishap. The services of this department, not unlike the services of many others, do affect us on a daily basis both economical- Iy and as weIl to our general welfare. It is often easy to be critical but there are, at times, physical restraints to any service which we have to recognize. By and large we do enjoy an excellent level of Public wortcs service in this community both from thç 'own and front tlhc Region. Its at lcast worth a few minutes of our time to think about il and to even sày, "Yes we are fortunate". Disturbing news for Port Granby area The recent announcement by the Atomic Energy Con- trot Board that Eldorado has been granted a licence to con- tinue the use of the Port Granby dump for Iow level uranium waste until Decmber 3lst, 1987 has been disturbing for the Port Granby Monitoring Committee. The committee, ap- pointed by council of the Town of Newcastle, had been assured the dumnp would have been losed out in 1986. Since its inception the committee has sought a country- wide search for a suitable site for the waste to be stored when the dump was dec:ommissioned. To this end both the Town connnittee and a simlar committee in Hope Township have had little success ini getting a firmi commitment either fromt the government or the company. Eldorado is certainly interested in deveioping permia- nent storage in either the south of Newcastie or in Hope Township and are confident such storage can be undertaken safely. The committees have broken off talks with thec com- pany which we contend serves no useful point or at least hiasn't to this date. The company and the government are weil aware of financial implications, and as weii are aware that no one wýiii want the waste.in their backyard. The battie is to this point far from over. The Art of Street Walking 1 was strolling along the street the other day, enjoying our ever-diminishing suni, when a car pulled up 10 the curb and a long haired creepy thing leaned out the window and jeered, Hey Baby, want 10 gel lucky? The thing laughed and the car sped off. lnstinctively, I feigned self- induced illness with mny right finger and thought, Hey Jerk; want 10 get kîeked? Where il hurts the miost? Nothing is more disconcer- ting than uninvited advances from "mora" beings who have yet to learn the meaning of moral and apply ilt b their daily lives. [t seems a person can no longer walk along the street without som,-eone inter- rupting their serenity wth a honk, whistle or jeer. If the ignoramus only knew how ridiculous he looked hanging ouI the window like a dog getîing high on the speed of a car. My sister gave mie a lesson one day on the etiquette of street walking. Stroillng along a country road hin the middle of nowhere, we were passed by a fast m iha!£'- ton with an indiývidual1 inside waving madIy and honýking the horn. Thinking was a friend or neiglibour, I wavedi back. Bad miove. The truck stopped and remnained sta- tionary as we cont inued walk - ing. Theni a man lened out, not a friend or necigbbour, and drawled, "Hi girls". Can 1 give you a ide? Ahi, no thanks. Gee, that's looibd. 1 tho)uglit I'd gîive you a ride. Weil, let mie see you sm-ile then. Beinniiing o ted a lile nerus !j in the piddle o, nowhiere, We sm-ilÉed obedienst- iy, revealing î1wo sets of git- ted peariy whites. Intruder satisfied, he pulled away slowly and then floored it, leaving two sets of pearly whites covered in dust. The remainder of the walk involved Big Sister informning Little Sister on the art of street walking. Neyer smile or wave at somneone you don', know. Aiways walk wibh your head down. Neyer look strangers in the eye. Neyer watk alone. Neyer wear fiat- tering clothes. 1 thought it was going to be a pleasant walk. Why should 1 pay for somneone else's ig- norance by beîng ignorant myseif? ht is unfortunate that even the Sunday afternoon strol is sometimes an unplea- sant experience. Nowv, had hee been taîl, dark or blonde and hand- somne. . .Maybe that's a dif- ferent story. --JeifiTer Garland Kendla1 News A miother's good exampie is a chiid's finest gîft:- A careful mothk I1 must be To the littie ones who follow me.

Then she told us that her son Dr. John Stevens is a specialist on pig diseases. He told ber that the pig is a very intelligent animal. They'are also a very dlean animal. Fromi the day the little pig is bon àfinds a spot to urinate and always goes to that, place. If given a strawbed above dhe rest of the pen there it will go to sleep and keep it scrulpulouisly dlean.

Prairie Surveyors At the age of 19, ýoung Albert Loveridge succumbed to the stirring phrase "go west younig mani, go west". Arriving in Winnipeg from eastern Canada in 1882, he promptly signed up with a surveyor's party. Strîking out across the prairie with carts and instruments, the crew set out to subdivide the already surveyed townships into sec- tions. They often followed the Hudson's Bay freigliter trails and Albert recalled once overtaking some freîghiers headed north with a string of nineby Red River carts. Albert's first job was as a picket man, but he was also charged with mnilking the cows the crew had brought along - as no one else knew how to doi it.
