2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, ,Iune 12, 1985 THERE'S A MAN IN VOUR LIFE... by Jennifer Garland There's a man in your life. Not a brother, boyfriend or lover. He's your father. Next Sunday is Father's Day. It is a day to ponder and recali the many ways this individual has helped you become the person you are or will be in the future. He is a teacher. Where else can you find 'a better basebaîl coach than in your own backyard with other siblings patiently waiting for aturn at bat. A coveted tennis serve wouldn't be' the same without a consistent step back and swing from a man wanting to see you win. Nor would math class be the same without the addi- tional, often necessary, instruction from dear dad at home. After ail, math isn't worth crying over - anyone can do it. Or so he thinks. He is someone who believes in the importance of a good education. No matter how far you go, he believes you'l1 strive for excellence and success along the way. Blessed is the father who raises at night seeking the child distressed over the sound of harmless thunder overheadj or things that go bump in the night. He is a source of protection. Who better than a father can comfort you after a relationship has ended, concerned1 you might "cry yourself down the drain". After ail, as the saying goes, "there's more fish in the seas - one of themn must have your name on it." No matter who dumps you, you're always number one in your father's eyes. -'Luxuries such as cars, stereos and backyard pools are some of the benefits of a father who believes in pro- viding his children well, as are food, clothing and a roof over one's head. He is a provider. And although his bark is sometime's worse than his bite, he is your father. So you better remember him on Father's Day. There is a difference How often over the years have we heard the voicing that there is no difference between the two main policitcal par- ties, the Conservatives and the Liberals, "they are both the sarne" it has often been stated. Events in Ottawa over the past few months must clearly show that there is a difference and the difference in philospohy is beginning toshow up. The Wilson budget runs the cnrservative philosophy with everyone taking their share in the costs of the country eveni though some citizens arealready hard pressed to make ends meet. The privilege is turned to the rich while pensioners, are expected to accept a $1 ,500 degree in monitary terms over the next five years. Wilson nmade the statement that Canada has an acute shortage of rich people and one would suspect his budget is one to help correct this situation which he must see as somewhat appauling. Winston Churchill, a somewhat radical liberal put it this way '.The Tories love the working man", he said, "they like to make him work." It did appear throughout the world that conservatism was taking over with conservatives strong in England and Reagan in the U.S. and then of course the sweep in Ottawa. The recent election in Ontario gives an indication that people do still have some stand for liberalism even though the conservatives may well have brought about their own demise in the affairs of this province. But lberalism is alive and people in this country have shown that trait in their contributions, to the Ethiopia relief fund, their concern for the boat people and most recently their physical and monetary support for those suffering the loss of life savings that savaged portions of the province. Conservatism and its phîlosophy does have an appeal for the entrepeneur and most of us would like to think we belong to thîs class. It is not the case and the philosophy of conservatismn does have its limitations as far as the affaîrs of the community at large are concerned. The Wilson budget hardly cuts the deficit to any great amouflte but the hard terms of the conservative voice have given the view that other cuts must be made and again it is the one that can least afford it that is affected the most. The exemption of upwards of $500,000 in capital gain taxes will assist the [and owner and farmers in being able to re- tain their equîty upon retiring or selling but does little other than help the rich get richer in gains in the purchase and sale of gold, stamps and art. Paper entrepreneurship does nothing to crate jobs the conservatives unemployed to work. Coming to Orono Down town (From page 1) a peek into the future trend of bicycles could be on display.

Did you leave a trail of kind, ness, or a scar of discontent? A% you close your eyes ini sls$nber, dolNïou think Godwill say: "l'u have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today" .... ? On Sunday morning June 9th we missed our Sunday School children. Leading the service was Roîf Hellebust as Mrs. Lynda King had lost her voice. The choir sang, "Precious Memories" -with Mrs. Fern Foster at the organ. After the offering Steven Hellebust played "Largo" on his trumpet ac- companied by his brother Andrew. The scripture reading was John 17:1,2,6,17-23 The sermon topic: Living and Risking. The sermon was on the Union of the three chur- ,ches sixty years ago to form the "United Church". The thre churches that formed the United Church were, Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational, since then we have been joined by The United . 1Brethren. "That they A may be one; as thou Father, art in me and 1 in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me." The prayer of Jesus. We were pleased to have Mr. David Skerratt and his -three brothers and the four Mrs. Skerratts worshipping with us on Sunday morning.

Turansky, district director of Kendal Institute enjoyed a wonderful banquet inTrinity United Church Bowmanville on the occasion of their 85th Anniversary on June 6th at 12:30 p. m. On Tuesday June 4th six ladies met at the home of Mrs. L. Stapleton. In the absence of the president Mrs. Stapleton took the chair. She opened the meeting with the poem "-God's Garden" which ends with the words, 'The kiss of the sun for par- don, the song of the birds for mirth One is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth. We sang 401 Onward, Christian Soldiers. For the devotional Psalm 139. On U.C.W. Sunday the offering was $97.22 Offering tonight $15.50. The minutes were read and the financial report given. Mrs. Levina Ijownes' topic was "The case against Pornography." Pornography is big business ail across North America. In 1983 it grossed 10 billion, two billion of that was made throu gh 'kiddie pornography', the sexual exploitation of children in films, magazines, and video. Canada's sexpoitation in- dustry is wo rth 500 million a year according to a Toronto police unit dealing with por- nography. It's an industry built on greed. The police say there is no end in sight to its expansion or its excesses. Forty different porno magazines are now sold at news stands. The message that womnen are objects rather than pieoffle is reaching children through video, stores and newsstands, we must sec that laws are en- forced against its distribu- tion. The kids seemn to agree that it's disgusting but they see it and read it. This por- nographic industry makes a violent globe for women and features include a fabric show, an artist's show, and a special Christmas show. The Co-operative Showcase will be holding a bake sale at the Downtown Orono Business Association Sidewalk Salle July 20, 1985.

Stewart read an article on Sexual harassment. What you can do to fight it in the work place. Our ladies decided that for our annual trip we would go for dinner to the Legion Hall in Port Hope June l8th mneet at thse Cof fee Shop at Il a.m. any man or lady that wishes to join us is welcome. The closing hymn was "Blest be the tie that binds" Lunch was provided by Mrs. E. Foster. Each of us has a story write it down. In a senior citizen home in North Bay they decided they wanted to write a book. They needed so- meone to type their memories. Donna Sinclair agreed to do it. She says and 1 quote, "You can hear, for example, the timeless struggle between a father who realizes his boy has to grow up and a mother who resists that in Logan Eagle's description of going to a lumber camp with hîs father's work horses. Lot of themn went to the bush with their horses. They didn't let anybody else drive themn. 1 took a teami of horses when 1 was a boy, fifteen years of age. A fellow wanted to hire the team and Father said "No, 1 can't go. 'm too busy." But then he said -Vl'I send the boy with the horses. But 1 won't let anybody drive them but hîm." WeIl, the fellow wanted the teami badly and he wanted men. The First World War was on, you see. Dad came in and he told Mother and me. And Mother said, -You're not sending that boy out there with those horses." He said,"He'll be al right." So 1 went. They say a good team of horses, they'll look after themiselves. But I was afraid they'd cut themnselves. Dad said, "You look after yourself. The horses will take care of themselves." And he was right. 1 made enough money to send me to busines's college. 1 worked forty-two days at two and a haîf dollars a day, for myself and the team." We doni't haul logs much with horses any more. But the story continues to be true. We can recognize in ourselves the fifteen-year-old not sure if he is ready for a man's job; and the mother, wary of the risks for hier child. Because Logani capturcd it ln others can say "Yes 14~-,4 how 1 feel too."- Somie of you will bie plan- ting tumato plants for the first time. Young tomato plants have an enemy the cut worm. He cuts them off just below the ground so put a piece of waxed paper around the stemi (this applies to cab- bage plants also). Now dig a small trench, lay the taIt tomnato plant horizontally in the trench and let the top six inches rise up, cover with earth. Water each night. The cut worm will bite off the young peas. Corne very early in thé morning move the earth with your fingers away fromn the peas and you'Il find it and kili it. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Mrs. Grace Fed- dema on the death of her father, G. Bisschop on Frîday -lune 7. We extend our symi- pathy also to her mnother Mrs. Bisschop.
