t-Omo Weekly Times, Wednesday, lune 19, 1985 Congratulations This past week bas been one that bas seen a great deal of activity of one form or another and we feel comment and congratulations are certainiy in order. This community does owe a debt of gratitude to Dorothy Robinson and Rev. and Mrs. Haldenby, both parties who were feated over the week-end in their retirement from their particluar professions. Both have played their part in strengtbening the fabric of the community, througb their outiets at the Orono Public School and at St. Saviour's Anlglican Cburch. Botb the school and the church are vibrant in this com- munity and as commented by Mrs. Haldenby, "it is a famîly affair". This in itself maàkes for community spirit of which both Dorothy, Allan and Grace played their respective rolîs. To these three it is "tbank-you", congratulations and al the best in the future. And then in the world of sports Greg Vey is to be con- gratulated for bis dedication andi determination in tbe field of hockey. The interest of the Toronto Maple Leafs in this Orono boy is a credit to im and bis ability on the ice. In the field of commerce in Orono, Wolfram and Chris Ktose are to be congratulated-in their encfeavours at the Orono Exotic Cat Farmn which places another feature for tliis area in the realm of tourism,. In al it was a busy week-end and wbere better for it to bappen than in the Village of Orono. Recycling eould Iead the way The recent engineering report'submitted to the Region of Durham concerning garbage disposai possibly had no sur- prises for anyone as it outiined recyciing, incineration and i andfill as tbe means of coping witb the ever increasing pro- blemn ofgarbage disposai and the damage to the enviromnent it creates. It is 110w timne to take some action towards the ultimate end of the probiem and recyciing is the first step and easiest step to taken. It does not require huge capital expenditures and surely the cost can be borne by those who must make use of the service. As outlined in an article in this week's paper some ad- vancement bas been made in Bowmanville, Oshawa and Whit- by througb volunteer borne separation for recycling. In that this bas been undertaken is these communities is a step in the rigbt direction and is in advance of the next step to be taken. To bave mandatory home separation of garbage into tbe areas of glass, metai and papers is going to take political stamina but it is the next logical step to be taken and the least costly for al concerned. Eacb individual does bave a responsibiiity to the en- vironment as he does on tbe ighways and byways where he or she must observe regulated speed limits flot only for bis benefit but for the benefit and safety of others. Its time to exercise a greaterdegree in conservation in ail our ways of life and according to a recent worid report on energy waste Canada and Canadians bave a wide scope in whicb to make improvements. We top ail countries on energy' consumption and thus waste. If notbin&_ else we owe it to future generations to pro- mote a world in wbich tbey can enjoy those things wbich al too often we bave taken for grantea.

Patience strong. Sunday morning there was a dense fog on the sixth uine as I drove to church. Down in Kendal the parade was get- ting lined up. The Kendal Fife and Drum Band dressed in orange and white ied, followed by Kendal L.O.L. - 405 and the visitors. Then the Purpie Hill Juvenile Band of 23 members dressed in purple and blue paraded for the first time. They led the Brooks Memorial Junior Lodge of Kendal - 525 dressed in blue and white. They were follow- ed ýby the ladies L.O.B.A. dreýed in white. They mar- cbed around the village then intoi the church behind the colour party. Rev. T.H. Smith received the flags piac- ingtbem in the standards for the duration of the service. The service opened with the singing of "Oh Canada!" followed by prayer and the hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers". The scripture reading was the story of the Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 read by Major Bihl Clarke. Then the choir sang "Precious Memories". The second bymn was, "Stand up! Stand Up For Jesus". The sermon was entitled "A new look at an old story". Rev. Mr. Smitb said that Luke was the only writer that told this beautiful story. Dr. Luke was a gentile. He was the only writer to tell us about Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, and her cousin Mary meeting before their babies were born. Then he tells us of Mary and Joseph meeting these two older people Simeon and An- na in the temple. He tells bow Sîmeon took the baby Jesus in bis arms and praised God saying, "Now I can die con- tent for I have seen the Saviour". Anna also proclaimed the Messiah's arrivai to kindergarten. In 1954 she married Gerald Robinson and in 1955 left teacbing to raise a faniily of four boys. In 1969 Dorothy returned to the Orono Public School as librarian on a baif-time basis. The position, in 1979, was extended to full time when Lockharts and Orono schools weretwinned. In responding Dorothy Robinson tbanked those pre- sent for the beautiful gift and said the niglit was one of everyone. Then Luke tells us of the long journey from Nazare.th to Bethlehem before the baby Jesus was born. As a doctor be is interested in tbese things whereas Matthew the tax coi- lector is interested in the wise men'bringing rich gifts. One day a lawyer asked Jesus, "What does a man need to do to live forever in beaven?" Jesus repiied, "Wbat does Moses' law say about it?" "It says" be repiied, "You must love the- Lord your god and your neighbour as yourself.- "Right!" Jesus said, "'Do this and you shall live." He asked, "And who is my neighbour?" Then Jesus toid, The Story of the Good Samaritan.> Rev. Mr. Smith told of various ways we could be "Good Samaritans". We too often think of our neighbour as a member of our lodge. Sometimes it is in smali things we can be a good neighbour like turning off car lights that the car owner bas forgotten. Then I remembered that I bad my ights on as I came to churcli in the fog and bad forgotten to turn themn off. I had vi- sions of walking home but when I came out some "Good Samartan" had turn- ed themn off. The choir sang "Shah We Gather At the River." The service closed witb the Benediction and,"God Save The Queen".« Next Sunday Rev. John Peters of Bowmanville will be conducting the service. Bap- tîsm at Kendal of the Peddar twins.

We wish them good health for the coming year. The Kendal Women's In- stitute met at the home of the president Mrs. L. Catbcart on Wednesday, at noon, for their June picnic meeting. However the temperature on the l2tb was61 Degrees F. or l6-Degrees C., too chiliy for outdoors. So we enjoyed a bounteous pot-luck dinner in the large front room attended by fifteen members. After the "Ode"e and the Mary Stewart coliect, Miss C. Stewart introduced the guest speaker Mrs. Helen Schmid co-author of "Out of the Mists". A history of Clarke Township. Mrs. Schmid told us that lier daugbter came home from school with a list of questions on the history of Orono. Whilc searching for some, of the answers she became interested in the whole area of Clarke. She in- terviewed many people. She found information in cemeteries, in census records, in letters of long ago etc. She collected many pictures of people and places. Maps sucli as the Tremaîn map gave a lot of information. This infor- mation had to bc checked for accuracy. At a course she at- tended the leader said, "If you can't check it, forgzet it." writing and typing of this materiai in preparation for the book took three years. In 1976 it was published. A second projeet that she bas spent a lot of tinie on is famiiy trees. People wvrite f romn far away wanting in for- mation concerning members of their fgrmilies, who once lived here, perhaps several years ago. At the present t(i me she hiad a letter inquiring about Harriet Crooks who long ago moved from east of Kendal to Midiand.
