2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday,. October 23. 1985 A Parkig Furn The issuance of 49 parking tickets in violation of park- ing regulations in Orono last week and as well in other parts of the municipality did create a furor of protest which stili con- tinues. The enforcement of the parking regulatiofts bas been long overdue and although being critized by somne there are others who are ini support of the action and do see benefit, The Highway Traffic Act is an act in force throughout the province and it does regulate on-street parking to a max- imumn of three hours, In the downtown area of the Village of Orono a Town of Newcastle by-law regulates parking time to a maximum of two hours and is clearly stated as such through the use of signage installed under regulations. The regulations are flot somnething new in this Village, theY have been here for years. What is new however was the enforcemnent of the regulations last week. 1This enforcement may have been sparked by recent évents at Town council where a motion was passed calling for a meeting with Regional Police and memrbers of council to discuss what appeared to be the lack of enforcemnent of town regulations which were being directed to Regional Police. If other groups and individuals were having difficulties ini obtaining en forcement of such as the parking by-laws as has the Orono Downtown Business Association then there should have been a concern for council members and the planned meeting with Regional Police was warranted. The Orono DBIA made an attempt in 1984 for enforce- ment both throughi the Town's by-law enforcement office and Regional Police. A brief attempt was undertaken and then shortly thereafter dropped. As weIl there was no follow-up by the Town's department as to whether or not the request for en- forcement had been meet. The latest attempt in 1985 was before the departments for five weeks before action resulted and thîs likely due to the request by council for a meeting. Others in the south of the Village had become frustrated over their attempts to have by-laws enforced and spoke of Street cluttered with parked cars 'and even vehicles under repair. It was time to cati a meeting and to discuss the issue for it was going nowhere and the situation was only worsening both downtown and in other parts of the Village. Unfortunately some comments by some police officers have been less than professional and did tend to be of a per- sonal nature which bas flot helped the issue. Out of ait the dialogue that flot doubt will take'place a workable arrangement may well be set forth in the interest of ail. i the treatment of aîcoholism, medicine has become aware of a phenomenon known as the "geographical cure". Some aîcoholics, sensing that they are drinking too much or simply that life has become difficuît, be- gin to think that the problem is in their surroundings. They suspect that if they lived in some other city, some other environment, in another group of people, things might be different. Many of them do move, onîy to find that they have taken their major problems with them, that is, themselves and their own alcohoîism. I was reminded of the illusion of the "geographical cure" recentîy when the Libyan Foreign Minister told the United Nations General Assembly that New York and the Americans were the world organization's major problems, and that ,everything wouîd get better if the UN were moved. What wishful nonsense! It-isn't the first time that some indignant member nation has sug- gested that the UN would be better off out of New York. New Yorkers tend to regard the UN as a bit of a joke, and are often rude about it., The Libyan spokesman also pointed out that his own leader, Muammar Gaddafi, wouldn't corne to-the UN because he was af raid of the CIA. But no matter how, much the U.S. would like To get rid of Mr. Gaddafi, you can rest assured that the CIA would work overtime to prevent his being snuffed out on U.S. soif. Perhaps we should ask ourselves who wouîd pay for the UN's relocation. At the moment, the United States picks up a quarter of the annual $4.5 billion UN tab, or $1.15 billion. Congress doesn't like it, and is agitat- ing for a weighted UN voting system based on contri- butions. The Soviet. Union picks up 12.22 percent of the tab, or about $560 million. Canada pays 3.08 per- cent, or about $ 142 million. And Libya, whîch proposes an expensive move, pays about a quarter of one per- Kendal New s Time is not measured by the years that we lîve, But by the deeds that we do and the joys that we give.

Kendal bas looked like fairy land for the last week, a favourite spot for artists to set up their easels is on the bill just south of the village. Sunday was our anniver- sary but tbe attendance was smalî. The flowers at the altar were in memory of Mrs. Florence Wright placed there by the Wright family. We ex- tend our sympathy f0 fhem. Mrs. Wright is Mrs. Len Fal's mother. The full choir sang as an anthemn "He touched me"), led by Mrs. Helen Wood. Then the minister talked to thbe children about our An-. niversary. Long ago people dreamned about building a church here. They built it in 1970. The builder was MIr. Cooper. [heir dreami came t rue. What do wve wanf to happen in this church in the future? What are your dreamns? One littie girl said she wanted to sing in t he choir, another lad wanted to see more people at churcb, etc. So the prayer they repeafed after the minister was, "Lord, we bave our dreams we ask you t0 keep t hem alive." then six maie members of our choir sang, "Have a liff le talk with Jesus" which was very fine accompanied by Mrs. Heleni Wood -'at the piano. In bis anniversary ser- mon Rev. Bryan Ransom referred f0 the dream the~ pioneers had of a church in 1870. It was fo be a Methodisf church. The founder of Methodism was John Wesley, a missionary refumning on board ship from America when his Christian faith was deepened. He resolved that Christian faith must be combined witb social action. So he preached to miners and facfory men everywhere in open air gafberings or in large halls to repent and be bapfized and live by the rules laid down 50 fhey were namned MIethodists.

Several from fhe Kendal area attended the funeral of Mrs. Florence Wright on Fi- day aftemnoon from the Nor- thcutt Funerai Parlour. Mrs. Wright was in ber ninety- fourth year. She bias beurn a patient in Brampton Nursing Home for a number of years. She was left a widow at an early age and raised ber fami- ly of four in Kendal Village. Jennie was the oldest and is now Mrs. Len Fali living on their farm southeast of our village. Willis unfortunately had a stroke a year ago and is unable to talk since. He and his wife were at the funeral parlour. Annie married Herbert Lawrence they make their home in Belleville. We were pleased to have Annie at our Anniversary. Walter served overseas in the Second World War. We enjoyed talking to him and meeting his son. Botb brothers and their families live in Wood- bridge. Kendal bazaar i s November 9th and when we think of bazaars we plan to make pies on these paper plates we buy covered with aluminum foul. Unfortunate- ly they are very poor conduc- tors of heat s0 we must put the bottomn crust in the bot oven for 10 minutes to cook. Then add the pumpkin filling or sliced apples and sugar. If we want a top crust drop it on it. It will rise up and down and no apple juice will run out. None of us want to be a dough bake. Use small pie pumpkins for good pies. Large ones are coarse. Song of the Lazy Farmer By far the greatest of the crimes comnmitted in these modemn tîmes is the concoc- tion some folks try to pass off as pumpkin pie. 1 think that it's a crying shame the way Most cooks have helped defame the greatest dish devised by mani. The loafers open up a can and out of it they dare f0 scoop some evil- looking, tasteless goop; they plop if in a soggy crust and then before it's served they must pile whipped cream on two inches thick so that their victims won't get sick when they force down an extra bite or two just so they'll be polite. Thank goodness 1 don't get that swill 'cause good old Jane Mirandy still knows how to make the real thing and loves to do it, too, by jing. She doesn't have a can in sight when she starts ouf fo do if righit; 1 bring a pumpkîn from the field and theri, somehow she makes if yield a tantalizing golden meaf, the faste of which jusf can't be beat, especially wheni it's mix- ed up good with lots of spices like it should, then baked just right in flaky crust, 1 eat 50 much 1 almost bust. When if cornes time for me to die, 1 hope I'm filled wif h Pumpkin pie. The following clipping bas b),en saved from the early fif- ties recalling- The Sinking of the Titanic at the fime of Se- cond Officer Charles Lightoller's deatb. Cmdr. Charles Herbert Lighfoller died here foday at the age of 78, still haunted by the memnory of one of the greatesf tragedies of the sea. For Cmdr. Lightoller was the only officer to survive the sinking of the Titanic-. The "unsinkable" Titanic cent of th3 UN's annual cost, or roughly $ 11 million million. What disturbs me most about these hare-brained suggestions is that they give aid and comfort to ail those elements in the western alliance which have con- cluded, not without some justification, that the UN is a crock. .If what Libya and some other nations want is a UN without the United States, then this is the right way to go about it. And a UN without the United States would be even more ineffectual than the UN was without the real China, whether we like what that China stands for or not. bit an iceberg off New- foundland just before mid- night Apiil1-1, 1912, and went down wif h a lu--, of more than 1,500 lives. Lightoller was second of- ficer of the liner at the time of the disaster. He retired in 1923. He cameback to the sea briefly during the Second World War. Wîtb his 60-foot launch he evacuated 130 men from the beaches at Dunkirk under constant enemy bomb- ing and 'strafing. With close friends he would talk over bis last hours aboard the Titanic. "It was just luck that I lived f hrough," he would say. Lightoller was in bis bunk on the bitter cold nighf when the Titanic struck. When be felt the shuddering jar as the ice ripped througb the luxury iner's plates, he ran on deck but coùuld see nothing, hear nofhing. Describing it later, he said there was little pantic. No one had to be fought back from the boats, except a crowd of Central European migrants who rushed up, terror- stricken, from tbe steerage. An officer fired a pistol over their heads and they calm ed down. The band, which had been playing dance music in the main ballroom of the 46,329-ton ship, eventually came up oni deck and played Nearer, My God, To Tbee wbile men and women in evening dress stood by and sang the words of the hymn. Men stood aside for their women and children to get in- to the boats. Some younig couples stood quietly waiting for the end. One young woman with hier husband turned to Lightoller, he remembered, and said, -We started on this fogether and will finish fogether." Lightoller was busy getting the bous away and found tbey could hold less than haîf the 2,200 people aboard., When the ship began to plunge, he plunged off a deckhouse into the icy water below, filled with sfruggling men and women.. A wave sent up by the crasb of one of the liner's funnels washed him clear of the vortex of the siniking sbîp. He clambered on a r- tumned, waferlogged boat and hung on grimnly until the Car- patbia, sumnmoned by the frantic SOS flashes of the radioman who stâyed at bis fransmitter, arrived and pick- ed up the survivors. 0f the 2,200 persons who sailed aboard the luxurious Titanic, 711 survived the sinking.
