2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, Avril 4. 1990 Second ClauMail Rtegistration Nunb W068 Need no surprises The former Development Committee 'of the Orono DBIA and the DBIA came to a point of no returfi over pro- cedureon Monday night with the resuit that the Development Commiottee took leave ofthe DBIA and will operate as a separate, independent body. .The whole issue came to light when the Committce was writing letters expressing what could be taken as DBIA spon- sored in matters as to devlopment and as well concerning the possible demolition of the Armouries building for parking. The majority of the DBIA body took exception to the letter writing and the apparent linking DBIA policy with that of the committee. The DBIA at a recent meeting had set parameters for the committee whîch were gencral in scope and accepted at that time. However the committee began operating with specific plans which had flot been reportcd to the- main body for their consideration. No organization necds surprises from their committees especially those that may flot meet the ap- proval of the majority. It is a simple matter of co-operation on the part of al concerned but t h is conscen ious copuld flot be reached and the committee chose to operate independent of the Association. General meetings are held on a monthly basis and it is in this arena that itemns of interest are presented and debated. It is flot done through petitions of selective members. It is interesting that parking always comes to the fore when in the past there has been two studies undertaken by the Town of Newcastle and most recently a study by Procter and Redfern which outlines some changes for improvement but like the thers states no real problems. -A survey taken in late 1989 found peoiple stating they could flot find a parking space in Orono but stili had to be out of their cars to make the comment. Later in the survey it ask- ed, "Where did you park?" In cases it was Park Street or Church Street. I must have been they could flot find a parking space on front street but a space was flot that far away., The Town is complcting a preliminary parking report which is expected to within a month. zlets wait for the report before tearinR the Town, apart.

Prior to the Service Chad Switzcr, led the Hymn sing, which is held thc first Sunday of cach month. AIl en- joy this time of singing, whcn many old favorites arc requcstcd. Glen Foster -announccd that the choir would be singing a medlcy of threc hymns, that wcrc the favourites of Mabel Elliott and Annie Cathcart, these were, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus,-"I" Don't Know About Tomorrow," and "This is thc Day That the Lord Has Picked." They did 'a beautiful job of singing these songs. Prior to the children's story, the Sunday School sang the song, "Kumbia." The children's story was about how April Fools Day got started. Rev. Ransom told about how there used to be two calendars, the Roman and the Grcck, New Ycar's started on January first on the one calendar and on April first on the other calendar. Those that continucd to celebrate New Ycar's on April first wcre calcd April Foots, since New Year's was already past.
