\ Orono Couple Celebrates Bicentennial '■ Your hand madame? Dorothy and Len Guy of Orono are pictured here demonstrating their home-made Bicentennial costumes which they have worn in parades across the province. by Catherine Denny ■ At a glance you would think that they had just walked out of a story-book, two elegant creatures reincarnated reincarnated from yesteryear. In fact, even when seen up close, it's hard to imagine that the tiny woman in the French-style court dress and her handsome man in late-Georgian attire, can usually be seen wearing the latest in 21st Century fashion. fashion. Their costumes and mannerisms mannerisms are so impeccable and authentic that even the best of historians would find it difficult believing that this gentleman and lady were anything but 18 Century characters. This is not the first time that Orono residents Len and Dorothy Guy have masqueraded masqueraded as other people.

Police said' the vehicle appeared to have been travelling at a high rate of speed when it struck a driveway culvert, flipped, and landed on its roof. The driver of the truck had left the scene, but there was evidence that he had been injured in the mishap. The registered owner of the vehicle was an Oshawa resident. * Time of the accident was shortly after midnight. rans, and costume party lovers, lovers, dressing-up was a common common event for the Guys. However, as of late, the local couple have been spending more time dressed dressed in thier old-fashioned garb then they have in their everyday clothing. It all started last June when the two perfectionists researched and designed authentic bicentennial clothing to wear to a masquerade masquerade ball 'held at the Newcastle Town Hall. Three weeks and $200 dollars dollars later, the costumes were finally completed. Although they did receive some assistance ' from Lynne Cunningham of the United Empire Loyalists Association, and they had researched the costumes of latter-day extensively in various books, most of the pattern designs were- original original Guy creations. "We were going to rent, costumes, but they would have cost us close to $100 each per day, so we figured we'd make our own and get all the use we could out of them." explained Mrs. Guy. And they certainly got their use out of them. Ever since the old-fashioned ball in June, the couple have been spending all of their weekends making appearances appearances at fairs, parades, and celebrations - adding bicentennial bicentennial spirit to even the smallest event. Locating the bicentennial celebrations across the province province was made easy through the publication of an information booklet supplied by the Ontario gov ernment. "Every weekend we look down the list of events taking place in the province, and from there we choose where we want to go," said Len. The Guy's first public appearance appearance was made during the Canada Day celebrations celebrations at Port Darlington Marina on July 1st. Since that time they have walked in parades from St. Catharines to Keene to Fredricksberg to Marmara. Noboby has ever asked Len and Dorothy to enter in their parades, in fact most bicentennical organizers haven't even heard of them. But the welcome they receive receive when they get there is always heart-warming. "There's no telling where we'll show up. Sometimes we enter the very large parades and sometimes the extremely small ones," explained Dorothy, adding that "both rural and big-city parades appreciate our enthusiasm enthusiasm and effort." The Guys went on to say that more and more people are beginning to recognize them as the couple who was in the. St. Catharine's parade, or the Marmara parade. "We love doing this so much that we're going to continue visiting different cities and towns right up until Christmas," said Len Guy. In fact the only regret that Len and Dorothy have about displaying their home-made . costumes across the province is the fact that they didn't think of doing it sooner.

Cliff Pilkey Speaks to Rotary Rotary Club President A1 Strike (right) welcomes Cliff Pilkey to the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club during a meeting held Thursday, August 30. In keeping with a Labor Day theme, the president of the Ontario Federation of Labor discussed the need for co-operation between labor and management management in today's economy. Mr. Pilkey is a former UAW leader and a former representative of the Oshawa riding in the provincial legislature. The head of the Ontario Federation of Labor says it's up to government and management to head off confrontations between employers and employees. "I have no doubt the two sides can resolve their differences differences in terms of poor management-labour relations relations in this province. But I have to say the ball isn't in our court," said Clifford Pilkey. Pilkey. Mr. Pilkey, who was speaking to members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club last month, said: "We have to see some genuine commitment commitment and real change on the part of management and government before progress progress can be made." "Confrontation was not our choice. It was our only alternative," he added. In a Labor Day address at last week's Bowmanville Rotary Club, Mr. Pilkey stated that in the current system there are no alternatives alternatives to confrontation between between management and labor. "The distribution of power is so uneven, the biggest group of people in this country have the weakest voice." "Working people do not have control over or input into the system in proportion proportion to the effect or control the system has over them." This atmosphere only encourages encourages animosity between between the two groups, the Federation president added. As an alternative, he called for respect and candidness candidness between the two groups. "Employers will have to recognize that workers have as much to do with the creation of wealth as does capital. Governments must recognize the right of all to a job and must intervene in the economy to make that possible. Both government and business must recognize recognize that labor democratically democratically represents the interests interests of working people and must be treated fairly," said Mr. Pilkey in his remarks remarks to Bowmanville Rotarians. He spoke to the club at a lunch hour meeting held at the Flying Dutchman Hotel Thursday, August 30. He noted that in Sweden, the trade union movement has been an "equal partner" partner" in economic planning and management. In West Germany, workers are represented represented on the boards of most large firms and company company books are open to employees. employees. Layoff legislation in the country is stronger there than here, and work councils have input into workplace operations. Labor and management strife is also absent in Japan due to the benefits provided by Japanese management management to its employees. "When Canadian employers employers start guaranteeing lifetime employment, offering offering mortgage assistance and encouraging workers to participate in the operation of their plants, we may well see a decline in the confrontation confrontation factor," Mr. Pilkey assured assured Rotarians. Mr. Pilkey stated that relationships relationships between employees employees and employers will improve in Canada if management management understands that unions are here to stay and that they have an important role to play. In addition, the labor leader noted that employees employees must be treated with respect respect due to an integral and indispensable part of the production process. Labor laws must provide free collective bargaining between management and labor, Mr. Pilkey added. "Lastly, the business and media campaign against workers and the labor movement must stop. All of us in this room know the ills of the Canadian economy are not the fault of the workers," workers," he said, "so let's stop telling the public they are. It is impossible to avoid confrontation when one of the main players is trying to destroy the other," Mr. Pilkey told his audience audience that co-operation and democracy in the workplace workplace is not an optional choice. "Trade unionists are ready to work with management management and government to improve improve the lives of working people, but not on their terms which have historically historically downplayed the role of labor."
