4--Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 26th. J97S Kirby NCWS Kendal News A small skiff of snow fell in the night turning the new ploughing and the barn roofs white, while the lawns and the fields of fall wheat are an emerald green what a picture at the end of November. Farmers are still doing fall ploughing. On Wednesday Nov. 19 a bus load from Kendal, Kirby and Orono went to the Winter Fair. We were especially interested in the exotic breeds of cattle. The Murray Grey cattle from Australia were such large fine built animals. Named Murray after the Murray River and Grey because of their colour. Great carcasses of beef were hung up on hooks. We were told that they were from Charolais cattle. We watched twenty girls lead their lambs around the show ring. The lambs were of several different breeds. The first prize winner was a "black" sheep and I believe it was from Black- stock. The second prize lamb was a Southdown. They were so well trained by four H girls that led them.

Another said she couldn't afford to telephone her parents in Holland. Some sent letters to the states with people that were crossing the border and mailed them even to England from U.S. cities. However all agreed that Bryce Mackasey the post master general was doing the right thing in not giving in to their demands. If he gives in we will just have several more strikes. When one per cent of the people can cause so much trouble to all the people of Canada a better method than strikes must be found. Lunch was provided by Mrs. Wm. Hoy and Mrs. G. Cathcart.

This is what Ontario is doing to help solve them in advance. Recently arrangements were made for a group of Indian children to attend the public school in a northern Ontario tow,.. The principal of the school in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough time at the hands of other students, and to try to forestall this kind of situation, he called in a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk to the other children. The counsellor asked the children if any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they arrived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community counselling is one„of the major roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and discussions discussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve tension tension and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings of immigrants and native-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the legislation and their responsibilities as citizens of this Province. We also help bring people into contact with local'agencies like home-and-school groups, community and government agencies, agencies, and, churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's-a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and respect for the other's point of view. Our job is to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships among allgroups.
