A list of the schools and industries will be published before the program begins. Dr. Watt said 100,000 doses have been ordered for the region, and he expects-80 per cent of the eligible persons to attend the clinics. There are three categories of eligible persons: over 65, between 20 and 50, and workers in essential services. In addition to being vaccinated vaccinated against the swine flu, those over 65 will be vaccinated vaccinated at the same time against the Victoria flu virus.

The under 20s are not being vaccinated because of the fear of a reaction to the vaccine. Dr. Watt said any person with a dibilitating or chronic condition - such as a respiratory respiratory disease - would be vaccinated regardless of age. The vaccine, which will be given either by a syringe or a rapid pedo-jet will be administered administered by nurses and doctors working through the health unit.

Restraints phase out dinner Spending restraints and inflationary costs have dealt a blow to an annual event held in the past by the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education. It has been a ■policy of the Board to hold an annual dinner meeting with all new teaçhers to the areas schools to acquaint them with the board. The dinner, has been ruled out this year due to costs and an overall attempt to cut school costs. This year there is to be 54 new faces heading the various classrooms throughout the area. This number of new teachers is considerably less than in former years according according to a brief recently presented to a meeting of the board. Last Wednesday evening Mr. Doug Finder of Pindei 1 Construction was in' the Village for the formal turning on of the tennis court and bail park lighting system. A handful from the Chamber were present for this occasion. occasion. ' The hew lighting system certainly trasforms the Orono Park into, a well-lighted facility for evening sporting events. The lights over the tennis court are a decided improvement and have reduced reduced glare to a minimum for those wishing to play during the evening hours. The ball lights appear most adequate for soft ball or fast ball and according to Mr. Finder are adequate for hardball. He pointed out on Wednesday evening that such a system was • successfully used in other areas such as Sunderland. A few balls were knocked into the air and werè in Constant sight throughout their, flight into the outfield. Mr,. Finder points out that some of the outfield lights are directed in a line above the standards to achieve this end. The lights are also considered considered more than adequate for soccer which could be and has been played at the south end of the park playing field. Some sceptics still want to see a hardball game planned for the park to be played during the evening under the new lights. The total project has been sponsored by the Orono Chamber of Commerce with » one of the largest financial contributors to this point being the Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen Club as well as the Chamber itself. Money for the lights is also being raised through a draw for a Morgan Mare as well as the annual beef barbecue. Council must spear Lyall optomistic can head action - Mayor keep Eldorado out Counc.
