- V.;. •- . 2-Orono Weekly Times» Wednesday» August. 11th, 1976 Grono Week lu 'Cimes TAGING UP TO REALITY There has been a fair amount of criticism directed to . the Ontario Provincial government over their action towards arenas throughout the province and in the Orono area where the local ice palace appears to have had its day. Engineering reports note the building as unsafe for public use and gives no indication that the problem can be corrected within logical means. The Ministry of Labour has given the order that the building must be locked until conditions exist that would abide by existing codes to allow it to be open for public use. The province has been patient with local authorities over public buildings and especially arenas. As early as 1970 they have requested that certain studies be undertaken to ascertain the safety of these buildings. It is a responsibility of the province that such buildings are safe as it is also the responsibility of the owners of the buildings. The province can do no less than assure a person when he or she enters a building it is safe. Many authorities have disregarded thé wishes of the province with the result that the province had to take definite action. This it has done and the result throughout the province has been shocking as to the number of arenas that have been found unsafe. The Orono building is no expeption. It is understood from a reliable source that letters were received by the local Athletic Association but were disregarded with no action being taken. Posssibly other groups were notified with similar non-action resulting. The Town of Newcastle acted with responsibility when they included the Orono arena in their list for inspection even though they do not hold ownership to the building. There js no doubt that the Fair Board and the Athletic likewise have a problem facing them in both promoting the annual fair less than a month away and the winter sports program. These obstacles may well be overcome on a temporary basis. But it is not only these two groups and those they service who have problems. The Town of Newcastle have yet* to receive the final reports on the Newcastle Village and Bowmanville arena. These reports expected shortly could well, if rumors are correct, present them with an overwhelming problem. This community is not alone for the same' condition does exist all across the province and it has been reported that even Ops arena, no more than two years old has been condemned. ' FOOD RESERVES FOR THE WORLD The concept of a world food bank is not new. It has been proposed at regular intervals bÿ United' Nation officials, agriculturalists, politicians and church leaders. Now a leading Canadian poultry breeder, Donald M. Shaver of Cambridge, says such a world food bank*would be a global* insurance 'against hunger. Every country should first maintain agreed minimum levels of food in stock to insure against national shortages. An additional quantity, Says Shaver, would be set aside for disaster relief, and a third reserve would be kept to feed the hungry around the world. . The richer countries would have to help pay for building up stocks in poor nations. The idea is indeed an admirable one and should be pursued by the great powers,; and by international organizations such as ■ the" United Nations, tne Food and Agricultural Organizations, the World Health Organization, the World Bank and other bodies. 1 But .it must be remembered always that countless difficulties stand in the, way - ranging from national and individual greed in the affluent countries to indifference and corruption among leaders in the poor nations. , Quite apart from that, the intrnational community must not only face up to but solve the serious transportation and storage diificulties that exist. Stored food spoils easily, especially in lands where refrigeration is a luxury and where storehouses let in both rain and vermin. Yet in the end what should be said is this : The concept of a world food bank is a lofty ideal, and one that will be realized when the people of all nations exercise their .political will to work together towards the betterment of mankind. The difficulties exist merely to be overcome. The arth, after all, produces the riches that feed humanity. Even India, with its impoverished millions, announced recently that it had achieved an estimated grain output of 116 million tons. In the city of Rapipour, a former princely state, palaces have been converted to grain stores. Wheat and rice are stored in temples throughout India. The earth pourts out its food throughout the year. Itte man who too often squanders and hoards it. The world food bank should be given much,thought by all. For to this day, there remain tço many millions who still go hungry all their lives.
