2-Oroiio. Weekly Times, Wednesday* May 14th, 1980 (Brono OTeeblp Stmt# Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 ' Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication . Main Street, Orono i Roy C: Forrester, Editor AND WHAT IS THE CHANGE? On the evening of May 20th Canadians will learn the results of the referendum vote in the Province of Quebec. No matter what way it goes, what will it mean? ; Both sides in Quebec interpret the question differently and consider it gives the government different mandates. It is certainly not black and white or 'yes' and 'no'. It must be remembered that Rene Levesque came to power with his party in Quebec without any mention of separation or sovereignty-association. Following the election to power this did become the issue in the Province resulting in the referendum being held on May 20th. The issue will not go away following the vote on Tuesday evening if the majority vote 'No'. If the question on the referendum is cloudly also is the elements of the new constitution which all people, outside Quebec, refer to as a necessity in this country. No one has been specific other than there is need for change and this is not even backed up with any tangible fact that the average, person can grasp. If Canadians are to support a new federalism it must be spelt out clearly. At the present time everyone seems to agree and to promote a new form of constitution but that is as far as it goes. It is as vague as the referendum question itself. Unfortunately we see the referendum,vote settling no issue. , Negotiation for a new constitution will result in a battle of ten different viewpoints from the ten provinces and with little concern for an overview of a total Canadian picture. It has been going on for years and from this corner it appears we are no closer today than one hundred years ago and possibly are farther from an accorded change than ever before. Every leader across Canada has voiced a need for change but we are awaiting for the specifics of change to be documented. We also strongly feel that Canada could well prosper under the present system of the constitution if there was a will to make it work in the interest of all Canadians. TO RETAIN TWO-YEAR TERM Tom Wells, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs for the Province of Ontario has issued a communication in that the government of Ontario is to continue with a two-year term for elected members of municipal governments. The communication points out that the province believes that the present two-year term is adequate for all municipal councils to execute their responsibilities and to serve the needs and interests of their constituents. It also points out that the municipal electorate deserve the continued right to evaluate the responsiveness and effectiveness of their local representatives at a reasonable interval. This opinion differs with that of a recent report from the Durham Regional Review* Committee who are asking for a three-year term for municipal and Regional councillors along with other changes fob regional government. The Durham report is to be considered by Regional council pn May 14th. * This corner agrees with the provincial stand for a two year term and supports their reasoning for the decision. . The recommendations by the Region of Durham Review Committee is one of self-supporting. Many of the other recommendations by this committee were equally predictable and would have the effect of weakening the upper-tier Regional level of government. Among their nineteen suggestions the committee would have regional planning returned to the local government along with water and sewage distribution. It has been stated that local municipal governments would be more economical in,,the o'peration of water and sewers. This, of course, could bè questioned and surely it is recognized that the same people sit on Regional council as sit on local municipal governments. It appears a similar story to the provinces wanting • powers beyond that of the federal government. UNITED CHURCH Orono Pastoral Charge Minister Rev. B.E. Long B.Th.

Kendal News Woodrow Wilson said, "There can be no liberal education without a knowledge knowledge of the Bible." George Washington stated: "It is, impossible to rightly govern the world without God or the Bible." Sunday was a perfect May day. There, was a full church for family day. Mrs, Jack Fonk of Woodstock sang as a solo, "Follow the gleam, climb every mountain, ford' every stream, etc." Then the smaller children put on a puppet play of the story of "Daniel". There" were four baptisms at Kendal. They were: Adam Maurice Runions, Gregory Carl Bull, Beverley Eileen Patton, Melanie Michelle Puk. Rev. A. Tizzard Was able to conduct the service himself. He choose as his scripture second Timothy beginning at the third verse of the first Chapter to verse ten. In verse five, "I call to remembrance the faith that dwelt first in thÿ grandmother Lois and thy mother Eunice and I am persuaded in thee also." The faith that was in your grandmother Lois has not changed. This Sunday was first a special day for mother. He spoke of the special love of a mother for her child, even among the lower animals for their offspring. Now we call this Famiy Day. Every day we should be a Christian family. We think of the love that went down to. the very end. A love which enabled Christ to go to the cross. A love that can forgive our enemies. A love that can bring us to that great family reunion with the dear ones who have gone on before. The funeral of Mr. Lome Wannbn of St. Catherines took place in the Lang Memorial Chapel, Orono on Monday, May 12th at 2 o'clock. Lome was born west of Kendal on a farm which is now a Pro- ' vincial park. There were seven children in the Wannon 1 family. Lome and Lloyd were twins. When they started to Kendal school Mr. Ray Rickard Rickard was the teacher and he couldn't tell them apart so he had their mother put different ties tin them. Lome became a sdhool teacher. Married another another teacher Miss Mountjoy and taught various schools including Kirby Public School. Of recent years his health has not been good. Sympathy is extended to the family. , Mrs. K. Dykemtin, Mrs. R. Elliott, Mrs. E. Foster, Mrs. G. Cathcart and Miss Catherine Catherine Stewart attended the District Annual of Durham West Women's Institutes at Nestleton on May 8th. This writer enjoyed the address given by ! our capable and efficient Home Economist Miss L. Caldwell the best. She told of her work with Junior Girls in 4-H Clubs. She sent around a questionaire to find what they wished to learii. The thing they asked for most often was: How to bake using a wood stove. They wanted to know how to light it, clean the pipes, «everything, "because things baked in a -wood stove taste better." This reminded me of the time a dear old lady gave her summer home beside a beautiful lake near Ottawa to be used by girls of the R.C.A.F. for holidays and week-ends. When we arrived there we saw a big sign above the wood cook stove. "The- oven on this stove will not bake. Cook your meals on top of the stove." This notice was signed by our officer, a graduate "Home Economist". Economist". When I awakened the next morning my girl friend was gone. Her bed neatly made. When I went down .stairs she had just finished cleaning a pail of soot from underneath the oven. She was from Saskatchewan. After that it baked perfectly., The United Church Women met at the home of Miss Catherine Stewart on May 7th.
