, 2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 9th, 1980 WHO STOPS THE SNOWBALL ROLLING? The effects of a recession in this country must be similar to that of a snowball rolling down a hill during a mild day when the snowball becomes larger and larger and in the meantime picks up momentum. Mid-year reports on the current recession show the effects have been deeper and broader than anticipated at the beginning of 1980. It has been customary to attribute the 1980 recession to a slump in the automotive industry and in the housing It has been customary to attribute the 1980 recession to a slump in the automotive industry and in the housing market. It does not however stop here. As the auto industry slows down so does the parts industry, the steel industry, the transportation industry and even the mining industry. It has a snowball effect for it gets larger and larger and affects more and more individuals. The same is true of the housing industry for it is not only the carpenter, or the plumber or the cement man that is effected but reaches out to the lumber industry and a host of, other related industries which provide the labour force with work to supply the housing industry. The growing snowball diminished and reduces the market place through unemployment. Certainly the unemployed are not about to create a market for the slumping industries ând with those Canadians that have been putting more in the bank from week to week as a future buffer one begins to wonder how the recession turns around. Surely it must bë through purchasing power and that can only be obtained through greater employment. But the snowball is going down hill and we continue to ask more and more through greater demands in wages and revenues putting the end product further out of reach. One may ask: "Who will stop the snowball rolling?". WHAT OTHERS SAY- From the Oshawa Times BOOZE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR? The provioncial government has offered the 5000 . employees of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) a 21 percent pay increase over two years. And A1 Edmunds of the Ontario Liquor Boards Employees Union says he expects his members to ratify the agreement. Since legislation prohibits liquor board employees from striking they will likely ratify the contract. This whole negotiation process and the wage proposal leads us to the question whether the sale of liquor might be handled better by the private sector. In the United States, , private outlets sell liquor and beer. And in Quebec cider and beer are available in storés. If there was such a system in Ontario the government wouldn't have to worry about negotiating salaries with liquor workers. Private enterprise would have those kinds of worries. And such a system might aHow consumers to have access to a wider variety of prices. Certain brands of liquor are available only at one price under the existing system. If four or five outlets handled tÿe same product competition might make prices more competitive. Liquor taxes provide a great deal o/ revenue to the ' provincial government and that, could still be obtained through the private outlets. And the government's handling of liquor and beer sales does not in any way control consumption. For now the government will have to deal with the liquor control board workers and their contract demands. But we do hope the government will give seiious'. consideration to permitting private enterprise to sell liquor and beer. ' AWAITING WORD FROM GEORGE ASHE Counc. Keith Barr informs us that he is awaiting word from George Ashe, M.P.P., Ajax*Pickering and Parliamentary Parliamentary Assistant to t'he Ontario Minister of Energy, regarding any possible action the Town may take to correct the situation in which Orono and Newcastle may lose representation on the Town of Newcastle Hydro Commission. It had been intended that both Orono and Newcastle would have one representative each on the Commission. However when council called that the Commission position would be filled through a vote it opened the election to all the Town of Newcastle. Birr said he is not too hopeful of correcting this situation but if you don't try vou will never succeed. BOARD OF EDUCATION ASKS TOWNS INTENTION The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education has asked the Town of Newcastle their intent as to a joint library service to be instituted at Courtice High School. A letter to the Town points out that informal Kendal News It's what you do, not what you say, Your watchful children spot. No sermons, please; your kids can see How very good you're not. It's your example shapes young lives, It's how you act each day . . . It's useless saying, "Don't do that," If that's the game you play. I must repeat: It's what you do That makes them love what's good and true. The weatherman tells us {bat we had the coldest June since 1956 with an inch above average rainfall. Farmers who cut their hay in June had difficulty getting it saved. However it was a nerfect June for roses. We are sorry to hear of the great loss of timber north of Thunder Bay an area of prime timber growing for the last thirty years has been wiped out by fire, an area as great as the Province of Prince Edward Island. This was a famed tourist area, movie stars like Clarke Gable used to spend his summers in the Kenora area. In the fall the hunting of deer and moose and the wonderful fishing was unequalled. unequalled. A number from here attended attended the Orange walk in Oshawa last Saturday.

Let us hope the nights become a little warmer as we have had very little good camping weather thus far. Some time ago I told you about the Red Lake children coming south by boat to Hudson and the next day going by truck to Sioux Lookout to see King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. That Sunday afternoon more and more people began to arrive in Sioux Lookout from the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William. There were crowds everywhere. The chance of getting served at any restaurant was hopeless. Our schools marched to the Canadian National Station led by the band from the Anglican Anglican Indian Residential School. The Royal Train arrived about nine p.m. The opening ceremonies were most interesting, a girl presented presented the Queen with a beautiful bouquet, then a very tiny girl gave the king a rose. Then she wanted it back. The King hardly knew what to do so the Queen said, "Put it in the bottom hole of your lapel and that will please her." The Red Lake representative presented presented the King with gold nuggets. Our principal said, "Three cheers for «the little princesses". You should have-, heard those children cheer. We heard afterwards that thé Princesses were listening and of all the tours across Canada the events at Sioux Lookout were heard the best in England. Then the Queen came down and walked among the children. One of my lads said, "The Queen put her hand on my tie, and my heart beat so fast." She went over to the station platform where some young Indian mothers were standing beside their babies in their little papoose carriers; She asked the name of one baby and what the name meant. Soon the great event was over and some very hungry children arrived back in Hudson about eleven p.m. The next day had been declared a school holi- ■ day. 1 St. Saviours ANGLICAN CHURCH Orono, Ontario Regular Sunday Worship Service-10:00 a.m. Rev.

Newcastle Community Care would like to announce the resignation of its co-ordinator, co-ordinator, Mrs. Diane Harare, effective September, 1980. Mrs. Harare has been with Community Care since its inception in October, 1977 and throughout its growing pains of the past few years. In fact, to most clients and volunteers, volunteers, to think of Community Care is to think of Diane and her very personal way of 'Caring' for people's problems. problems. Mrs. Harare recalls the challenge facing Community Care in the beginning when there was just a phone, a desk and an empty room. There was a great deal of organization organization in setting'up volunteer and client files, in keeping accurate records of tasks done for the Ministry of Social Services; and in promoting the program so that it might become well used by Seniors. She comments that the new -co-ordinator'.s challenge will be the màintenace of the existing services that Community Community Care offers as well as the expansion of the program as more Seniors use it and as the Town of Newcastle itself grows larger. As the program grows the office volunteers will be utilized more to ensure the volunteers maintain a high profile in the actual day to day activities of Community Community Care. Diane is going to appreciate the new-found time for herself and her family in the near future. "Long range plans," she says, "are still in the formative stage". She offers a sincere "thankyou" for the opportunity to grow and learn and for the many friends she has made of board members, volunteers and clients. Mrs. Harare hopes that the new co-ordinator will find the job as exciting and as happy as she has. She is glad to have helped Community Care in its infancy and is confident that it will be guided through another stage of growth, to meet the challenge of caring for the compiunity. discussions between the two bodies had been held and the Board of Education was of the understanding that specific monies had been set aside for this plan.
