2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 10th, 1980 ©rono ®HeeMp Stmts Second Class Mall Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy ,C. Forrester, Editor back about a month The Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association periodically periodically sends out an exchange sheet on which are reprinted editorials of note in the weekly press. The latest exchange sheet referred to Remembrance Day observed on November 11th and the reprints do provide a number of viewpoints from local editors across Ontario. . The Exchange sheet did jog our memory of local observance of Remembrance Day in Orono and especially as to the program undertaken at the Orono and Lockharts Public Schools. There was a real effort on the part of schools and their staff to convey some of the meaning of Remembrance Day and to involve local citizens of the community who had taken part in past wars. Certainly the Orono-Lockharts programs were commendable and must have departed to the students the significance of this special day which should rank as one of the most significant throughout the year. Such programs have a much greater impact for the students than giving a half or full-day school holiday which existed for a couple of years in the past. Such holidays are only an excuse for a day off or a 'cheap' holiday rather than being a time to pay tribute to those who left their homes, families and futures to fight for our future. The Cambridge Times states it is extremely difficult to reconcile why banks, post-offices and all government offices require a day off work on this special occasion. Has this over the years created a greater meaning of Remembrance Day for the worker^ in these professions and offices? Likely not. The Orono Public School and of course the local Legion are to be commended in their efforts to continue the observance of this day with its full meaning and it does not require the necessity of a holiday from work, . WHAT OTHERS SAY - THE OSHAWA TIMES WHY BAR FOREIGN WORKERS? Bar foreign automobiles. Bar foreign directors. Bar immigrant tradesmen. Barring people and products from Canada seems to be a pursuit common to many groups representing Canadian workers. Officials of the United Auto Workers had urged governments to ban importation of foreign vehicles, so that more Canadian workers would be able to find jobs. Those people argued that with the foreign, fuel-efficient vehicles off the market, Canadians would be forced- to purchase North- American made cars and thus more workers would be needed. Mayors in automotive cities and chambers of commerce, including Qshawa, took a different approach in starting a campaign to "Buy the Cars Your Neighbors Help to Build", encouraging Canadians to buy domestic automobiles. Canadian Actors' Equity was up in arms because the Stratford Festival Board of Management had the audacity to try to hire John Dexter, a B.ritish director, to replace the retiring Robin Phillips. The actors' gropp said a Canadian must be hired or they would boycott the 1981 season. They didn't consider Dexter's international reputation 1 Or his potential for attracting international stars, but simply considered his birth certificate. Now the Canadian executive board of the AFL-CIO Building Trades Department, which represents 400,000 building tradesmen in Canada wants a ban against the use of imtnigrant labor to fill, skilled jobs in the construction industry. The submission says that when 100,000 construction workers are unemployed it is distressing that immigrants are allowed to work in Canada. The organization, says apprenticeship and retraining workers displaced from other industries should make it unnecessary to import workers in^ the foreseeable future. . ' • • But is there a conspiracy among Canadian employers to ignore Canadian workers totally and being in foreigners? If so, what is the reason for this conspiracy? One might look to the hiring of Vietnamese immigrants as worm pickers in Durham where many Canadians wouldn't do the job. Before proposing bans on immigrant workers, the organization should answer the fundamental question of why immigrant workers are more desirable than Canadians?

Martin Luther King's Funeral. Sunday was a rainy day but the Sunday School pupils came at 10 a.m. and practiced before church, brought their lunch, and practiced in the afternoon for the Christmas' program next Sunday morning morning at 11:15 a.m. when they will conduct the service. This will be followed by a pot- luck dinner to which everyone is invited. On November 9th when the children celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Sunday School as well as Remembrance Day, this writer writer went out to tell the teachers how much we enjoyed the fine program. "Yes", one teacher said, "there was just one disappointing thing, so few of the parents bothered to come." Now if these busy teachers can come from Toronto and NewtonVille to teach and train your children surely parents could spare one hour next Sunday morning morning to listen. On Sunday, Rolf Hellebust led in the introductory part of the service. Then nine girls sang, "Holy Night", accompanied accompanied by Mrs. K. Wood. Then Glen Foster and Billy Greenwood took part in the Lighting of the Second Avent Candle. Glen told us that the second Advent candle made us think of Christ, the Light of the World. The scripture reading was St. John 3:1-16. Rev. A. Tizzard entitled his sermon, "Interested". Interest in people. Nicodemus was interested interested in Jesus. He wanted to know more about Jesus and Letter to Editor I wish to thank you for providing space for the following following message to your readers who are residents of the Region of Durham. Since July 1973, it has been my • privilege to serve the Council of the Regional Municipality Municipality of Durham as its Chairman. ■ " During the time spent in that office, it has been my opportunity and pleasure to do many things. I have been part of the team that helped restructure local government in this particular part of Ontario that hopefully will serve its residents well today and in the future. I know some of you who read this are finding this change somewhat difficult to understand and accept. I am convinced that change had to come becausè we do not stand still. We pither change and v ui nte. So he came to him at night when they could talk without inter- uptions from the crowds that surrounded Him in the day time. Jesus told Nicodemus that God was not willing that any should perish so he sent me to tell them of God's love. Jesus showed a great interest in people. He calmed the sea when they were afraid. He even brought a dead man back to life to comfort the sisters Mary and Martha and gave their brother a few more years to serve others. He fed the crowd on the sea shore. But one day they took him out to the hillside and nailed him to a cross. He took an interest in people even on the cross. We all have our different interests. We think of our interest in the church. We are interested in material things also the only sad thing is when people get so interested in material things that they forget the church. The Good Shepherd giveth _ his life for us. God sent his son because of his interest in us. . May we show some of his interest in others. The neighbourhood was shocked to hear of the sudden death of Mr. Argus Curtis on Sunday morning, December 7th. He was fifty-seven years of age. Sympathy is extended to his wife Jean and to his sons David and Alex and daughter Brenda. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Edith Gordon Gordon and Mrs. Violet Sutcliffe. The Kendal United Church Womem met at the home of Mrs. Keith Wood for their Christmas meeting which began with a pot luck dinner on Wednesday, December 3rd, the coldest morning of the year. There were nine present. After a wonderful dinner, Miss Stewart opened the meeting with the singing of carols. Mrs. E. Foster read the scripture Luke 2:1-20. This was followed by prayer by Miss C. Stewart, thinking especially of- those who are suffering from the earthquake earthquake in Southern Italy. The roll call was, "Memories of childhood Christmases". The adjust to growth and technology; technology; or we stagnate, watch poor planning, no planning and lack of concern take the inevitable step of falling behind. I have spent considerable •time in explaining this preterit preterit structure to those who have shown an interest. I have learned a great deal about the different lifestyles and ambitions of people from different vocations and geographic geographic areas. I have learned about the dedication of many groups of individuals. I know of the energies put forth by church organizations, school organizations and those who are interested . 'in assisting children and adults who for some reason are not able to enjoy all of the things that so many of us take for granted. I have said on many occasions that there are certain services we can legislate; there are other services you can buy; but there are other sendees provided by some individuals and groups who have a personal interest and desire, and provide a very special tÿpe of attention that cannot minutes were read and the financial report given. The business of the year was discussed and several dec- isioris made. The same ladies will continue in their offices for 1981. The meeting closed with the mispha benediction and everyone hurried home before the cold settled in. Some ladies had stock to care for before dark.
