Forrester, Editor SALT DOME MAY COME TO CONCLUSION ■ For the past year consideration has been given for the construction of a salt and sand dome at the Town's Public Works yard north of Orono. The discussion arose when the Ministry of the Environment ribted seepage of an amount of salt into the Orono water supply at the north of the Village. The Ministry has recommended that the storage of salt and sand at the Public Works yard be covered and that the Province also come forth with a solution to divert drainage from Highway 115, also considered a source of salt pollution to the local water supply. Although no definite action has been taken by the Town to correct the existing, condition discussions have centred around the problem to the extent that monies have been placed in a supplementary public works budget for a solution. Consideration has been given to moving the salt and sand storage out of the Orono works yard and this would certainly solve the problem. Jack Dunham, Director of Public Works, speaks of centralization as the most logical solution. It would be an expensive project to cover a number of storage piles rather than one. It was a recommendation of the Town's Roads Needs Study that centralization be carried out for the department. To this'date this has not happened nor indeed has there been any indication of such a move. A salt dome next to the residential area in north Orono would not be a thing of beauty nor would it enhance the residential area in any way. ' The only satisfactory solution to clear up the salt problem with the Orono water supply and as far as the esthetics are concerned is the elimination of sand and salt storage at the Orono Public Works depot. Surely this can be resolved with a minimum of ease even at this time by using other Supplies of sand and salt. CHAIN LINK FENCE FOR ORONO CEMETERY Preparations are underway to construct a chain-link fence along a portion of the northern boundary of the Orono Cemetery and a portion of the western boundary this year. The Board is intending to, over the ttèxt couple of years, completely fence the premises both on the north, west and east side with chain-link fencing. "The project will be completed as funds become available. At the present time trees are being cut along the north boundary which are' giving way to the new fence. Council of the Town of Newcastle recently gave approval to include in their annual budget a sum of $5,000 for the Orono Cemetery in 198,1. • ORONO NOVICE HOCKEY TOURNAMENT A Novice Hockey Tournament is being held at the Orono Arena this Friday with Orono and other nearby centres in competition.

General Meeting Ladies from all five units of Orono U.C.W. were present at the General Meeting, held in .the Main Hall at the church on Thursday evening, March ,19th. ' * President, Mrs. O. Challice, welcomed everyone, and opened the meeting with a spring poem. Unit 4 was in charge of the Devotional. The Meditation, "Four Roads", was given by Doreen Wood. The Damascus Road is the road of spiritual awakening. In the 9th chapter of Acts, Paul had this experience - where he ceased to be the enemy of the Christian Church and became the outstanding missionary of all time. Faith in Christ is essential. The Damascus Road is one that we all must travel. 2. The Jericho Road (Luke 10) is the road of service and inevitably leads off the Damascus Road. You cannot travel the first without being led into the second. The Jericho Road means service and sacrifice and to walk it we all heed love and compassion. compassion. 3. The "Via Dolorosa", the road where Christ carried his heavy cross on his back, is a road we also must walk. Sooner or later, we are forced in life, to carry our cross. This is a difficult road and one that none of us would choose, but 11 can be a real factor in helping us to grow spiritually. We discover that God is walking oh that road with us and His reinforcing presence provides us with the grace we need. 4. The Emmaus Road is the road that is illumined by the divine presence (Luke 24). As two followers of Christ journeyed journeyed from Jerusalem to Emmaus on the evening of that first Easter Day they became conscious of a presence presence in their midst. The sense of Christ's abiding present had come to them in all its quickening and transforming transforming power. This is the most wonderful road of all. It is the reward of those who faithfully walk the other three. Lois Brown read, "In His Steps", after which everyone joined in singing Hymn 87, "There Is a Green Hill Far Away". A poem "Christ Among the Crowds" was given by Lois, and Doreen brought "Easter Beatitudes". 'Offering was received and dedicated with prayer.

Ladies of Unit 5 served a delicious lunch. Kendal News There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all. This hymn was written by Mrs. Cecil Frances- Alexander, Alexander, an Irish lady with a lifelong devotion to children. On Sunday the second day of spring it was quite springlike. springlike. There was a good attendance at church. The Sunday School pupils were busy preparing for the "Talent "Talent Night", which will be held m Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the Sunday School room, March 28th. Lunch will be served. Rev. A. Tizzard based the children's story on the "school slate". The scripture reading was St. John's 12:27-43. This was the third sermon of Lent, the topic was, "Â New Cause". In verse 27, "For this cause came I unto this hour". It was the cause of a king. In fcerse 42, " Among the chief rulers of the Jews many believed on Him". The Greeks also Came and followed Him. Jesus had become famous. Today people reach the headlines for a time then are forgotten. The followers of Jesus have increased increased in numbers, his fame never waned or grew less. The people longed for a new kingdom. But Jesus talked of a new kingdom of love, peace and truth. It became a missionary cause. Perhaps we canriot preach like Paul but sometimes there are those close by that need to hear the good news of Christ and his kingdom of love. He came that we might reach out to those around qs. Some' force themselves out by unbelief. Joshua said, make a choice, "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve' '. He died to include us all. He came for the cause of the. kingdom. He died for the cause of the kingdom. He arose for the cause of the kingdom. Wç rejoice today because we are members of that kingdom. A kingdom of love and light.
