t 2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 1st, 19&1 ©rono Eleeblp Stmes Second Clgss Ma il Registration Number 000368 • Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor * TRUDEAU AND HlS CHALLENGE The editorial in last Week's Times outlined the great lack of concern in our dealings with the Third World and the lack of concern we exercise or express in these dealings. People ;bf the Third World are used for profit at any cost to them. Pierre Trudeau recognizes this indifference and other inequalities which do exist between the poor and the rich and over the past year has been attempting to have the World leaders meeting in Quebec in July to discuss the issue. No matter what one may think of Canada's leader he must be recognized as having some compassion for the downtrodden. His efforts to have the world leaders consider the North-South issué has taken him to many parts of the globe in an endeavour to gain support for his concerns. Even a modest break-through would be a gigantic gigantic accomplishment in bettering the fate of the Third World. There must be a, beginning and it must come soon. We cannot continue to sit in our comfortable nest while others are used as pawns. Trudeau is on the right course and his efforts need our support. If some achievement can be made to this end Trudeau could take a notable place in history for this act alone. . WHAT MORE CAN BE SAID Terry Fox through his courage, determination and generosity has touched the hearts of all Canadians and eVen those beyond the Canadian borders. This 22-year old Port Coquitlam ydung man has been on the lips of all from the country street corner to the House of Parliament and even in political circles outside this country. His impact has been tremendous and all are to benefit. • Besides the raising of over $23 million, and more to come, he has raised our hopes and standards of excellence, excellence, he has given of himself that others might benefit, the greatest gift that man can give. Early last July Terry Fox passed along Highway 115 just east of Orono in his Marathon of Hope which was at that time gaining momentum with the general public. He was greeted with inspiration in Oshawa and then a couple days following Metro Toronto poured out its heart to this young man in his solo endeavour. We had the opportunity to watch Terry make his way along Highway 115 for a short distance and was able to pass on words of encoüragement. It left us with a feeling of admiration for this young man and to say the least a lump in the throat. The praise of Terry Fox has been said over and over since his death on Sunday. He certainly has left a shining legacy of hope. • * INTEREST EBBS» FOR LACAC In a letter to the Town of Newcastle council by Pat Irwin, Orono, public relations person, with LACAC points out that a public meeting Was called by. the association for June 10th at which two persons showed up, Pat Irwin and Counct Taylor.

The hot water tank leaked and the landlord wouldn't repair it s she had no hot water to bathv. the children. What should she do? She dressed in a white dress , that might pass for a hospital employee's uniform, took the two children across the street and bathed the children putting each in a cot. Then she helped make beds, mopped floors, anything that needed doing. At noon she helped feed the children. This went on day after day. Then one, day all the help were • herded into a big utility room and given the needle for some contagious disease. Then she said the fat was in the fire. She must tell who she was and what her work was. The other ladies told the boss what a good worker she was, So-she'was taken on the staff because another lady was' leaving.
