Forrester, Editor V '• ■K J A Great Show The Orono Christmas Shopping Spree promotion promotion under the sponsorship of the Orono Downtown Businessmens Association seems to have caught fire with all participating in the business section. The promotion promotion of the Art, Craft and Antique sale in the Orono Town Hall is possibly one of the best for a number of years in this community. Certainly thé interest is high at the Hall and the items being offered for sale are extremely good and timely as gifts for Christmas. It is certainly quite obvious obvious that there is a lot of talent in the community and when it is brought together the showing is quite impressive impressive and most outstanding. One must give a few bouquets to these crafts people people and artists in this community. The hall has been well decorated and the whole character of the main auditorium has changed completely. completely. It is most Worthwhile just to visit the Show at the hall. But it does not all end there for the Businessmen and the Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen are jointly promoting promoting a Christmas Party Saturday afternoon and here again sonie of the .program is being presented by children from the community and the public school.

Holliday said the letter and request of the petitioners was to clear up misunderstanding created by the publicity in the past month re employees of the public works department. He said the petitioners would like disclosure of all incarnera incarnera resolutions, all action of council to take in the matter matter and a copy of a reply to the letter he was presenting. The letter presented by Holliday suggested the reputation and credibility of the two employées had- been, severly damaged and that the investigations by the police, auditors, Town soiieitorïand staff had not disclosed any reasonable cause for dismissal. The letter also said it was apparent that the investigations investigations had only reveal- gd the advisibijity of changing changing administrative procedures in the Works department and that such findings were not justification for the two in- dividuals. The letter called, for a public statement from the Town of all proceedings of their action including ; 'the- minutes and decisions at all their meetings listing those in attendance. v It also called for the Town to clear the reputation and character of the affected people people by a suitable press release, retracting and by apologizing for council's resolution of suspension. It suggested that the two individuals be reinstated to, their former positions as thé issue goes beyond the two persons involved. involved. The letter pointed out that if the future Town employees could not count on the fairest of treatment when accusations were made against them that morale would suffer resulting in inevitable inevitable inefficiency. The letter suggested that a response be made to Mrs. Alma Lan^maid, R.R. No. 1, Hampton, and that as well a . Suitable press release to clarify the many misunderstandings. Mayor Rickard stated that in-camera discussion is not recorded only the action to be taken. He also said that it had been agreed by council' *to release only the press rejèase under his name as Mayor which was prepared by the Tqwn solicito'r. Mayor Rickard suggested that to release all information would require the sanction of the parties involved (Dunham and Ashton.) - , , / Holliday said he did not .have such documentation from the two parties but felt if council so desired it could Kendal News And lo, the angel of the Lord Came upon them, and the Glory of the Lord shone round about them. St. Luke 2:9 This year the first week of December was very warm, freeze up came the second week when it became very cold. The weatherman tells us that usually December's coldest coldest weather comes before the fifteenth and very often a warm spell after the fifteenth. The shortest day this year will be Dec. 22, when we will have 8 hours, 55 minutes of daylight. On Sunday morning the roads and weather were good so we had a fine turn out for White Gift Sunday. The Sunday School sang an anthem for us and remained remained at the Church till three p.m.practicing their program for next Sunday morning. Then we will have our annual Christmas tree and program followed by a lunch of sandwiches, sandwiches, squares and cookies. Everyone Welcome. We hope to have a full church Dec. 20th, at 11:15 a.m. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as his scripture St. Matt. 2:1-12. Our thoughts go back to the first Christmas. There easily be obtained, Counc. Woodyard also asked if Holliday had documentation from Dunham and Ashton to come forward on their behalf. Holliday said he did not. Woodyard followed up by asking Holliday if he would agree that people could sign the agreement with different views. He said it seems to critize council for being too generous but on the other hand the reverse. Counc. Hubbard asked Holliday who had prepared the letter which he had presented to council. Holliday Holliday said it was a number of people and he was not about to devulge their names. Mayor Rickard informed Mr. Holliday that a reply to his letter would be forth coming coming from council but also that it was not upon council to clear the release of certain information. information. were no .gifts (the wise men came a week later), no turkey just Mary and Joseph and the Babe in a stable with the hay. As we think of Christmas we think of giving gifts. Jesus was the greatest gift of all. The main point is giving. Christmas comes before we are prepared. Everyone was expecting a Messiah but that night the shepherds were alerted by the Angels singing, the wise men by a star. Herod missed Christmas altogether, he didn't have any visions. He was busy with his Kingdom. He felt he didn't have any time. It was as if he said, "I don't have time to go to Bethlehem you go and search," There are those today today who don't have the time for the scriptures and God. Herod makes us think of Judas who didn't like Joseph around, so he planned' to get rid of him. Rev. Tizzard said two years ago he was in hospital for Christmas then he heard beautiful singing. It was the carolers in the hall singing, "Joy to the world the Lord has come. Glory to the new born King, that's what Christmas is all about." Herod missed that joy. Some this Christmas came before Herod was ready. Ready or not Christmas cornés. Ready or not Christ is coming again. He is coming for you and 'forme. 'forme. Help ils not to' miss Christmas.
