Forrester, Editor Congratulations Stephanie and Scott Stephanie Hood, 15, Orono and Scott Maybee, 19, Oshawa, Both members of the Orono Figure Skating Club, have brought acclaim to. themselves, the Orono Figure Skating Club and the area through their accomplishments accomplishments at the Divisional Skating Championships Championships held in Oshawa over the past week-end. Certainly they are to be congratulated for their achievements of excellence and the opportunity they have earned through their skills and ability to be among the top skaters in Canada. Their placings at the Divi- sionals competitions places them now in the position to compete for the Canadian Championships in their respective Categories. It is a noteable achievement on the part of both skaters who through their dedication, their ability and talent and hours upon hours of ice time have placed themselves in the top echelon of skating in Canada. And through it all both skaters have continued to exhibit their amiable personalities. Congratulations and the best of luck to both, come thé end of the month in Montreal, competing for Canadian Championships. And where from here? It appears very unlikely that parking control will return to the business section of both Orono and Newcastle Village judging from the recent mood of the Totvn of Newcastle council when the matter came up for renewal a couple of weeks ago. Certainly council should consider 1 the cost and the estimated annual $12,000 does seem rather high for control of parking on such a limited basis. Further, such funding from the Town is not eligible to grants and the monies do come directly from the local taxpayers. It is questionable that tax moneys should be used for parking parking control and is fair to all in the municipality. On the other hand is it always the case that it is fair? Parking, as a rule, is- regulated in downtown business areas through parking meters. In Orono this has been considered and at one time the Orono DBIA did take a straw vote in which the majority did approve of a parking meter system. Initially the new sidewalk program on the east side of the business section was planned to accommodate parking meters. This village does face a number of changes, one being the relocation of the fireball from the business section. What is to happen to the present building which from all reports is beyond reasonable repair. Will it be torn down and the lands used for parking? If so what background information is there as to poarking needs in the Village. It is easy to say there k a need but then what really is the solution. Unfortunately the Town of Newcastle has not 'provided any study that may assist with a solution to parking in Orono. The records will show that some four years ago the Town was to carry out a parking study. Nothing ever happened. Again two years ago the Town was to exercise a parking study but as usual nothing happened and no parking £tudy report came forth for the Village of Orono, • So at the present time Orono ends up with nothing and nothing to fall badk on. Even if the Town should reinstitute parking enforcement in the Village it will be nothing more than a band-aid solution to a greater problem. The solution will never be final until such time as a parking study is completed and altogether too many things as-far as Ororiç downtown's future, hinges on the study. And what future use of the Orono fire hall can be properly decided without some background information. information. It is time council put. away the first aid kit in this matter in Orono and face the real problems head-on.

There are "three products' that are in surplus supply. They are milk, eggs and onions. Farmers are being advised advised to send their extra cows to market. Now this would suggest to the homemakers that we use more eggs. They are our cheapest source of number one protein. Put two eggs, in your rice pudding, two in your meat casseroles, two in each pumpkin pie, even one egg in your pie crust, and of course two in your whole wheat muffins. In the depression o-f the thirties families were supplied with free food vouchers that gave them a lot of milk, eggs and cocoa. Mothers said, "We can't use all that milk , and eggs. Our children are us- « ed to eating bread and jam' could we have jam instead." So the authorities decided they needed to be taught how to make cocoa, rice pudding 'etci They sent around home economists to teach them how to make these foods uar ing milk "and eggs.

Pearce said his dogs had the habit of sleeping around him and even on top of him at night. Although they helped keep him warm they also woke him up. If one dog vacated a choice position during the night, another would immediately immediately take it and a howling howling fight would ensue. Pearce finally solved the problem by sleeping with a dog whip. When a row erupted, he simply stuck out his arm and cracked the whip a few times.
