Scouts work with Cubs Scouts Andy Haines and Randy Cowan of the Orono Scout Troop have been delegated as Kims and once a month assist with the Cub Pack program program held at the Orono United Church. The two Kims give instruction instruction as to what goes on in Scouts as a preparation preparation for those Cubs who later will join the Orono troop. The Orono Scouts meet in the Orono Town Hall every Monday night and again this year have a good membership in the troop. "THE DEAD ZONE" My interest in reading books is very limited and for good reason. I am not a good reader. I labour with a book and my level of comprehension comprehension is somewhat lacking requiring requiring that I must return to previous paragraphs repeatedly. But curiosity got the better Of me when the annoucement was made that a scene for a movie was to be filmed in the Orono Town Hall. The movie based on the book "The Dead Zope" by Stephen Kiet was available at the Clarke Library in Orono so I thought a few nights settled in a comfortable chair with the heat turned up wouldn't hurt at all: My curiosity came through the title of the book and 1 had no idea, to what "The Dead Zone" might refer. Further I was interested to read how the Orono Town Hall fitted .into the story. My curiosity has now been satisfied with the completion of the reading of the book. Perhaps I should not give any information as to the content of the book and let you read it yourself but I have to write about something this week and I did,'. indeed, And it in* teresting. The main character in the book, a young man, had suffered suffered a fall early in life followed by an auto accident which hospitalized him for two and a half years in a comma. comma. Upon recovering he found he did have a power to look into the future with considerable considerable accuracy with the exception there would always happen that part of the story was not available to him. This he called his "Dead Zone" and so the title of the book. The Orono Town Hall comes into the story at the very ena when the young clairvoyant takes it upon himself to assassinate a popular politician who he sees to be a threat to the United States and the world and who, in his view, could bring destruction to mankind. Having the Orono Town Hall in mind you can perceive it in. the printed-word in the book. The gallery at the back with a railing and two entrances entrances to the gallery through narrow closed-in stairways is almost identical to that in Orono. One can see Johnny, the clairvoyant, armed with a gun, sneak into the Hall early in the morning making his wav up the narrow'closed- in stairway to . the gallery. Hiding behind the railing to await the appearance of the senator sometime around nine o'clock. He escapes detection even though the janitor and security security make their rounds of the building. It is quite easy to see this all happening in the Orono Town Hall and even to the action of the attempted assassination. We did enjoy the book and suppose an added dimension came from the fact part of Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 19,1983, 3 United Way shortfall set at $150,000.00.

Add a further dimension that some local citizens may well be sitting in the benches in the front rows. Incidentally the Orono Times is printing 1000 three- colour election brochures to be used throughout the production production of the movie by Senator Greg Stillson and Tomlinson Silk-Screening in the village is producing election election posters, banners, and related election needs. There is an air of excitement excitement in the community due to the fact the movie does have as one of its locations the Orono Hall and we have been receiving calls at the Times on "How do I get a part in the movie as an extra?" We have no idea on the latter latter other than we understand an ad will be placed in the paper in the near future giving giving out such details.
