6, Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, February l"6, 1983 Qrono extras flock to the rally From Around Home (Continued from page 3) Over 125 extras from the Orono area are playing their part as an audience for a political rally being filmed in Orono this week as part of the $10 million movie, The Dead Zone. , There is a lot of excitement excitement amongst the group and they are finding it most interesting and exciting. exciting. Production crews truck in of $5,000, when the Police Trustees came up with the same idea for the Orono Armories. The Orono Police Trustees, the governing body in Orono at the time, had purchased the Orono Armories building from the federal government at the price of $5,000 and were making plans for turning turning the building into a community centre. The drive at the time for the same through Charlie Miller, Ted Woodyard, Joe Walker and possibly Dick Logan. At about this time I had made my debut in local politics. The Armories had been purchased but we had ho money to proceed further unless we could successfully designate the Armories as a community community centre and gain funding from the Province. We prepared the application only to find that the Orono Oddfellows were also applying for community centres status and provincial funding. Certainly we knew that the government would not agree to two community centres in Orono with a meagre population of 1,000 and the Police Trustees were not about to come, out in the open with open war against the Orono Oddfellows headed up by Billy Riddell and Bud Rolph. That would have been political suicide. (I guess we were no different then than they are today). The Oddfellows were working through their local M.P.P., Alex Carruther, which'was not the case with the Police Trustees. Harry Mercer, a fellow trustee, was not in the habit of asking favours from a conservative and I always believe you were entitled to those things that were regulated by legislation and political pressure was only the last resort. The three Police Trustees devised a plan to hold their application. As both parties had to apply . through the Township Office and since Ed. Millson was then both clerk for the Township and , secretary for the Police Trustees our application went in one week after that of the Orono Oddfellows. Oddfellows. In the meantime we kept our mouths shut and"said nothing of the request. Certainly we believed we had more right for approval since we represented the public as a whole and the Armories Armories was a public building.

Andre Van Schyndel has found out, and made possible talking cookbooks, dictionaries, dictionaries, and encyclopaedias. Van Schyndel, a graduate physics student at University of British Columbia, has invented a "voice indexer". It records page numbers, index entries,. etc. on tape so that they can be heard if the tape is played on fast forward or rewind, but not at normal playing speed. The device records the entries at very slow speeds. They become audible if the tape is> played very quickly -- but at normal speed they are too low in pitch for human ears to hear. Readers recording talking books push a button to activate the indexe», and read the page number into the microphone. A computer coding mechanism in the indexer codes the number onto the tape -- at slow speed. The information, just liice other material, appears on any,copies of the tapes as well.
