2, Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 16, 1983 If You Can't Beat Them Join Them The old adage of "If You Can't Beat Them, Join , Them" still appears to hold true. Over the past couple of years there has been a running battle between the Postal Crown Corporation and numerous Hydro Utilities and Municipalities. It all came about when the Crown Corporation was granted the right for all mail delivery and at the same time increased increased costs of letter mailing to a point that is eventually eventually to bring the Corporation into a position where it is to operate on its own revenue. The Markham Hydro Utility was in the forefront of the battle and was not about to give up a cheaper means of delivering their monthly hydro bills. Government bodies are often viewed as the bully when even demanding their rights under the law and po doubt the Postal Corporation has found itself in this position when it takes on such as a local utility or municipal. That they win under the right of law would more than likely be lost in public relations. So Michael Warren and his Crown Corporation have picked up on the old adage, "If you can't beat them, join them" and this is the case in Markham, of late, where on a trial basis the posties are now reading the hydro meters. Consumers' Gas are also looking into the proposal and it does appear that the Crown Corporation Corporation may well win out in the end for they even have support support from their Union who see job security in the program. program. A little bit of free enterprise just may go a long way for the Crown Corporation and like the TTC advertisement,"Is advertisement,"Is There A Better Way".

Joseph was there at the beginning. Joesph of Arimathea was there at the end. The first Joseph was poor the last Joseph rich. How Council pleased with 1983 budget (Continued from page 1) would likely spend some of this money through the 1983 budget. Mayor Rickard said council council was now hearing the fruits of a procedure to pay your Way. Counc. Cowman said she saw only one cloud in the budget and that was the fact that the Town does have unpaid unpaid taxes of 10 to 11 percent. This along with charges amounted to $1.8 million. Kathryn * Campbell, treasurer, said this amount was somewhat above average and that a large portion of unpaid taxes came from the rural areas. She said it could limit the financial ability of the Town in the future if the position did not improve. She pointed out that there had been a good response to the initial tax payment at the end of February 1983. It was pointed out that property owners do have three years in which to pay taxes at which time they are given a further year of grace when the property can be put up for sale by the municipalir ty at piarket value. many of that name were in between. Rev. A. Tizzard said, "Sometimes I wohder what the name of the little boy that Jesus put in the centre centre of the group was when he said, "Except ye become as little children ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3 or what was the name of the lad with five barley loaves and two small fishes who was willing willing to share his lunch. St. John 6:9. The second Joseph was a secret follower. He wrapped the body of Jesus in linen and the spices that Nicodemus brought. This second Joseph did what his conscience told him to do. Jesus was called Jesus "that he might save his people from their sins." He made the journey up to Jerusalem to save his people. We worship a risen .Christ that was crucified. One Joseph was ashamed to let people know . he was a follower of Jesus. I'm not. Are you? Next Sunday, March 20th Ann Foster will be the speaker.
