2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 30, 1983 #rono Mttklp Eimes , Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 ' Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono , Roy C. Forrester, Editor PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED An inequality certainly shows up in garbage collection costs between the Village of Orono and the Village of Newcastle whereby Orono residents, on the average, are now called to pay some $37.80 a year compared to $20.25, on average, in Newcastle Village. Although the unit cost charges by Regional Reclaimers for the same service in both villages is the same the difference comes about when these costs are placed on the assessment for taxation by the Town of Newcastle. It appears that Newcastle property assessment is almost double that of Orono and the Orono Estates while the number of customers does not rise in the same proportion. It seems only logical that similar services in different areas of the Town having the same basic costs should be charged out at the same rate. This was one of the principals for the formation formation of the Regional system of government and it was often promoted that the accumulated assessed value of a municpali- ty would assist those areas of lesser assessed value. The Town could by putting the charges on a unit basis equalize the cost of garbage pickup between the two centres and this, we understand, is now under consideration. It does have some implications as to the tax bill which in the most is based on charges associated with assessments. . It seems only fair that the cost should be the same in the two centres especially since we are in the same municipality and as well under the same contract price. The final tax bill has not as yet been established and if action was taken now to correct this inequity the issue would be over. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? One could hardly disagree with the Catholic bishops in their call for parishers to join with labour and other community groups to assist Canada's jobless workers. The Bishops are calling for social movement towards economic justice for the unemployed. A grassroots involvement as suggested by the Bishops is commendable but like all other groups calling for justice for the unemployed there is no course to follow or a suggestion of a course. The problem is not only in Canada but throughout the world and there is no easy fix. One can call for the governments of the day to stimulate employment but if one is to judge government programs as in the past and those now in effect it only relates to short-term make work projects. The Town, of Newcastle, only at'their most recent meeting, filed a proposal from government because Newcastle can only scrap up a minimum of jobs for painting, repairs and such. There is a limit to such programs and we have likely already reached that limit. One often hears the call for industry to invest new capital to increase productivity and new products. This is within the possibility of reality but first markets must be available and they just are not at the present time. Industry Industry are now keeping pace with demand at less than eighty percent'capacity of their plants. Where are they to sell the new proposed productivity? There is a market available however and that is in the lower income bracket. There is a need for housing, for cars, furnishings, ançl a better standard of living all around for this group. Unfortunately our present system of determining pay increases on a percentage basis and as well determining inflation increases on the same basis leaves this group in' the cellar with little chance of rising above this level. The Region of Durham presents the $15,000 worker with five percent or,$750.00 and for the $60,000 employee the same five percent develops an additional income of $3,000. We would suggest there has to be a limit on the upper income bracket for they are going to survive but at the same time their increase whether it is for management in the Region or on the production line is going to prove difficult for thosê with the $750.00 increase. increase. It is also time to determine the inflation rate other than on a percentage basis. It is used constantly in negotiations and is unfair when one considers the wide scope in income and salaries.. Can anyone justify thaf a $60,000 employee costs rise $3,000 while one making $15,000 only rises $750.00. Hardly. If we are looking for social justice in the field of employment and financial reward then the gap in salaries have to narrow and it would mean restraint at the top while those in the cellar start to advance to the first floor. If we are interested in any moral dimension to fight for economic and social justice then we must be ready to make sacrifices. Until that time happens unemployment will remain a problem in this country and the rest of the world. The market is there for industrial expansion but the money is already in the wrbng hands. Kendal News RESURRECTION I saw a carpet of flowers Spread on a hillside green. It was the loveliest sight My eyes had ever seen. A thousand tulip blossoms Of purple, gold and white Had opened in full glory In the Easter morning light. And as I gazed in wonder There came to me the thought That the flowers were a symbol symbol Of the hope that Easter brought. For the flowers had lain in darkness Through many a winter night To open now in loveliness This Easter morning bright. Just as in the Lord's own promise promise Our hope and trust remain That on the resurrection morning morning We, too, will rise again. Mabel Robertson Caldwell The last weekend in March was a very unpleàsant one with fog, and snow and rain. However there was a fine attendance attendance at church. Following Following the first part of our service service the Reception of Church Members took place. There were fourteen received into full church membership by Profession of Faith. They were Mr. Don Peddar, Mr. Ralph Greenwood, Mrs. Diane Greenwood, Billy Greenwood, Glen Foster, Chad Switzer, Barney Frank, Peter Fonk, Patricia Frank, Jane Kennedy, Heather Hoy, Janine Foster, Sandra Atkins and April Switzer. Two others had planned on joining joining the church at this time but could not come due to illness. Reverand A. Tizzard admonished admonished them to Go Forth into the world filled with His spirit as a servant of Jesus Christ. We were pleased to have some beautiful Palm Sunday music played by Steven and Andrew Hellebust on their instruments instruments accompanied- by their brother Rolf on the piano. Reverand A. Tizzard read St. Matthew 21:1-11. His sermon sermon topic was "Back for the Last Time". It is recorded that Jesus went up to the temple in Jerusalem seven times. The first time he was taken there by his parents: and Simeon a man of God said, "This little one is the promised Christ." Luke 2: 28-32. The second time as a boy of twelve his . parents missed him as they returned on the homeward journey. They found him in the temple, listening and asking asking questions. Luke 2: 42-47. On this the seventh time some expected him to come with military might, riding on a war horse. As he came riding on a donkey they welcomed him with branches of palm trees. Songs "Hosanna "Hosanna to the son of David'.'. There were two crowns, a' military crown or a crown of thorns. The leaders wanted him to be a world figure. They wanted him to be the greatest King the world had ever known. They wanted him to drive out the Romans. He came to save his people from their sins so he accepted the crown of thorns. As you go out into the world you too may have to accept HARDSHIP. HARDSHIP. Next Sunday is Easter Sunday Sunday let us make à special! effort effort to attend the Easter service. service. Letter to Editor ", I was pleased to read that the annual Canadian seal hunt has at last come to an end. No more will small, innocent innocent baby seals be clubbed to death by ruthless hunters who sell the skins of these poor creatures to factories 1 which process'them into coats and other "novelties" for rich people all over the world. However, I just have one question: When will the public outcry outcry be heard about the ruthless murder of hundreds of thousands of equally small, innocent baby girls and boys, who lose their lives each year by the suction, saline and hysterotomy abortion abortion methods performed under the sanction of the law, in Canadian hospitals?

I read that three boys and several girls from Clarke . High School had journeyed to London and Paris for the March break. I hope they will tell us about their trip many of us have never seen London or Paris. Most of us have read parts of Samuel Pepys' (pronounced (pronounced Peeps) diary. Although it is 350 years old it is as vivid as the twentieth century. Pepys was born above his father's tailor shop off Fleet Street in London in 1633 and was twenty-six - when he first kept his diary. Thanks to assistance from rich relatives Samuel had been able to go to Cambridge and take his degree, He had married the fifteen year old daughter of a penniless Huguenot refugee when only twenty-two and at the beginning beginning of his record, they were living in a small house in Axe Yard in London. Samuel was a humble clerk in the Exchequer Exchequer Office. He was later to get a better job as Clerk of the Acts in the Navy Office; now called the Admiralty .i He . and his little family moved to an official house close to the Tower of London. After telling how he and his wife and their servant Jane lived he recorded, he put on his "suit with great skirts - having not lately worn any clothes but them" and emerged . into the bright limelight of his own making. Soon 'he returned "Home and being washing day dined upon cqld meat." We can picture his feelings immediately. immediately. In a few days "This .morning I began a practice which I find by the ease I do it' which I shall continue, continue, it saving me money and time: that is to trim myself with a razor which pleases me * mightily." Whenever he wrote Pepys had the uncanny gift of making making the trivial moment last forever. "Thence* home, ' where I found my wife and maid awâshing. I stayed up till the bell-man came by with his bell just under my window as I was writing of this very line and cried "Past one of the clock, and a cold, frosty, windy morning." I then weir to bed and left my wife and the maid awashing still. That bell-man's cry has been preserved forever. Last weekend John McMillan called the fire reels to a fire in his fireplace. He lives northeast of Kendal on the ninth line. They brought it under control. At the time of writing two of our ladies are in Bowman- ville Hospital, Mrs. R. Elliott and Mrs. Ron Frank. We wish them a speedy recovery. St. Saviours ANGLICAN CHURCH Orono, Ontario Regular Sunday Worship Service ■ 9:45 a.m. Rev. Allan Haldenby B.A.L Th.
