2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 15, 1983 It Infuriates Us If there is anything that arouses our drandruff it has to be the use of the word 'scab' when referring to those who accpet employment where regular labour has left the workplace either through strike or a lock-out. Certainly we do not condone professional strike breaking altogether but where an individual is willing to work to support himself and that of his family he does not deserve the word '^*tb* for that effort and we feel a right of an open society. Too often the employed are called lazy and an effort is made to group all such unfortunates in the same lot. Then we they do accpet a position that others have held, they are called scabs The Oshawa Times in a bold headline made use : of the word last week when referring to anti- strike-breaking legislation proposed by - the Ontario government. No doubt its use was convenient in headline writing but it is a degrading word and most unfair. We will wait an see From all reports following the recent Progressive Progressive Conservative leadership convention held in Ottawa it would appear that the Conservative party is united or will be united as never before. ' Most ofthe reports have to be wishful thinking thinking at this time as far as the road of harmony is concerned. concerned. Although we are not a political analyst it would appear that the chain of power is slipping from the old guard and they realize once gone it never returns. Such as John Bassett and others on a panel on Channel 9, from their comments, realized what is happening and they were really not in support of tile way the convention was tilting. We will hold our comments for a number of months for the new, leader must now make the appointments appointments to the power structure of the party and within this will be the key if all is a bed of roses without thorns. Early last month I went to Point Pelee for the spring^ migration and became a born-again' bird watcher! I'm still not sure how it happened. I've always taken , a lukewarm look at "birders." I always liked to think of myself as a detached philosopher 1 about such blatters. - That includes fly-fishing, sailing, going up in balloons : and gliders, health foods, health clubs, transcendental meditation, stamp* collecting, hiking and parachute jumping. I always liked to think I could take them or leave them. I looked upon them with amused indulgence. ' » But at Point Pelee I changed." Maybe it was the atmosphere atmosphere at Wigle's Motel in Leamington, where birders have been staying for yea re. Maybe Norman Chesterfield had something to do with it. Norm is a world's champion bird lister who has sighted 5,870 birds. He was my guide. We arrived at "The Point" about 7 AM on a magnificent magnificent May morning. A small train took Us out near the tip of the spit which juts out into Lake Erie. Hundreds of birders were already there. When a new bird was sighted, word got around quickly. There would be whispers» and small groups would merge toward the bird's location. Cameraman Tim Moses was enthralled. My wife, Jenny, who knows a lot about birds anyway, spotted a Cormorant. Somebody said there was a Wilson Warbler nearby I began to sense the excitement. Someone had given me a bird list. I borrowed binoculars from Norm. I closed in on an Indigo Bunting. I told Tim. He was able to get the picture. So I've finally managed to get up off my lotus position. position. Armed with new binoculars, my checklist and the latest Roger Tory Peterson handbook, I am now a novice birder. I keep telling myself it's a temporary thing. I'll get over it. Yet I have a strange feeling that, like,the birds, instinct will guide me back to Point Pelee again and again. Employment for 8 to 10 (Continued from page 1) which the local tree nursery could participate providing a local group in the community would act .as sponsors. . Phillion said the tree nursery would use the program program to improve the 1100 acres of plantation at the Orono site through thinning, trimming and general clean-up. Phillion said they had enough work for eight to ten employees for an eight month period. The Nursery will look after all aspects of the program program with funding coming from both the Federal and Provincial governments. Those employeed under the program would be hired through Canada Manpower and must be unemployed. Phillion further pointed out that the work through the program would increase the value of. the plantations as well as making them more productive. It will also improve improve the esthetics of the Orono Tree Nursery^ Phillion said the use of the Canada Ontario Forestry Employment Program would have great benefits years down the road both financially financially and in productivity of the plantations. The request for sponsorship sponsorship received immediate support support from the local Associaion with many members speaking in support of the project and congratulating congratulating Phillion for his interest and enthusiasm in making use of the program which will provide employment employment in the area for those in need and as well in improving conditions of the plantations at the tree nursery. The Association also gave approval to a report from the Director of Public Works of the Town of Newcastle, Ron Dupuis, in that parking lines will be painted in the Orono business section this year. It was reported that the Junior Gardeners had planted the flowers boxes and that a continuous clean-up of the main, street was being undertaken. Keith Barr (Continued from page 1) him and he was a true friend to everyone who had the privilege to share in his knowledge and understanding. There are numerous memorials which will remain as a testimony to his good work, said Mayor Rickard. "FeW men were more modest than Keith Barr, for he was one who worked worked quietly and diligently where he saw the need, not for, himself but for the service service of others. Mayor Rickard, on behalf of council, offered deepest sympathy to Mrs. Barr, son Chris and daughter Susan and to all their family and friends and trust they will find strength from the Kendal News I will give him the morning star. Rev. 2:28 I was in too big a hurry to plant my tomatoes. ; Mr. Green of Woodbridge said, "Never put out your tender house plants until the end of the first week in June." This year I planted my tomatoes on June 3. They were frozen June 7th. The radio said danger of frost in low lying areas. We are up high. Too bad for growers with a field planted in tomatoes.

Tizzard read Revelations 3: 14-22 and spoke on the seventh church of Revelations Laodecia. It. was situated 100 miles from Ephesus and this city was built in 260 B.C. It was a wealthy church in a great manufacturing city that made many kinds of cloth and eye salve. The risen Lord tells them that they need help from God and man. There is no such thing as a lukewarm Christian. You have lots of wealth yet you are poor. You have a powder that cures the eyes physically yet you are blind. That is truely said. People have to make decisions decisions Jesus had to make a decision to accept the earthly, crown or the crown of thorns. He called on them to re- ' pent. To those who are faithful there is a reward V 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne. There is more to life than the physical, there is also the spiritual.

Prink and I wefe living in Pakistan our six month old baby became ill and died. An old Punjabi who heard of our grief came to comfort us. "A tragedy like this is similar to being plunged inf boiling water," he said, "'X you are an egg your affliction will make you hard-boiled and unresponsive. If you are a potato you will emerge soft and pliable, resilient and adaptable. Which do you want to be?" 4 It may sound funny to God but there have been times when I have prayed, "Ô Lord, let me be a potato!"
