2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March S, 1986 The Budget By now you have read all about the pros and cons of the recent recent federal budget and if you were somewhat confused on budget night you are sure to be now. Within the next three months you will have a better idea as to know just who is right and who is wrong in their predictions and as an added bump you will feel the effects of the budget. What we found interesting was comments and especially that of the President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, that group that has been needling Wilson to make drastic cuts in the deficit. On budget night the president of the Canadian organization did have praise for the deficit cut executed by Wilson but then how dare the finance minister further tax the businessman to get some of that money for deficit cuts. Someone wants to save the cake but eat it to. . We have to agree with the man on the street who said "I can support the tax increase providing the money is used to the benefit of all Canadians" and he did realize the deficit could not go on unchecked unchecked forever. We suppose the key to this is the use of the money to the eben- fit of Canadians alike. As we understand the tax increase amounts to some $1.5 billion which would just about cover the cost of jthe $1.6 billion bale-out the government turned over to those with their money in the Commercial Bank that went under in Calgary. This was an extra-ordinary case and above the insurance amounts of guaranteeing up to $60,000. And then a good portion of the money went to the United States which certainly, had no benefit to Canadians. Canadians. Those who did place their money in the Commercial Bank did so only because the bank was offering greater interest rates than the established banking institutions in this country. They took their chance and we lost. Nor are we too interested in helping fund George Hees and his buddies on a $300,000 junket to foreign places. Taxes will rise but lets have them spent in the interest of all Canadians. What's $30,000 The garbage pick-up question again come before council this coming Monday after approval from committee and the question again goes out . . . "What will this time bring?" Late last year the General Purpose committee gave their approval approval but the council te following week turned aside the proposal that the Town Public works department pick-up garbage in both Orono and Newcastle Village. There is a savings to the residents of the twp communities amounting to $30,000 over a two year period and a savings is a savings. savings. It appears that some council members lack confidence in their department's figures. Possibly, now is the time to leave the council chair and pick up the advertised position of Public Works director. On Monday last Counc. Hal McKnight questioned Councs. Hamre use of the phrase 'a political decision'. He thought it should have.been termed a 'business decision'. It would now appear that we could gsk Counc. McKnight the definition of a 'business decision' after all he voted against thesaving of $30,000 for the residents of this area. Judge E.R, Lovekin (Continued from page 1) finality. In speatuhg ûf jury cases Judge Lovekin said he had to agree with the decision of the jury on 99 percent of their decision over which he presided. He said it was uncanny how the jury plugged into the system and rendered an extremely sound decision regarding guilt or innocence. innocence. Judge Lovekin spoke of the problems problems facing a judge as to punishment punishment and as to the adaptable extremes extremes from the Archie Bunker type to the crying towel devoter. He spoke of what he called general deterrance which by coining down hard on one individual is supposed supposed to deter another in committing committing the same crime. He said this hàd not been the case with capital punishment which today is banned in most of the world. Judge Lovekin also asked for evidence 'where jail ever did anyone any good and said the system was over 90 per cent inefficient. The speaker said he was not being critical Of anyone-nor did ht have any magic answers of his own but to 'give long jail sentences was only avoiding the problem and putting the criminal "on ice". He further pointed out that the cost of $50,000 a year to keep a man in a maximum security jail was a waste and that the money could be used for better causes. Judge Lovekin said the Community Community Service Order Programme was not a cure-all for- every criminal, non; .was it an answer for some, "but it- is a great leap forward forward in crime and punishment; not just a step in the right direction." He said CSO is feasible, sensible, cost efficient and a program to guide many offenders back into society, "it's constructive, not destructive", he said. "It seeks in a direct and effective way to teach the age old truth that I am my brother's keeper."' CSO is a sound program because it recognized the dignity and worth çf evdry individual, and seeks to restore his self esteem by making him a useful member of-society. * Kendal News MARCH For howling winds, That made me bend, And make me stronger In the end.

That's a lot of people and the weather was ideal for their ice sculpture and winter activities. activities. He says that Quebec City boasts that it has the finest looking women in Canada. In the early days when Jean Talon the intendent sent to France for as many young marriageable marriageable women as possible to be wives for the disbanded regiments the first shipment was 100 girls, to Quebec, Three Rivers and Montreal. Montreal. Those in Montreal complained complained that the Quebec soldiers had chosen the pick of the ship. Taken from Ann Landers column entitled 'Parents lie to protect children' I am writing to you in the hope that you will alert readers to the fact that something terrible is happening to our teenagers. They are growing up without a sense of right or wrong because their parents lie to protect them when they get into trouble. A 17-year-old girl we've known for years (she was like a daughter) has been baby-sitting for us for a long time. Last week she went through my personal belongings, stole some valuable pieces of jewellry and threatened our children with physical violence if they told on her. When I discovered the loss (the ■ next day) 1 knew she had taken my Judge Lovekin said he felt,'the .

They were pretty, so I took them. I don't have any pretty things." Her parents insisted that she told them her boyfriend had given her the jewellery. What rubbish! How could they believe a teenage kid could afford such things? What's more they told the police they were shocked and resentful because I called in the law. "After all, we were friends" is the way they put it. Parents of teenagers should be alert to the acquisition of new and costly items. If there's something fishy about it they should make their kids face the music instead of covering up for them. This is an important important issue. Then she signs herself - Steamed. Earnest Thompson Seton By Fred Bodsworth (continued) An inveterate rolling stone. Seton seemed compelled to move whenever he could afford to buy a train ticket. There Were more junkets between Manitoba, Toronto Toronto and New York and in 1887 Seton now twenty-seven was back in Toronto for another visit. His mother begged him to settle down. Another brother had a summer resort at Lome Park ten miles west of Toronto and Seton became its resident manager. He lived there two years before the venture finally failed. The failure had two causes: a select Ldrne Park Company, ob- the Wolves was shown in Torontq- on his way west and it created sdv_ much ■ attention that even U.S, critics came to see' it. Critics either despised it or acclaimed it as a great masterpiece. After bitter controversy controversy it was selected for inclusion in the Canadian art exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Seton was now recognized as a wolf authority, in New York he met the owner of a New Mexico cattle ranch who complained that wolves were killing cattle and causing huge losses. One particular old one known as Lobo had for Five years defied all efforts to shoot or trap it. The rancher wished to hire Seton to go out and teach his cowboys how to bring down wolves, especially Lobo. Seton had several illustrating assignments but here was frontier adventure he couldn't resist^so be dropped everything and in the fall of 1893 went to New Mexico as a wolf hunter.
