2-Orono,Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 9, 1986 Second Class MaU Registration Number <Kj0368 Published Every-Wetfoesdayat theMiceof Publics tion Main Street. Orono Thé experience of music The Newcastle and District Concert Series organization operating out of the Village of Newcastle provides the opportunity opportunity for those in this area to come into contact with excellent musical presentation and last Sunday was no exception. However the billing of the Percussionistick was such that we had intended to take in the first half of the program and then scoot home. This was not to be the case for the group of four young men presented what we felt was a most excellent program and especially those numbers in which the Marimba, Vibraphone and Xylophone wercbrought into use. We can enjoy enjoy most forms of music be it western, blue grass, popular, classical etc when the rhythmn is sound, the phrasing and feeling evident as well as the sounds of some of the cords. We rather back-off at heavy metal where the sound is loud, phrasing and feeling lacking and who would know what the cord structure was. We do commend the Newcastle organization in their endeavours who have had financial Support to the point of breaking even but who do lack support in attendance at their concerts. Nothing good ever come easy but we would hope the group will continue with their programs as they intend to do for the 1986-87 season and as well hope support grows for the organization. Another aspect of the concert series is the fact that it plays its part in providing an opportunity for the young artists across the nation to perform in their choosen art and at the same time provide an appreciation for music. To say the least they are talented and one has to feel good that the opportunity is available for them to perform. The Newcastle organization does receive assistance from the Ontario Arts Council and as well Youth and Music Canada plays a big part in the program. It would be hoped that such continues continues in. the future. Again we commend the Newcastle organization. Kendal News 'April, April Laugh thy girlish laughter; Then the moment after, Weep thy girlish tears! Sir Wilfred Watson « . ■« 1 am told that we had an especially especially fine Easter Service in Kendal Church. Also the past Sunday in spite of the fog which encouraged 'one and all that morning was not yet here; there was a fair turn out. In fact it was foggy all day Sunday, Many of you will be packing your holiday bags for Vancouver and Ex- po. Here is a comment on the weather there taken from April Reader's Digest. . While waiting for a bus, a friend and I .were having a- friendly disagreement over whether or not April was a good month to vacation in Vancouver. One of us argued that it was delightfully sunny in' the spring; the other countered that the weather was almost afways rairiy. As we spoke, I noticed a little girl watching us intently. My friend asked asked her if she knew Vancouver.well; she replied that she had just moved to Ottawa after having lived on the West Coast for several years. "Well!" 1 said, "then you settle our argument." The little girl hesitated, obviously not wishing to offend either of us. Suddenly, her face.,' brightened. "Well," she replied happily. "There are lots of rainbows!" , I have "had my first stay in hospital. It lasted eight days and opened up a new world to me. A place of wonderful skill and care, even luxury. Imagine sitting on .the edge of your bed and having a tip fop dinner of your own selection brought to you on a tray. 1 was. thinking I- had been born before there was a hospital of any kind in this area and now there is a million dollar one on the drawing board. All our family were born at home. My sister was the youngest born in 1910. BowmanvHle hospital was opened in 1912. When I was three we all had the whooping cough. Then one morning morning there was a Streak of blood in my vomit. Grandma said, "That -- Happenings --- INFORMATION-MEETING AT ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI On Sunday, April 20th at 7 p.m. Fr. Peter Seabrooke, pastor of St. Michael's Church in Cobourg, will be the guest speaker at St, Francis of Assisi parish. His topic is one which affects each of us in bur relationships with family or friends. The subject of Fr. Peter's presentation'will be Separation and Divorce. He will discuss the teaching of the Catholic Church on Separation and Divorce, and the resources available in the parish and the diocese. Everyone is invited to attend. Refreshments will be served. child has pneumonia, the streak of blood is a sure sign ot pneumonia." So Dr. Tucker was phoned. We had that wonderful new invention the telephone. Dr. Tucker came in his ' horse and buggy and confirmed it. He said, "We must: have the specialist' Dr. Hillier of Bowman- ville, the lung must be tapped. So Uncle Charlie Tamblyn of Bowmanville went to the Doctor's home with his matched team of horses on the rubber tired buggy to bring him to Kendal. He was an exceedingly exceedingly large man in every way. He climbed in and sat down on the seat. He filled the whole seat. Uncle Charlie said, "Where am .1 going to sit Doc." When they arrived Dr. Hillier said, "I must have ice to freeze the area around the lung." It was the first of March so my father said, "There is still ice below the eves on the north side of this house." So it was brought. When they punctured the abscess the pus spurted out and filled a porridge porridge plate. Then a tube was put in to continue draining the lung. Each morning mother had to change the tube and they said they could hear me yelling at Kendal Corner. On April the eighteenth Fred was born. So Mother would be in bed at night with Baby Fred on one side and me on the other. She was breast feeding him, of course, and I would say, "Turn to me Mama, turn to me." A month later we all got the measles and the blinds had to be kept down to save our eye sight but when no one was watching Arthur and I Would peek out behind the blinds. Fred was a mass of speckles. Orono Fair was held the first week of September. When the doctor doctor saw me he said, "When that • tube comes out you don't need another". It came out on the way home. For months my shoulder sagged sagged away down. Now we have antibiotics, penicillin etc. to prevent pneumonia. Dr. Grenfell Part 3 The doctor's work lay mainly among the white fisherfolk, but he had much contact with the Eskimos. He took photographs of them, which he made into slides for his "magic lantern." When they saw their pictures on the screen the Eskimos were excited and would walk to the screen to try to touch ■ "themselves." When Grenfell heard of the hardships hardships of the Labrador seal hunters he sailed to help. All day he was busy binding broken bones and sprains and cuts suffered by the hunters as they leapt from one ice slab'to another in their hunt and killed and skinned thé seals. Grenfell sometimes went out on the ice with the hunters. One day he and several men drifted out of sight of their ship on Boating ice. They played leapfrog to keep warm. Then, lighting a fire, they attracted • the ship's notice and were rescued. The doctor drove his own dog team on his "rounds." Several times he got lost in fog and driving snow and was in a perilous position. Once, indeed, his food supplies exhausted, exhausted, he had to eat sealskin cut from his boots and to boil his skin gloves. (To be continued) Earnest Thompson Selon By Fred Bodsworth (Continued) Following his success with 'Wild Animals I Have' Known', art became secondary and Setbn began devoting much more time to writing- Book iollowed book , almost annually, all illustrated with , his own drawings. There, were, ' Lives of the Hunted, Biography of, a Grizzly, Animal Heroes, Rolf in the Woods and many ethers. Bet ween writing sessions and lecture tours, he also rambled, off into the wilderness somewhere each year. Remembering his own lonely and - harshly disciplined boyhood. Selon created an outdoor organization for boys that survives today as the Boy Scouts perhaps his greatest pionu- tnent but a monument on which his name does not appear. His original boy's organization he called, 'The Woodcraft Indians' and its members were instructed to pattern themselves on the North American Indian, The organization, organization, its laws, system of merit badges and outdoor activity he set down in detail in a four-hundred- page book called, 'The Birch Bark Roll'. Hundreds of groups had sprung up in Canada and the U.S. by 1906 when Selon went to England to promote the idea there, Lord Roberts commarider-in-chief of the British Army was intensely interested and turned Selon over to Boer War hero General Baden- Powell, who was ordered to get the movement rolling in Britain. Selon gave Baden-Powell his Birch Bark Roll and the two had long talks and later detailed correspondence on the subject. But two years later when the Boy Scouts sprang into being in England Selon was-ignored. Baden- Powell's book, on which the new scout movement was based was a thinly disguised rewrite of Seton's Birch Bark Roll with only one important important alteration - Seton's emulation emulation of the Indian was thrown out and the new British Boy Scouts was strongly military instead. Selon commented: "My sole object was to make better citizens; Baden-Powell's was to make better soldiers." World War I was brewing, military organizations were in ■ fashion and Baden-Powell's Boy Scout movement emigrate^ back to North America, «where it slowly replaced the Setori Woodcraft Indians Indians that had fathered il. Influential Influential friends oh both sides of the Atlantic ur,géd Selon to seek recognition as the Boy Scout founder. One of them Lord Nor- thcliffe, publisher of fhe London Times wrote to Selon: "No one acquainted acquainted with the facts has any doubt that you,are the originator of the Boy Scout movement and have bepn unfairly treated by Baden- Powell." He offered Selon the columns columns of the Times "to expose Baden-Powell's imposture. , , But Selon was too interested in the scout movement .to jeopardize its early years by engaging in a race for honours with Baden-Powell. It was probably the only fight in F life he ever declined. He told TW.- defenders that "slow but reliable history" would some day give him the honour he had earned. But history never, has.
