Celebrates First Birthday William Graham Wright, son of celebrated his first birthday on May Jim and Nancy Wright, Newcastle, 24th. Happenings .... BALLOONS RELEASED AT ORONO UNITED CHURCH The Orono United Church Sunday School completed their program program for the year and in celebration held a brief ceremony outside the church releasing a number of balloons to which were attached messages containing scripture and a greeting from the Sunday School. MUSIC NIGHT TO BE HELD IN ORONO A music night is being arranged to be held in the Orono Town Hall on June 19th featuring .local talent and the Orono Orchestra. Proceeds Proceeds from the night will go towards beautification at the front of the hall. ' Who won? Don't ask! If its a matter of endeavouring to find out who won the business soccer soccer game last Wednesday your answer will depend totally on who you ask and from what side of the Main Street they undertake their business. '• From the west it -would be 'west is best and east scored least'. But cross the street to the east it is 'east had a feast'. Although the final whistle has blown on the soccer game itself the battle still rages as to who was the winner. The outcome was to h§ve been settled by the prestigious ref, Matt Snelder, all decked out in his official official uniform. He looked at the twenty-two players from the east and then the twenty-two players from the west only to quickly make his exit .trotting out to the north. 1 really doubt that anyone would blame him for this exit which has left the result in limbo. Perhaps the outcome will have to be. decided by the unbiased press in this community. That decision Id delight the west and does Vpch the door for a rebuttal from the east who are just itching'to put pen to paper. The decision is a total package as the 'west entered the event with a class act... a parade up main street headed by a two-piece band, six cheer leaders with pompoms and carrying a casualty from the east on a stretcher. Where' was 'the east? Riding in the back of a half-ton pickup. v*i tiiv placing livau, «a an eyewitness, it had to be a draw at one goal each. Perhaps it would be better if you choose your own winner for everyone did have a good time and it was surprising to see forty-four business people turn out for the event and from talk around town there is more to come. The kindergarten children arid grade one students from the Orono Public School made a delightful appearance appearance and demonstrated warmup warmup exercises in which they had the west and east participating. The Downtown Business group would like to thank the public school children for the part they played in adding to the event. Oh checking around town the following day there were a few stretched and sore muscles plus numerous bruises. Apparently one casualty on the east side as she was cohspicous in her absence all through Thursday?
