The One-Man feature provides unlimited music throughout the Pyramid skam (Continued from page 3) participants will be bilked of their money. Here's how it works: A pyramid consists of 15 people. The person at the top is called the "pilot". The next level consists of two people called "co-pilots" and the next level is made up of four people referred to as the "crew". The last layer involved eight people called "passengers". To work, the eight passengers each give the pilot an amount, called called an "investment", that cab be as much as $5,000.00 each. The usual amount of the schemes-, now operating is $2,200.00. « " Once he has his money, the pilot leaves and the pyramid splits into two pyramids each piloted by the original two co-pilots. Everyone else moves Up one row and another eight passengers aré recruited for each of the pyramids. Theoretically, should po °pe drop out and all 16 new players pay their "investment" , money, the original co-pilots would receive their money and would leave the scheme. The two pyramids would, be split into four pyramids. * ; If each pyramid was to fill and be split each day, the number of new members would doyble daily until the end of just, two weeks when there would be 262,143 people playing. playing. At the end of the third week, 33,544,431 persons would be needed needed and a mere three days later 268,435,455 would be involved. So who wins at the pyramid game? According to the Ontario Provincial Police the answer is - almost no one. And, who loses? Simple mathematics show that aside from the hustlers who set up the pyramids, and whose names are at the top, everyone else will lose. Contrary to what participants are told dt meetings, police undercover officers are attending organizational organizational meetings of the Pilot Investment Investment Club and other pyramid .schemes currently operating in Ontario, Ontario, and arrests are being made. The Criminal Code provides for a penally of a maximum of 2 years imprisonment and f foies are unlimited. country, rock and roll and plain sing-alongs. Johnnie will be at the fair Thursday through to late Sun 1 day afternoon. All it takes is a few as an audience and Johnnie is on his music trip. The entertainer plays at dances, such as the G.M. and U.A.W. picnics, picnics, jamborees and numerous fairs throughout the district. Another musical • event for the l.ocaf Orono Fair. Never original It's difficult to be original and infact infact some years ago I had i,ead an article on originality and it stated that it's near impossible and that good ideas that do come forth are on the most part stolen from! some where else. So as far as I'm concerned as hard as one tries its almost impossible impossible to be original. The time is now short to ,the Orono Fair and over the past month or so I had thought it would be nice to have a new and original feature for MacDonald's Farm. After all everyone now has a MacDonald's Farm or Petty Zoo. Why, not now venture out on something new? What would the kids like that might have additional appeaf and yet within reason as to cost and time? 1 Really I was getting nowhere and time has been getting shorter. There was the possibility of a Frog Jumping contest in which the kids could bring their frog to compete compete in trials on - Saturday 'and' the championships on Sunday. But this ■ did not create that much enthusiasm. enthusiasm. With these thoughts in the back of my mind there flashed over the television screen a twenty second news flash of an event in New Hampshire that was getting country-wide coverage nd>t only in Canada but I would also suspect in the U.S. It twigged . . . this is for MacDonald's MacDonald's Farm and surely if the item would get twenty second on national news in Canada there must be interest and further its all the , way from New Hampshire. Never heard of it being done in Canada up to this moment. Why not in Orono. A pig race using fifteen to twenty pound piglettes along with starting gates as in the runners and an small oval track to the finish line. The . piglettes could carry colourful racing racing colours and of course have names. , There would be Barbara Que, Loyna Pork, Cottage Rolland apd Teddy Loin. Two males and two females or rather I should say two females and two males, Now with the idea its a matter of time to build the starting gate and grade out the track with a possible white picket fence as at Epson Downs, And there is the training to get these piglettes in racing form and to go in the right direction. As far as, paramutuels we will forget about that part of the race unless the kids would like to pick the winning entry and in so doing receive an all-day sucker. See you at the fair come September 4th hopeful that all wrinkles are ironed out and that we don't turn out to be a "Wrong Way Corporation of the TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC NOTICE HALE'S BRIDGE - ROAD CLpSING Residents are advised that repairs to the bridge (spanning the ri^er) located within the road allowance located between Lots 12 and 13, in Concession 3, former Township of Clarke, shall be commenced on/or about July 21, Î986.
