2-Wrono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 13, 1987 Why a head table? Attending an Appreciation Breakfast recently at Clarke High School when the School and the Co-operative Education department "were recognizing assistance from employers for their part in the Co-op program we were faced, which is general practice, with a head table of dignitaries. They were all there from trustees, chairman of the board, principal, head of the department, a representative of administration and a rep from the public. . Now this is not unusual, nor is it upsetting, for it happens in all such events but we had just read another article on the Japanese industrial industrial revolution and the attitudes developed between management and those in the work place and this development of attitude has been somewhat successful. We felt it would apply to the situation of the Appreciation Breakfast and that if this had been held in Japan the so-called dignitaries would be intermingling and conversing with the actual wheels of industry. The head table would .be non-existant and those who had sat there would be sitting amongst the real world meeting the proponents proponents of the program, the students and the employers and with all Benefiting from a possible free discussion. Since the breakfast the Toronto Star has published a series of articles articles on education and all is not well in this field. Nothing however is perfect and this has been and will continue to be the case in education. The important fact is the degree of illness but unfortunately the illness is seldom alluded to by those close to and involved in the administration of public affairs. This omission is evide'nt at the headlable. UNTIL SATURDAY TO GET BABY ENTRIES IN The Orono D.B.I.A. Baby entries are due by this Saturday and may be left at any of the Orono stores.

Kendal News The cold, gray mist on the sea out there Crept into the bones of the elderly pair Who lived by themselves on the coastal bay From the life of the world to hide away. "We need not your help", he used to say When the mission boat called in his lonely bay. But therefCàme a day when his wife lay ill And age had crippled his former skill. Then the mission boat, when it hove in sight For a pastoral call, brought a shout of delight. While the doctor's skjll brought relief and life To a troubled man and his suffering wife, The mission boat's crew set right- ' the mast In his fishing boat. All was right at last. After a chat and a pastoral prayer The old man whispered, "Thanks for your care. / Don't ever go by when you're parsing parsing near, / There's always a welcome for you here." "Whenever you will you can do good to them." 1 Mark 14:7 From an experience of Dr. Darby on the Thomas Crosby. Sunday, May 10th was a beautiful summer-like day only very dry. There was a fine turn out to the pancake breakfast on Mother's Day. Then there was a sing song followed by a special service. The choir sang "How long has it been since you talked with the Lord?" The conversation with the youth was thé story of the little man who climbed a tree to see Jesus, Then Rev. Bryan Ransom baptized baptized Courtney Elizabeth Paxton daughter of Neil and Donna Paxton. Paxton. Jared Arnold John Wallace son of Arnold and Vicky Wallace And Brandon Johnathon Noble West son of Ray and Teresa West. The Sunday School children remained remained in the church and the minister conducted a puppet show with a lesson. On May 30th there will be a work bee for the Kendal United Church followed by a Pot Luck Supper. On June 3rd at 7:30 p.m. the Dairy Princess will give a talk in Kendal Sunday School hall, all the neighbourhood are invited, lunch will be served by Kendal U.C.W. Mrs. Ella Geach is doing as well as can be expected and having tests in Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto. On Saturday evening May 9th a goodly number gathered at the church for a Pot Luck supper followed by 'some impressions of Russia', by Rolf Hellebust who spent five months in Russia. He told us a Russian rubel was worth roughly around two dollars. « e had a very large map erected hich gave us some idea how very ! large the Soviet Union is 1 geographically. In fact it is a union of fifteen republics. A great deal of Siberia is like our northern Canada with no one living in vast stretches of tundra. The Russian people make up about 50% of the popula- tion and live in Europe. The Russian people are very serious they are not a smiling people. people. In their homes these Canadian students found' them quite hospitable. There are long line ups in Russia. At the time of the nuclear explosion explosion in Russia one year ago great headlines in their newspapers told "U.S. Bombed Libya", and on the second page was a tiny news item mentioning an explosion at their nuclear plant. The Russian people read a great deal. All Russians know a few words of English. They are taught that the two greatest languages in the world are Russian and English. English is tangly in their high schools, often very badly, which is understandable as it is a very difficult difficult language to learn. We have so ||any words that sound the same Éftd mean something entirely different, different, for example; the wind blew, and my dress is blue. Where these students boarded there were many high rise buildings ■ and boârded up churches. Their dances "are very, ■ sedate. Businessmen from',tile west or journalists journalists may have their phones tapped tapped but not students. Their roads are quite bad. Two lane roads that are very bumpy. They have a great many health problems. They use no 'anaesthetic for dental work. Leningrad is reveared everywhere; he is considered like their god. The Russian people are a very hard working people. If a woman works in a factory she is expeetd to be responsible for all the housework as well. There are no bonuses for overtime. Houses are not expensive but where can you find one, that is the trouble. There are fine menus in restaurants but they haven't this, or this, or this. Things in Russian shops are very limited. Foreigners can buy anything they may desire in shops where only foreigners are allowed to shop. Rolf sang two Russian Songs for us accompanying himself oh 'the guitar. He said the new Russian leader had cracked down on drinking'. No drunk men to be seen on their streets. Mrs. Jean Hoy thanked Rolf for his enlightening address and presented him with a small going away gift. He expects to leave for Russia in the fall for another few months study. On May 7 the 'District Annual of Durham West Women's Institutes met in Kendal United Church. Mrs., D. Lowery played the Institute Ode and Mrs. D. Cathcart our president welcomed the visitors. We were- responsible for the noon meal at which sixty-seven ladies sat down. . The district secretary will write a report of the business transacted and'the decisions made. I did listen to some of the resolù- tions put before the ladies. One was that larger plainer markers be placed placed at the end of* * each street so that strangers in cars could see them more readily when looking for a street. I tho.ught that was a good idea as I recall one stranger looking for a street in Orbno finally spotted it and stopped at once. One lady in the car following suffered whiplash for several months as a result. However the ladiei voted against any improvement in the signs. A second second resolution was worded something like this; be it resolved that the government look into, the problems that may follow genetic embryo transplants. This was a subject that all the ladies seemed to want to discuss at once. It made me think of a city girl who was describing her country boy friend's farm. She said, "There are no bulls balling around that farm. They use artificial inspiration." When Miss Tillie Patton was principal of a new school in Oshawa she asked her class to describe the achievements of Count Frontenac Governor of New France or of Jean Talon the grèat Intendant. One lad wrote and I quote, "Jean Talon was the first man to discover how to increase increase the population." I was unable to stay till the resolution was voted on. However I might state the institute ladies seem to be as interested in the subject as Pope John Paul so I conclude it will be, thoroughly investigated. Sunday was Mother's Day. What fine tributes have been paid to a wife by the worthies of all time. Chaucer refers to her as "This flour of wifely patience". Pope "Mistress of herself though China fall. Simonides "Of earthly goods the best, is a good wife; a bad bitterest curse of human life". \ Byron "She'll cheer thy sickness, watch thy health, partake but never waste thy wealth, or stand with smile unmurmuring by and lighten half thy poverty." Milton "Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight." Lord Lyttleton: "How much the wife is dearer than the birde." Shakespeare: "She is mine own! and I am rich in having such a jewel as twenty seas, if all their sands were pearl, the waters nectar, and the rocks pure gold." Wbrdsworth: She gave me eyes; she gave me ears; and humble cares and delicate fears, a heart the fountain of sweet tears; and love, and. thought and joy." N.P. Willis: "The world well tried the sweetest thing in life is the .unclouded welcome of a wife." Pope also said: Woman at best a contradiction still," t: St. Saviour's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev.
