2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 9, 1987 By-law enforcement The Town of Newcastle sets forth in by-laws various conditions under which its citizens are to guide themselves as to residents of the municipality. This involves not only the emission of noise under which the residents must have control but the use of land, the safety and repair of buildings, the' construction of buildings, their placement on property and a host of other regulations. The by-laws, we would hope, are brought into force in the interest of the community and its residents and in bettering bettering the community as a whole. The Comprehensive Zoning By-law took years to compile and not without considerable debate and consideration. In brief the by-laws are the guidelines in which the municipality abides. But then comes the enforcement and in particular in the Town of Newcastle enforcement is supposed to key into action upon written complaint. This, however, draws the individual individual resident into the issue of enforcement and it can become a somewhat frustrating endeavour and no doubt hampers many putting pen to paper to lodge what they see as a violation of an existing condition of a by-law. Taking that by-law enforcement is only undertaken on written complaint the Town should make sure that such complaints, complaints, if legitimate, are handle decisively and quickly. To do anything, else creates harassment for the complaintant and total frustration. By-law enforcement should be consistant and fair for this enforcement sets the tçne under which the laws of the Town* are observed. A lax in enforcement only promotes greater and greater abuse of the Town's laws and greater frustration for those who wish to abide by them. Often one hears of building without permits and as this continues it grows as do other infractions and this could include parking whether it be in the downtown area or in a residential area. If the Town is to continue with enforcement oh complaint, complaint, and possibly there is a good reason to, then they must make sure these complaints are handled decisively and quickly quickly and without being frustrating'to the complaintant. KENDAL NEWS Why do the bells of Christmas ring? Why do little children sing? Once a loving shining star, Seen by shepherds from afar, Gently moved until its light, Made a manger cradle bright. There, a darling baby boy, Pillowed soft upon the hay; ,An$l it's mother sang and smiled: * "This is Christ, the holy child." •Therefore bells for Christmas ring, Therefore little children sing. • Eugene Field Sunday morning was bright and sunny but cold. We had a splendid program put on by-the Sundây School and the costumes were beautiful. It took the form of the Christmas Story in a pageant. The church was most beautifully decorated at the front with a perfect back 8rop screen of the stable with very realistic palm branches painted at both sides, There were sheep and poultry painted on it, even a perfectly bright coloured rooster on a stall. The cradle of course was in front with the babe in,the manger.* * The children were most perfectly .dressed with bright towel turbans or sparkling halos for the angels. First of course we had our opening opening hymn followed by the choir anthem, anthem, "Hail! Hail! What child is this?" Then "The acting of the Second Sunday of Advent." We were all given printed sheets of the service. Andrea Hartman read the part of the child while Brian Alcock read the part of the adult and lit the se- • cond candle which represents "Peace.". ' The second candle reminds us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Then we had the Manger pageant, this was read by Brad Switzer arid acted out by the twelve children taking part ^ Brian Alcock was Joseph and Jennifer French was Mary. The three Switzers, April, Brad and ('.'had sang as a trio, "I heard the bells on Christmas Day." The organist for the manger pageant was Mrs. Joyce Boudreau.

Exchange, of gifts is not giving. To the child it's getting. 1 have seen more than one young tad'crying after the gifts were opened in Pon- typool. I taught there three years. Each child was to purchase a 25 cent gift. This was around 1935 and lots of good gifts could be bought for 25 cents. However, a Japanese pencil box with 4 pencils inside cost just 15 events. It looked like a fine gift except the lead was so hard they woùldn't make a mark. When a lad opened his gift and saw Japanese pencils he would be in tears. After the war the Americans helped* the Japanese rebuild new factories and taught them good business principals. "Now the Japanese are sticklers for perfection," perfection," so Mr, Danzel Dale says. Duplate Plastics does a lot of business with them. However, useless articles are still floating around. One of our ladies bought a touch and take article at Newtonville Bazaar. It was a rubber pad with "Scratch" printed on it. She asked us what she could use it for. One lady suggested, "Keep it till next year wrap it up and put it on the "touch and take table." One lady, said when she was about twelve there were eight in their family and her allowance was a dollar a month but she managed to buy the seven gifts. She bought her mother a broach with a red stone. My aunt Mrs. Burwash said her children saved their money for Christmas and the day before Christmas she would call the store and tell the girl she was sending her three down to do their Christmas shopping. She told the girl if the gift seemed right but the money wasn't to add the exlra money to their store bill. Even the little one of three enjoyed buying gifts. Kendal United Church Women met at the home of Mrs. Eleanore Foster on December 2nd for our Christmas pot-lùck dinner at 12:30 noon with ten ladies sitting down to a wonderful dinner. After the dinner we had an exchange exchange of gifts. At two o'clock our President Mrs. D. Youngman opened opened the meeting by wishing each one a joyful Christmas and thanking our hostess for inviting us to her comfortable cosy, home. Then we sang favourite carols from the song sheets followed by the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. Peggy Frank read the Christmas story as told in Luke 2 verses 1 - 20. The minutes were read by our secretary Mrs. Ann Dilks. The financial report was given by our treasurer Mrs. L. Downes.

Cathcart that our officers officers of the U.C.S. resmafin the same for the coming year, carried. Then each member gave a special number, Mrs. Youngman ,lold us that the tradition of giving presents at Christmas began as a celebration of* joy on that first Christmas Eve long ago. Bringing a holiday present is the perfect reason for visiting friends and relatives that you may not have seen for a long time. Whether it's something that you know-* they've always wanted, or à batch of freshly baked holiday, treats, it's just thé chance to let them know how special they are to you. . What makes Christmas giving all the more special is that it reaches beyond our immediate family and brings love and hope to those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Small children learn the joy of giving as they bring canned foods and small gifts to schools and churches, helping to make up Christmas baskets' for children in orphanages and hospitals. Miss Stewart told us the legend of the Poinsettia and each one read a poem etc. The closing hymn was, "It came upon the midnight clear." v If you wish to order, "Voice of the Pioneer," by Bill McNeil from the MacMillan Co. their new address address is 1.46 Front St, W., Suite 625, Toronto M5J 1G5. Congratulations to Robert Smuk of Kendal who was married to Susan Lees of Oshawa on October 7th, 1987. The Doctor Will See You, Now • • by Norma Jean Beck (continued from last week) Adolph's Rooster But it was the rooster that finally did it for me, Adolph Binestettner phoned to say he. was bringing a rooster into town for the doctor. I told him that was fiiie. The patients often paid their bills in farrn produce. Frequently Dr. McAllister went home after a days work with a couple of chickens dangling upside down from one hand, and a sack of potatoes over his shoulder. Adolph Binestettner came in at nboii when Dr. McAllister was out to lunch. "Tell Doc to take this rooster off my bill," requested Adolph affably, shifting a live, squawking bird from his arms into mine. I accepted it gingerly. I couldn't have been more disconcerted if lie had handed me a rattlesnake'.' My reluctance surprised surprised Adolph. "You ain't' scared of him, are you?" he asked. "No, it's quite alright," I yelped, and Adolph shrugged and went off. , At that point the rooster in my arms made a desperate last stand for freedom. Round and round and in and out of the examining rooms raced the rooster, squawking and flapping. I chased after him, ter rified that I wouldn't catch him, and more terrified still that i would. Finally I climbed up on Dr. McAllister's examining table and burst into hysterical howls. It seemed seemed the most logical thing to do under the circumstances. (continued next week) On Friday evening when Mr. and Mrs. James McCarron came hom : -, from work their snowmobile wax gone. They had left it loaded on the back of their pick-up truck when' they went to work in the morning parked in their driveway. It was a Yamaha black with orange strips on the hood. It was in perfect condition. condition. If anyone wants to sell you a snowmobile cheap, write down their number.
