The newlyweds are now residing in Orono. There are eccentrics % Whether its newspaper editors,' euchre players, Or a host of other specific groups there are always one. or two eccentrics among the group. This also holds true for birdwatchers^ birdwatchers^ These eccentrics always seem to go somewhat beyond the norm in one form or another. An example surely would be a dedicated group of birdwatchers in Peteborough who left the city at 3:00 a.m. a couple of years: ago to travel to Windsor on the hope of seeing a Green-backed Towhefc which had been feeding at a particular particular feeder. The Peterborough group had been allotted a fifteen nunute period starting at 9:00 a.m. to view the feeder from the owners livingroom. v Incidentally they were successful in catching a glimpse of the bird. That's a step beyond the norm as far as I would be concerned. A recent event closer to home however may also be considered somewhat beyond the norm. Since Christmas, Chris here at the office, often swings the coffee break conversation, or I suppose 1 do too, to that of birds. This has resulted front the fact that her husband, Bob, has taken a keen interest in birds following a Christmas gift of a feeder front Chris. We get all the reports of new sightings which have included the usual as well as a flock of Cedar Waxwings and more recently a V (pecker. * Orono Hockey Mothers promote fund raising I had commented that suet is a * good attraction for Woodpeckers as well as for Chickadees. Having relayed this piece of information to Bob, Chris was asked if she would get some suet which she did at.Cyr's along with a purchase of. $10.00 worth of cut-up chicken, ", It all went into the home freezer along with a message to Bob that the shot had been purchased and ' was in the freezer. Apparently it didn't take Bob long before he had climbed the tree in the.backyard to dangle the suet on the end of a string'to entice more birds. The incident was forgotten until Chris was preparing to serve chicken for dinner and somehow or other the chicken had disappeared from the freezer. I suppose by now you have guessed guessed the answer. Yes, the suet was in the freezer and the chicken was dangling on a string high in the tree and in full view of the kitchen, window. window. Bob is reallynot admitting to any mixup on his part. He-now states, "If you want to attract a chicken hawk, you hang up chicken not suet and this is my purpose." Maybe we should not call Bob an eccentric . . .rather he is resourceful.

With the-operating costs for hockey steadily increasing, this Letter to Editor Roy: It was a pleasure to meet you on ' the Darlington Tour last Friday.. More so, it was nice to chat about the Orono Youth Theatrp project of some years ago. I was close when 1 said it was '69 or '70 when my daughter "Tigger" was there....it was 1970, summer.

Then here and there put in little stories of interest that grandpa tells you, for example when Charlie Thompson a lad of 8 years was going north to school he walked through the Elliott farm yard and the Elliott boys told him that a new baby had been born there last night. So he went in to the house to see it. The baby's mother, Eliza Elliott, said "This one's for you Charlie. Her name is Mary." So from that day on he thought of Mary as his ■ girl and when she was eighteen he- married her. Her mother said, "O, Charlie she's so young." He replied, "I'm big and strong, I'll take care of her." That was rny grandfather. Excuse this personal history. I write it simply to help you begin your personal history. If you begin, it will be quite easy for someone else to complete the rest. Sad was the young man whose girl refused to marry him for religious reasons. He was broke and she worshipped money. Keep a shovel, a snow scraper and a parka with a hood iri the back of your car. Last year 1 came upon a young man stuck' in the snow trying trying to shovel himself out with a hockey, stick. , All the roads are snow ploughed on a Sunday morning but Kendal streets.'

Letter to Editor I would like to voice my objection objection to the proposed expansion of the landfill site owned and operated by Laidlaw Waste'Systems. My wife and two children ages 4 and 18 months, live on Newtonville Road, 1 Vi miles directly east of the site. » Previously we lived in downtown Oshawa. We have been in our present present house approximately 18 months. months. Some of the reasons wq moved were to get away from çar and truck traffic, city noise and to bring my children up in a better and healthier environment. In the short time we have been here in this community we have had to put up with the threat of a nuclear waste storage facility (which we opposed) arid now we have a proposal to expand the already busy dump. I do not want an increase of garbage garbage trucks passing in front of my door, nor do I want to have my well threatened. I must also pay for garbage pickup, pickup, even with our high taxes, so why should I have to have other people's garbage dumped literally in my backyard. I realize that garbage must be put somewhere but we have had our share of the trucks, bulldozers, seagulls, the garbage flying around Clarke 4th line and possible health hazards in our wells. Newtonville, Crooked Creek, Starkville and other small communities communities in the area, think we should have our say as to what happens happens to our health and welfare. T.
