2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, February 3, 1988 Who is advising Peterson? What ever made the Peterson liberal government at Queen's Park think that they could shove-off the Sunday shopping issue to the local municipalities? If Peterson does have advisers, and we are sure he does, they had better rethink some of their advice. It is true that municipalities often seek greater power in making decisions and point out that they are closer to the general public than the province but, in the great majority, the municipalities are not about to hane onto the Sundav shopping hot potato and well they should not. There is also the fact that 1988 is an election year and with this the potato gets hotter. The province contends that as far as Sunday shopping is concerned the requirements differ from municipality to municipality and thus the responsibility for a decision on the issue rests with the municipalities. This may be so if the issue is considered only as to the aspects of commerce. The other side of the coin and this now includes the view from most of the churches the issue is a moral issue and one that affects the family unit. On this basis it is a provincewide provincewide concern and we believe that it is here that the issue rests. It is often pointed out that the polls favour Sunday shopping but we wonder if the polls were to ask, "Are you willing to work on Sundays?" just how this may affect the polls. If its good enough to use other services on Sunday are you not willing to offer your services also on Sunday? 1 The provincial scheme slates municipality against municipality and pressure would be gréât when neighbouring commercial outlets were allowed to stay open While just across the road another had its commercial doors closed. Further the.provincial possible plan of passing regulations regulations that employees could not be forced to work on Sunday or that time and a half would have to be paid for Sunday work just does not wash. Those that now work on Sundays in recreational professions or labour and those in services be they municipal or others could hardly be excluded from the provincial legislation. Police and all other services would next cry for time and a half on Sunday. What's good for one is good for another. The whole thing would add additional cost to the taxpayer and the general public. It's a provincial matter and it should stay with the province. province. The question, however, still remains, "Who is advising Peterson". Do we need an all-news channel? If Peterson has problems with Sunday shopping then he should take a lesson of the handling of the CRTC decision to grant an all-news TV channel to CBC by the adriot Brian, Mulroney and the conservatives in Ottawa. Faced with a conservative revolt over the CRTC decision decision and the fact the licence did not go to a private Edmonton firm Mulroney wàs able to bring in Flora MacDonald to put the CBC on hold in advancing toward the operation of the licence until at least .September. She also called for private participation with the publicly-owned CBC. The fact that the CRTC was not allowing the licence until September gave the opening for the federal conservative to put on the hold, and there is no doubt that this hold is nothing other than a political decision and political interference interference in the operation pf the CRTC. The conservatives have always wanted a strangle hold on the publically-owned CBC. Flora MacDonald speaks of a new broadcasting act which is to come forth and that the all-news channel should be a consideration within the confines of the new act. Çut she Has been speaking of a new broadcasting act for almost three years •'with no evidence of such coming to fruitation. As far aS private participation with the CBC this has already been considered and there is just nothing for the private broadcaster working with the public system when the public system holds the licence. The question, we suppose, is really, "Do we need an all-naws channel?" If récent history is any indication such a need is doubtful. After all Pay-TV has been a disaster in Canada as far as investment is concerned and as far as programming,. programming,. Where Pay TV has survived repeats are the order of the day. Would not an ajl-news channel be just as boring. Take the CBC or CTV, events on the national scene are often repeâted on the local news. Canada cannot emulate the United States with our meagre population of 25 million. Before we leave this issue we wish to put a plug in for the CBC, a system that provides better Canadian television than does any of the private stations. We could suggest that the money going into the all-news channel would likely be more appreciated if added to their existing programming.

KENDAL NEWS The following poem was contributed contributed by "Mick" Peters near Oakwood, whose happy outlook on life is undergirded by his deep and _ abiding faith in the goodness of God. Don't look- for the flaws as you . go through life, And even if you do find 'em 'Tis wise and kind to be somewhat blind and look for The virtures behind fern Each days a flew beginning, So start with a smile Enjoy the art of living. Do things that are worthwhile Like living and forgiving And having time to spare To make some person happy By showing that you care. Sunday, January 30th we had a second January thaw.

The first time I saw husky dogs was in Hudson in 1938. I was coming coming home to dinner. The snow was very deep but a team and sleigh had been through and I was walking'in one track. The snow was coming down thick and heavy. Then I heard, "Mush, Fred, mush," and four large dogs bolted past in the other wheel track pulling a long dog-sled laden with freight. The driver followed running on snow shoes. It's likely he was heading for Red Lake 169 miles north over the rivers and lakes. That same evening I was coming home shortly after 5 p.m. I came upon a one-horse bob sleigh with a load of fire wood. The driver would yell, "Get-up" the horse would take one leap and be completely stuck again. There were about ten or - more men that had just emerged from the 'Offices' looking on. Along came Mrs. Firchuk, a Ukraine woman. She went up to the horse that was stuck in the heavy, deep, snow. She grabbed it by the tail and yaw-heaved on its tail with all her might, giving out a loud yell at the, same time. The horse gave a mightiy effort and was gone, load and alL You should have heard those city slickers laugh. They had never thought of that method, but it worked. My grandfather was coming from Port Hope away back in the eighties. When he came to the Roseberry Hill the,re was a whole line up of horses and bob sleighs all. stuck in the deep snow. He got out' and started walking up the hill. To each driver he said, "Get out and tramp the snow in front of your horses." It wasn't long before,they were all moving Up the hill. Perhaps some of you heard Market Place, January 26th on Tuesday night Channel 5. A young man told how he was losing motor , control of his feet thus tripping but when tie began to lose motor control control of his speech he went to doctors. doctors. One doctor suggested mineral poisoning. He went over the minerals and when he named aluminum, the young man said I always use an aluminum soap. It seemed that enough aluminum entered through the pores on his face to cause his trouble. ■ Perhaps thirty years ago Marion McKeivey told me that a family in Kirby bought a new aluminum dish. They always made their oatmeal porridge at night, like I do. Then when the men got up, they put water in the bottom of the double boiler and set the porridge on the front of the stove, before they went to the barn. However, after the porridge porridge sat all night in the new aluminum dish, then was heated, they began to complain about not feeling well. They felt that anything left sitting in aluminum was not good. A New York scientist cooked tomatoes in an aluminum dish and other tomatoes in a pyrex dish then tested them. Those cooked in aluminum had' twice as much aluminum as those cooked in glass. They had absorbed it from the dish.. Scientists are now testing aluminum to see if it has any connection connection with Alzheimer's disease.- Alyminum is put in a lot of our food for various reasons. The, speaker on Market Place named some of the foods. I read the ingredients ingredients on my baking powder tin and it said "Aluminum 1 Sulphate." I never leave any food sitting in an aluminum kettle. If your aluminum dish has become discoloured just cook some rhubarb in ,it (of course then throw out the rhubarb). There must have been a chemical reaction to make it so bright. Aluminum can be toxic. A new recruit in the check out line in civilian clothes was asked by the pretty cashier if he had any identification verifying that he was in the service. The young man replied, "Yes" and, leaning towards her, took her hand and placed it atop his closely shaven head. Three hundred churches spoke against Sunday shopping in Toronto Toronto Sunday, for sacred and humanitarian reasons. A spoonful of brewers yeast each morning in hot water is a proven help in preventing colds.
