2-Orono Wethly Time», Wedncrifoy, February 17,19M It makes a difference Municipal and provincial as well as federal governments governments pass laws, regulations and by-laws to control certain aspects within their jurisdiction intended to benefit the general public as a whole. In most cases these are well thought-out using reason and with an objective in mind. Often however they are critized, and sometime critizes bitterly especially when one becomes caught up in doing other than the law may state. This certainly has been the case in Orono as to parking regulations but this is not only akin to the Orono area for other areas have similar problems. A common by-law, and one which reaches back into a number of years, even long before the Regional setup, is the regulation banning overnight parking on streets during the winter months. It came as a result of snowplowing and preparing the street for traffic flow following a snowfall. It is next to impossible for the municipality to -in any kind of job in snowplowing if the streets are lined with vehicles. Orono downtown was a prime example following the Friday storm of last week. Surprisingly there was but one car narked in the business section when it was plowed and the Region was able to undertake a good job in clearing the travel portion and the parking areas of the road of snow. If the street had been lined with cars it would still have been impossible or next to impossible even now to make use of the facilities in commerce that the downtown provides. A good case for a good by-law. Will we over react? Two cases within fifteen days of escape from half-way houses has called into question the parole system in which these houses play a part in introducing back to society those who have almost served their sentence on a confiction of one nature or another. The circumstance and possible outcome of the first incidence is most regretable and could in no way be condoned. Reason must however prevail and although a review of the system should well be undertaken the purpose of the half-way house would appear to be sound and of benefit to society as a whole. One could hardly reason that dropping criminals off at the door of prison as a reasonable alternative. The half-way house does have its purpose.

Herbert Brokering After the blizzard of Friday and Saturday, Sunday, February the 14th was a perfect winter day.

He was an Anglican minister who travelled all over England on horseback preaching in the open air. After his death his followers formed the Methodist Church.
