Editor III! ' Fashioned to your liking If one was interested in local entertainment one would have been kept busy over the past seven to ten days catching all the events of entertainment in the community. And to say the least one would not be disappointed in any of the events. It would all start with the annual Orono Figure Skating Club carnival on April 9th. From out viewpoint it was one of the better carnivals to be staged on ice at the arena and possibly this can be attributed to the fact that many of the young skaters now compete through! the skating season in various programmed events. Certainly the senior skaters are not older but possibly younger than they were in the past. The two precision team of skaters from Whitby were well worth attending in itself. They are two of the top precision teams in Ontario and their presentations were a joy. Last Thursday two Clarke School groups along with Sylvia Parker presented a fashion show at the school and here again the audience was treated to an entertaining outing and an excellent show. Add to this the dinner murder on Saturday evening, a barrel of fun, for another 150 group and the entertainment spotlight continued in the Orono community. It was not over with the Saturday night event for on Sunday Sunday evening the curtain went up on a musical event in the Orono United Church. It was a commendable program and as the other local events displayed some of the area's outstanding talent. It is interesting that the talent in most of the events were from the area and it is quite evident that the depth of talent in the community has great depth and variety. The past days have also noted that the community is an active community with vitality and a will to accomnlish with a form of excellence The crunch is on Garbage has not started to pile up in backyards or along the roadside but time is running out as to even a short-term solution solution to the garbage problem. It was a year ago that we had predicted that as time progressed progressed the Laidlaw landfill site, north-west of Newtonville, became a greater possibility. This has not lessened opver the past year but in fact is a greater possibility. We all know there is no easy solution to garbage disposal and judging from the four years Northumberland County has already spent in search for a site Durham Region could be facing the same problem. Even though Northumberland County last week, made a choice of a site east of Cobourg there still is no assurance that this site will be used. Halton Region on the other hand has spent $18 million and is still treading water. Of interest locally is the fact that the Region of Durham is to consider its agreement to remain with Metro Toronto today, today, Wednesday and there is support to break away from Metro and to go it alone. There are a number of issues involved in the decision which could turn the final decision in either direction. If however the Region decides to go it alone it leaves the Laidlaw site, at least on a temporary basis as the only possible solution. The Region does not have the time to do otherwise and we suspect at this time do not have the funds to develop their own site. The question then becomes how do you define shortterm. shortterm.

Sermond: "Crown Him with Many Crowns." The flowers at the altar were in memory of Mabel Elliott. Mr. Ralph Geach is recovering in Oshawa Memorial Hospital after a "hip replacement, a couple of weeks ago. We wish him a perfect recovery. On Sunday afternoon this writer went back to Peterborough to a beautiful Rest Home there, with Mr. & Mrs. J. Peacock, to visit Mrs. Julia Jackson. She looks well and was exceedingly glad to see us. It was a very hot day and Mother said to her son, "You say Grace, Johnny.'.' "What shall 1 say?" "Just say what you have heard me, say." So Johnny said, "Good Lord, why did I invite all these people?" Our special speaker for the first Sunday in May is the Rev. Clifford Waite of Oakwood, who writes, "The Pastor's Diary" in Tillson- burg Press. Perhaps you might be interested in what he has written under Monday. I sat beside the Ontario Ontario Dairy Princess, Gail Lewis of Middlesex County, at a recent milk producers banquet, where I spoke on, "The Threats to the Dairy Man." Reviewed the serious plight of farmers today: plunging farmland values; increased number " of bankruptcies; 34 percent of farm deaths through suicide; the threat of free trade to the dairy farmers; the continued Canadian policy of cheap food; the progress of GAT; the problems of testing corn with growth hormones; how uneasy dairymen feel about tinkering with the body chemistry of their animals; the difficulties of dealing with the, health of their cows; the importance of higher production of each animal through nutrients, dry foddei* and concentrates; the uncertain future of the family farm and so on. Then gave all the reasons why farmers can have a solid faith in the farm industry. (Which actually are more than some people imagine). A good night spent with the salt of the earth, hard working and dedicated producers of our most important food commodities. Each entry in his diary is entirely different: Wednesday: A few pert sayings I've come upon lately grace the page of todays diary entry: If God had intended intended us to fly, He would have made it easier for us to get to the airport. Avoid playing leapfrog with a unicorn. Good character like good soup is made at home. Opportunity Opportunity knocks but once; temptation leans on the doorbell. We have three types of people in Church; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. happened. Nothing is more frustrating than to find you are locked.out of your own house. I brought my neighbour home to discover, that the door she had planned to leave unlocked, had locked behind her and she had no key. Always leave a key hidden somewhere outside. The Kendal Women's Institute met in the Kendal Sunday School room on April the fourteenth with eleven members present. They had just completed quilting a beautiful Dresden Plate Quilt; for the Penny Sale on May the seventh. The President opened the meeting with the singing of the "Ode" and repeating the Mar'y Stewart collect. The District Annual is on May 4th, a Wednesday, commencing commencing at 9:15 a.m. in Maple Grove. Our part was arranged. The Penny Collection was taken and eleven members paid their membership. Then plans ■ were made for the Penny Sale. On May 7th at two in the afternoon in the Orange Hall there will be a sale of home baking. Tickets may be placed at that time. Admission in the evening will be $2.00. The meeting closed with j O'Canada. Lunch was provided by Mrs. M. Stevens. Next meeting is to be at the home of Mrs. J. Dykeman. When we think of St. George whose festival day is this Saturday, April 23rd we almost certainly think of him, in connection with the dragon, he is supposed to have slain. The Emperor Constantine built a church over the saint's grave and declared him the guardian of seaside towns, ships channels and dangerous waters, hence the St. George's Channel between England and Wales. We owe so much to those who protect oitr shores, fish in the deep seas, and bring supplies across perilous waters, that we might well give this St. George's Day a rather fresh angle by giving special thought and prayer. "For those in peril on the sea." by Francis Gay Now is the best time of year to observe the birds before the trees get their leaves. That is from now on till May the tenth when the Baltimore Orioles will be back. He waits till May 10th. Then there will be enough leaf cover 'to hide his orange cogt and black wings. I expect expect the scarlet tanager Comes about the same time. One spring I saw a half dozen scarlet tanagerg (just the males) resting in our bushes for a half hour then They went on north. A good bird'book is a must. Mrs. Ann Powell gave me her husband's "A Field Guide to the Birds" by Peterson. This book is a second edition edition sponsored by National Audubon Society 1947. It gives the coloured pictures and description as well as the voice. This evening as I walked past my maple tree I saw a flock of blackbirds and some brown birds. I wouldn't have looked a second time only I heard o-ka-leeee. Then I knew it was the ' red-winged blackbirds and their brown mates that have well defined striping below. I felt like the poet who wrote; The red-winged black bird brings My lost youth back to me When I hear in the swale From an old fence rail , O-ka-leee, O-ka-leee, O-ka-leee.
