2-Orono Weekly limes, Wednesday, September. 21, 1988 ©rotto Weefelp Stmeg Second Class Mail Registration Number 1)00368 Published Every Wednesday at the otfice of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor No One Could Have Said It Better Millionaire developer Robert Campeau, a long-time liberal, delighted the annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, a somehwat free enterprise and conservative conservative group, when he made his pitch to vote Conservative in the upcoming election. Campeau was adamant that the Conservatives would follow through on carrying oput free trade with the United States and in the meantime cut spending on social programs. Campeau is one of the nation's most successful businessman. Campeau also claimed that the deficit was the major problem facing Canada and that the conservatives were best equipped to reduce this deficit by swiftly cutting welfare and health-care spending. There is little doubt that the Chamber would support Campeau's view and with free trade now ell in the offing and with pressure from the U.S. one might well see such action taken if the conservtives return with a majority in the federal government. What change in Sunday shopping One may ask what change will really come about through the proposed Sunday shopping legislation to come before the legislature sometime in mid October. Certainly when passed, and no doubt it is going to be passed, the onus is directly on the municipal councils. But this is not altogether new for such councils in the past have been able to denote certain areas as tourist areas thus allowing a wide variety of shop to remain open on the Sabbath. But certainly certainly the new legislation will be a headache for municipalities in many instances. We do not expect to see a great surge at least in the short term but Sunday shopping will erode into the system as shoppers demand further services on Sunday and councils give way. If I had a vote on the Sunday shopping issue I would likely vote to control further opening of the day of rest. But here one has to be mindful that when going golfing on Sunday we do exoect the greenkeppers to have been the greens prior to our arrival, the snack bar open and, of course the pro shop open to buy more balls. We could go through a list of activities we might partake of on Sundays and find that even other than the necessities of police, fire, hospitals, doctors, etc. we still want a fairly open Sunday. What then about the shopper who might, find just as much pleasure in shopping on Sunday as those who play golf, go fishing or any other activity. How much is Sunday a family day over that of any other day of the week. The credibility of the family is based on quality not quantity. Its hard to have Sunday both ways, open or closed, but that it is today. NEW BASEMENT TILE FLOOR * * Work has been completed in the installation of a new tile floor in the basement rooms of the Orono Town Hall much enhancing enhancing the appearance in the downstairs area'. Letter to the Editor: Ijear Mr. Forrester: '. Your readers may be interested in thé contents of a letter co-signed by 8 community groups addressed to" the members of Metro Council and its Works Committee. These groups stretch from Newcastle to Markham and include the Courtice and Area Community Associations and the Committee of Clarke Constituents. Constituents. ' This 'Open Letter' outlines a, viable alternative to establishing a Metro Interim Landfill site. Each of the groups recognize that it is more important to eliminate the need for such a site rather than worry about where it is going to be. The attached report outlines how this could be achieved through a massive recycling recycling effort by Metro, not the tokenism displayed in their recent announcement of a 'Blue Box' program program for the city beginning this month. On September 16th, Metro ( iiuiii il divided not to locale their nil'-rim ile. in Seal borough (the.. That means thbt Newcastle is very much back in contention. In recent months, first Clarke Township and then Courtice have been terrorized by Metro Works Dept. Throughout this process, Metro has only been looking at alternate sites. It has never seriously looked at other methods of solving their garbage crisis. . Metro could eliminate the need for an Interim site that will hot receive the full scrutiny of the Environmental Environmental Assessment Act (they are running out of time). But in order to achieve this, they would have to declare the equivalent of the 'War Measures Act' on garbage. If . Metro's neighbours will not allow themselves to be dumped on, out of necessity, Metro could become a leader in garbage management - despite themselves! Yours truly, David Scott Chairman, Committee of Clarke Constituents, ICO. Box 128 « Newcastle, < )ul. KENDAL NEWS The call back I must go back to -the coast again To the mountains and the sea And all I want is my own wee house Near the shade of the rowan tree, And the tall firs, the grey hills and the white gulls crying The thunder of the surf, and the oak leaves flying. I must go back to the coast again To the camp fires by the trail; The driftwood and the boom logs, And small hills of rock and shale; The old friends, the new friends, and the happy times together; The hand clasps and the warm smiles, No matter what the weather. I must go back to the coast again; There is something calling me. If the truth be known, my heart is there Near the mountain and the sea. Jane Dale B.C. On Sunday morning September 18th the choir sang, "Have Thine Own Way, Lord." The children's story was told by Mrs. Joyce Boudreau. The scripture reading was Job 28: 20-28; James 3: 13-18; Mark 9: 30-37. The sermon was by Father Dick Walsh. We were indeed sorry that the attendance was so small. However, if he looked in at the Park as he passed by and saw it full. of cars and people he might guess that it was a baseball tournament tournament and teams were there from far away so church was forgotten, Rev. Bryan Ransom was at St. Francis of Assisi. Let us hope they weren't at the tournament at Kendal.

' ' he asked a woman who pumped the well for him. "'Bout 70 years," she replied. He looked around at the land and said half- facetiously, "Why?" "Well," she replied, "nice thing about living 'round here is, if you can't get what you want you can get along without it pretty good." Mrs. Margaretta Stevens was back to the farm this weekend but she says that she is very "wobbly". Of course she will return to Toront o with Dorothy.

David Thompson - He Looked at the Stars by Hubert Evans (continued from last week) The way fortunes were made was also thought to be "no concern of government." In the year 1784 there was no Charles Dickens to remind remind the selfish that mankind is your business. The lowly were taught to "be content with that estate to which God has called you." Gambling was fashionable, fortunes were being made in the slave trade, and liqupr traffic. Gin shop offered old and young alike drunkenness for one penny, dead- drunkenness for tu'pence with free straw to lie on. The penalty for petty petty theft was death, and the convicted convicted were sold to the colonies tor twenty pounds, there to slave for the remainder of their lives. Fortunately for young David he was leaving all this when he stepped aboard the company's' Prince Rupert at St. Sa\iouiDeck tic.tr London Bridge on that May das of 1.84. Many weeks later lie landed at Fort Churchill. At various times, officers of the Company, stationed at trading posts, helped him with his education, Far to the west, at one of these, Mr. Philip Tumor, author of the Nautical Almanac David had studied at school taught him more of surveying. Before long David was making surveys of his own. Later, during the boundary dispute with the young United States of America, David Thompson's Thompson's accurate maps played an important important part in the final settlement. More years passed until he stepped into the pages of history books - and became largely forgotten. But of recent years David Thompson Thompson has been stepping out of the history books and on to the broad stage of Canada's development. Among the rivers he mapped is the Columbia- 1 Because of its growing importance importance it might better have been named the Thompson, instead of the two lesser rivers, the North and South Thompson, which bear his name, . David Thompson and his voyageurs braved the Columbia from near its source down to its lower reaches, mapping it as they went- A look at the map of British Columbia reveals how dangerous a venture this was. The Columbia is the largest river flowing into the Pacific Ocean from the western continent. It is one of the world's greatest sources of electric electric power. More than thirty percent, percent, of all possible electric power which the'U.S.A. can get is on the Columbia. The total length of this river is slightly over 1,200 miles. But its source is in British Columbia, and by far the most of its waters come from the province. Farther down the river are the great U.S. power stations of Grand Coulee, Bonneville and'others. But the tremendous ' flow of water comes from Canada, and growing young Canada intends to harness, this flow for th'e use of its people and its industry. Some of our engineers' want much of this flow turned into the Fraser'River. Canadian Canadian and U.S. officials, have held many meetings over this and other plans for u^ing this great Canadian , river Which David Thompson mapped mapped so long ago. What the outcome of these many meetings will be has still to be decided, decided, but already it is clear that Canada does not intend to give ■away its birthright. The great river which David Thompson mapped, and which he conquered in his frail canoe, means much to Canada. As this river is harnessed, fortunes will be made and life will become easier for thousands of Canadians. Yet the man who mapped it lived a life of hardship and died in poverty and blindness. The man why looked at the stars as he made his maps in lonely camps and trading posts should never be forgotten'. Note: This is an old clipping. Today Today the United States wants to buy the Fresh Spring Water of the , '• umbia River to sell to the pcop.^ t' the large cities of America for drinking water.
