Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor Praise the Grass Root movement The Region of Durham could, in no way, buffet Metro Toronto over their reluctance to bring in a recycling program in the city if it had not been for a small band of volunteers, who over the past 12 to 15 years, promoted with their own time as volunteers a recyling program and the formation of Durham Recycling Centre. Often thought to be kooks and idealists this band of concerned citizens has, in itself, placed Durham, near the top in any recycling program that exists in the Province. They were far out in'front of the politicians who now can take the glory. The same is true in Northumberland County where recycling is now in existence in a number of areas. Here the program program got its start through high school students and finally by an individual who has carried on to promote the cause of recycling. This individual recently stated that the story from some municipalities is somewhat the same, "We agree to let you carry out recycling as long as it does not costs us anything. TheDurham Recycling Centre is still the mainstay of the Region of Durham recyling program but, of course, now has had capital funding from the Region and other sources. It still operates somewhat separate from the Region. But there, are other groups who today carry the ball especially for the environment and have done so in the past. It was a number of years ago when the Town of Newcastle was being being petitioned to allow drop-off Centres throughout the Town and such has been instrumental in moving the public and politicians politicians to move on the issue. The politicians, who are expected to be leaders and give direction, appear to now wait to place a band-aid on a problem. In garbage the band-aid is not big enough. One may question in what direction Durham is really going. going. At last week's Town of Newcastle meeting Gary Herrema, chairman of the Region, suggested that Newcastle pass a resolution resolution to the effect recommending to Durham that Durham cease negotiations with Metro on a joint disposal site. Newcastle were assured the rest of Durham was behind such a move. Then came Wednesday and the Region was not about to cease negotiations with Metro but rather to look to Metro to solve the Region's dire problem. Leave the Brock West site some ten months early so that Durham may have a five year time period to use the site for Durham's use. The Region of Durham is at a point where the volunteer's placed them through their efforts and no further. There's some in every crowd The Ontario Community Newspaper Association along with the Canadian Airlines International as patrons promote the annual Ontario Junior Citizens program and our readers can take part in this program and have until October 31st to do so. Its but a matter of nominating the kid next door or down the street who has contributed in some form to the betterment of his or her community or to others with some form of assistance to individuals or groups. The act does not have to be earth- shattering but one of concern,and involvement. Up to twelve kids, six to eighteen, will be recipients of an award as will one group of kids. The awards will be presented by the governor general at the Ontario Newspapers Association annual annual meeting in March. Do your part for that deserving kid in the Orono area with forms available at the Orono. Times Office. PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF • Lornâ Atkins has been persistent in her efforts to help beautify Orono with road side trees and this week announces that both the Town and the Region are making some planting this week in Orono. Well done, the effort is certainly xyorthwhile and something that can be enjoyed for years to come. The Police Trustees had^such a program years ago and if one was to remove the sixty to seventy-five trees planted during that period Orono would be quite bleak to say the least. Thank you - Lorna. KENDAL NEWS The Water Fowl ' by Bryant Whither midst falling dew, While glow the heavens with the last steps of day, Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue Thy solitary way? Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong. As darkly-painted on the crimson sky I by figure floats along. Seekest thoü the plashy brink Of weedy lake, or marge of river 1 wide Or where the rocking billows rise and sink On the chafed ocean side? There is a Power whose care Teaches thy way along that pathless coast The desert and illimitable air Lone wandering, but not lost All day thy wings have fanned, At that far height, the cold thin atmosphere; Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land, Though the dark night is near. And soon that toll shall end; Soon shall thou find a summer home and rest And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall bend Soon o'er thy sh*'hcd nest. Thou'rt gone; the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed UP thy form; yet on my heart Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart; He, who from zone to zpne, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I must tread alone, Will lead my steps aright. Large flocks of geese have been seen going south these misty mornings. mornings. Sunday morning was a perfect 'Indian Summer' day. Some members that we haven't seen since June were back to church. Icecream and cookies were enjoyed after the service in the Sunday School so we might meet the folks and their parents. This was a special Sunday; Induction Induction of Sunday School teachers. The bulletins were printed by Ron Phillips with a special autumn scene added. The choir sang, "Sweet hour of prayer." Scripture, James 4: 13-17 and 5: 7-11; Mark 9: 38-50. Sermon: Our Work. World Wide Communication next Sunday October 2nd. Thanksgiving Services October 9th. Kendal Anniversary October 16th with Rev. Norman MacKenzie as guest speaker. Kendal Kendal bazaar is November 12th from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. The Frank Manning Tobacco Farm at Kendal has been sold. On Saturday, September 24, 1988 all the tobacco machinery was auctioned auctioned off to a hugh crowd. One man said there were more cars in Kendal than he had ever seen before. It was the end of an era. All the tobacco farms around Kendal have ceased growing tobacco. Some are now growing grain, some potatoes, some are selling sod etc. This Manning Farm will probably become a housing housing development. Other tobacco farms had been in production several years. The growers had come to Canada from Virginia and North Carolina. They had to build large green houses in Canada and transplant the tobacco plants from the greenhouses to the fields. This required a lot of hand labour in the beginning. It was hard, hot, tiring work. They paid big wages. In the summer children could pull suckers from the root of the tobacco plants as easily as an adult. They were paid so much a row. Some learned to work very fast, if they could endure the dust, and the extreme heat. One summer most of the children quit but Gary McMackin stuck it out. He was only only eight years old but he made $168.00 during July and August. One of the first things he bought was a new bicycle. Gary is a lawyer today. Mr. Bill Mercer grew his First Tobacco Crop in 1947. Everything seemed to be favourable that year. The land was new, it seemed to rain almost every other day in the growing season so he harvested a very large crop of first quality tobacco. However, the second year turned hot and dry. Many of the plants had to be replaced so he realized that he must irrigate. So he put in an irrigation system. There was an abundance of water in the big creek to the east of, the Kendal farm. That was a cold task for the men that were hired to move the sprayers from row to row_ in the evening. 1 The skilled workers were the tiers. They received the highest wages when the crop was being hung to dry in the kiln.,One kiln of tobacco was worth $1,000. Frost and hail was always a threat. When Bill Mercer's health failed, Eddy Couroux took over. Then Allan Foster purchased it. He sold to Frank Manning who sold all the machinery on September 24, 1988. One new Canadian that became a tobacco grower said "Big roast , meat, all gone today, more meat tomorrow, all eat. My wife, she too good a woman to kill." He had had enough of growing tobacco. . Now that school has begun again watch out for scabies (body lice). The children can get them from the toilet seat. They are a form of life and must be smothered. Do your part to make Kendal and the surrounding area beautiful. Buy tulip and daffodil bulbs now. The sooner you plant them the finer they'll look next spring. You'll be proud of them. Those who bring sunshine to others can not keep it from themselves. Barrie. "Ever bothered with tramps out your way?" "No, I have a sign on the gate reading: "We are vegetarians but our dog isn't." Trainman - "This train goes to Vancouver and points west." Old Lady -, Well I want a train that goes to Calgary and I don't care which way it points." Buy heavy, clear, plastic for the covers of your children's school books so they will last longer. The titles can be seen through the plastic. I was walking a little more slowly than ususal, admiring the skill of a guide dog ahead of me as it gently steered its blind mistress to the sloping sloping curb at the street corner. That was how I, came to hear this of reassuring gallantry. Elderly rqan: "Mrs. King! How are you? That's quite a wind, isn't it!" Blind woman,: "Yes, Mr. Stephens, it is gusty.'!, Elderly man: "But your hair still looks, very nice." ' .. , R.S.C. Because of the. hot, dry summer vegetables will be in short supply. Be sure none are vyasted. Perhaps there is a couple of potatoes left over from dinner, grate them into the soup for supper. Use, a double boiler and your soup will never boil or burn: From an old Telegram magazine: Hew Wood is a wonderful example example of the name that makes a complete complete sentehce. Not so flashy as my all-time favourite, Iona Victory Bond, but still wonderful. For Hew Wood I swap Ernest Drudge. And to the photographer who contributed contributed his coùsin Pete Moss, I give Ole Kidder, which reads better than it sounds.
