2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 18, 1989 Racism does flourish There is no doubt that racism, discrimination against visable minority, does flourish in this country even though efforts efforts have been made to stem it out. It is hard to imagine however that the recent shooting deaths of blacks is motivated by racism. But such events do bring the subject of racism back to the surface as being witnessed over the past few days. Unfortunately Unfortunately the battle rages through the media with charge and counter charge. We do have sympathy for the police for they do work in an environment which few of us have any real idea. It is not a comfortable profession in many instances. Pplice must, and must be seen to be, working within the letter of the law as the rest of society. The judicial system is above any individual or any group of individuals. It's the protection of society as a whole. Open war between blacks and police will solve nothing. Nor will demonstrations or service withdrawal. It is time to talk. Racism is not a problem for just a few factions but one for the entire nation. A new centre to emerge With the approval last week of water for Newton ville by the Region of Durham a new centre of growth has been opened up for the Town of Newcastle. The population of Newtonville will rival that of the present population in Orono. The new growth for Newtonville will bleathe new life into the Newtonville area as to the school system and social fabric and most importantly it will bring a clean source of water to those now resident and those who will move into the community. There is assurance that the water supply will continue continue in a safe manner for years to come. The cost is borne by residents of Newtonville, the province province and developers. Neither the Town nor the Region have had to take funding from their treasury. There may be costs to Newcastle down the line when some of the infrastructures are required for the greater populated centre. One would hope this structure has been better better thought out than in Courtice. It didn't take long We had often wondered, but not any more, how long the Durham Recycling Centre would operate without the development of unionized staff. After all these workers were doing the same job as many of the municipal garbage employees in individual centres throighout the Region and we felt that no doubt the pay rate was much less than the municipal employees. Well it happened last week and some 33 employees of the non-profit organization are now unionized and negotiations negotiations will be underway in the near future. It has been pointed out that Durham Recycling employees have been paid some $9.00 and hour while municipal employees doing the same work were being paid upwards of $13.00 an hour. Can the Region of Durham, who certainly have their fingers in the operation of Durham Recycling, justify anything less than a rate similar to municipal employees. Fair is fair . . . but another jack in garbage costs. Kendal News Not what we have but what we use; Not what we see but what we ' choose#' These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happinéss. Not what we take, but what we give; Not what we pray but as we live- These are the things that make for peace, Both now and after time shall cease.

It was Craig French's birthday so we sang, "Happy Birthday." Birthday." Our sympathy is extended to Levina Downes on the passing away of her father Harold Little at the Golden Plough on Wednesday. The funeral was in Peterborough, at the Comstock Funeral Parlours on January 14, 1989. The scripture was Isaiah 62: 1-5; 1st Cor. 12: 1-11 and John 2: 1-11. Sermon: T.V. A line of Substance. It was 'Food Bank' Sunday. The food is delivered to the Bowman- ville Salvation Army. They sent a sent. Next Food Bank Sundây will be February 19th.

This year believe in-- This day - Every minute is an' opportunity for doing good. Uprightness... You can't go wrong, doing right. Neighbours - You can't have too many friends (continued next week) Sorry to hear that Marie Dressler's childhood home in Cobourg has burned. It was a restaurant for many years. I saw a show in which Marie Dressier was acting when I was in High School. I think it was "Tugboat Annie." From the 1989 Friendship Book of Francis Gay The young man looked down nervously at the little chapel's, congregation. congregation. He had spent hours, writing, rehearsing, and memorising memorising his sermon. Just as his tutor, the Rev. Richard Cecil, minister of Chipping Ongar, Essex, required him to do. Now, faced with the expectant listeners, the young candidate for the London Missionary Society could not remember a word! "Friends", he faltered at last, "I have forgotten what I had to say." He. fled from the pulpit and out of the chapel. What a calamity! It was his second second attempt at entering the Missionary Missionary Society, for he had already been turned down because of his tutor's report. What would happen now after all his studying, hard work and sacrifices? He was too nervous even to preach to a small congregation... Years later that same man, David Livingstone, faced unknown dangers, diseases and peril in his explorations explorations across Africa. He lectured lectured to thousands of learned men • and women during his furloughs in Britain. If Livingstone had let that small, but, to him, momentous, preaching failure influence his life he would never have become the great Christian Christian missionary and explorer he did.' Instead he put that day behind him, tried again, and won through. One of the Joys of Christmas is the Christmas mail. Letters from the East Coast and the West Coast and even Hong Kong. Maybe some of you older folk remember Angus MacLean who was Minister of Fisheries in the Deifenbaker government. Then for several years Premier of Prince Edward Island. He was an Evader. That is a pilot whose plane was caught in antiaircraft antiaircraft fire over Germany. He told his crew to bail out over Germany. They became prisoners of war. He carried the plane on into Holland then jumped from the plane before it landed. He evaded the enemy, sheltered and helped by the Dûtch people. That's a long story. His wife writes from P.E.I. and I quote from her letter December 16, 198§: "Angus and I went to Holland last May to a reunion of wartime resistance and the men they helped. We had a very busy and interesting 10 days. There were 30 in the Canadian Canadian group. The Dutch love the Canadians. They liberated them. Our visit was 1 planned around Liberation Day and the former Queen's birthday (Queen Juliana). She received us at a reception in her palace. After Holland we went off to Scotland for ten days, where Angus has relatives. We have gone back and forth for years and enjoy these visits.". Note - Angus was an Evader from June 1st till the last of September when he finally reached Gibraltar and back to England. The Dutch underground both men and women risked their' lives to «ave him and many others like him. One of the little girls present at a wedding asked, "How many wives did the minister say that man could have?" Her friend explained: "Why, one, of course." The first lit tic girl said: "I was sure 1 heard Jiini say sixteen: four better, four worse, four richer and four poorer!" Bill R's story as given in the book Silent Casualties, by William and - Jeanette Raynsford. (continued from last week) About this time Mr. Jamieson asked me if I thought I could handle another farm. 1 said yes, and so from 45 acres of working land, I would now be working 100 acres. Another team of purebred Clydesdale horses was bought. These horses, although three and five years of age, had never had a halter on them. I broke them in myself with the aid of a reliable old Clydesdale mare named Queen that we had obtained from a lumber yard. I did have some bad times with this team but I won their confidence. confidence. In August I received my school report and congratulations on passing passing my exams. However, I knew that I had no money to continue school, as 1 would be expected to pay board in town plus other expenses, expenses, such as school-supplies and clothes. During the year 1 received a hurried hurried call from the social worker from the Soldiers' Aid. A neighbour had written a letter to the Commission stating that I was being overworked, not receiving enough food, and being exposed to some dangerous situations (although I had dever complained to anyone about this.) However, I was very grateful that I was to receive some consideration at last. But on this visit the worker informed informed me that my mother had died.

Still, it took / me a long time to get over the shock regarding my mother, for though she had been in hospital for years, her health had improved, and I felt I should have been able to visit her.
