2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 15, 1989 <©rono ®BeeMp Stmes Second Class Mall Registration Number 000388 Published Every Wednesday at theoffice of Publication II n Street, Orono R»y 1. Forrester. Editor ,. 7, - J Who cares really? Phillipe Rushton, a psychology professor at Western University, London, created what appears as a conrtoversary when he released his paper claiming that there is a difference between between the oriental, white and black races as to intelligence and other aspects. His paper has made much for the news media and academics and even this week a gallop poll has been published as to the thoughts of Canadians in general to his findings. The search for racial differences in intelligence is possibly an interesteing intellectual exercise to persons interesting in such matters. Resulkts however will make little difference to anyone. Even should difference be proven in intelligence concerned concerned people would only ask . . "So what". What difference would it make for reasonable people in the things they do. The difference does exist within the races themselves and there has always been someone at the top of the class in any portion portion of the educational system... and of course always someone at the bottom of the class. We might ask has it made a difference to our way of life over the past decades. All we can s:ay is "So what". Working the averages This month all in the Orono telephone exchange of the Bell system are being questioned as to the extention of basic telephone service to include Oshawa. Similar surveys are also being being taken in many other areas such as Whitby where the basic service would be extended to include Toronto. Certainly it is not a free service and there is a price attached. attached. Orono residential telephone subsreibers will pay an additional additional $1.65 a month for the extension to Oshawa. Those in Whitby will pay an additional $11.25 a month to be able to reach Toronto without a long distance charge. Business phones in Orond will pay an additional $10.10 a month for the extension of the service if it should go ahead, an increase of almost fifty percent. According to Bejl 75 percent of all telephone subscribers on the Orono exchange make at least one call a month to Oshawa. It is rather a scanty statistic of the some 1400 customers in the area but is is a basis that is a requirement of the CRTC before Bell could make such an approach as to extend the basic calling area. At least in this case the individual does have a vote by using using the survey card and denoting their wish. This has not been the case when it comes to Cable TV where the CRTC make a decision based solely on the companies request. Now Cable TV subscribers are finding that service is being extended and cost continue to climb without having any say in the decision making process. There is no doubt the extention of service is a complete benefit for Bell and in the case of Cable TV also for the Cable company. The indivdual, in thti case of Bell, has some limited voice but nothing more. A slim fifty percent major in favour of ■ the extention is one more cost for the remainder to carry and possible have no use for. They subsidize the other fifty percent. Its a game of averages and we like the analogy that you may have your feet in the freezer and hands in boiling water but supposedly enjoying a comfortable average temperature of 23 degrees'Celius. The coming of spring Surely it is now on its way and.we will soon be enjoying yet another feature of this country with the greening of nature. Certainly the birds have added a lift in their songs of spring with an added note calling for a mate. Those who worked with Mrs. Fair in the W.I will remember her axiom: Each meeting you should learn something, hear some music, and have a good laugh. She was a talented musician. She played the piano and the drums. On her walls there were 40 oil paintings which she had painted. She writes, "When I was hired to teach in a country school the inspector inspector told me, 'Every fifteen minutes you should have a different class up at the front, for an oral lesson, and all the other classes should be doing worthwhile seat work.' I tried, oh how I tried .Fortunately .Fortunately there were sometimes for doubling doubling up. eg. Grades 3 and 4 could take social studies together and for-, tunately there were some periods when the whole school could work together e.g. music and physicàl training. The pupils who did their work quickly and well 'heard' reading, weeded the garden, cut the grass, did an inventory on hot lunch supplies etc., etc. St. Saviour's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO SUNDAY SERVICE and CHURCH SERVICE 9:30 a.'m.

God gave the lily majesty So regal and so tall; It stands among the flowers The purest of them all, When our dear Lord came down to earth, To share our human lot, He used the lilies of the field In parables He I aught. And so we choose the lilies Our alters to adorn, To bring the Saviour's message Once more this Taster Mom.

A nice little old lady donated a pair of pyjamas to the Red Cross. "1 made them myself" said the old maid proudly. They were perfect in every detail except there wasn't an opening in the pants part. When, this omission was pointed out to her, her face fell. Suddenly she brightened. "Couldn't you give them to a bachelor?" The Kendal Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. Dorothy Turansky on Thursday afternoon March 9th with eleven members present and ohe visitor. It was sunny sunny and bright. The president opened opened the meeting with the "ode" and the Mary Stewart collect. Mrs. Catherine Munkton read the minutes and Mrs. I. Latiibier read (he financial report. It was decided to assist the burned out Bell family with a voucher placed in a store. Remember the W.I. Penny Sale is May 6th. Any donations of articles will be gratefully received. Then the Convenor of Family and Consumer Affairs, Mrs. K. Munkton gave her topic as "Package Pollution." When your loading a weeks worth of shopping into the car, stop a minute and look at what you've bought. By volume 50 percent of it is packaging? The total volume has increased dram- tically 1 in the last three decades. "It's not enough to ask: Is it biodegradeable?" says Glen Munroe. "From manufacture to disposal the whole lifecycle of a package must be taken into account, account, because it affects the environment environment at every stage in its history." To combat the packaging deluge we must Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Recycle. Of the three, reduction is the most vital. Solutions must come from industry, government and from us, the consumer. We must reduce it by 50% by the year 2,000. That would merely bring us in line with most European countries. What can we do? Avoid anything polystyrene; egg cartons, meat and product trays, cups and fast food containers. Avoid disposable plates, cutlery etc. Buy in bulk whenever you can and take your own bags and containers shopping. Next meeting is at the home of ■ Mrs. Grace Manders, April 13th at night. There are two kinds of party goers. One wants to leave early, the other wants to stay late. Usually" they're married to each other. I have a teacher friend in Hamilton who has sent me a book entitled, "Iremember the one room school" by Myrtle Fair. She was awarded a Canada Council grant to assist in it's publication. Unfortunately Mrs. Fair did not live to see its success. She died only a few days before the book came from the press. Her first teaching experience took her to a country school in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County County and from there to Bethany School S.S. No. 5 in Wellington County. " Upon her marriage to James Fair of Guelph township she retired temporarily temporarily from teaching. After her two daughters were in school and teachers badly needed, she returned to teaching in the local school at Marden. After the stone building at Marden burned one December day in 1961 a two roomed brick school was built. Shortly after that the county became the school area and the one roomed school was no more. Mrs. Fair taught for several years in Guelph. Then she took a kindergarten specialist course and taught kindergarten at Marden for 15 years. Retiring for five years before her death in 1979. Not only was she a dedicated teacher, Mrs. Fair had been President President and Secretary of West End Women's Institute, secretary of Guelph Horticultural Society, president president of Waterloo Presbyterial U.C. Women and at the time of her death was a member of the session of Elora United Church. ORONO GA TES OF PRAISE.
