2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 31, 1989 0rotio ®Beefelj> Second ('lass Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy, V. Forrester, Editor Where were the crowds? The attendance at the most of the events of the Heritage '89 events on Saturday were somewhat disappointing. disappointing. Just where were the poeple is a question being asked. It is not as though the $25,000 Town budget was not enotigh to pass the word around for Heritage '89 but there also appeared to be a lack of interest which shows up in a loss of artists for the Orono street art show and perhaps there should have been more than 35 entries in the Bowmanville parade where even the parade watchers were sparse. The Orono event, especially in the Town Hall, did have some interesting features and the old tyme hoedown and box social, we had felt, would have had a greater attraction attraction to kick-up one heels. It is not as though there isn't interest in the past for the attendance anti following for the heritage walk viewing older homes in Orono was well attended. It was also most informative as was many of the exhibits in the Town Hall. The heritage events have been splashed across the pages of the local newspapers for at least the past month and it is surprising to now even hear, "I knew nothing about it". It rather brings out the point that we only see what we are tuned-in to see. This is often pointed out by bird-- wathcers who tell before the days they were interested a bird was but a bird - a silouhette. We would like to say that there are many local events that do carry a good element of entertainment and the Heritage event was one that has been missed by many. A word of "Well done" Andrew Scott who has served as Chief Petty officer of the Sea Cadets which operate out of Bowmanville is to be congratulated for his tenure with the Corpse Over the past years. We know that Andrew has been dedicated to the Corpse and has served well in his capacity as Chief Petty Petty Officer. To say no more than "Well done". There are a number from Orono and area now members of the Sea cadets and it was a fine turnout of youngsters at, the Newcastle arena on Sunday for the annual annual inspection. Numbers certainly appear to be on the increase increase in this period of time for the corpse. Much good is done through such organizations as the Sea Cadets, Scouts etc. ana we would wish them all well in this community. Will we destroy the CBC The CBC always appears to be a target especially when cuts are considered by the federal government. One almost has to feel that at times the government would like to see the demise of the corpoiation rather than to have it go on to better quality Canadian productions. ' Again, in the recent federal budget, the knife has » come down on the crown corporation which could only have a detrimental effect on its service to the general public both on radio and television. The* CBC serves us well whether in TimBuckTwo or in the most populated centres of the country. Even though : a late starter in television it has been on the cutting edge of some note with its productions and has to its credit various awards and tributes. Broadcasting needs a model and the CBC has been the model in Canada. We talk about the need for research in technology something that in the most has to be financed financed through the public purse. The CBC plays that part in broadcasting, entertainment, and communication. We need to support the CBC for those better things in broadcasting. The Conservatives in Ottawa need to hear that message.

A gardener I knew said, "Never put your tender house plants out, before the end of the first week in June." When we went to school we learned, "Whatxis so rare as a day in June. Then, iflevci, come perfect " davs. 1 o day ' is - J une 1 : 4t h the temperature is 10 degrees celcius or 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with a stiff north-west wind,' cool but sunny. The\ abundant rain has certainly made the grass grow. My lawn has been cut twice. The cattle are putting putting on the pounds. "A wet May and a drippy June, makes the farmer whistle a merry tune." We have certainly had a wet May. Perhaps the perfect June days are ahead. On Sunday morning May 28th the choir sang from their new books, "Since Jesus came into my heart." The little children enjoyed their story and the lesson it taught. They all became "a big bad wolf" blowing the house down. The children of the Sunday. School were led in song by Brad Switzer with Joyce Boudreau at the piano. The little folks received their prizes from Glen Foster their teacher. The senior class received their prizes from Chad Switzer their teacher. The parents of the children of the Sunday School wish to express express their appreciation to these three young men, Glen Foster who is completing his year at Trent University and to Chad Switzer and his brother Brad Switzer who are also taking advanced courses in their schools. Yet every Sunday all the term they have sung in the choir (this of course means choir practice) and taught in our Sunday School. In the afternoon they led the children in their races at the picnic held at the home of Joyce Boudreau and followed by special treats for the children. The Sunday School will not open till after Labour Day. Perhaps a rather early closing but these three young men are very busy in June. Glen is a Scout leader and the Switzers are in the Kendal Orange Lodge Band which leads the march to Kendal Church on June 18th. Then next Sunday is our minister's 'one Sunday in eight", that he is given to spend as hé wishes. So the service is to be taken at Newtonville and Kendal next Sunday, June 11th by Steven Hellebust who is attending Toronto ■ University. He belongs to the Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship in . University. To-day May 28th he was attending a special retreat. He will be assisted in the musical part by his brother Andrew Hellebust. Both these,young men are grand- 1 sons of Mrs. Margaretta Stevens and attended Kendal S.S. and church regularly as boys with their mother, Mrs. Dorothy Hellebust who put on the Sunday School Concert and trained the Kendal S.S. children one year. She sings in Kendal Kendal choir each Sunday. So be sure and attend next Sunday and encourage encourage our lads by your attendance. attendance. The Bible Reading was most appropriate appropriate this morning and so beautiful, "The Mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into into singing and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands." Get up at daybreak to-morrow morning and wander to the hills and hear for yourself, "The mountains and the hills break forth into singing." singing." Scripture -'Isaiah 55: 10-13 and Luke 6: 39-49. Sermon: "What Life Do We Have." The doctor was surprised to find the nurse holding the patient by both wrists. "That's not the way to check his pulse," he scolded. "I'm not checking his pulse," replied the nurse. "I'm checking his impulse." Let me as an older Sunday School teacher of long, ago give some advice advice to the young mothers and ,we have a lot of young mothers with young children attending. You will be tempted many a dull morning to sleep in and let the little folk amuse- themselves with the TV or the football football or what Have you. But if you, even when dead tired, make a regular habit of taking those 'dear little dimpled darlings' to Sunday School each Sunday like Mrs. Frank, Mrs. Hellebust, Mrs. Foster, and Mrs. Switzer did, when they reach teen-age they will be interested interested in sharing with others their good fortune and they will become leaders in scouting, and girl guides, Sunday School teaching etc. The Bible says, "What you sow you shall also reap." "Behold a sower went forth to sow" Jesus said, "Spme good ground yielded one hundred fold." What better ground could you find in which to sow the good seed than yoiir own boys and girls. The Sunday School will help you. Rev. Clifford Waite who has sent me his column, "Fun in the Rural Church" is now moving to Brantford Brantford from the Oakwood charge. A new ruling of the United Church says when a minister reaches 65 he must vacate the parsonage and move out. So Padre Clifford Waite has moved to Brantford, he tells me. He said, "When they came to Oakwood their moving expenses were $2,000. They have served there four years. The new man coming to Oakwood is Robert Flendall a retired engineer. He will be ordained ordained in Owen Sound on June 3. His moving expenses will be $4,500* . since he has a grand piano and a Pool Table." So moving expenses is an important consideration. The Kendal News will be humourless from now on. We all* wish to thank Padre Waite for his 'heavenly laughter.' Last chance to get your ticket for the annual Orange Supper. June 3rd.
