2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 5, 1989 A n interesting, beneficial plan The Town of Newcastle through their general purpose committee meeting on Monday has introduced an interesting plan for employees and for the Town itself. It is beneficial to both parties. The plan allows full-time employees and council members to make purchase through the Town purchasing purchasing power, at a reduced rate, a Microcomputer and printer which becomes their property at home. The cost has been estimated at $2200.00 which amount can be paid in one lump sum or through monthly deductions from salary over a period of 28 months. If the instalment plan is accepted by the employee the cost to the Town for interest on the loan amounts to some $450.00 over the 28 month period. In today workplace whether it be a municipality or any of the industries and businesses the responsibility for training does rest with the employer. It is a costly undertaking in most cases and does waste productive time on the job. The benefit of the plan outlined by the Town allows the employee to gain experience with their own computer at home which can also be used by the family. It is, in a sense a joint venture, with the Town allowing the purchase at a reduced rate and the employee gaining experience on, equipment they may already being using or may use sometime in the future. The employee likely will gain this knowledge through personal use or through groups and possible classes. The Town gains in that employees attain knowledge of the equipment without interruptions to the work force. Many articles have been written of late that industry industry must play a larger roll in the updating of skills of their work force. That government aid cannot for ever be directed to this end and that the educational system cannot possibly meet the needs of all and sundry who enter or are included in the workplace. If the educatipnal system provides the basics, a desire to learn and a inquisitive mind they have really ac- complsihed their end at the elementary and secondary level. Industry can carry on from here and the computer is not something to be feared and , in fact, for the younger generation is not feared. It is but a tool to do work. The Town of Newcastle is doing this and it seems a logical move on their part. Was the decision autocratic Mr. and Mrs. Bobbie Tims, residents on Ovens Road in Newtonville, find themselves in a position of having a contaminated water supply with no possible relief from the municipal system to serve the community being installed at the present time. And from our point of view Mrs. Tims received little compassion on Monday when she brought their plight to the public forum before council. In the initial plan for Newtonville the Tims property property was included within the hamlet boundaries. This allowed service for water by the Region. It would appear that cost became the issue and that small two and a quarter acre piece of property was eliminated from the hamelt plan and Tims were without water. It would also appear that the Region has done little little to communicate with the property owners who admit through ignorance in land delaing have a property with a tained water supply. Surely the region' and local councillors could make that extra effoprt to see that an area intended for a safe supply of watewr would receive it. The Region has paid throw the nose for other eater problems. What is wrong with a deep drilled well with assistance from the property owner and the province. province. The Regional intent was good but the result is distorted. ! ■ . Coming up the Mill Hill (Continued from page 1) , meet safety regulations and said he was not allowing such to take place. In a telephone interview Lofgren stated that the project has been most irritating to the residents in the area with equipment and pipes piled on lawns and also to lawn damage., i "Nobody cares and Ive cin't do much", he said, "we can't get a straight answer." The bank at the Lofgren property is covered with lilacs and it is feared that in its present condition, having been cut back, will be washed away with the first rain storm. The owners want it repaired and stabilized. Lofgren said it would scent logical to have put the storm sewer down the centre of the road as in Kendal News ' When we were young we loved to sing "The Maple Leaf" by Alexander Alexander Muir, It had such a melodious tune. The maple leaf, our emblem dear The maple leaf forever. God Save our Queen And heaven bless The maple leaf forever. July is holiday month on the Pastoral Charge. July 9th will be our annual outdoor service, held this year at the home of Morley and Wilma Robinsons' beginning at 11:00 a.m. Guest speaker Mr. Keith Henderson. There will also be special music. After the service there will be a picnic lunch. Bring sandwiches or squares etc. fob the lunch and your lawn chair. In case of rain the service will be held in the Shiloh United Church. I deplore the fact that all the L.C.B.O. outlets are built beside grocery stores. This doesn't just happen it is planned to make liquor appear as necessary as groceries. The Beer Store in Bowman ville is right beside Valdi Discount Foods. It is so planned. In many cases it is Beer not Bread for which the family money is used. In my second school in North York I taught 44 pupils all farm children except the father of one family of five children. He Was a carpenter and a good one. One noon this family of five did not go home for dinner as their custom was. I asked, "Why are you not going going home for dinner?" The oldest girl said, "There's no bread at our house." I said to the other children, "We can all spare a sandwich." But I realized how humiliating it was for that fourteen year old girl, and a lovely girl she was, to have to accept those sandwiches. I heard later all about the situation. situation. A well to do farmer had an only only son who got married. His,father had a second farm. His father said, "I'll build a new house on the other farm for your mother and myself." We'll all have to live together till it's built. So he hired the father of the five children to build the house. Time dragged on and he was very slow in getting it finished. Finally the father went to see what the hold up was. He found the carpenter and his helper both drunk. So he fired him and hired another man. That- was the reason the breadman never called called and the family had no bread. This was in 1934 and jobs were very scarce. I read, that the L.C.B.O. outlet in Janetville is right inside the grocery store. So the liquor will be purchased with the groceries. This is what Archer Wallace, a Toronto minister and writer of my youth says in an article entitled, "No Compromise". It is well known that for many years there were unscrupulous persons persons living around the English coast who made a practice of luring vessels on to the rocks by means of false lights. These men were known as wreckers, and they lived largely by plundering the vessels that they , had lured to destruction. It seems to other such works. He stated that the road is to be rebuilt so it would have been no problem to have the storm sewer down the centre. Lofgren is also to meet with Walter Evans, director of public- works for Newcastle, who Lofgren said has said everything \yill be made right. The Main Street storm sewer is to hook into the a storm sewer fro'm Somerville Street and is' part of a project being undertaken in Orono this year on Church, Somerville and Division Streets. us to have been-utterly cruel and heartless; yet there arc still wreckers who lead men and women to moral shipwreck, and make gains out of it. There is a terrible warning to such persons in Matthe'w 18:6. The church cannot compromise with an evil influence. That a vast number of sincere people arc attempting attempting to reach a compromise over the liquor question is certain but it is the very nature of evil that 'it is ever growing and seeking to increase increase its territory. It is no more content to remain in a certain area than weeds are content to remain in a small part of, the garden; and in each case the remedy is the same -- the evil must be uprooted. Read Matthew: 16: 24-25; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Proverbs 23: 31 & 32. From 1 remember the One- Room-School: A pupil tells us: Usually the 'smart' current event items were suggested by Dad. 1 know this one was, Jack's news was, 'A man was electrocuted at Weston's Bread plant yesterday. The teacher reacted as he expected. expected. "That's terrible. What happened?" happened?" "He stepped on a bun and the currant wènt up his leg?" Upon moving into an older home, my husband was not satisfied with the performance of the plumbing, so he.decided to see what he could do to improve it. Two attempts in as many weeks resulted in two emergency calls to the plumber. On leaving the second time, thé plumber looked at me thoughtfully and asked, "Lady, how many wrenches does your husband husband have?" I replied "Just one." "Well," he said, "hide it." by Mfs. James Mason Bob McClure (continued) The spirit of service, along with many other programs begun by medical missionaries, would continue continue after the war. But McClure wouldn't be there to see it. He had* been., called home'to deal with a family emergency. By the time he was ready to return to China the communists bad taken over the country's government. McClure was considered a friend of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek the former ruler. He was on the Chinesè Communists' "wanted" list. It would be 30 years before McClure McClure would return to the country - where he had spent most of his life. He was deeply disappointed, ' "but by riow," he says, "I have developed enough faith to know that if God closes ■ one door he opens another." . McClure resigned himself to the , idea that he would probably never go back to China. Yet adventure was far from over in his life. Although his bomb dodging days were done, he would have the fun of learning about other societies and taking on the challenging jobs that no one else would do.
