2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 6, 1989 ©rono 2EeeMp Simesi Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Kyery Wednesday at tlie office of Publication Main Street,Orono . 1 Roy V. Forrester. Editor We have a feeling . . . Yes, we have a feeling that the 1989 edition of the annual annual Orono Fair sponsored by the Durham Central Agricultural Society is going to be a good one. We don't know why but the feeing is there and only time will tell. Five are competiting for the Miss Durham Central title and also on Friday evening the O.P.P. ride show, which is an excellent attraction will also be staged. Friday evening also includes includes a new attraction in the Farmers' Olympics, sponsored by the Junior Farmers, and the preliminary events for the Tug-O-War returns. These two latter events include local participation participation and that what's the fair is all about. Moving on to Friday evening the demolition derby returns after an absence of a number of years and according tci enquiries at this office there should be a goodly number entered in the event to see who may survive with enough steam left to be crowned the victor. The Old Time Fiddlers' contest is also a good event for Friday evening along with the finals for the Tug-O-War contest. Apparently the Saturday parade is to bigger than ever with some 75 antique and street rods taking part along with many western theme floats. The Hoskin Musical Ride event will provide good entertainment before the grandstand along with step-dancing and he Mundel Musical Family. The Chickwagon races continue to interest many as does the evening evening dance. Sunday is another full slate with Jumpers and Hunters in competition, the Gospel sing at noon, the harness horse races and a country and western show. But there is also the regular exhibits and a new feature of photographers and wood-workers. We need not go through the poultry, baking and such exhibits but they will be there again along with the midway, MacDonald's farm and this year a Duck triatholon, swimming, running and jumping. What else is left for the annual event in the Village. Sixteen months left Sixteen months left to the date that Michael Wilson introduces introduces at the counter his proposed nine percent Goods and Service sales tax. How will we ever survive just arriving at this point let alone Wilson surviving. The news media is full of the proposal and it all is mostly negative. Is this the menu we get for the next sixteen months in the daily sheets and over the airwaves. Wilson certainly does not appear to be weakening but if he does in one sector the whole thing should be thrown out. The exemption of .food and the few other exemptions are enough. The new tax should also remain visable for if it is hidden hidden and as it really is a value added tax it could become a real nightmare for those who move a service or a material to another stage of development and eventually to the final customer. If the tax must come it should well reach all avenues of goods and services and it must also be visable. The interest lies in how the conservatives and Wilson survive the next sixteen months and, of course, how we survive. survive. Happening... PANCAKE BREAKFAST SATURDAY A.M.

The Fair The Maple trees are tinted With yellow and red and gold, The clear Fall air is bracing Canadians young and old. We rise in the morning early, And harness our prancing mare, For Ma and Pa and the boys and girls Are off to the Orono Fair. We'll be showing our well fed cattle And sheep of southdown breed. There'll be sleek white hogs with meaty flanks, . And many a prancing steed. And Ma hits entered her pickles, Preserves and her pumpkin pies. She's known'all over the country And is sure to bring home a prize. We've read of Florida's beaches Where people bask in the sun. They say there are shows in the city Where people have lots of fun But me, I'm a lad of the country, Grew up with the wind in my hair, And I wouldn't exchange'for,all those things' A Canadian Country Fair.

The sermon was entitled, "How do you love the stranger, an angel of God?" Based on the scripture scripture Hebrews 13:1-8 and Luke pump. We were indeed pleased to see the fine picture of Mel and Mary Jones in the Orono paper last week. Some of my friends had been enquiring about them and I couldn't tell them. Mel was always such an asset to the Newtonville charge with his . secretarial ability which he gave without renumeration. We wish ■ them both a bright future. Old Tom says: "Faith does for the living what sunshine does for stained glass windows." Says Tom's wife: "Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall."

Maryanne a 14 year old girl" writes home ta her Grandma. (continued from last week) One bright blue noon we had just finished pulling the flax when we were surprised to hear an unusual deep, loud, whistle from the rivpr. Off we scampered just in time to see a steamboat going by, down, probably probably to Lake Winnipeg and on'to JVinnipcg city. We were quite delighted to know that there was some life that we were not alone. St. Saviour's Anglican Church Father pitched the wheat sheaves on the wagon rack."Martha and I placed them as directed in rows, head to centre. When we reached home we unloaded where the stable will be. Father pitched off the sheaves while I built them into a stack. Round and round to the centre, centre, trying to keep the outside straight, topping off to a toper a-d fastened with a stake. It was a.. . lop-sided but the first 1 ever build or saw, as in Palmerston at Unde Sandy's Sandy's they do not build stacks but put the sheaves into a big barn to await the threshing with their horses to go round and round. Mother has not been very well lately though busy. The night was beautiful with a harvest moon, when we heard the creak of freighters' outfits in the distance. Father sent me to. the trail on the run to ask them if they had any liquor they could part with, as mother was ill. Two of the men returned with me bringing brandy, (Continued page 6) ORONO PASTORAL CHARGE Minister: Rev.

Rev. Bob Guiliano who writes for a Haliburton paper and teaches in Huron College in London writes the following: On a bus trip a Pénticostal gentleman sat reading his Bible. The fellow sitting next to him asked, asked, "Do you believe every word in the Bible?" "Why, of course 1 do," replied the religious man. "You mean to say you believe that a whale swallowed Jonah?" "Yes sir, I believe a big fish swallowed him." "Come on now," said the man, "You're just putting me on. How could a whale swallow a man and he survive?" "When I get to heaven," replied the good man, 'I'll ask Jonah." "Now suppose Jonah isn't in heaven?" said the fellow. "Then you'll have to ask him," came the terse reply. The people of Kendal village have always been able to obtain water at less than twenty-feet. In fact most of them sink a sand point in their cellar and obtain, all the water they can use. Now the government requires requires that each new home builder drill" a deep'wcll on his lot. Two years ago two wells were drilled that flowed, one artesian well ran all summer long, In the fall Mrs. Youngman, who lives in the former school, began her washing, soon everything slopped. No water, the artesian well had lowered the water level. The government says it will do nothing •about underground water. If your neighbour digs a well and yours goes dry that is your hard luck. Is it any wonder the people of Kendal arc worried, .thirty-five lots have been sold, that means thirty- live deep wells will be drilled? Well drillers charge $35 for every foot they drill.
