2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 15, 1989 0iono ®BeeMp Etmes Second ('lass Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Xvery Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Phone 983-5301 Roy ('.Forrester, Editor ( Subscription $12.00 Top of the Top Ten If one was to ask the John Q. Public last week who was Top of the Top Ten (provincial premiers) Clyde Wells, premier of Newfoundland was have been a shoo-in. Certainly he came across in the public debate over Meech Lake as articulate, articulate, having reason, logic, principle and precedent. He was no raw recruit in the debate of the constitution and corner corner Mulroney and Peterson with some form of ease. . Unfortunately John Q. has not been privy to much open debate on Meech Lake for it was hatched behind closed doors and until Wells came on the scene it was all mere rhetoric. Not any more if wells can get his message across in the public domain. From anything one can read about the background of Wells he has great experience in constitutional matter and most of all he appears to state logic and its refreshing. Mulroney was away off base when he asked Wells to temper his criticism of the accord because of inexperience a request that was issued sometime before the recent debate. How does the governments expect the general public to get a feel for the issue if everything is undertaken behind the velveted doors. And the public has a right for information such as happened with the Wells debate. If the boot was on the other foot Last Monday the Town of Newcastle council unanimously passed a resolution objecting to the proposed Goods and Services Tax which no doubt will cost the Town money on many of their supplies and services.. Ultimately it does reach the general public. But the issue was not debated by council it was just a matter they were opposed. This so often happens for it is easy to make a decision for or against someone elses home ground. We suppose if the boot was on the other foot and the municipality asked the general public if a nine percent increase increase in taxation was supported the answer would also be negative. It's likely we will never get the opportunity for such a vote. FLEA MARKET SPACES STILL AVAILABLE The downtown promotion this week-end also includes a mini Flea Market which will be open Friday through Sunday in a vacant store in the Village. Spaces are still available. A number of the Downtown Stores will remain open during the entire week-end including Sunday from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. championship this year.

It was enough to make the group want such a garden in the Woods Walk proposal. Pictures were also shown of the Farewell Park in Oshawa. The committee hopes to be able to work with the consulting firm and the town in the planning satge of the Orono creek valley park. One criteria they favour is a walkway from the Senior Citizens through to downtown Orono so residents of the area do not have to walk along the narrow extension of Station Street. Other items on the list include'a include'a paved walkway, benches and foot bridges. Terry Graham, son of Rosie Graham and the former Ed Graham, who gained his education in Orono has been selected to take part in a series of articles in the Toronto Stra called "Living Well Into the 1990s". Terry's article is to dp- pear on Thursday or Friday of this week. Terry is an exercise physiologist in the human biology Ken Davies (Continued from page 1) returning from a volleyball tournament tournament and were all members of the Senior Volleyball team at Clarke. The team was making a bid .for a Kendal Korner Have 1 really thanked you, Lord for the fact that I can see A clear blue sky, a bird in flight, a child upon my knee, A sunset's glow at eventide, a cloud so full and white, In never-ending gratitude -- the wondrous gift of sight? Have 1 really thanked you, Lord, for the fact that I can hear A bird in song, my children laugh, a spoken.word so dear, A welcome knock upon my door, rain on my window pane? It means that 1 am part of things and have so much to gain. Have I ever really thanked you, Lord, for the fact that I can walk A country lane, a city street, meet friends and stop to talk, To climb upon a hillside and marvel at the view? All these things are blessings, gifts sent down by you. We walk along life's highway, and seldom stop to say Thank you, Lord, for all these gifts so dear to us each day. Maralyn I. Fawcett-Smith Sunday morning November 12th it was snowing beautiful large flakes of snow, squaw winter, this will be followed by "Indian Summer." "When the sound of dropping nuts is heard Tho' all the trees are still." November 12 was Rev. Bryan Ransom's birthday, so we sang "Happy Birthday" for Bryan. Then the choir sang as an anthem by request, "Oh, happy day that fixed my choice. On thee " my Saviour my God. Happy Day! Happy Happy Day!" Don't forget the Mid-Month Church Service, Newtonville United Church, November 22nd at 7:30 p.m. Open to everyone. The sermon topic was, "Devising Good in the Midst of the Odds of Evil." Kendal had a successful bazaar but the crowd was smaller because of the weather than last year. The U.C.W. wish to thank all those who helped in any way to . make it a success. The lady of the house and I had been discussing how : often Murphy's Law works out in life. As you may remember, this says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. For instance if you drop a piece of jammy bread it will always land with the jammy side down. A friend's little girl Dawn had been listening closely, then made this suggestion: "Don't you think it would have been better if whoever had the piece of bread had put the jam on the other side? Then the jammy side wouldn't have landed landed on the floor, would it Mr. Gay?" Just try working that one out. The Kendal United Church Women met in the Sunday School Kitchen on Wednesday afternoon November the eighth with eleven members present. Mrs. Youngman opened the meeting with the poem, Man's Achievement. Then we sang #256, "From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand." Mrs. Ann Dilks read the minutes and Mrs. Levina Downs read the treasurer's report, Then she sold the church calendars that had been ordered at $4.00 each. They are - especially ■ beautiful this year. "Pictures of famous Canadian Churches," a most beautiful church calendar. , Then Mrs. Peggy Frank gave'an outline of the Presbytèrial Group meeting at Tyrone on October the twelfth. The music* especially was a very fine treat for all whoyittend- cd and something very fine the rest of us missed. Then we set up the tables for the bazaar. A fine lunch was served by Mrs. M. Stevens and other arrangements were checked for the bazaar. Young children have such a lovely lovely way of mangling things they do not fully understand. Last evening while listening to my great-grand daughter's prayers, I heard this delightful innvocation, "Give us this day our jelly bread..." It's just possible of cours'e, that Susan really meant it. Edna McCann When I hear young women complain complain about housework these days, I think of my friend Laura's grandmother grandmother who homesteaded on the Prairies. She worked an eighteen- hour day, made all her own bread, butter, preserves, and soap, had an acre of vegetable garden, sewed all her children's clothes (there were seven of them) and lived to be ninety. ninety. • . She told me once, "Only thing makes me anxious is sitting. I don't seem to know how to do it." from "The Heritage Book" Long life may be good enough but a good life is never long* enough.
