Robinson says accord is the best for all Canadians By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star The constitutional accord is the best for all Canadians, says the Kinsmen Club of Canada's Past President. "This package is the best package that can address and accommodate a future Canada where we can all work together toward a common goal," says Dave Robinson from Seagrave. Mr. Robinson, who has been a leading figure this year during the Proud to be Canadian Tour, says the Charlottetown Agree- ment should be judged by Can- dians for its overall value and noton individual points. "It should be judged on what it can do for Canada in the changing world in the next dec- ade and beyond," he says. Mr. Robinson says many of the points laid out in the agree- ment have been present in the Canadian legal system for years, but is only now being put into writing. "Quebec has always been a distinct society, now we're just recognizing it constitutionally," he says. Mr. Robinson, who serves on the National Yes Committee, says the most important section of the agreement is the Canada Clause which outlines the fun- damental principles of what Canada is. He says it instructs the courts on how to interpret the restofthe constitution. "We must have faith in the Canadian legal system to inter- pretitjustly," he says. Although Mr. Robinson sup- ports the overall document, there are elements of the pack- age that he's uncomfortable with. One area, for example, is Senate Reform, which gives equal representation in the sen- ate to all provinces. Mr. Robinson says he cannot accept the fact that a province as small as Prince Edward Is- land, which has a population the size of Durham Region, will have the same representation /1in the Senate. But Mr. Robinson says de- spite having concerns over one or two points, Canadians should judge the entire document and base their decision on the im- pact it will have on Canada. He is also concerned about the attitude some people are taking towards the vote. In his travels across the country, he has learned many will vote no to send a message to the Prime Minister. But Mr. Robinson says thisis wrong. "Canada will have achance in the next election to vote for the prime minister," he says. He says now 18 not the time for a leadership debate. Mr. Robinson is also critical of the government for rushing the referendum vote. He says giv- ing the people only 30 days to decide something as crucial as thisis wrong.

He says much more education and information is needed to in- form the people. No matter which way one is leaning at the present time, Mr. Robinson urges all Canadians to take their time when decid- ing. Yes an individual choice," he says. "It's every individual Ca- nadian's vision of Canada that should shape their vote, not their political ties." "A patriotic yes is as impor- tant as a patrioticno." ; » ¢ © - & a FS of f . x of nad ; < t % - i ® 2 x b! 3 Asburn Road was the set for a McDonald's commercial over the weekend as a film S¥ Torchmen coming on November 15 CR An XE A att St oan eta St ne Se Se a LX BE a OE RR REA RR Ashburn News tion Army Band joining us in worship at the evening service. vice. gational meeting following the morning service.

Florence Ashton was in charge of the program, reading a poem "Little Clown Puppet." She told the story of Anne Frank and her experiences with her family from 1942-1944 as they lived in a secret annex in Amsterdam during the war. The events of this period were noted by Anne in her diary, which she received for her 13th birthday. After the family was arrested in August 1944 and de- ported to a concentration camp, Anne's diary was found, and her father was responsible for having it published. Anne Frank's diary has now appeared in more than 50 lan- guages and countries. The meeting closed with prayer, and a social half hour with our tea cups.

PPHS craft sale Saturday By Julia Dempsey Port Perry Star Norma Douglas will be one of more than 100 area craftsmen participating in the annual Craft Sale at Port Perry High School on October 24. Upon retiring about five years ago, Mrs. Douglas and her husband Ron decided to open a cottage industry in their Sea- grave home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Douglas enjoy gardening, therefore mak- ing pot pourri seemed to go hand-in-hand with their pas- gion. The business, called The Scented Room, keeps the couple busy year round. When they're not out in the garden planting, weeding, fertilizing and har- vesting their flowers, plants and herbs, they are busy mixing pot pourn recipes. "A recipe takes anywhere from 1 1/2to 2 years to prepare," Mrs. Douglas explained to the Star, adding that matching the colors of flowers and foliage and getting the scent just right is al- most ascience. But giving a second life to their gardenisalaboroflove. 'It's very enjoyable working with plants and flowers," she said. Mrs. Douglas said a hitle known fact about pot pourn is that 1t can be rescented. She said many people throw out pot pourn after the scent has dimin- ished, but in fact, it can be en- joyed for years by adding more scented oils to the mixture. They offer a wide variety of scented oils at theircraft booth. Sale at Port Perry High Scho 100 vendors are participatin To enhance the pot pourri, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas offer a va- riety of accessories including crocheted doily wall hats and decorative baskets. Most of "these items are made by their friends. The Douglases participate in about one or two craft shows a month. This will be their second year at the Port Perry High School Craft Sale. The sale will be held on Satur- day, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $1. The Port Perry Guides will be providing lunch and a babysitting service in the cafeteria. Norma Douglas will be displaying her pot pourri at the Craft ol on Saturday, Oct. 24. More than g In this year's event. I ---- ~-- . Ne --__--wwwd EE. DS om
