2-Orono Weekly Timnes, Wednesday, December 19, 1984 Sëd tsegUgstratonNumbrOWM8f MitrfietOron - Roy CFonrrmte, iiter. - Christmas Is Love Two weeks ago we attended a Christmas music presentation at the Kingsview United Church in Oshawa upon invitation from a relative in the City and ta say the least was more than impressed with the Junior and Senior Choirs anda brass Quintette of Salvation Army bandsmen. 0f course we enjayed the Quintette but as usual the young voices of the Junior Choir was a delight and this with the rest of the program set a warmth of feeling for the coming holiday season. The Junior Choir, as, I have said, was a delight, but we were much taken with anc of the sangs or hymns they prescnted in bath the music and words. It camne ta mind then that it could be the basis for a Christmas greeting editorial for the Orono Times readers. Unfortuniately 1 have misplaced the program and the words of the sang do not corne ta, me but 1 can stîll rememiber the wholcsome feeling and joys of Christmas which this offering broughîta this anc sit- ting in the audience. The theme, howc-ver, was Christmas Is Love and this theme ran throught the presentation by the Junior Choir. With this thieme in mmnd, "Christmas Is Love", we wish fo extend thc same delight that was kindled for us by the Junior Choir to cach and everyone during the hioliday season and'the year ahead. It's Not Ail That Simple Ther is little doubt that mnost Canadians support a cut in the federal def'icit and sec it as theonly avenue open ta some form of financial sabiiity com- ing out of Ottaw,,a. Finance Minister Wilson along withi many supoartive wYords for budget cuts miakes thte point that Canada cannat and shouid not burden future generatian with casts ithey will not bc able ta handle. It is a basic determinatian and solution ta the deficit but ta cut sorte programi indiscriminatcly iS n'ot going ta unburden future gencrations as ta federal financing. The cuts announced by Wilson and, ta this point, supportcd ta a large degree by the Minisiter of the Environmient, Biais-Grenier, in funding for some projects relatin_ý ta the environmient could have a series and growing disaster for the enviraniment and create costs on and beyand thase naw being fought as a deficit. The cost of carrecting enviranmental dlamage throughaut the caiury increases year b yeyar as the damage multiplies througth ineglcct and lack of c-on- cern. This cast mouints Jus! the samne as if it werc in- terest on a deficit boan. Th'le music has ta bc faccd someime and better it be.now than pushingit off on- ta future gerierations. The United States is a primie examipie af negiect and negaive attitude towvards the env.\iranmnî and the problemi continues tao grow. Reagan and hi., former En iranment minister hiad littie regard for ic, envýironm-ent and itheirnaivc ýiiattitude tawards acid ramn is affccting the whole continent avrey This cannat contiuie and samc day theie has to be paid. Sureiy one has ta support cconamnic ýspcnding of money but aur new federal go\eriinment is som.ewhat obsessed thiat Canadian are intcrested only in deficit cuts noa matter what the cost and the Ministryv of the Enviroment is a prime example.

The Loyalist by Sclwyn Banwell (continued) Promi the autumrn of' 1781 to the springl of 1783, 1 do flot believe a wcck passed but there was somne new rumiour to bc wondcred at. We wcrc to be sent to Canada, to Nova Scotia, to Jamaica, to England. We' werc to stay wherc we wcre; Sir Henry Clinton would neyer sur- render but would, fire the toWn. At long last came word thiat peace was to bc signed, independence rccognized and Ncwv York given up to the vic- tors. The loyalist werc now to bc left to the tender mercies of the conquferors but were to be transported at the expense of the British Govcrnmcnt to British soit. On a May morning in the ycar 1783 my mother and hier children stood upon the deck of the British ship Susannah, one of the spring fleet (as it was called) bound for the col- ony of Nova Scotia with 3,000 souils on board. We had the vaguest ideas of our destination; if a choice had been iven\cr us, we should have been comipletely at a loss, for- ail lands wýerc alike unknown I tO uIS. The Susanniah wýas crowd- cd, the sea was rough, and the cold winds drove down uipon us. The vessel rolled and tossecd beyond belief and by the end of the second day there was flot one of us Who carcd a jot where we should land-, so long as it might bc soon. We rcached Parrtown, at the mouth of the St. John River, on the tenth morning, and thcrc Cards & Wrap - by Carlton Bilifolds - TiI bey Many Novelties - by Gund & ath-ers Last chance for many brand namesat réal savings for Christmas. b Cheers!
