LETTER TO EDITOR Dear Sir, As an interested resident of this fair village, 1 feel 1 must comment on the disgraceful condition of our Main streets. Weeds and litter are all too common and very little little attempt to clean up, seems to be in progress. The Town Hall grounds are anything but attractive and one wonders where the Orono Business Men's Association, so newly formed, formed, is showing any initiative to make our fair village of thing of beauty. Come on folks, let us take pride in cleaning and tidying up this little town and again call us "Orono the Beautiful". An Orono Resident, I. Chàllice A PARKS TRUST FOR ONTARIO WOODS, WATER AND WILDLIFE by Ron Reld-Federetlon of Ontario Naturalists Ontario's parks system is in trpuble. At a four-day conference conference held earlier this month at the University of Waterloo, speaker after speaker pointed out examples of park policies being ignored, ignored, of new parks thwarted by the demands of industry, and of budgets so small that existing parks are losing their attractiveness. It is obvious that parks have not been a high priority for the Ministry of Natural Resources. Since Ï971', MNR budgets as a whole have tripled, tripled, mostly in the forestry and mines areas. Parks budgets have barely increased at all, meaning in effect that inflation inflation has caused a real decline of 8 or 9 percent a ytihr. Despite a new parks policy in 1978, Ontario has created no new wilderness parks in the past decade, and the expansion expansion of other parks, to protect protect natural features of provide provide recreational opportunities, opportunities, has been very slow. In the minds of many conference conference delegates, the blame for these problems lies with senior officials of MNR, who make the key decisions on budgets and allocation çf Crown land. One of the solutions solutions suggested was the "crea- tion of an Ontario Parks •Trust, which would take over the responsiblity for parks from the Ministry, and administer administer this role independently, independently, similar to the existing Niagara Parks Commission. Commission. The Trust would be charged charged with the completion of the ; parks system, which vyould include eight new wilderness parks as well as 'new wild river, nature reserve and recreation parks scattered * across the province. The'idea of a Parks Trust is not endorsed by MNR officials, officials, who would be reluctant reluctant to lose a popular part of their program. But setting up an independent body for parks, and eliminating much of the overlapping bureaucracy, could make the ; parks program much more efficient. A resolution tabled at the conference suggested that the Parks Trust could be financially self-sufficient within ten years, assuming that the major expansions in land area were completed by then. The Parks Trust could also he more effective at fending off the demands of the extractive industries since the alLimportarit decisions on land allocation would be brought into the open instead of being made behind the closed -doors of the civil serving. serving. ' Kendal News Have you see an apple orchard in 'the spring, in the spring? An English apple orchard in the spring. Pink buds pouting at the light. Just to touch them a delight In the spring, in the spring The week end of the twenty-fourth of May was perfect. Sunday evening at 9 p.m. the temperature was 72 degrees F. The farmers used to say "have your mangels planted and garden in by the twenty-fourth, then there will be rain and this will be followed by a dry spell. We'll see if it happens this year. Kcv. A. Tizzard chose as his scripture, St. John 17 v 1-23. His subject was "Unity". Jesus was praying for his disciples "That they all may be one". When we refer to the church we mean the church of the living God. Our United Church was foimed by an act of Parliament Parliament in 1925. At that time, the crest was made. The crest is in the shape of a fish. Reminding us that the early followers of Jesus were forced forced to meet in secrét. They followed the sign of the fish to some secret hide-out to hold their service. X is seen in the centre of the crest. It is the Greek letter which began the name Christ. Christ is the centre of our church and of our life. The open Bible reminds us that the power of the word sets us free. It was fhc symbol of Presbyterianism. At the top of the crest is the dove. Jesus was baptised in the Jordon Jordon and "the spirit of the living living God descended from heaven like a dove", John I v. 32. This represents the former Methodist church. John Wesley led a great revival of Christianity in England. Perhaps it was not . his preaching as much as the ■ singing of the great hymns .composed by his brother Charles Wesley that stirred the hearts of England. The burning bush represents Moses praying for the deliverance of his people. The voice said "You go". This symbol represents the Congregational church. The third uniting church.
