PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1974, WHITBY FREE PRESS 8/RD 'S EVE WIEW -J/MOUA/li Ail Thies and Change Too?46 1 can't properly express le yoKI the delights of shopping ini a grocery store on a Friday night. I canl only say il is somewhat akin 10 the bonibing of Pearl Harbour. The firsl rule of wise shopping is 10 make sure you have a list and stick 10 il and, of course, the first thing I aiways do is te totally forget ail about Ihat. When I arrive at my neighbourhood grocery store i usually intend to purchase only three or four items. I limit il to that because that's ail iny little brain can remnember at one shot. So knowing I amn after only a few essentials I don't take a buggy. Before I arn even halfway down the firsl row I always realize that is another mistake becauise I inevilably spot a bargain. My downfall is the reduced ceunlter. 1 still remember the lime I spolted a dozen dented tins without labels. They were going for a mere five cents each and I figured I couldn't go wrong. Three of îhem îumned out 10 be dog food and the rest were filled wilh chocolate covered brussels sprouts. Now 1 don't even bother using brussels spreuls for fertilizer in the garden so yen can imagine my delight on discovering what I had bonght. 1 guess l1il have 10 wait for a party before 1 can gel rid of them. il jusl slip them in with ail the other snacks and everybody will be tee pole te ask what on earth lhey are. If they do ask l'il say they were imported from Costa Brava at great expense. Afler filling the buggy haîf full of reduced bargains I gel only anoîher few feet and discover the buggy has two square wheels. Either Ihat or il suddeniy makes a sharp left lnrn for no reason haif way down the aisie and crashes int another shoppers buggy. The meat counter is the worst. The price tags latly have started te resemble down payment prices for new bouses. I used te, think it was a joke when somebody sugg- esîed il but now I'm wondering how long il will be before the butcher asks you how you would like le, finance your new roast. Iecause of the high prices lately ail sorts of new goodies have sprnng Up in the bins at the meal counter. Things like pig's feet, cows tails, baracuda giblets, and chieken beaks. I figure il is only a malter of lime before tiiey start importing pickled eleplianl's trunks ini olive oil. Another litIle trick 1 gel caught by are those litîle signs ltat say, "Price and Compare!". So I figure l'Il take the hint and start checking prices for the best bargain. Fat chance! There seems 10 be a plot lately by the stock boys to either not put the price on at ail or smear it so badly you cani't read il anyway. There's one advantage about not marking the prices on the cans and that is the lime saved having 10 go around and change them ail when the prices go up. Because everybody's going broke selling greceries the grocery stores are selling a lW of sundry items like sports shirts and slacks. Haîf the stuff is made in the orient se you have 10 be careful because you can't always go by the label. 1 always gel so embarassed having to drop my pants me ages te find what I wanled and when 1 finally gel 10 the check eut counter my bill came te just under $20 and my seleclions only haif filled a grocery bag. Wilheut uouinding tee bitter I gave the girl a lwenty dollar bill and remarked ontI gazed inoe the bag, "AIl this and change too?". Councll News':' The Pickering Town Council authorîzed the purchase of six new microphones from General Sound Theatre Equipment Limited at a cost flot to exceed $492.10. This amount is to be included in the 1974 Budget as recommended by the Executive Committee of the Council. It was deemed necessary to purchase new microphones as the Council members have difficulty with hearing the discussions on various items due to poor accoustics in the Council Chamber and in the Cornmittee Room. The Council on the recommendation of the Executive Committee authorized that the permanent complement of the Pickei-ing Town Recreation and Transportation Department Staff be expanded. This expansion of staff is to include a Concession Booth Leader, a Community Activity Co-ordinator and a Pool Leader. The Council also authorized that the complément of the staff for the Dial-A-Bus System be expanded by four additional drivers. White dealing with the expansion of Town Staff employees the Council authorized the Fire Chief Don Lynde to hire four Dis- patchers for the Fire Service. Also one Dispatcher to be hired to assume the responsibility of Dial-ABus Dispatcher. The Town Council acted upon a recommendation put forth by the Executive Committee in regards to the protection of the School children at school crossings. The Counicil passed a resolution stating that wherever the responsibility for the provision of School Cross- ing Guards is relinguished by the Durham Regional Police, this responsibility be assumed by the Town. The Municipality accepts the offer of training School Crossing Guards as offered by The Durham Regional Police. The Pickering Town Council followed the regular procedure of making appointments to the various committees and Boards. Mrs. Jean McPherson 'former cou ncillor for Pickering Township was part of the negotîating team for the former Township novu the Town of Pickering. As she is not a member of this year's Council some one had to be Council's representative on the negotiating team. The Counicil appointed Councillor K.B. Spratley to replace former Councillor Mrs. McPherson on the negotiating team dealing with Metropolitan Toronto on the Sanitary Landfill Agreement on the "proposed site in Pickering". Appointed as Pickerings representative to the Metropolitan Toronto Waterfront Advisory Committee was Mayor George Ashe the former deputy-reeve of the former Township of Pickering. This appointment was made by the passîng of a by-law.

Robert Malcolm and Grant Carson were appointed as valuers of sheep and other livestock.

By means of taxation the municipality has to pay the farmer for the loss of stock when the Ioss is caused by dogs running at large. When the mayor of the municipality is away on business or for a vacation an acting mayor is appointed. Councillor Jack E. Anderson was appointed as Acting Mayor for Pickering Town.

BIBLE SCHOOL - 9:45 a.m. BUS SERVICE PROVIDED The photographer who took above picture on oue of Freeport's many beaches obviously had a littie help from bis friends in order te uine up this bevy of attractive girls. Freeport, in the Bahamas, attracts people of ail ages w'ho enjey the goed life because if is a centre for glamour and excitement - with clubs, discetheques and casinos. No history in Freepnort -but night F REEPO RT, Grand Baharma Island - "You can neyer really get used to it," com- plained the Canadian bachelor who actuaiiy lives in this Bahamian resort town located sonne 80 miles south of Florida and 150 miles north of Nassau, capital city of the Bahamas. He wasn't referring to the warmth of the year-roiind sun- shine. With tongue-in-cheek, the young man was describing the abundance of good-looking girls who arrive in Freeport daily from Canada and the United States. "I've been working here for six months, " he said. "but you just can't take your eyes off these girls - in fact. it's tough concentrating on work when you can see them by the pool or on the beach from the office wi ndow." And indeed, it's no accident that young people (or older folks who enjoy the good life) like Freeport. There's no pre- tense about going to Freeport for history, the past or old world charrm. The city doesn't have any of these ingredients, but it is truly a centre for glamnour and action-packed ftfe is good excitement. Canadians mnust enjoy this type of vacation, because almost 50 pet cent of visitors to Freeport are from Canada. While beaches, crystal-clear water and sunshine are the attractions during the day, Freeport becomes a roost for night-owls after dark. The city is in motion from sundown to sun-up, and seems to get its second wind after midnight. With ail the glitter sur- rounding Freeport, some peo- pie iooking for a quiet vacation might be scared off. But the builders of Freeport, which really opened for tourist traffic iess than a decade ago, had the foresight to buiid in other attractions. For example, as with ail of the Bahamian is- lands, white sand beaches abound. And there are six 18-hole championship gol f courses on Grand Bahama Island, inciuding the Bahama Reef Country Club; the Eme- raid and Ruby courses at the King's Inn & Country Club; and Grand Bahama Hotel and Country Club (West End). As for water sports. there is the usual fare of swimmning, snor- keling. sailing and fishing.
