ollca sh Between Newmans There will be no clash between the Newmans, Bill and Des, for theriding of Durham West in the upcoming provincial elec- tion. Environment Minister William N e w m a n announced earlier this week that he would not seek the Progressive Con- servative nomination for Durham West, but instead the new riding of Durham North. The proposed altera- tion of electoral boundar- ies in the province moves his home in Balsam from the riding of Ontario South, which he has repre- sented since 1967, to Durham North. ' The proposed electoral boundary changes have not yet received final read- ing in the Ontario Legisla- ture but Mr. Newman ex- pects this to occur in the very near future. "This has probably been the most difficult personal decision I have had to make during my political career," lhe said,. "However, after consider- able discussion with friends and supporters, I have decided to seek the nomination in the riding of Durham North." Mr. Newman said that Vol. 5 No. 14 "the former riding of Ontario South lias been altered to such an extent that parts of it arc now in the ridings of Scarborough East, Durham North and Durham West." "Over the past few years I have said publicly that I would seek the nomination in the riding in which I live. My place of residence is now in Durham North and it is- especially important to me that a meniber lives with the people lie represents", he said. Mr. Newman said that "in the past few months, at least three potential candidates in the Durham West area have indicated that they would seek the WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1975 nomination in Durham West if I were to run in the North riding. I believe that each of these people would make an excellent member because each is highly respected in the community and would bring prov.en abilities to the people they would represent." Ajax Mayor Clark TEN CENTS Mason and Joyce Bower- man, president of the Ont- ario Progressive Conserva- tive Women's Association, are two possible candi- dates. The Liberal Party is represented by Whitby Mayor Des Newman while Dr. Charles Godfrey, chairman of People or Planes, is the Nev Demo- cratic hopeful in the riding of Durham West. The Environment Mini- -ster does not believe that "the chances of the PC Party in Durham West will adversely affected by my decision. If the results of the last provincial election are any example, it is reasonably safe to predict that with a good candidate our party will win in Dur- ham West." Whitby, Ajax and the southern part of Pickering make up Durham West. Iroquois Pool To Open Soon0...

Council was apparently unaware that the Ontario Housing Corporation is ready to sign an agreement wiîth P. Sorichetti and Sons which would allow two apartments southwest of Jeffrey and Dundas Streets to be partly taken over by the OHC. According to council members, the town has not been notified by the Ministry of Housing about this. The plan calls for 352 units in the 20 storey project 25 percent of which would be made available to the OHC. According to Planning Director, Keith Birch the plan does not conform with the town's official plan which calls for the scattering of such units in subdivisions. board. The exit ladders on either side of the deep end are designed to allow a flowing path from the diving board. Those ladders and the two in the pool's slallow end are built into rather than hanging from the walls to make exit easy. The pool is surrounded by three watchtowers for life- guards and lias six racing stripes on the floor. Another added feature is a bright line and a pool-wide buoy to mark the separation between the shallow and deep .

About 50 percent of the snow renoval equipment was back on the road by 6 p.m. ends. Urdike most pools, these markings are placed in such a position to warn swim- mers of the deep end, rather then tell them when they have entered into it. The smaller pool measures 20 feet by 35 feet and is located adjacent and perpen- dicular to the large pool's shallow end. Depth of this pool ranges from two-and-a- half feet at hie ends to three- and.a-half in the middle.
