Bob Short made the observation after re- ceiving approval for a public meeting to be held to discuss the issue of declining enrolment. "Since 1973,. when our official plan was adopt- ed, we've had a dramat- ic drop in student enrol- ment," Short said. Because of this and other factors, the plan- ning department ·has been forced to re- examine school site designations throughout the town. These changes would require amendments to the official plan, there- fore, 'a public meeting must be held. "Whereas 10 years ago, 15 per cent of a given population could be assumed to consist of elementary public school students, today that figure is only 12 per cent,"Short said. 'When reviewing sub- division applications for areas south of Rossland Road,' he added, "both the Durham Board of Educationand the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Boarci have found that they no longer require school sites in several areas wfiere sulch designations are presently shown." The time and place of the public eeting has yet to be announced. Youths charged Two 13-year-old maïe juveniles have been charged after another juvenile was struck by a pellet fired from a pellet gun. Accor-ding to a spokes- man for the Durham Regional Police Force, a Holliday Drive youth was standing on the street when struck. The victim was not seriously injured.

T.V. OR NOT T.V. As you might possibly surmise from previous column; I have a pet peeve - T.V. and radio com- mercials. Why do advertisers feel they have to in- sult our intelligence in order to sell a product? Why can't they simply state the merits of their wares, possibly adding an aesthetic quality and leave it to our intelligence as to when and if we wish to buy? Possibly it's because they are not aware we are blessed with a sufficient mentality to choose for ourselves, without shall we be polite and say prom- pting. I wonder how many of us would make a hasty visit to Disneyland North.if we admitted to finding, let alone talking to a boatful of singing men in our toilet tank, or'a semi-operatic gentleman springing into our kitchen to put a sparkle on our culinary equip- ment. This media ballyhoo is a marvelous teacher for our younger generation too. "Who wants gum?" "I do"...."Gimme an Eggo"....a great lesson in man- ners. "Who drank my Crush?"..."Not me, it evapor- ated": never tell the truth unles's you're forced to. Slide down mud banks in your best white outfit; jump and bounce on beds; roller skate through the kitchen - it's all-a part of growing up. Wow! The audio-visual media has become such a farce wi,th their commercials just lately do they really expéct the populace to take them seriously? See you next week......Roxanne Reveler Brooklin Bakery drop off Fridays, before noon please 655-4951 HANDMADE CRAF TS 69 Baldwin St., Brooklin LESSONS Ceramic & Macramne E FP! FAUX Ct.EANMN cuslyt K&M CLEANERS SAME DAY SERVICE ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS FRESHEN YOUR FABRICS You have shined your home but did you remember to pay attention to the household fabrics? These fabrics add much color and war- mth to your rooms. Make sure you do not forget them. Comforters: Before you clean a comfort- er, repair all splits and broken seams and make sure the com- forter is closely quilt- ed, tied or tacked so the batting will not pull apart. Soak the comforter in a detergent and water solution for 15 minutes to an hour with moderate agita- tion every five min- utes. Or better still, trust your comforters to a professional cleaner, and point out any heavily soiled areas to your cleaner. You can spruce up your home on the out- side but trust the In- side to K & M Cleaners. We will treat your articles with care. Bring them to us for sprucing up and a fresh, bright look. BARBECUE STAINS This is the time for backyard barbecues, easy living and fun. But as much as we enjoy the summer, it is a difficult time for your clothes. The food is covered with deliclous barbecue sauce, but no matter how careful you are, some of the sauce or mustard from your hot dogs will always find its way to the center of your shirt or blouse. What can be done about these stains? Have them cleaned promptly. Do not allow the stains to re- main on the gar- ments. Stains are easier to remove when fresh, espe- cially mustard. The International Fabricare Institute suggests you take your clothes to a pro- fessional cleaner. Many garments 'can be damaged by home stain removal att- empts. We at K & M Cleaners have the knowledge and the facilities to remove the stains safely. We will take good care of your clothes. Do not worry about stains and enjoy your sum- mer barbecues. c4 (2eaning åeSw.c7ice for £I Enz U andy 112 COLBORNE ST. W., WHITBY 668-2831 1 dom BROOKLIN HOME BAKERY & DELICATESSAN 61 BALDWIN ST.
