Building torn down IYtomake Z l way for NORTM ELGVATIn•C>i Afls SEEEET Snew o jice A Dundas St. E. building that was the former location of the McNeil Furniture store was torn down last week to make way for a new Family Trust real estate office. The brick building, vacant since MacNeil moved to Brock St. N., was located at the southwest corner of Dundas and Hickory streets. On Monday night, Whitby council approved the site plan application by Family Trust for a real estate and financial services office as well as general retail uses. Planning director Bob Short suggested at last week's administrative committee meeting that the Town's public works department look into street parking along Hickory St. to provide additional parking for the development. - ýl -- Slight decrease in enrolment at Durham College Durham College reports that their enrolment now stands at 2,595, a slight decrease of 3.3 per cent from last year. According to admisssions manager Gerry Pettit, the enrolment figures show that Grade 12 and 13 students are taking longer to complete their programs, to achieve the higher number of credits now required. There has also been an eight per cent decrease in the number of Grade 12 area students over the past three years. By faculty area, Durham has 670 registered in applied arts programs, 1066 in business, 432 in technology, and 427 in health services. The greatest decrease has been in the number of technology students, down 19 per cent, reflecting a province-wide trend. This is in spite of the fact that technology graduates have the highest placement rate, and in jobs of-high remuneration. Durham College night school courses have shown a dramatic increase. To date, there is a total number of 6,230 enrolled, compared to 4,896 at this time last year, an increase of 29 per cent. The trend also applies to Ajax where 572 students have been registered, compared to 439 in 1987, an increase of more than 30 per cent. The increased registration relates to most subject areas, including general interest cour- ses. Students are still registering, and most programs begin the week of Sept. 19. In addition to Durham cour- ses, there are four universities offering extension programs at the college. All report a consider- able increase in enrolment. Trent University is offering a total of 33 credit courses at Durham this fall. Enrolment in degree programs is up by approximately one-third. York University has added two half-courses this year, concentra- ting on programs related to administrative and health stud- ies. This year, an enrolment of up to 100 students is anticipated, triple the number last year. Central Michigan University is offering a master of arts in education degree at Durham College, and have added a second class. Faculty includes both American and Canadian teachers: 1111 GOLDEN GAIETf gEm RESTAURANT CHINESE FOOD BUFFET DAILY (Salad Bar Included) BIG FEAST IN LITTLE CHINA umLeks. $5.25 Dninan ae we rc.9 (more than 50 items to choose from for dinner) Dine in and take away service. 107 BROCK ST.

"Every single tree in that woods was taken down. Things like this give subdividers a bad name," said Brunelle, who esti- mated the woods contained about 1,000 trees. "Some had to come down, we understand that. But not a single tree was left standing," said Brunelle, who asked council to remember the incident if STOLP Homes comes before council for further subdivisions.
