Expensive Garbage for Clarke's Residents by Anne Kent An increase' in garbage pick-up fees for the former Township of Clarke, is being argued by their Municipal Councillor, Kirk Entwisle. In an explanation for Hale Disposal, a spokesman for that company, stated that the increase in cost is due to an elevation of gasoline, labor, and service costs. This is the first increase in two years by Hales, in the monthly collec- tion rate. These rates have been raised from three to four dollars. Mr. Entwisle exclaimed, "I will not pay the exorbitant charges demanded by Hale. I will take my own garbage to the dump. It is open for all citizens every week-day after- noon and on Saturday morn- ing." Recently quoted from a telephone interview with Mr. Hale's spokesman, "We have little customer contact. We depend on our customers to send the money in on honor system for the service. Many don't do it. We have bad debts, and the collectors refuse to try to collect the funds anymore. It is due to this situation, that Hale is naking his request for the balance of this year's costs, from May _ to December, to be paid immed- iately in one lump sum. This makes its total at $36 for Clarke residents. The comparative costs for the region are, $10 for the Village of Newcastle; $12 for Orôno; and $18 for Darlington. Entwisle drew attention to Bowmanville's order for a new truck and mentioned that such a truck could be used for the Clarke area. He further stated~that, "If Hale does not reduce his demands considerably from his propos- ed 50 per cent increase, I will insist that council intervene by advertising for tenders, or even by assuming the respon- sibility for garbage collection directly as they do now in Bowmanville." Viewing the situation objec- tively, it is imperative that we examine the other side. Ac- cording to Hale's Dis posal, "When you stop to thinkhow prices have risen in the last two years, you can see why we must have a one dollar per month increase." Dracula Horrifies Oshawa Audience by Anne Kent Eastdale C.V.I. Theatre was the scene of an evening of horror as the Oshawa Little Theatre presented Count Dra- cula by Ted Tiller. On the evenings of May 2,3,4, and 5, the play, under the capable direction of Janet Stevenson succeeded in spook- ing its nerve-racked audience with this fine melodramatic production. Upon entering Eastdale, the unsuspecting theatre-goer ws set upon by mysterious maid- ens cloaked in black - the infamous vampire had al- ready left his mark! The performance itself was a great success, the actors and actresses presented most con- vincing roles. J. Cheyne, in his portrayal CORRECTION In the report last week of an address given at Rotary by J. Forbes Heyland, it stated that he was the first agricultural representative in this area, which is incorrect. He was the first President of Durham County Federation of Agricul- ture. of Count Dracula, displayed a remarkable gift of stage presence and a tremendous command of his role. Gail Cheyne, cast in the role of the count's victim, Mina, also distinguished herself as a fine actress, easily capable of handling the difficuit double role with skill and imagina- tion. I found it of particular interest to note the insight of one of the actors - T. Gardner. Mr. Gardner depicted the role of Renfield, a lunatic, with great enterprise and inven- tion. This was Mr. Gardner's first stage appearance and he fared remarkably well, steal- ing the show during several of Renfield's antics. The Oshawa Little Theatre deserves to be proud of this presentation, wbich was pro- duced by T. Castaldo. In more than one instance the mysterious and treacher- ous deeds of the nefarious count, aided by such astound- ing technical effects as the magical disappearance of Dracula and the unexpected flight of a bat into the audience, sent some of the weaker members of the aud- ience on a hurried exit from the theatre. All in all, fine entertainment for every member of the family. Employment Conditions Ther was an increase in the number of clients registered for employment during the month of'April. This was attributed to the considerable number of secondary and post secondary students registered for summer employment. Sep- arate "Canada Manpower Centres For Students" were opened in Oshawa and Ajax during the latter part of the month. Total client registra- tions including students, for April consisted of 2,821 male and 2,670 female clients. Automobile and allied in- dustries continued to have employees on lay-off while several other manufacturing firms were in the process of negotiatng new union con- tracts. These somewhat un- settled industrial conditions resulted in some curtailment of additional hirings in the industrial sector of the local economy. Construction activity in- creased moderately with addî- itional orders received i construction tradesmen d laborers. Tobacco growers commen- ced recruiting workers for planting in May, experiencing some difficulty in locating suitable help. Vacancies for landscape laborers increased during the month with a number of employers taking advantage of industrial train- ing programs to meet demand for qualified workers. Clerical and sales workers remained in fair demand, with the majority of orders being filled from local supply. Vacancies in the service occupations increased stead- ily, predominently in domestic occupations such as babysit- ters, housekeepers and day- workers. A total of 480 persons were placed in employment during the month. The majority of placements were made in the construction and transportâ- tion industries as wel as wholesale and retail trade establishments and personal service industries. Some shortages of qualified workers continued in the following occupations - car- penters, bricklayers, painters, aluminum siding installers, landscape laborers, uphol- sterers, motor vehicle mech- anics and body repairmen.
