2The Canadian Statesman. Bowmpnville. October 1 6.1974 The Newcastle Indepen Editor Helen Lovekin It bas been woefully com- mented by teachers and parents alike that their child ren don't read as much as they could or should. Although the librarians at Newcastle Public Library may agree with the above statement to some extend, they seem to have no trouble looking for youngsters to use their resources. Mrs. Carol Bennet told me that students are usihg the library regularily for projects as well as for enjoyment. The children's department bas just had a number of picture books for children of tender years and paper backs for those of ages eleven to fifteen. For sehool work there is a good selection of resource material, ranging from ency_ clopedias to comprehensive Councillors asked represen- tatives of Saint Mary's Ce- ment to attend the Finance committee meeting on Mon day, and inform them as to conditions resulting from the blasting at the quarry near the plant. Councillors told J. Downs of St. Mary's Cement that they had received a number of complaints from residents about broken windows after blasts. Mr. Downs said that all blasts were fully monitored by a company hired by Saint Mary's Cement. A representa- tive of that company was present to show proof that the blasting was weln within the lîmît ot noise and ground vibration that might cause damage. Council expressed their feel- ing that more PublicRelations was required to inform these residents as to what was happening. Mr. Downs re ort- ed that they were going fnom the mtin f theh hnme of one A GOOD SALESMAN IS A FELLOW WHO CAN CONVINCE HIS WIFE SHE LOOKS FAT IN A PUR COAT.

For those adults who don't make it to the library as often as them might, there are many new books that might entice you into doing some extra reading. In the fiction category, there are a number of best sellers such as: Tinker Tailor, Soldier Spy, by John Le Carry, Dogs of War, by Fredrick Forsill, The Diviner, by Canadian Margret Law- rence, Centennial, by James Mitchener and Break Heart Path, by Allistar McLean. In the non-fiction category two highly recommended books available at the New- castle Library are, The Women He Loved; the story of Wallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor, and Anlya which of the residents who had complained to them, to help clarify the situation. Council will receive a report on what takes place. (From Page One) United Kingdom. Wednesday night he spoke to the club on the role of a person in the diplomatic service, as well as giving a plug for a book he is having published entitled "The Siren Years". He began his address saying that there was a misconcep- tion about people in the foreign service, a faded gla- mor of people operating be- hind closed doors in a profes- sion that bas become as "out moded as the brontosaurus. The reason being, the dealing with issues such as nuclear arms, inflation, etc. and not so much the cementing of good relations, Mr. Ritchie explain- ed. He told how in the early days diplomats could almost "get' away with murder" because of the distance be- tween them and the home country. But now he says there are telephone calîs, teletyped correspondence, etc. every day, as well as a stream of delegates from the homeland which have to be met and catered to on a regular basis. The delegates he referred to as "Kissengers atid Mini-Kissengers". Mn. Ritchie on the subject of ~Commfnittp an told how the cipontic disatoches had been t. ThIer.ewas a time when the ambassador had to keep his country informed as (o the atmosphere in the country where he was station- ed. This was done through a confidential report. Now with the newspapers carrying world events, the dispatches have been eut to only that which is confidential, he stated. Mr. Richie stressed the importance of an ambassador to keep on good terms with the government of the country where he is stationed, and added that to get on bad terms was easily done. The easiest way to do this was to appear "too big for your boots". An example of this being the diplomat who used the word "I" three times in a speach and was marked by superiors for replacement. Politicians and diplomats are different animals, Mr. Ritchie stated. He told how a politician visiting a country tries to prepare a speech and DELOITTE, HASKINS & SELLS Chartered Accountants OFFICES IN MAJOR CANADIAN CITIES Bell Canada Building OSHAWA CENTRE, OSHAWA Partners: Josef Adam, B.Sc.

Mr. Rice told the committee' that the company would not ask for the money to be return- ed. Fowler, a director with the company, representing the Royal Bank who own 50 per cent of the* company. Mr. Fowler told the committee of the success of the company in its projects. That, on an American rating system of stars, representatives of tbis group had given the projects a five-star rating,. which is the highest standard. He also mentioned how the projects hîad been on two national shows, i.e. Market Place, where it was given favorable publicity. He went on to say that in two years of operation the company has not received, one NSF cheque from resi- dents in their Sandy Cove project. The residents making two payments each month and do not have that muchmoney, Mr. Fowler added. It was Councillor Don Wearn who feit that council was discussing details that could be worked out, once council decided whether or not they wanted such a project mi Newcastle. The recommenda- tion was made to council that it be approved in principle although not necessarily for the area proposed, and that government input be sought by Mr. Rice. The committee passed the recommendation unanimously. >Accidents (From Page One) first accident, several people stepped out on the road.

The politician gets the feeling ttiat tus message is getting watered down, while the diplomat is considering what is viable as far as on goiog negotiations are concerned. The oppositeto this is no dialogue which is disastrous as shown by a number of present world events, he stated. Mr. Ritchie told of being the ambassador to the United States during the argument on having nuclear arms on Cana- dian soil. The point of interest made about this period was that when Canada criticized their U.S. view point, it was far more irritatiog than any other country doing it, the United States considering Canada a distant cousin. On the question of women in the diplomatic corps, Mr. Ritchie stated that there shouid be more of themn. He pointed out that al othemH far have been either single or widows. The reason was that it would be hard to have a husband wondering in a for- eign capital with little he can do. He told of the lonely and very social life of the wife of an ambassador, not having a home of ber own, and having to manage a household of servants. She is out of contact with her family, always on show and can't change the decor in the embassy, the government not being able to spend funds for this, with every new ambassador. Another point about being in the diplomatic service is the separation'from your child- ren. The government pays the cost of placing the chldren in boarding schools. To the impression that such treat_ ment causes disturbed child- ren, Mr. Ritchie stated -I doubt it". lie said that (bliad seen disturbed children corne from familles who have lived in the same house on the same street for 50 years. In conclusion, Mr. Ritchie mentioned the lonely life of an ambassador, and how he had resorted to diary writing. From his diaries he is publishing a book "The Siren Years". The book is being published by MacMillan's. The book depicts his impres- sions of events which happen- ed, during the Second World War in London. He read three passages from his diaries at the meeting.
