Ontarios Premier, The Honorable William Davis, was special guest speaker at the recent 25th anniversary convention of the Ontario Weekly Newspapers Association in Toronto.1> 1At a luncheon hosted by the Ministry of Industry & Tourism, Mr. Davis, assisted by six-year-old Brett Batton from the Exeter Times Advocate, drew for a unique door prize -- a roll of newsprint, courtesy of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Mr. Davis, assisted by OW'NA President.BilI Kennedy, cut a 25th anniversary cake, designed in the form of a newspaper. The premier also presented the association with an anniversary scroll from the province, which bears a message of greeting and congratulations, and a list of over 200 member papers. In his address to the newspaper publishers from across the province, Mr. Davis highlighted the role of the weekly press, both in termas of keeping their local readers informed, and in keeping area politicians in touch with the local pulse. The speaker was Art Hand- elsman, superintendent at Pine Ridge School. H1e told the gathering how assistance could be given to the school in rehabilitating its students. Sydney J. Harmon of: the Brampton Club, is the region- ai director for, this area. e told the Canadian Statesman that Jaycees were flot a service club in that their objective was seif-improve- ment of the individual through communîty programs. H1e sta- ted that one of t he reasons Mr. Handeisman was asked to speak to the group was so they could assess the possibility of involvement in programs at the school as their project. The Oshawa Jaycees are the club sponsoring t he inaugura- tion of a Bowmanville club. The interest arose because members of that club live in this area, and because of people the Oshawa members knew in this area. The Oshawa club members in this area are Bill Stacey, Bowmanville, Larry Pooler of Orono, and Ken Nagel of Bowmanville * Where Do You Find the-I Best Roast Beef Dinner in- Durham Region? *YOU DON'T KNOW!II A * Then Find it Outaut . :THE NEW FORUM Restaurant * and Tavern (Lic.)* * On Highway 115, 2 Miles North of the 401I *YOU WILL FIN.D DINING *With Graciaus Hospitality * Pleasant Surroundings * * *"MeIt-In-the-Mouth"', Roast Beef I TRY IT SOON I We Are Open a 12 2noon tol1a.m. * Mon. to Sat.

(The lot is 67' x 165'). When the province announ- ced that Bowmanville had been approved for a day care centre, there was rampant speculation on how the loca- tion would be chosen. Mrs. Brown who is the region's Day Care Services Co-ordinator had the responsibility for choosing the site, but as she did not know the town particu- larly well, she was' shown eight or, ten sites by Mayor Garnet Rickard and Coun. who was the arrangement chairman for hast night's meeting. The Bowmanville club has nine members to date. A meeting will be held at the Bowmanville Library, March il to elect an executive. Aprîl 26 is planned as the club's charter night, if they can get the members. The club welcomes young people between the ages of 18 and 39. The club has decided to hold a Stanley Cup Draw this year on goals scored in the last seven games of the series. Money raised will be used for projects the club decides to undertake. attending Kindergarten is another proposed feature of the day care centre.

Mayor Rîckard recalis that Mrs. 13rown was shown ail of the properties which the two politicians thought were eligible. Mrs. Brown selected theo Anfossi property over two or three private homes, several vacant schools in rural areas and even the old B.H.S. building. No real estate agent was involved in locating the pro- perties. The site selection was done in one day. Once the Anfossi property had been decided upon, a qualified real estate evalua- tor, Everett R. De Hart of Oshawa, was called in'to give an independent assessmenf of the worth of the property. His assessment was $138,000. A cash offer of $130,000 was made to Dr. Anfossi and although it wjas turned down at first, it was finally accepted. The $130,000 figure was suh- stantially less than has been asked for the property. When Coun. Ken Lyall, who as local representative to the region's Social Services Com- mittee could be expected to be involved in the site selection, was asked about his role, he replied, "I know nothing about real estate in Bowmanville.", 11e went on to add that he thought the Anfossi property was an "ideal location' and that the price was "fair".* Commissioner of Social Ser- vices Doug Johns agrees with Coun. Lyall's verdict. The idea of ]ëutting the day care centre in the heart of town is so that it can be used by everyone including those who do not have cars. If it were situated out in the suburbs, single mothers who are sup- porting themselves and their children out of wages earned î in a downtown store or factory would have the added diffi- culty of finding transporta- tion. Sometimes a day care centre can allow a mother to work who would otherwise be forced into accepting welfare. When the provincial grant was first announced, MNrs. Brown predicted that the centre would open sometime in 1975. However, there seems to be a number of hold ups, and one wonders if the renovations (an estimated $60,000 worth) will he com- pleted in time, The latest snag in the process is the granting of a minor variance by the town council. It seems that the regional people have been burned by th e criticism of their tactics in choosing the original site and now are going overboard on the consultation process. Even though they did not legally need the approval of the Town of Newcastle for the minor variance, they requested it anyway and now they are tangled in red tape. Commissioner Johns is frus- trated and apparently (at least according to some coun- cillors) is threatening the town with'an ultimatum. His trump card is, of course, that the day care centre wil e 100 per cent provincially funded and if Bowmanville is not happy with the offer, Port' Perry may be. The day care centre wil offer 46 places for children between the ages of one and a haîf and five and will be staffed by eight trained per- sonnel. Costs will run Q~pprox- imately $5 per day per child. A haîf day program for chlidren PAIN'SLOUNGE A EWENTERTAINMENT POLICY!
