p 4 The, Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 19, 1975 Shaw's Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wood recently returned from a very enjoyable cruise on the Medi- terranean and they have many interesting things to tell about their trip. Their first stop at Morocco had to be cancelled because of an outbreak of cholera so they visited Algiers, N. Africa, Capital of Algeria, the tenth largest country of the world with a population of 15,000,000. It is a very backward place by our standards with evidence of many very poor people. How- ever, their next stop at the lovely city of Tunis with its blue and white buildings, veiled women and white-robed men on donkeys was quite a startling contrast. The Italian Islands of Sard- inia and Sicily were next on the schedule. Sardinia, which Morty' Auto Repair 6233896 a Queen S. Bowmany i is noted for its salt pans, was so dry through a stretch of six months without any rain. The Island of Sicily is a beautiful place now though unhappy in ancient times. At Palermo thev saw the Monks and the miles of Catacombs which were used in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries as underground places for Christian worship and buriel. In Naples the travellers visited the cameo factory and found fascinating the making of cameo jewelry from large shells. Just fourteen miles away Mr. and Mrs. Wood were so impressed by the ruins of the city of Pompei which was destroyed in 79 A.D. by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and they marvelled at the welf- preserved house of the Vetti which was excavated in 1894. After a visit to the famous resort city of Sorrento the Woods were very fortunate indeed to make a Sunday visit to Rome where they, along with the 300,000 othersdn St. Peter's Square, received the Pope's blessirig. While in Rome they saw the modern city as well as the ancient ruins such as the home of Julius Caesar and the first Pagan temple built by Augus- tus some 2000 years ago with its high walls and huge domed top. They also viewed several magnificent works of art done by Michelangelo. On their tour of the beautiful French Riviera they saw the famous Casino in Monte Carlo and even saw the palace of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco. Their last stop was a Majorca, the lovely summer resort, before they sailed back to Malaga, Spain. Since they had some extra time there, a horse and buggy were hired which provided them with a lovely and relaxing ride around the city and a visit to the famous Bull Ring before the boarded the plane for home. When the postal strike is over and all the films are back we'll be hoping for an interest- ing evening when we can .see and hear more about this splendid holiday for Margaret and Lewis. Arline Ayre was hostess last week for a luncheon and family shower for her niece Louanne Ayre-previous to ber forthcoming marriage on Dec. 27th. Assisting with the party were Audrey Gardiner, Cindy Russell, Oshawa and Wendy Ayre. Bob, Eleanor and John Watt, Tottenham former Assoc. Agricultural Rep. for Durham visited the Rod Stork family last weekend. Thirty-nine local ladies travelled by bus to the Kitten Mills at Lanark, Ont. last Wednesday. There was a sale of woollen items and the ladies appreciated the special dis- counts offered to such a large group. The trip via Hwy. 7 was most enjoyable with lots of good sociability and fun and they returned by Hwy. 401. They stopped enroute at a local cheese factory and had a delicious supper near King- ston. A donation from this group to Mrs. Gladys Acosta of Puerto Rico will be made from the extra proceeds from the bus fare. This excellent means of raising money for Missionary work was organiz- ed by Alice Beech and ber sister June Bragg. Clarence and Muriel Yeo, Hampton called on Friday on their way to Gerrits for apples. They especially want- ed the new Spartan variety which they had purchased last year from Martin. Apparently they kept extremely well and were excellent for both eating raw and cooking. Karen Dow attended the Royal Winter Fair on Satur- day in preparation for the Ladies' Lead Class in Sheep, to be held Wed. afternoon. It is to be a large class with competitors from as far away as Maine, U.S.A. We wish ber well. The Shaw's Community Club executive met last week to discuss their future use of the school. Mr. Lewis Wood presided and commented on some of tþe discussions which have taken place between the School Board members, the Bowmanville Kinsmeri Club and himself. The whole execu- tive is pleased to know that the Kinsmen members have been able to reach a satisfactory agreement with the Board and a desire to co-operate with tbem in any of their endea- vours was expressed. Thelma Lane gave the Treasurer's report which re- vealed a balance after the sale of a number of Shaw's booklets to the Board of Education for placement in all the area schools. Kenneth Bragg reported that there are still a few copies of Shaw's history books available for collectors and others who are interested. Barbara Wood commented on the successful ball games last summer with the hope that some winter activities can be arranged. Thanks were expressed to John and Stan Lane for their fine job as coaches for the ball games. A committee to meet the Kinsmen was formed consist- ing of Lewis Wood, Annabelle Rickard, Margaret Killeen, Kenneth Bragg, Barbara Wood and Gertrude Hendrikx. Several winter projects were discussed. Rod and Marlene Stork, Michael and Trevor were luncheon guests with Bev and Betty Ells on Sunday, follow- ing the christening of Trevor John Stork and Blair Robert Ells at St. Paul's United Church. Mr. and Mrs. Seldon Parker and family of Oakwood called on the Wm. Bragg's on Sunday. The Royal Winter Fair, going on this week, provides many educational opportuni- ties in its agricultural demon- strations. Of local interest, we understand that several loads of lambs have gone from this vicinity to be part of a shearing demonstration. Inci- dently, one group of Dow's market lambs sold surprising- ly well in view of their class placing. Mrs. Margaret Bragg, Dan and Ruth Girardi and girls met Robert and Jean Stewart, Southampton, at the Royal last Saturday. They thorough- ly enjoyed the Fair and found the Bee exhibit especially interesting.' Mrs. C. T. Williams and Mrs. R. McDaniel both of Ottawa, were weekend guests of their granddaughter, Mrs. Don Rickard at Ceresmore last week. along with Don and Gail they attended the wed- ding of Gail's sister, Miss Joan Willams to Mr. Bill Candy in St. Luke's Anglican Church, Mississauga. THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM FINANCE DEPARTMENT 605 ROSSLAND ROAD E. P.O BOX 623, WHITBY. ONTARIO LIN 6A3 (416) 668-7711 Dear Customers: We would like to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on the new Regional Water Billing System for Water and Sewer purposes. Effective January 1, 1974, the Regional Municipality of Durham became responsible for all water and sewer activities within it's boyndaries. Since that time, we have been assuming on a progressive basis, the duties of the local Public Utilities Commissions with respect to the water and sewer functions. We are now in the process of complet- ing the implementation of the new computerized billing system which we believe will be extremely useful and economical. We would like to take this moment to highlight for you some of the major features of the new system. 1. Regional Water Bills A new Regional water-bill, with a detachable stub, will allow for uniform billing information throughout the Region. In the past, ome areas combined the water bill with the hydro bill. 2. Billing Schedule Due to centralization of this function, it has been necessary to reschedule certain areas to allow for an even billing schedule. As a result, the first bill you receive could vary from a 30 to 120 day period (1 to 4 months). However, every bill after this will be a regular quarterly (3 month) billing for residential and commercial accounts, and monthly billing for industrial users. 3. Payments Payment may be made with no service charge, by cheque through the mail, or by cheque or cash in person at Regional Headquarters, Regional Municipality of Durham, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby, or witha nominal charge at any chartered bank within the Region. (Note: Payment may not be made at local Public Utilities Commissions.) 4. Rate Schedule All water and sewer rates conform to those already in existence since 1973 in your area. As you can appreciate costs have increased dramatically since 1973 and this will necessitate a rate.increase in the near future. 5. Meter Reading In the future meter reading for all areas except Oshawa will be performed by Regional Staff on an annual basis, with estimated readings for the balance of the year. These are only a few highlights of the new billing system. inquiries should be directed to Regional Headquarters, Finance Department, Water Billing Section, Regional Municipality of Durham, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby, at 668-7711.
