As a result of the withdraw- al of a motion by Northum- berland and Newcastle school board trustee George Blyth, a February 12th decision approving the continuation of the French immersion pro- gram in Cobourg and Bow- manville will stand. Though the issue can be re-opened again; which under board ground rules is per- missible, the established French immersion courses will be continuing until the end of Grade 8. At a meeting held last Thursday evening in Cobourg, two delegations backed by the support of 40 parents succeed- ed in overcoming Mr. Blyth's previous motion which he claimed did not reflect his intentions. The agenda word- ed his motion as follows: "That there be no further Telephone 668-3346 TIMOTHY J.

His thought was that, a great deal of emphasis should have been placed upon our inter-relation and our inter-dependence with our family members, our neigh- bours and our fellow workers. H1e feit that at this time we need to look at ourselves and realize that it is for each one of us to feel responsible for our country's reputation and affairs. This was a very fine a ddress and those who, heard it are much the richer. Mr. Rebin was accompanied by bis teen-age son and as they travelled through the pro- vince, this young man was gaining tremendously because of the involvement and ex- pressions of his father who was speaking out on Canadian concern to Ontario audiences.

Reject Park (From Page One) been charged $100, as would a single family unit on a lot created by consent of the Region's Land Division Comn- mittee. Ail other dwelling units would have been charg- ed $550. Mr. Howden did explain to Mr. Veltri however, that in the case of apartment construc- tion, if the total of the charges per units in the building proved in excess of the allowable five per'cent of the property value, the developer would only be charged the lesser amount. The recorded vote brought a tie with Councillors Allin, Hobbs and Tink voting in favor of its approval while Cowman, Lyall and Entwisle voted negative. Mayor Rick- ard broke the tie with a negative vote, defeating the bylaw but advising that in doing so he wished to see some better way determined to raise such funds. In that light, Coun. Entwisle moved that the entîre matter be reconsidered at the samne time as the town's lot levies are reviewed. Mr. Veltri had been asked during the meeting if hie feit the whole park levy system j should be erased to which he replied "if you can afford it, yes". Coun. Lyall also supported1 that feeling, suggesting that iti is the "goofy planning laws of1 the province which have caused the.high housing cost" n le ry ýe is he rs he id of at t, he n- ts n [c a n- o- p- of se r, al to a 'y Mayor Rickard backed up Coun. Hobbs' opinion, suggest- ing that it would be "similar to asking where the sun is in the sky at 12 noon." One of the main questions in the matter seems to be whether a mini-golf and driving range can be consider- ed in the same category as a golf course. The Reid brothers fail to see what differentiation of the two councils can make. Planning director George Howden sees one possible difference being that the mini-golf might be looked on as a commercial venture in which case he does not feel the amending of the bylaw would be possible. Claiming they would not have spent the $2,600 if they had been told the mini-golf did not fit in the category of a golf course, which the present agricultural zoning permits, the Reid brothers are further insistent that the proposed site is not prime agricultural land. In addition to Mr. Reid's presence Monday, council were in receipt of a letter from the Town of Newcastle Rate- payers. The letter states that the mini-golf is incidental to their motive which is explained as being "to promote consistency in the spirit of the law so that it may more readily be under- stood and respected by all ratepayers. In that light, the ratepayers, while not being in unanimous agreement that either type of golf course should be permit- ted in an agricultural zone, agree that one should not be outlawed while the other is permitted.

Kendal On Friday evening several from the area attended the Variety Show in Courtice United Church. Members of the Couples Club contributed a number to the program. At the card party on Friday evening the prizes went to the following: High Lady - Mrs. Joyce Stacey, low lady - Mrs. Jill Hancock, High Man - Reg Elliott, low man - Mrs. Dora MacDonald playing on a gent's card. The 50-50 draw was won by Mrs. Stacey also. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hoy, Mr. James Hoy and Mr. R.L. Hoy recently visited Mrs. M. Tattersoll of Oshawa to help Mrs. Tattersoll celebrate her 8lst birthday. Police Cuts (From Page One) and as all calls presently come into headquarters, they will be relayed from there to the patrol cars the same as they are at present. The cost saving endeavor is one of six which the commis- sion is making in cutting its '76 expenditure by $211,037. According to Mr. Jermyn, approval of the recommenda- tion by council would see the two offices phased out by June 30. Other cuts being made include a reduction in the number of new recruits from 16 to 12 for a saving of $154,934, reducing the inflation factor to nine per cent from 10 per cent for both civilian and non- civilian employees. A saving of $1,440 will be made by cutting the travelling account for the commission- ers attending conferences. As the closing of the two offices will supply extra furniture and fixtures, that account will be reduced by $5,200 while ceasing publica- tion of the annual police report will save another $4,500. In submitting the revised budget to the finance commit- tee, Mr. Jermyn stressed that they had "made every effort possible to meet our objective of $250,000. "There are no other recom- mendations we can make without impairing police pro- cedure that would be unac- ceptable to us", he added. He further advised that the budget cuts had not been ekamined on a basis of muni- cipality by municipality as "we are policing a region," the philosophy he assured the commission had used in con- sidering the budget cuts. The submitted recommen- dations have been granted the unanimous support of the police commission, Mr. Jer- myn advised the finance committee. Mr. Jermyn explained that the members of the safety bureau which presently oper- Police Search (From Page One) as being a male-white, 22 to 26 years, five feet, 10 inches in height, 135 to 140 pounds of thin to medium build. He has black, curly hair to the bottom of the ears, a round face with deep set dark eyes and is said to have blinked continually. His voice is said to be without accent and complexion med- ium. He was seen wearing a casual shirt and pants, pos- sibly jeans. The above suspect is said to have been in the company of a second, also male-white, age 19 to 20, six feet one to two inches, 140 to 155poundsvery slim build, long, straight brown or blonde shoulder length hair, wearing casual slacks and dress shirt, also with no accent in the voice. A van seen in the area is described as a 1969-1970 Chev, Model 108. light blue in color (similar to Consumer's Gas Blue) equipped with white, vertical, California style mirrors on each side. The van was seen in the area of 147 Elmhurst Avenue in the early hours of Feb. 8, driving from beside the victim's home with its lights out and may have been connected with the murder and driven by the suspects. Metro Chief Harold Adam- son advises he is authorized to offer a reward of $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder. The reward, payable in Canadian funds, expires on Mar. 5, 1977 and the identity of any person supplying in- formation will be treated with strict confidence. Persons having information connected with this case are asked to contact Metro Toron- to Police, collect, by telephone or telegraph. The telephone number is 1-416-967-2222. Golf Issue (From Page One) what difference there is be- tween a mini-golf and a full scale golf course and ask council to amend the govern- ing bylaw. The Reid brothers presented their proposal to former Building Inspector Charles Warren prior to his retirement at the end of 1975 and were granted permission to proceed with it. However, they have since been advised by the town's new chief building inspector Howard Wight that the bylaw only permits a golf course and not a mini-golf. This fact was learned by the Reid brothers after they had spent some $2,600 in acquiring lease of the land and purchase of equipment on judgment that Mr. Warren's clearance of the project was valid. Coun. Ann Cowman lost out Monday in an attempt to aid the Reid brothers, receiving no seconder to a motion. Coun. Cowman's motion was to consult the town's solicitor Ed McNeely to deter- mine if it would be legal for the council to grant relief to the bylaw on the particular piece of property in question for the duration of the lease. Coun. Ivan Hobbs sternly advised that such would just not be possible, a fact he believed strongly that council realized, and questioned why the town should pay for legal consultation for the 'same answer. ates out of the Whitby office, located on Rossland Road, across from Regional head- quarters, will assume posi- - DRIED tions in other Regional Police Buildings.
