Friday, they flew over the area in a small aircraft, toured Park- wood Estate in Oshawa, toured the farm of Ralph Downes and performed at a public concert at Clarke High School. Saturday, they visited Toronto and toured Casa Loma and the Ontario Science Centre. During an interview with the Statesman on Friday, the two grade 12 students told of how their school, Ridgewood High, contrasts Clarke. Where Clarke has 560 students, Ridgewood bas 1500, although the two schools are the same physical size. Where the Clarke area is rural, the Ridgewood area is suburban. Where Clarke classes are relatively small (20-35), Ridgewood lectures are often attended by 200 students and labs hold 40-50 students. Where Clarke students loiter in the halls, Ridgewood stu- dents stay clear of the halls. On the whole, the two agreed that Clarke seemed to be a much freer place to go to school. But while there were notice- able differences between the two schools, the two said there was no real difference in the dress of students and they were quite surprised at th similarities present. As for their futures, Greg wants to get into electronics, while Dave wants to break into woodworking. A Musical Souvenir of Area One of the most significant events of Friday's concert by the Ridgewood Illinois Band at Clarke High School, was the presentation to the visiting band of a specially commis- sioned piece of music, "Pine Ridge". The piece, written by Frank Haworth of Norwood, was written to make the listener think of a sunny day in the Pine Ridge. Haworth was trained in composition in England and served the British Govern- ment as a musician for many years in the West Indies and Bermuda before coming to Canada in 1956 to work as a critic for the Toronto Globe and Mail, and for the Can- adian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC) as a composer as well as for freelance work. According to Clarke band director, W.E. Scoffield, he is extremely pleased that his band would have a specially commissioned piece written for it. Jura cu ny Poeyona JuridicionPotticary A joint suggestion by the Regional Finance Commis- sioner and thecommittee for regional council to scrutinize the capital budgets of the local municipalities has met strong criticism by Oshawa Mayor Jim Potticary. The mayor stated on Friday that "we in the municipalities know what we need, and further commented that he did not feel input of the region." Mayor Potticary's remarks followed the endorsement Thursday by the Finance committee of the suggestion following a presentation by TAKE A TIP FROM NAT- UREMAN'S EARS ARE - N'T MADE TO SHUTBUT HIS MOUTH 15.

The intent of Mr. Gartley's suggestion is to ensure that the OMB instructions regard- ing capital budgets are strict- ly adhered to by the eight area municipalities. 1 However, Mayor Potticary claims "we don't need anyone from the commissioner's off- ice telling us what to do. We fully realize the shortage of money." The Oshawa Mayor pointed out that the '76 capital budget, passed last week, is down some 24 per cent from the '75 figures. He insists that the sug- gestion is totally out of the jurisdiction of the finance commissioner, claiming that "the only jurisdiction for the commissioner is to sell de- bentures for the municipal- ities.
