14 The Canadian Statesman, lbowmanville, February 14, 1979 * A Aroun d Ujo uff Our Town - by Donna Faire y ý,Ta'ke A Break Groupn, in Seventh Year tis this gonna hurt? " These littde people were not all too certain they wanted tbe photographed while Mom was upstairs enjoying the "ITake a Break" program. The Tuesday morning pause that refreshes is the "Take a Break" program at St. John's Anglican Church. The break is in its seventh year and is open to women of all denominations. The get-to- gether provides a weekly outing for ladies to enjoy a topical, pre-planned agenda, coffee and conversation. Take a Break is held every Tuesday morning from 9: 00 to 11:00 a.m. at St. John's . The group uses the church's premises but is not affiliated with them. Baby Sitting The built-in baby sitting service bas. made "Take a Break" especially appealing to mothers with pre-school children. Infant-stage tots are tended by the mothers on a rotation system and three to five-year-olds are amused by nursery school teacher, Hilda Huigens. Present co-ordinator of "Take a, Break" is Bonnie Stockman, who wishes that the group had a larger budget that would allow it to adver- tise more fully. Women with children pay $1.25 weekly and women without, pay 75 cents which covers the cost of basic operating expenses. Stockman stated, "The group has no elected executive per se, however, a sinal volunteer group organizes and plans the meetings." Over the ygars, "Take a Break" has provided many in- teresting speakers and demonstrations, plus trips to the Oshawa Art Gallery, Bowmanville Museum, and Parkwood. Every so often, the ladies limber up with volleyball and bowling as part of their scheduled program. Discuss Wallpaper At a recent meeting, the ladies were told, "Yes you can" with Sunworthy wallpaper. A representative of Reed Wallcoverings, makers of Sunworthy, and Russell Elliott of Elliott's Decorating Center in the Bowmanville Mail were guest speakers. A Sunworthy film titled, "The Wallpaper Story" gave tips on how to realistically purchase wallpaper and the tricks of the trade regarding the mechanics of successful papering. This may well be dubbed "the year of the child" but ac- cording to Sunworthy sales, it is also "the year of wallpaper." The market has now become so mammoth that people are almost afraid to set out to choose a wallcovering for their home. In addition to a wide choice of patterns and styles now available to the consumer, much progress bas been made to simplify application. The day of the old paste bucket and brush has been replaced with easy to handle pre-pasted and dry strippable products. Wallpapering a room is no longer a day's chore. The women were informed that a knowledgeable staff at Elliott's Decorating Centre is equipped to give advice and assistance on the matter of decorating with wallpaper. For those who think they can't, Elliott's will provide the wallpaper and do it for you.

Mayor Reports On Salaries In a news release Monday, Mayor Garnet Rickard com- mented on newspaper reports published last week on proposed salary hikes for non- union staff in 1979. The confîdential report on salary discussions was not released to the press. It ap- pears the information was leaked. Mayor Rickard said these newspaper articles "have shown a betrayal of trust somewhere and something of this nature is demoralizing and discrediting to council. " He outlined the series of events which led up to the ap- pearance of these articles. Town Manager Albert Guiler, with the approval of -council, he explained, has done a great deal of research toward a salary administration program. At the intitial meeting with council on the matter, councillors received such a proposal with con- siderable back-up material. At the next meeting, he said, ail members of council, except Councillor Ivan Hobbs, were present and voted unanimously in favor of proceeding with the program. One week later, the Mayor continued, Mr. Guiler made a further presentation which was received and agreed upon. "A few days later, parts of the report started appearing in the press and what was reported was not accurate. Some of, the comments of members of Council were only partly reported and misleading. Only some salaries were referred to. Why?"1 Council members' votes were recorded "and vastly different than what was recorded in the newspaper, " stated the Mayor. "Further, I think it is fair to say that those who voted "no" may have done so because they felt some of the salaries were not high enough. It is not right to assume why a person votes negatively without an ex- planation from the person in- volved." In this municipality, he said, "salaries for administrative staff and department heads have been much lower than other people with similar responsibilities in other areas. This has been the resuit of the restraint exercised by the municipality and being locked-in by the A.I.B. guidelines. "If this town is to mature and accept responsibilities of growth, in order to save large sums of money via consultan- ts, we must recognize the im- portance of administrative staff." More, accidents occur in the home than anywhere else. St. John Ambulance suggests you organize your home for safety, and teach your childreil good safety habits. Industry exper- ience has shown that St. John Ambulance fîrst aid trainingý reduces on the job accidents by increasing safety aware- ness. St. John Ambulance re- minds you to keep potential poisons out of reach, of cbildren. Keep soaps, deter- gents, insect poisons, cleaning substances and medicines locked up or on high shelves.

No Cheddar Cheese Shortage Officiai Tells Milk Producers "There is not now, nor has there been a shortage of cheddar ceheese in Canada" stated Lorne' Hurd, General Manager of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, speaking to the Annual Meeting of Durham Milk Producers in Orono this week. "I may ne true," Mr. Hurd continued, "that there is some shortage of aged cheddar cheese but this is not the fault of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board or the milk marketing method§ but a failure of the trade to plan their future requirements properly. The issues involved have been misunderstood and misre- presented, and many public statements made about them have been either totally false or highly exaggerated," (de- clared Mr. Hurd. "Since 1973, cheddar cheese consumption in Canada has dropped about 33 per cent while at the same time, production of specialty cheeses in Ontario has increased by 70 per cent. " During the meeting the producers elected a l-member executive commit-, tee for 1979. Members elected include Neil Allin, R.R. 1, Orono; Gordon Barrie, R.R. 4, Bowmanville; Donald Welsh, R.R. 4, Bowmanville; John Wolters, R.R. 1, Blackstock; Glenn Malcolm, R.R. 1, Nestleton; Dianne Moore, R.R. 1, Cavan; Harry Kenne- dy, R.R. 1, Cavan; Jack Lancaster, R.R. 2, Port Hope; Lloyd Kellogg, R.R. 1, Port Hope, Francis Jose, R.R. 3, Newcastle. This committee will elect their officers at a later meeting. MONARCH 100% VEGT QIL MARGARINE CHAPMAN'S 2 LITRE ICE CREAM 59" LB. 1.29 BUTTERMATE 24 oz.
