A report from the Town's fire chief has disclosed that salaries to volunteer firemen attending calls at a single Town of Newcastle auto wrecking yard from January 1978 to July 1979 cost the taxpayer $3,604.50. In this 18 month period the Town's fire department responded to eight calls at Dom's Auto Wreckers, Courtice, expending 29 fire- fighting hours. Fire Chief Jim Hayman later told the Statesman this $3,604.50 figure by no means represents an actual cost since it does notinclude the ~epense of fire truck opera- tion, nor compensation for supervisory time. In view of pending provin- cial legislation which will terminate the Ministry of Environment's responsibility for certifying dereUct motor vebicle sites as of December 1979, the fire chief's report was submitted for information at a lanning meeting last Thurs ay. The Ministry has requested local municipalities to consider passing by-laws for the licensing of wrecking yards and controlling their establishment through zoning by-laws. In addition to the frequency and cost of the fire calls to Dom's, Councillor Ann Cowman stated she bas received numerous complaints from people in the Courtice area pertaining to an unfavorable parking situation along the road fronting the wrecker's property. Conceding an adequate by-law would regulate the activities of all wrecking yards, the Planning Commit- tee passed a recommendation which authorizes the planning department. to prepare the necessary zoning by-law amendments for, control of derelict motor vehicle sites. The matter of licensing these wrecking yards is to be placed with the Town's finance and administration committee. Mrs. L. Gifford, Guest Speaker at Solina W.I. By Mrs. W.

The regular business was dealt with and we are planning a bus trip to Erland Lee Home on December 6 and also going on to Simcoe to view the Christmas Panorama in that town. The Roll Call: "Something I would like the public to know about the Women's Institute" was well answered. Our members want everyone to know that our organization is world wide, the privilege it gives young through 4-H, the short courses and nutrition workshops available to adults, the help we give to the less fortunate and many other privileges. Mrs. L. Broome, convener of Citizenship was then called on for the program. Mrs. C. Langmaid commented on the Motto: "Home is the anchor for our Nation's Life. She commented that home train- ing is the basis for all. We were then entertained by Ollie's Dollies, a group from St. Paul's Church in Bowman- ville. Our guest speaker, Mrs. L. Giffor , was then introduced by Mrs. Langmaid. Mrs. Gifford's topic was Citizen- ship. She commented that on July lst when watching the cele- bration of Canada's 112th birthday the most significant thing to her in that whole ceremony with its varied professional performers was th presentation by our Governor General of certifi- cates of Canadian Citizenship to his own children, and the expression of happiness in simply belonging to this land. On July lst, 1867, in Ottawa, Canada, a nation was born, a daughter of Great Britain and France. Many Canadians walked that day under banners inscribed "Success to Confederation." Centennial Year played a great part in helping us to discover and understand our- selves. If any stranger would know the Canadian mind let him look at the land of Canada. So vast it is, but physical dimensions do not make a nation. It is made by man and woman who live and die in the land that shaped them citizens of that land, hopefully by those also who come to our shores and by choice make this their land by taking upon themselves the oath of Allegiance. She said a citizen is a member of a community, enjoying the rights and privi- leges of that community and bound by duties of loyalty. Naturalization is merely the act or process of conferring on an alien the rights, privileges and duties of a citizen. By becoming a Canadian citizen a person shows that he is no longer satisfied to be merely a guest in the bouse where be lives, but that he has in fact become one of the family. We believe that we should make useful to Canada all the unique good that can be found in our adopted citizens. But, they on Reaffirm, Choice of Arterial Roadway Newcastle council has agreed to reaffirm its decision on the location of Bowman- ville's north-south arterial road for the east end of town. At a meeting Monday, council agreed to send the Durham Regional Council a copy of resolutions passed by council and dealing with the road. All resolutions passed recently on the topic of the arterial road indicate Newcastle Council prefers to locate this major four-lane arterial street on Training School Rd. The Durham Region, how- ever at a recent meeting voted to rescind a previous resolu- tion on the road and bas re-opened the issue for further discussion. The decision to send the Durham Region a letter indi- cating the Town of New- castle's views on the road was recommended by Ward One Councillor Jasper Holliday. their side must be willing to co-operate, to compromise, to accept some of our Canadian traditions. The rewards of citizenship are within the reach of everyone who wants tbem. The good citizen promotes education. He supports his church and takes part with intelligence in selection of persons to represent him in all levels of government; he believes in the family unit; he does the best work o which he is capable in whatever profes- sion, trade or business he engages in; he takes part in programs for the good of his community. • He bears allegiance to ideals to the system of liberty and to the laws of this country under which Canadians live. The form of government, under which people live is part of civilization. There is no compulsion upon any citizen to vote in any election, but the good citizen will prize and will not throw away this valuable right. Here are some of the rights that are considered fundamental in Canada, and they belong to all people, to every individual and to none more than another: the right to life, to personal freedom, to earn a living, to freedom of belief and speech and to equality befoi-e the law. That word "RIGHT" bas powerful appeal. To have a home of your own, to do what you like in your spare time, to leave this country when you wish and enter it again, to select: your own amusements and t-o work at what you choose. These are rights not available everywhere in the world, but are part of the fabric of our Canadian Democracy. Ollie's Dollies again enter- tained us. Mrs. E. Hockaday moved a vote of thanks to our speaker and the group for their music. Mrs. A. Macklin of Hampton thanked our group for the privilege of meeting with us.
