No money for underground The Towship of Clarke council again withheld their decision in the matter of the Official plan and the develop- ment proposed by Rice Con- struction to establish a retire- ment complex along the lakeshore of the TownMhip.

Altogether, 17 cakes were auctioned, boosting the Fair Board's finances by a total of $175. 00. The Committee in charge thank the exhibitors for their entries in this section, and especially appreciate the gen- erous support of the auctione- i at fair ers and the following buyers: Mrs. THos.

Slater, Lawrence Hooey, Harvey Partner, Stur- rock Heating, Steve Liptay, and Waern-Texaco. A total of 358 students have enrolled in the classes at the Orono Public School, which is an increase of some thirty over last year. The increased enrolment necessitates the addition of one more portable and the eleventh full time teacher. Presently the staff includes ten full time teachers and two part-time teachers. With the addition of the new portable this year the school will have three portables in use. 'Enrolment at the school may well increase further as more move into the Orono Estates. It is the intention of the County School Board to sometime in the future to take grades seven and eight out of the Orono Public School and accommodate them in the new Senior Elementary School to be built on the present site of the Clarke High School. Plans are nbw being drawn up for this school. Could mean another pipeline through Clarke Recent policy change pro- posed by the federal govern- ment could well mean that residents of this area may be faced with another pipeline across the municipality which is being deised to supply crude oil to the Montreal market from Alberta. Up to tbis time the Montreal area has been supplied with oil froni foreign markets and the Federal Government desires to have this brought into Canadian supply. Talks are underway bet- ween Federal government and Interprovincial Pipe Lines, Ltd. of Toronto for a proposed 30 inch line to service the Vontreal area. It is under- stood that Interprovincial has studies to extend the line through this area or from Sault Saint Marie to Montreal, taking a more northern route. The route through Sault Saint Marie would be 610 miles while the route through Sarnia and this area would be 503 miles.

The Kendal club defeated Harrow in Harrow by a score of 5-1 on Saturday and on Sunday in Kendal took a 7-2 decision and thus gain the championship.

Walter Beath said this morning he feels the salary for a regional councillor should be in the neighbourhood of $5,000, and that if the candidate wants a salary of $15,000 "he should plan on getting the difference from the local municipal level." Mr. Beath said the $5,000 figure he was suggesting would be for the work done at the regional level only, and that since a regional council- lor "will be more involved on a local level than regionally," he should go after his home municipality for anything above that. "This isn't an off-the-cuff recommendation," Mr. Beath said, adding he had investi- gated the pay-scale situations in the Niagara and Waterloo regions and was planning to do the same in York. MILEAGE ALLOWANCE He also suggested a mileage allowance might he paid to offset in some way the distance many regional coun- cillors will have to travel to meetings.
