Clarke township rejects planning board recommendatior The Township of Clarke Council at a special meeting last Thursday turned aside a recommendation of the Clarke Planning Board in a split decision. The Planning Board had recommended to council that council not consider the applications of Rice Construc- tion Company and Howard Payne to establish mobile home parks on their respect- ive properties south of 401 highway within the Township. The Board pointed out that such developments did not coincide with the proposed Official plan. Council was split in reject- ing the recommendation of the Planning Board with Council- lors Charles Reid and Robert Chater supporting a motion to reject the recommeidation while councillor Garry Hey- koop and Deputy-Reeve Kirk Entwisle were opposed to the motion of rejection. Reeve E.R. Woodyard broke the tie by casting his vote in favour of the motion. Councillor Reid also pre- sented a motion that council approve in principle the sub- missions for Mobile Home Parks and that council form- alize agreements with the owners. The motion did not receive a seconder with the result that the proposals have been tabled. At the meeting on Thursday council considered a report submitted by the reeve in support of the proposals. Also during the course of the meeting briefs were presented in opposition to the Mobile Home Parks by deputy-reeve Entwisle and Planning Board member Douglas Moffatt. As these two reports could not be discussed with the limited time the proposals have been tabled to a later date whern the two briefs could be studied by members of council.

An exquisite selection of quilts in varying patterns, colours, and fabrics can be seen, one of which is a quilt made from satin scraps left over from the linings of silverware chests. Also fea- tured is the "Dresden Plate" quilt which won first prize at the Durham Central Fair, Orono. Pretty patterns such as "Daisies", "Sail Boats", "Dutch Boys," "Neck Ties", and "Umbrella Ladies" are shown -and the "Colonial Lady" is the pattern presently being quilted. Each piece of "Colonial Lady" is a different fabric and each "Lady" is different but the overall effect is a delightful balance of colour and pattern. The ladies of the Kirby group will be quilting during museum hours and will ans- wer any questions that you may have. The museum is located at Church and Centre Sts. Orono and the hours are 2:30 to 5:00 p.m., 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday Orono Zoo" and was complete with cages dogs aud a cat.
