Bernie and Bernadette Town may reconvene dialogue with Hydro Mayor. Hubbard on Monday ask- ed her council if they were receptive to reconvene communications with Ontario Hydro in a form similar to the former Newcastle Hydro Liaison committee or in some other form. In a brief discussion council members, one after another, agreed that those items now under dispute should not be included in any debate or through any committee that may be set up. Counc. Hamre said she also agreed that the current issues should not become part of the man- date of any new committee but felt that the lines of communications should be again opened with hydro. She said a number of issues are not being addressed as to the impact that the hydro development was having on the Town and these should be a matter of concern. Hamre said as long as the Town refused to meet with hydro the debate is being undertaken through the press. She suggested that some formof committee be formed. Counc. Hannah asked that the Town's legal department be asked to comment on opening the line of communiciation and to what form it should take at the present time. There was no further discussion on the matter. $100 to $110 Million Courtice Service plan It was great entertainment for Concert at the door of the hall. with the accordian, ducilmore and some 115 kids and a near equal The program was certainly violins.

Abnormal vibrations in the unit caused an investigation resulting in seminars during the three day ses- sions many centred on the CNE pageant and its requirements. The fair queen also said she was dazzled with the various acts presented at the convention by those seeking billings at local fairs in the province. Miss Myles also outlined many activities that are undertaken by Fair Queens in other areas to help promote their fairs. She said she the shutdown and the find.
