i ) Byline... By Peter Parrott Couple Wins Trip to Seminar Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 22, 1962 3 Delegates at Ontario PC Meeting I have not always been a fan of newspaper columns. It is no easy job to string together words and sentences which make the reader laugh or cry or think. And I admire the fortunate few who can do the job with skill. I think a column is something which is easy to do poorly and difficult to do well. But a column is a dream come true for most writers. Turning a writer loose on a space containing his by-line, photograph, and innermost thoughts is a little like letting a child run freely in a candy store. Unfortunately, the writer's thoughts are not always as interesting to the reader as they are to him. rm afraid many readers stifle a yawn as they peruse the work of another scribe writing another column about his dog, his kids, his car, and all the other subjects of which columns are made. Writing a column is a special skill. Ideally, columnists should be treated like relief pitchers or football place kickers: they should be keenly trained to do one small job very well. So as I start this column, I feel a little like a utility outfielder about to pitch an inning on the mound. As a reader, I know what I'd expect to see in a column; as a writer, I know that's a difficult order to fill. I will try to have something to say each week and will attempt to say it in an interesting way. I will try to keep the first commandment for anyone who writes anything longer than a grocery list and that commandment is: "Thou shalt not bore thy reader to tears". It's going to be a challenge. I won't say I can't meet that challenge, only that I'll try. Council Briefs :ing t ublic castle's public works department department and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Communications is scheduled for next Tuesday to sort out the funding funding being provided for the reconstruction of Hwy. Two under the province's Connecting Connecting Link Agreement. Council's general committee committee has deferred the reconstruction reconstruction of Holt Road between between Hwy. 401 and the Base Line Road until 1983 because of a breakdown in negotiations involving the purchase of a piece of property connected with the project.

By Rod Stork, Acting Agricultural Representative SMALL BUSINESS INVESTMENT GRANT We have had a number of enquiries from farmers regarding regarding the Small Business Investment Grant. This program was one of the ones announced in the Federal Budget of June 28th. Under the general terms of the program, an interest reduction reduction grant of up to four per cent on borrowings by small businesses from financial institutions institutions for the purchase of new depreciable property. Loans to finance purchase of land, automobiles or property for lease do not qualify. The rate of interest cannot be reduced reduced below 12 per cent. The program is available to sole proprietors, partnerships or corporations. It would finance finance expenditures after June 28,1982 and before March 31, 1983. As we understand it, the Federal Government will repay repay the lender up to four per cent on an instalment basis over the first two years of the loan. Unlike the Small Business Bond program, the net interest interest could be deducted as a business expense. The minimum minimum eligible is $10,000 and the maximum is $500,000. We have talked with some of the local lending institutions and as yet they have received no concrete details, applications applications or related material about this program. At the moment, all we can suggest if you feel you qualify for this Investment Grant, is that you maintain contact with your bank manager or whoever whoever you are .dealing with. Hopefully, details will be finalized finalized soon so that farmers can take advantage of this pro-, gram.

The morning of August 14, 1982 dawned warm and sunny, and the members of D.R.G.D.S. were out bright and early choosing those spikes from their gardens which they hoped would bring them a ribbon in this year's annul show. Memorial Park Club House, in Bowmanville, was the scene of our show, and it was alive with action early in the morning, morning, as our exhibitors staged their bloom for show. Marg Killeen, our Social Convenor, and her team of ladies scur-. ried around setting up the "hospitality room." Bryon Samis, our Show Chairman, was also on the go all morning, making sure that everyone got their displays in the proper place. As it drew closer and closer to the "judging hour" he was very hard to pin down, as he readied his team of clerks. Our Vice Chairman and Assistant Show Chairman, Chairman, Bertha Barnes, was caught once, taking a quick break in the hospitality room. Tut! Tut! Unforgiveable! Our President, Dudley Deeley spent most of his time staging his Dahlias. I was positive he'd grown roots, there in the midst of his lovely blooms, as he was there every time I looked around. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, the Judges completed completed their difficult tasks, and the front door was opened to admit the crowd assembled on the front steps. The room was, at first glance, a fairytale fairytale of color, and the "oooh's" and "ahhh's" were very audible as each visitor stepped stepped in and took in the scene of rainbow hues about them. Among our visitors, were two busloads from neighboring Horticultural Societies. Many went away vowing to grow Gladiolus next year. Our day was brought to a close with an auction of bloom by the Society's good and longtime longtime friend, Stephen Liptav, who donates his invaluable service to us every year.
