Lions Clubs should keep the public informed of their activities in order to maintain good public relations in the community, members of the Bowmanville Lions Club were told Monday, September 13. Don Moir, district governor for area Lions Clubs, said public relations can "make or Break" a club. Mr. Moir, of Verona, Ont., made the customary district governor's visit to Bowmanville, Bowmanville, September 13. He suggested that the simple display of Lions' emblems and plaques on Lions Club projects will help to give a good image in the community. The Lions' status in the community can also be enhanced,by preparing press releases and keeping in contact with the press, radio, and TV. Lapel pins and car window stickers can also help the club keep a high profile. The district governor also reminded his fellow Lions of the threefold objective expressed by the Lions International International president for 1982-83. The president's motto is: "share the vision of service." His three goals include: expansion of the Lions International International sight conservation program; combating drug abuse among the young; and maintaining Lions membership membership by ' keeping losses of members at a minimum. The district governor revealed that one of his personal goals for the year is. to inaugurate three new clubs in the district. "We as Lions members are salesmen. In order to sell, we have to be proud of our organization," he said. Lions have every right to be & roud, Mr. Moir added, ecause the Lions serve their fellow man.

By Gary Chappie Although LACAC is the Local Architectural Conservation Conservation Advisory Committee, its activities extend to other aspects of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle is history and heritage as well. One of the things which has fascinated me as a LACAC research student is the development of local government. When Ontario was Upper Canada and still basically wilderness, it was divided for administration into four districts: Lancaster (along the St. Lawrence). Lunenburg (centred on Cata- raqui-Kinston), Nassau (centred (centred on York and Niagara-on- the Lake, Upper Canada's capitals), and Hesse (centred on the proposed capital of London). These names were soon dropped in favour of Eastern, Midland, Home (of which the Town of Newcastle was a part), and Western. At the same time nineteen counties were created. Durham Durham and Northumberland Counties were basically the same as we have known them, though they had no northern boundary. Ontario had not been created; it was part of York (an interesting side note: one of the nineteen counties was called Ontario, but it comprised the Thousand Islands). Soon the land was surveyed, and divided into townships. Population growth caused the government to divide the colony into eight, rather than four districts. One of the new districts was called Newcastle District. It comprised Durham Durham and Northumberland Counties, and the area to the north. Eventually, the area to the north was turned into Victoria and Peterborough Counties, and made a District in its own right. It got to the point where many Districts comprised a single county. Then came the Baldwin Act of 1850. On recommendation of Lord Durham, the local governments were given a large measure of responsibility, responsibility, and officials were to be elected (previously they had been appointed). Townships were made municipal corporations, corporations, and provisions were made for the creation of villages, towns and cities (before 1850, a few had been created by special charter). The system which governed this province for over one hundred years, and still a large part of it today, was instituted. The District names were dropped: Newcastle District became the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham. The heads of cities were to be called Mayors and cities werq to be independent of the counties (similar to the British county boroughs). Townships and Villages were to be headed by Reeves, who were also the representatives on County "Councils. Towns were headed by Mayors, but had separate representatives on County Council, also called Reeves. Municipalities with a large population might also have a Deputy Reeve representative. The chairman of County Council was called the Warden. Warden. Rapid expansion, and shifting shifting populations caused a need for reform of the old system in the twentieth century. Reform began with the creation of Metropolitan Toronto from southern York County in 1954. Soon, a number of Regional Municipalities were created. Ontario and the western part of the United Counties became the new Region of Durham in 1974. Special feature of the new system included: elimination elimination of village governments; creation of larger and more broadly based townships, towns and cities (the Town of Bowmanville, Village of Newcastle, Newcastle, Townships of Darlington Darlington and Township of Clarke became .the larger Town of Newcastle); and participation of cities in the regional governments. The regional governments were given a great deal of responsibility, especially for planning, which the counties never had. Reeves were eliminated; the heads of all municipalities were called Mayors; representatives representatives on regional council were simply called Regional Councillors, and the chairman simply Chairman. Although there was much criticism of regionalization, most of it due to Ontarians' typical conservatism, more recently the furor has died down. People accept the new system, and seem more willing willing to try and make it work. This has little to do with architecture, and in fact little to do with LACAC. However, it is one of the type of things which has made my job interesting. interesting.
