I 3* * C-'\l 4 SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 20,1962 3 Will Run for Mayor's Position J Fire, famine and pestilence has but a slight edge on the good old common cold. I was stricken last week with the worst cold germ in all of recorded history and nobody will convince me otherwise. For three days I suffered a dripping nose, running eyes, chills, aches, f tains and coughing spasms sufficient- y intense to vibrate the toenails. In a futile attempt to fight back I ran the gamut of home remedies, old Indian cures and store bought medications. A steady diet of aspirin and decongestant tablets left me spun out and provided only temporary relief. I became almost addicted to those small bullet shaped, time capsule cold pills. Until the effects of them subsided I scarcely knew my own name. However, they gave my nose a breather and allowed the poor thing to regroup in the wake of relentless attacks by a batallion of kleenex tissues. My only consolation during the past week has been that more than half the population seems to be suffering from a similar affliction. Not as bad as mine, of course, but nonetheless suffering. Drink lots of liquids, say the experts. I did and it didn't help. When mentholatum ointment on my chest failed to give results I brought out the heavy artillery and applied the traditional mustard plaster. Too bad I can never quite remember the right combination of ingredients. Is it three spoons of flour to one of mustard or is it three of mustard to one of flour? Not sure, I sort of split the difference and ended up with a robin red chest and little relief. To compound my physical misery I was all but alienated by my family, at least at mealtimes. Their appetites, they contended, were turned off by my physical appearance. They candidly pointed out that a raw, sniffling nose glistening with a layer of Vicks ointment was hardly a welcome guest at the kitchen table if I actually expected them to ingest food in its presence. I was little more than a pitiful outcast in my own home wandering aimlessly from room to room dragging an afghan in one hand and a kleenex box in the other. And despite my attempts to beat the disease, the plaguing cold continued to peak. I was sinking fast. A drastic measure must surely be taken if I was to survive. When a relative suggested hot rum toddies I was ripe to try anything. Twice I mixed a concoction of rum, boiling water and brown sugar. Unfortunately I am unable to tout the medicinal brew as a miracle cure for the common cold. However, it can be credited with clearing the sinuses, diminishing the aches and pains and providing the cold sufferer with a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Eventually resignation set in. Accepting that the cold was king and my body was but its temporary castle, I wrapped myself in my faithful afghan, crawled upon the sofa and waited stoically for the imperial germ to take its own sweet course. And that's the bottom line folks. There is no cure. Toddies, decongestants and aspirin only dull the razor edge of a cold. I found that whimpering, whining and complaining also helped considerably. To those of you who have been recently afflicted I say, take heart. You'll live to contract another variety someday. The cold germ, unfortunately, is one of the unpleasant realities of life in North America. Liberal Leader Predicts From Page One support a restraint program, but added that the party wants across- the-board wage controls and tough E rice controls too. He said the iberals believe people are ready to make this sacrifice. In the future' efforts such as job training programs will be required in order to make Ontario a "world- class" economy. In describing the Liberals as the party best-qualified to lead Ontario, Mr. Peterson said that they are a party which represents not just the "union bosses" or the "corporate barons" but also the individual. "We are a party that speaks for the individual, Mr. Peterson said. 880 Waverley Residents From Page One insufficient land is available at the site to accommodate the developers' plan. Newcastle planning director Terry Edwards confirmed the property is indeed too small for the. number of units proposed. "However, this does not rule out the submission of a revised plan," he added. The delegation emphasized that if the development proceeds it will result in increased traffic on a residential road, creating a potential "And last but by no means least," stated Mr. Hammond, "the project would result in the devaluation of surrounding properties." Durham Region's official plan for Bowmanville's major urban area provides a high density residential designation for the Waverley-Quinn parcel of land. However, the town's planning director has received a report from the region regarding the developers' application indicating _ . the proposal is premature at this safety hazard. tyne bqsçd on servicing limitations Council was told that schools in the...'3n the âreà. : Waverley area are presently overtaxed arid will not support additional students. "There are already portables on site at both of the local schools," stated Mr. Hammond.

' 8 THE WALLPAPER CENTRE OPEN THURSDAY & FRIDAY NIGHTS UNTIL NINE Taxi Owner Runs for Mayor's Job Tom Vanderende Tom Vanderende, a Bowmanville businessman for the past 14 years, decided to run tor mayor because he was afraid there would be no challenger challenger for incumbent Garnet Rickard. j "I made up my! mind because Rickard was going to take it by acclamation," he, said. , ... Mr, Vanderende, the 43- year-old owner of Bowmanville Bowmanville Taxi Ltd., has a number of ideas on how the town's local government could be improved. Most important to him is the efficient use of the taxpayers' money. By saving a few dollars here and there, he expects taxes could be cut by 25 per cent. He noted, for example, that costly equip ment often stands idle when it should be in operation. Mr. Vanderende also believes that people involved in development projects should not have to go through so much red tape. Development Development should be allowed to proceed quickly. This is especially important due to the installation of new water and sewer facilities which have been built for future growth in the town, Mr. Vanderende said. He also favors more homes for the aged, noting that existing existing homes for the elderly have long waiting lists. Removal of downtown Bowmanville's parking meters is another suggestion of Mr. Vanderende. He said the meters simply discourage people from shopping down town. "Meters should be ripped ripped out and taken to a scrap dealer, as far as I'm concerned," concerned," said Mr. Vanderende. Instead of meters, there should be a one-hour parking limit, he said. Mr. Vanderende said the entire council now in office should be replaced. "They've been in there too long and they don't have any get-up-and- go," he said. . The candidate suggested councillors should do their homework between council meetings so that they are better better informed on the decisions which must be made. Tom Vanderende lives with his wife and family in Caesarea. Caesarea. However, as a property owner in the Town of Newcastle, Newcastle, he is entitled to vote and to seek office here. Phone Canvass Solved A Newcastle resident's complaint to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has led to an investigation into a controversial telephone canvass in the town last month, seeking opinions about the municipality's elected officials. Several complaints were lodged with Newcastle councillors when residents of the municipality claimed the individuals conducting the phone poll were passing themselves off as government officials. Ministry investigations determined that a Toronto based firm, Goldfarb & Associates, were indeed conducting an opinion survey in the town, however, they denied telephone canvassers had indicated any government connection. The Ministry had advised the company to ensure that its canvassers do not relay the impression the poll is being undertaken on behalf of the provincial government.
