DON IRVINE Telephone 623-4482 108 Waverley Road, Bowmanville STAtl FAIM iNSUKANCI Answer to last week's editorial: Bowmanville! Where! Why? Whose? Where's our home? Yes, indeed where is it, why has it disappeared from maps and road signs? What in Heaven's name is happening to Bowmanville? Bowmanville? Of course we're NOT "being negative", maybe somewhat repetitious. As Morgan says, "we're chewing over the same issues we were ten years ago." Our Hon. Mayor making the same reasonable sounding replies. Strange...the people of the town are not receiving reliable answers and few, if any results. Oh yes, the Town has received a great face lift. Entering from the east on highway two it really has a shored-up look. And we love it. It has a wider Main Street with trees and flowers in summer and great lighting and decor at this time of year. Our mayor and council should receive some credit for that. Thanks Garnet, you do have a tough job, taking all blame and receiving little credit. Wouldn't relish it, most of us, not for any money. We know you love the land too, that is why so much of what is happening is such a mystery to us. Still our arable land is being used for purposes other than agriculture. (Oh dear God if the Ethiopians had a portion of it.) Housing is needed and growing, but most of those coming here think they are getting away from harried hassle and crime. What a fantasy that is. Our Town Hall may be a mouldering as Mrs. Hubbard says (Councillor that is). It is a shame in comparison comparison with the way other towns in the Region keep up, refurbish refurbish and use their Town Halls. Let's sandblast, prop up and for goodness sake use the space we have, for the space needed for important town records and.oh the old stage... In 1972 I saw a troup of tiny ballerinas in immaculate, crisp, pink and yellow fluffy tu-tus, flung out from behind the dusty stage curtain onto the slivery, old, musky-smelling, musky-smelling, boards of that stage. They looked like Easter chicks, the result of a hopeful ballet teacher's year's work, breath-takingly beautiful. Also next summer from then a darned good Canadian play about a puzzled Canuck looking looking for his identity. Well, we've found it. We have it. Thank you Pierre, The ballerina ballerina class disintegrated, the players moved on East and West and now successful in U.S.A. The small amount of elbow grease and carpentry that would have been such a help then, now would cost, well you know all that...But carpenters Perm Special Quantum Perm Acid Balanced Perm Reg. $Afk 00 $70.00 NOW ... 4rl/ (Includes cut, style, conditioner) Hairport Styling 133 Church Street Bowmanville Telephone 623-4901 are hard to find. They've become specialized in wood carving and or, are busy in far away construction companies. We're celebrating the Birth of a Carpenter for the next month or so ( or did you think it was only Santa Claus?) Maybe we should ask Him for help to save the identity of our Town of Bowmanville on the map and road maps. If Queen's Park doesn't answer, He will. If we deserve it. I think we do. In 1972, the population on the sign entering town said 5000, now according to the latest figure from the town hall records it has doubled. The population is now 12,915, Twelve thousand, nine hundred hundred and fifteen. In 1974-75 a petition of over 1000 names objecting to the name change was presented to council. Results, ditto. M.P.P. Alex Carruthers, (God rest his soul) at that time, went to bat for us in Toronto. He was laughed at for his loyalty. Little did those who laughed, considering Alex and his concern for his people, anachronistic anachronistic in face of modernism and progress, realize they paved the way co now, when undoubtedly we will regain our identity as a Town. Newcastle is still a village. Bowmanville is growing so fast in the name of progress it seems to have progressed right off the map! We still object. Taxes haven't been any less for the taxpayers, though that was the explanation we were given when we dug for an answer as to "why not Bowmanville in The Township of Newcastle"? We were told a huge Town, including all the little places and municipalities with identities identities of their own, would cost taxpayers less as "a Town", than a township. Something to do with zoning by-laws. So much double talk sounds plausible when one is talking to officials. Since that wasn't and isn't right, now, may we please have our Town's name, Bowmanville, back? All other little towns and hamlets kept theirs. Please give our Town back its rightful historical name. Dear Heaven, it's Sesqui- centennia! year and Bowmanville Bowmanville has marched right along with Ganaraska and Ft. Toronto in Ontario. Where is Bowmanville on the Ontario map? Why has it been treated so arbitrarily? Whose Town is it? The Government's or ours? If the Government's, then we're calling ourselves democratic democratic as a facade for something something we all dread happening here. Rose A. Lilley. Kendal The Kendal Women's Institute held their November meeting at the home of Mrs. G. Manders, Mrs. L. Cathcart read an interesting article relative to Remembrance Day. There was a lady from the Phillipines who offered her services as a spy when the states entered W.W. II. She was extremely successful and at no time was ever stopped or questioned. She pursued this service until the end of the war when she was presented with a medal of freedom. This brave little lady lived to tell the tale and died from leprosy some years later from which she had suffered throughout her wartime service.
