Forrester, Editor - ■ ' , lii mi- J Activity Kendal report by News Mayor Rickard Sing a song of seasons Something good in all 43 DAYS FOR WHAT? 43 days of total postal disruption in the country, inconve nién'ce and a loss economically to individuals and business has meant very little in the end. The Post Office, the government and the public gained nothing in holding out with the exception exception of a few holidays which the Union was agreeable to pass over for greater demands. 43 days for what? Certainly Jean-Claude Parrot, President of CUPW and his executive are assured of another term in office. We have opened opened another avenue and wedge into further socialism with 93 percent maternity leave payments for seventeen weeks. CUPW are already talking a tough line for the new Crown Corporation Corporation and CUPW have momentum in opening up with the corporation. corporation. 43 days for what? Are we assured of better postal service, less pilfering, less damage? Never once did we hear it mentioned. mentioned. A one-sided deal indeed. The 93 percent maternity leave clause is a costly venture for the taxpayer. Using the example of an employee making $11.00 an hour and working 38 hours a week, the total weekly pay envelopes contains $418.00. If unemployed the Unemployment Unemployment Insurance pays 60 percent up to a maximum of $189.00 which in fact is because of the maximum about 45 percent. In the case of the postal worker on maternity leave, the government or postal department makes up the difference from the 45 percent to the 93 percent figure. Maternity leave in total under the new contract will bring in $388.74. An individual without such- a contract and having the same weekly salary would receive the $189.00 from UIC and would be allowed through other employment to receive up to $47.25 before deducation would come off the UIC payment of $189.00. Any amount from part-time or casual employment for the individual over $47.25 would be deducted from the UIC payment. An enterprising individual does not have the same opportunity opportunity as does those under contract such as negotiated between CUPW and the post office. And furthermore, the CUPW bonanza comes from the taxpayer. Well be ready to go again this fall when the outside workers renew their upcoming contract. AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT If the Canadian Government cannot control the air controllers controllers at Canadian airports any better than they have in the last few days, one might suggest that the Government take a couple of minutes to hire Ronald Regan for ten minutes to get things rolling again. The Canadian Government can then go back to sleep. PICKLED EGGS » 12 hard-cooked eggs 1 Vi cups vinegar Vi cup water , '?■ 1 tsp. salt » 2 tsp. pickling spice Peel eggs and place in large jar.

There have been 62 new dwelling units this year compared to 30 last year at the end of July, with a total of 162 residential permits permits being issued, 91 million dollars of new construction compared to. 12 million in 1980. Much of this is related to the Darlington Generating Station. Darlington Darlington Generating Station development will encourage other industries. Other good things that have happened that will support support Newcastle are the new Provincial Ministry of Revenue offices- in Oshawa, the Lake Span freight service and the new 81 million dollar Liquor • Control Board of Ontario warehouse in Whitby. Whitby. All of these developments will have an impact over the entire Region of Durham and being relatively near this municipality; will benefit us. Of the new residential development, of which we can be proud, is the new Senior Citizens ; accomodation accomodation in Newcasstle. Soon, I hope we can make an announcement announcement on Senior Citizens accomodations in Bowman ville. Looking into the future, the widening of 401 will aid further in the go east development development from Toronto, We have been working for the extension extension of Go Train from Pickering to east of Oshawa. With full municipal services services available for Courtice, the new water plant in Newcastle that has been operating for one year and the 1 new Sewage Treatment Plant in Bowman ville nearing completion, things should continue to happen when energy costs and interest rates level out. The early part of this council council session has been quite busy with administrative matters. I ■believe we should now focus greater emphasis upon the development and redevelopment redevelopment of our commercial commercial and business centres and working for industrial expan- ' sion, • with particular emphasis emphasis on recognizing our present industrial and commercial commercial businesses. , Up and Down the Bookstacks ADULT ' Mr. October, the Reggie Jackson story by Maury Allen Anatonfy of an Illness by Norman Cousins (how one man proved your mind can cure your body) Drug Alert! by Mari lea Weisman (a provocative-look at strteet drugs) Small World by Tabitha King (a horror story revolving around the wcyld of*miniatures - doll Flowers in the summer Fires in the fall There certainly have been wonderful flowers this summer. summer.

Then when he reached the other side a man with an unclean spirit met him, Jesus had become weary "Let us take a break, let's go away for a • holiday", but when danger came there was no rest on the boat, on the other shore a demented man- met him so it often is.
