Ajax Mayor Clarke Mason led the opposition to the creation of the four lots by severance, saying it should be done through plan of Councillor Mason said he feared that if these four lots were created this way, there would be more applications for sever- ances of more than one lot by land division. Councillor -Rose said that creating three of four lots through plan of subdivision "is not worthwhile," and added that Scugog Township has an agreement with the - owner to ensure controls and proper servicing. And he said-that Scugog only allows lots to be created this way when there are no regional services involved such as sewer and water. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm cautioned that if the Region launched an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board, and that appeal failed, the development of the lots could end up- with: no: controls or conditions because the OMB would probably not ask them. By withdrawing the appeal before it gets to the OMB, Scugog Township would be assured of keeping some control over the de- velopment. The four lots range in size from three-quarters of an acre to 1.2 acres and aré at the end of Hood Drive on the 13th concession, Scugog Is- land. The retained land amounts to a little more than 32 acres. A report from the planning and development depart- ment of Durham Region says the severances should not be granted because the subject property is designated "major open space" in the Official Plan, and that until a waterfront plan is adopted the residential uses are re- stricted to those lots created by infilling. The committee report also says that the creation of the four additional lots without a waterfront plan could cause "undesirable long term effects of restricting public access to waterfront and jeopardize the recreational potential of, Lake Scugog". Dump Fire Caesarea firefighters were called out Sunday afternoon to a fire at Cartwright Transfer Waste Disposal Station on the 4th Line east of Blackstock. Fire was contained in one of the two metal trash containers at the site, and one fireman on the scene said it may have been deliberately set. Last weekend firefighters were called to, the scene to put out two fires. Child abuse incidents on the rise in Ontario by Betty Deeth 'The public was invited to the regular monthly meet- ing of the Junior Anglican Church Women to see a film and hear a speaker on the topic of Child Abuse. Ap- proximately 30 people attended the event, held at the Church of Ascension hall on Thursday evening, February 23. The guest speaker was Gary Brookes, who is work- ing with the Durham Child Abuse Committee, as pro- gramme director. He was hired last October as "Child Destroy dogs found running down deer The Lindsay office of the Ministry of Natural Re- sources warns dog owners in rural areas that conser- vation officers may destroy any dog found running deer this time of year, and own- ers may face charges under the Fish and Game Act by allowing their dogs to run at large in areas populated by "deer. The problem for the deer become acute during the * month of March when a firm crust forms on the top of the snow.- Domestic dogs roaming at large often will chase and kill deer, and the harder surface crust usually - supports the weight of dog while the heavier deer will break through and become an easy target for the marauding dogs. Pregnant does are especially vulner- able this time of year, as they are often_in a week condition after the long winter. The Ministry of Natural Resources indicates that past studies show that all breeds of dogs are capable of chasing and pulling down a 'deer in the snow, and the officers are asking dog owners to keep their ani- mals tied up during this critical period for the deer.

Funded under an 18 month Federal project, he works primarily with professionals in the social, health and educa- tional 'system to identify training needs and imple- ment suitable programmes to meet the needs. His office is located in Midtown Mall, next to the Family and Children's Services of Durham Region, (the Child- ren's Aid Society of Durham Region). Mr. Brookes explained that the incidents of child abuse is increasing in the Province. Because of this, he pointed out that the Mini- stry of Community and Social Services for Ontario implemented a one year educational programme with a budget of one million dollars. Ontario established a Child Abuse Registry in 1966 to receive and compile reports of abuse from the Children's Aid Societies. In the Mini- stry's publication, "You and the Abused Child", it states that only the serious ones that are readily identified are reported, and deaths officially attributed to child abuse by the Supervising Coroner of Ontario now number about 10 a year. Copies were distributed to- the audience. "In Durham Region last year, there were 23 cases of child abuse reported to the Registry," Mr. Brookes said. He emphasized that in rela- -Act, tion to population figures, and in comparison to other Ontario communities, this is _ considered a large number of cases. Under the Child Welfare the Children's Aid Societies have the authority to investigate ~ reports of abuse and take action to help children in need of protect- ion. The Act also requires that "every person having information of the abandon- ment, desertion, physical ill- - treatment or need for pro tection of a child, shall re- port the information to a Children's Aid Society or Crown Attorney" "There is a need for society to re-examine its laws, regulations and treat- . ment of the abused ehild," advised Mr. Brookes, and he pin-pointed the '"Norma Dean" case as an example. Her suicide at a training school was much publicized last year. An AB.C. News docu- mentary film entitled, "Children in Peril" was shown prior to Mr. Brookes remarks after which there was a lively discussion period.

A splinter may not be serious, but it still requires first aid, cautions the Indus- trial Accident Prevention Association: It's all too easy to get an infection from a splinter. So never try to remove it yourself; get first aid promptly, says the IAPA.
