The township's hands were tied in this matter because 7A is in the jurisdiction of the On- tario government. The Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communication wouldn't remove the snowbanks (trucks and expensive heavy equip- ment are needed for such a task) claiming to be short of funds. Frustrated, parents moved from one group to another, trying to solve the problem. This year, Council is hoping to have the situa- tion resolved before winter sets in. Last Mon- day night, councillors township or anyone else from cleaning up the snowbanks. "The only thing that's going to solve this is money. We don't have the money to solve it, the Region won't solve it and the Ministry won't solve it," he said. '""That's the problem and there's no simple answer. If we had a bag of money, we could send somebody out there to clear it when needed." When one councillor suggested clearing a pathway along the sidewalk, Mr. Cuddie shook his head and ex- plained that even if a path was cleared, something would have to be done with the snow that was removed. "It's just like downtown. There's no place for storage," he said. "You literally have to load it up and tow it away."

Housing starts go up 138% in 1983 across Durham Region Housing starts in Dur- ham Region jumped 138 percent during the first eight months of this year over the same period in 1982. In 'actual numbers, that's an increase of more than 1000 units, from 1,045 in 1982 to 2490 in 1983. In a report to be tabled at Regional council this week, Dur- ham's commissioner of planning attributes the 1983 increase of several factors; stable interest rates, government grants, and a "strong consumer demand for single family homes on small lots." Dr. Mofeed Michael also notes in his report, that Durham's share of housing starts jumped from 6.3 percent to 10.3 percent of all starts in the Greater Metro Region.

Mr. Rundle, who was in Toronto Monday morning to pick up his share of the winnings ($13,500) told the Star he was very happy with the win. He said that for the time being the money would be put into the bank. The five men who shared the prize are all General Motors maintenance workers, and they have bought winning tickets prior to this Mr. Rundle said that he wished there had not been as many winners of'the total" $1,300,000.00 prize as there wer holders to share the prize money. 20 ticket
