it is offer in a late night time slot could be unduly exploitive and degrading to women and did not provide increased employment opportunities for Canadian performers When the York request for support

CommanderCdt Capt Murphy Platoon Commanders Cdt Sgt HarnotsCdi Color Party Commander- Cdt T Sponsors Lome Scot Reg Georgetown Club Celebrate decade of Halton Region By STEVE ARNOLD Are years of regional government something to celebrate Members of administration and finance committee decided yes last week but only if it can be done at no cost Jan 1 1984 marks the end of Helton first years although the first meetings or the new level of government were held in October In his report to committee members chief administrative officer Dennis lln said none of the other regions formed at the same lime have given any con to noting the end of their first He also noted there Is no money in the 1983 budget for such a celebration Committee members split on the value of noting the milestone in the history of local government or simply allowing lt to pass quietly by This occasion deserves some because residents in the region have a right to know what we have in Inst 10 years com Councillor Carol Gooding Oak It a not a question of spending a lot of money she added It a a question of putting across what we- have accomp lished In a positive vein Other councillors however felt it would be wrong for the region to spend tax money promoting its own complishments especially in hard economic times Letting people know what we do should be an ongoing part of our ies commented Councillor Walter Burlington It a waste of money Tor a govern to advertise Its own services be cause they should be obvious to everyone from the way they arc delivered he added Mr also said would be foolish to celebrate a mere 10 years of re organization In an area where local government has been active for more than a century It s kind of trivial to celebrate years We should celebrate the sense of community here but not 10 years of re organization he said Oakville Mayor Harry Barrel took a similar approach saying a year of tight budgets is not the time to spend money on self congratulations It would be wrong when we ve been crying restraint to tell people are us ing their money to tell them what good guys we are he said After defeating a motion to ignore the event committee members decided to have a special report prepared on ways of recognizing it without spending any money Hike with the Batemans grand prize for five families Those attending the first day long Craw ford Lake Heritage

Halton landowners and the powerful sand and gravel industry Halton Burlington MPP Julian Reed said this week there are still two more periods to play before a final decision will be made on the controversial topic North residents have been con cerned for several months about the effect of a proposed amendment to the regional official plan which will freeze up to acres of land for the exclusive future use of the aggregate industry The amendment has been shelved and regional planning director Rash Moham med has promised a major rewrite of its terms giving existing and proposed home
