Records Durbamn County's Great Family Journal Ideal weather mnay' have been the contributing factor that sparked BH.S. athietes on Wednesday when they set eight new records during the annual. Field Day here. Gary McCullough of Newcastle was responsible for breaking three of the old marks, the high jump, running broad and hop, step and jump. He also came through with the Senior Championsbip. An excellent athiete in many sports, he is also a top student. Hi*gh School Athietles Shatter Eight Records Special - Dr. John This Friday e VOLUME 105 Ail To 28 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO,_THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th, 1959 Council Settie Here Sc hool FRONT PAGE EDITORIAL Time to End This Nonsensei For the second time witbin a year, this community's voters will go to the poils next Wednesday to vote for or against cocktail lounge and dining lounge liquor licences. If the wets win this time we shall be free of plebiscites on this topic for at least another three years when there could be a vote on beverage rooms. If they lose, 1we probably shall face a ballot with al three questions at that time. Surely, it is about time the provincial authorities ended this nonsensical method of handling the sale and distribution of alcobolic beverages. It may save the politicians a great deal of political em- barrassment to pass the buck to the citizens of* a community such as Bowman- ville, but we believe -the time bas come when there must be a uniform. policy which applies generally to ail parts of the province. The present system is bit and miss, discriminatory and ridiculous. Al it does is foster bad feelin g in otherwise peaceful coxnmunities, setting one haîf of the town against the other, with the costs for some unexplainable reason, being borne by the property owners of the com- munity and by private contributors to each side. We have been fortunate here in that the, bitterness engendered by such cam- paigns bas remained fairly well subdued, but it bas been there and will remain for Jnany montbs. The cost aspect is an important factor. The town must assume the entire cost of the el ection, sometbing over $2,000, although it bas no hope of gaining any- thing unless the votes are carried. In tbat event, we understand the community coffers receive a pittance rebate on gallonage dispensed and, of course, additional taxes might be received as licences are issued to new establishments. We cannot understand why the province which reaps rich barvests from tbe taxes on liquor and beer should not bear the full cost of these plebiscites. So far as the issue is concerned, we. find ourselves unable to get too excited about it and, frankly, refuse to be drawn into the argument from an editorial standpoint. Naturally, both sides, are entbusiastic for their cause, and in their propaganda bave presented what they believe are the most telling arguments tbey can find. We bave enough confi- dence in tbe intelligence and good sense of the electorate to know tbey will assess tbe situation and vote for, wbat tbey con- sider are the best interests of this com- munity. RateDavers' Air Grievrnce_ç 10e Per Copy NUMBER 39 Tonight Problem The eight municipal councils ini the Durham County District High School Board area will meet this evening in the Council Chamber at Bowmanville Town Hall to consider every aspect of the high. School building problem, and make a serious attempt to find a fair and feasible solution -to it. The seven councils that have accepted the invitation of the Bowmanville Town Council to attend the meeting here at 8 o'clock tonight are: Darlington, Clarke, Newcastle, Hope, Port Hope, Milbrook and Cavan. The Chairman of the Durham County District High School Board, A. H. Strike; the Secre- tary of the Board, Walter Reyn- olds, and the Chairman of the Building Committee, Clare Allin, have also accepted the invitation of Bowmanville Town Council to be present at the meeting. Representatives of the On- tario Department of Education will corne to Bowmanville to attend the meeting in the Council Chamber. The con- sultative committee of the Unit- ed Counties Council will also be present. Reeve W. David Higgon, who originated the plan for this meeting, told The Canadian Statesman on Wednesday: "I sincerely hope that the meeting tomorrow evening will corne to a workable solution of the prob- lem."1 He emphasized the im- portance of the educational as- pect. III hope that some consistent agreement between the mninci- palities wiil be reached. There is certainly nothing.further the board can do. I do not know how shifts at Bowmanviile High School starting in Sep- tember, 1960, can be avoided," A. H. Strike, Chairman of the Durham County District High School Board stated yesterday. *'The archltects have said they will need three months te pre. pare the plans, therefore au building cannot start beforé frost has set in, constructiont cannot start before spring. It is conceivable that a high school could be-made ready for open- ing in January, 1961," he added.
