Deputy-Reeve Hobbs said that Reeve Little expressed the feelings of al members of the council. He voicd the best wishes of aIl te Mayor Carruthers. A letter was received from Murray E. Tabb and other residents of the vicinity who object to a proposed widening or deepening of a ditch on High and Third Streets, and to the proposed removal of a culvert at High and Fourth Streets. The belief was prcsented in the letter that such a ditch would be dangerous to pupils of Lord Elgin School, and to younger children who live in the district. The communica- tion also stated that the re- moval of the culvert would be contrary to the provisions of the Municipal Act regarding watcr courses and drainage ditches. Councillor O. J. Presson, seconded by Councillor Glen- holme Hughes, moved that council rescind a resolution made at a previcus meeting concerning the proposed ac- tion in the area. This was carried. Dep.-Reeve Hobbs seconded by Coun. Stevens moved that the Town Clerk, Jack Reid, be instructed te give a copy of the1 Town's Solicitor's report on1 the matter to the interested (TURN TO PAGE TWENTY-ONEi Reeve QlliciaIIy Opens Waterworks Newcastle's $133,484 waterworks system receivedi officiai blessing last Wednesday aftercoon, during a special opening ceremony in the Community ail.

This was decided a few weeks ago by the Chamber of Commerce which started the com- petitions several years ago. It was feit that the contests had achieved their original purpose of encouraging more people to use outside Christmas decoration, and could now be dropped. t tt FIRST SNOWFALL - On Tuesday, this area received its first real taste of heavy snowfall for the year, much to the delight of those who enjoy shovelling walks and hurling snowballs. As a resuit, youngsters ail over town are having a great time and oldsters are moaning a bit, including the town works department which sees a dent coming in the sflow removal funds. STEADY BUSINESS- Most merchants along King St. and their staffs have been quite busy ail week, and with several days' shopping stili to go are finding their legs aching from standing for long hours. However, they will be more than happy to put up with the aches and pains so long as their Christmas stock is being sold. If you stili have shopping to do, give the local merchants a break. They need and deserve your support. ti . 1 t t t. i HELPING THE TREASURY - Bowmanville Rotary Club, some years ago, planted some very tiny Scotch pine trees on a lot they acquired. In the meantime, a few of the members have worked hard, pruning and tending to their plantation, in order to be able to provide good trees for sale wvhich would add to the club's revenues. This vear, they sold over $140 worth of them for Christmas trees and now have an excellent growth of well-kept trees for future sales. Next year, the returns should be even better. NEWV YEAR'S PARTIES -'With New Year's Eve falling on Sunday, those who enjoy an annual out- ing at this time are having a difficult time trying to f igure out how to work in their parties. Bow- manville's Teen Towners have come up with a compromise answer. They are holding a combined Christmas and New Year's party on Thursday, Dec. 28th at the Lions Centre. t. T t 1 FAST WORK - Something of a record must have been established last week by wrecker George Mutton. fle and his staff took down the stores and houses opposite the Badminton Club almost before some local folks knew they had started and now they are preparing the site for the new build- ing, which, we are sorry to say still has flot been identified for publication. i Town Council. He explained that doubtless in the future the present Bowmanville Public Library Building will be sold and space wiIl be required for a new library building. He urged that it should be made clear that some of the park property could be used for the Public Library. Coun- cillor O.J. Presson, chairman of the Museum Board, said that the donor's, Mrs. L. B. Williams wishes would have to be considered. Deputy-Reeve Ivan Hobbs stated that this aspect could be clarrified by asking Mrs. Williams, and if she has no ob- jection it would be satisfactory. Mayor Wilfrid Carruthers pointed out that the By-Law would have to be passed that evcning to qualify for grants this ycar. He suggested that as the By-Law had been well drawn to enable it to be modi- fied, the matter could be dis- cusscd with Mrs. Williams later. The By-Law was then given third reading and passed. Councillor Hugches moved that the donor of the museumn and parkland, and the Museum Board, be approached regard- TURN TO PAGE TWO) Sponsored by Rotary Famed Concert Artist Rubinoff and Violin Coming Here Feb. l6th the outstanding events of the season."
