~rr Hastings Girl Wins Durham Club Sin Six students from Bowman- ville High School and their principal Len Lucas, visited the Bowmanville Lions Club on Monday night to debate on a resolution that wonmen's liberation is a threat to our society. From the men's point of view it was a palpahly sen- sitive subject . . . after all wlhat would happen to such a fraternal organization as the Lions if the womren did become fully 'liberated'? The chair recognizes Lioness Jane, Lion John, and you better beleve it! The stuff nightmares are made of. But as everyone knows de- bates have two sides - one for, and one against. And this one was no differ- ent. There was an affirmative side supportedby students Don Sylvester, Carol Wight, and Terry Lloyd, which argued that the Woman's Liberation Movement did constitute a threat. Then there was the negative side supported by students Brenda Harris, Elaîne Lipski, and a broad-minded male, Murray Twist, which contend- ed cogently that woman's lib- eration was a practical, realis- tic and sensible goal. The debate lasted an hour with each student allowed five to seven minutes to present his argument and rebut the previ- ous speakers' remarks. The captains of each team were permitted three minutes at the conclusion of the debate to sunmarize their respective positions on the resolution When the debate had ended, the Lions members were re- quested to vote for each team, by applauding, wîth the team receiving the loudest clap to be acclaimed winner, "For the affirmative then Mr. Lucas asked.

And, the next day, they got what they wanted. The seven had contended that the road had become impassable because of heavy snow accumulation and that this had created a potentially dangerous situation in the event of a fire or someone becoming seriously ill. They reasoned that as they are being assessed the general rate of taxation, they should be entitled to road clearing. The road in question how- ever is privately owned by the West Beach residents and therefore strictly speakirg not a responsibility of the Town. Council, after hearing five members of the deputation express their concern and anxiety over the problem, agreed to look into the mat- ter by seeking legal counsel to determine 'if there was anything which would pre- vent the town frein going on ven prathe promy tom pon For the first time, students the private property to pro from Northumberland and vide snow removal serveies.

Tom Buckley It was announced this week that Sugar Plum Mountain, Bowmanville's new skiing and sports area, now bas a profes- sional ski instructor in the per- son of 21-year-old Tom Buck- hey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo- rge Buckley of Newcastle. Mr. Buckley was born in Huntsville and began his ski- ing career there at the old Huntsville Ski Club, now Hid- den Valley. He became a pro- fessional ski instructor at Hid- den Valley in 1968, after grad- uating and receiving his pin from the CSI Alliance, and also took a race coachine clînic TURN TOPAGE TWO dresses Feature Finals of Two-County Speaking Contest Bowmanville, on 'Ghosts'; 'Pauline Johnson'; Candy Dol- on 'Courage'; Brenda Larson, were George Walker, Bow- Rhonda Jeffery, Murray Cen- ny, Kirby Centennial P.S., Thomas Gillbard P.S., Cobourg, manville High School, Arthur tennial P.S., Trenton, on Clarke Twp., on 'Money'; Rob- on 'Dogs'; Jennifer Beamish, Lawson Port Hope High 'Transportation'; David Walk- ert McLaughlin, Brooksîde Percy Centennial P.S. on 'Life Schonl dPrt Hop Hig er, North Hope Central P.S., School, Cobourg, on 'Wonders on the Farm' and Cindy Van Scbooland C .

Four snowmobiles from this area, manned by OPP Con- stables Larry Mahoney, Ken Ruttan, Ken Laton and Murray Joynt, plus two others from Oshawa, left here at 7:15 a.m. Saturday and arrived at Tweed at 2:20 p.m. They used secondary roads for the most part and only encountered 14 cars en route. Only casualty was Murray Joynt's machine that blew a motor, 10 miles from their destination. But, the trip was great fun and they all enjoyed it to the full Snowmobiling at its best, was the way Constable Joynt described it. t t t- t t APPRECIATION - Residents on Prospect Street appreciated the fast action by the Publie Utili- ties waterworks staff on Saturday morning. A main on their street had sprung a irak and was pouring water onto the road. The PUC crew had it dug up and repaired in record time. t t. t . t ACTION - Now that the delegates from this area have returned home from the Conservative conven- tion, after choosing their new leader, William Davis, it would appear that there is more political action afoot. Next Wednesday, Durham Liberals will hold their annual meeting and election of officers in the Odd Fellows Hall, Orono, when Dr. Ian Wilson of Cobourg will be the guest speaker. No doubt, names of prospective provincial candidates will also be, discussed, because it appears an election will not be too far away. t t t t t HOSPITALITY - The storm on Saturday night blocked many roads, forcing motorists to aban- don tieir cars and seek shelter in nearby homes, Mrs. Sharon Johnston who operates a coffee shop in part of their home on Taunton Road west was kept very busy because of a five foot high, 30 foot long drift that completely blocked the road. Before the night iwas over she had provîded shelter and food for 16 stranded guests. It was 10 a.m. Sunday before ber newfound friends were able to leave, with most grateful thanks. We understand that about 20 other motorists spent the night at The Acres Restaurant. t t t t i CRUSADE - A Christian Crusade will be held at the local Pentecostal church from March 3rd to 14th, when Dave and Marilyn Johnston will be visiting this area. According to the Rev. Harold Dawson more details will be available on this event next week. t i t t t HEART - No returns have been received yet from the Heart Fund canvass that was to get underway on Monday night. No doubt, some of the canvassers probably were slowed down by the storm and will be continuing their rounds throughout the week. t t t t t NEW TACTIC - Prime Minister Trudeau threw the opposition into a tizzy yesterday when he appar- ehtly made a soundless derisive comment they in- terpreted as unparliamentary language. This is a most interesting development in tactics and presents a problem. How can Mr. Speaker rule as unparlia- mentary, language that isrt spoken, the words only formed by the movement of the lips? It opens a whole new field. One can visualize members on ech side of the House shouting obscenities at each other without making a sound. The whole affair sounds a bit childish.
