WAe May Return ta Original Newcastle Status It has been said that history repeat-s itself and to a certain degree it hoids true concerning this, area. t began as the District of Newcastle and, aceording to Ontario Treasurer John Whitle, will again be caiied Newcastle whien the regional gov- ernmaent legisiation is introduced. The original Newcastle took in much moreý land area than the new Newcastle mu-,,nicipality but its population was much smailer in those early days. The regionai announcement on Moniday aftiernoon will be greeted enthusiastically by sonie and fought to the last ditch by others, including Mayor Vie Copps of Hamilton who was in the gallery of tlhe legisiature w7,hen the announcement was made, anld had to be forciýbiy ejecte-d as _he attempted to protest. We are indebted to co-operation from both Garnet B. Rickard, Reeve of Darlington and Durham MPP Alex Carruthers wvho arranged to have copies of the statement run off and delivered to this office within a few,ý hours of the announcemrent. Ful details of the local region cailed Durhamn will be iiuded in this edition for Statesman readers, so they may full'y digest the informa-1 tion as soon as. possible. 1 The feedback from Oshawa and1 Hlope Township shouid be especiaiiy1 lnteresting to fo'ilojw. Port Hîope and Cobourg's reaction, if they arei consistent, should now be one of1 exuberance. They have to feel theyJ have won a mnajor battie that has been going on since the original1 proposais last December. No doubt1 there wiil be som-e folks in that areai who may fear they will now. be isolated, as the Unitedi Counties of which they will continue to be. members, wiil have lost a large chunk 'of its area . . . and its assessment. Oshawa will no doubt put up quite a, fight as they had hoped to acquire a sizable portion of Dariington Township. And, from what we have heard in recent wveeks, a great many eiected officiais and. ordinary ratepayers.in Hope Town- ship may weli consider that their future wiii hold more promise if they join the new Durham region than remnaining outside with Cobourg and Port Hope and the rest of the fragmented United Counties. The people of Manvers wvho objected stronigly to having the boundary lune cut through the Village of Pontypool shouid be pleased thaqt they wili 110W be retaîni1ed as a unit to be tied ;in with Victoria Counity with which theyl have a fairly close affininty. Cartwright wasn't incliuded ini the anrnouncem-ent on Monday, but ilt is presumed it wili join Port Perry asC part of a northern mnuicipality in the Durham region. So, at long iast, the decision has -( comne and, aithough there may stili be several changes in names anda boundaries before the legisiation1 0 becomes iaw, it is a relief to at least a have something specific tLo approve iy or discuss. eronll, e'eelthe L namne of Newcfastile shouid stand the test of time for this new municipal- ity. t certainiy has historic signifi- cance as has the regional name oifr Durham. We hope both of them Wil1 be accepted by a miajority of the municipal officiais concernied. But, we doubt it somehow. OFY: ln The Final Analysis Good Look at a Eist of projects undertaken with federai govern- mient money under the Opportunities for Youth (OFY) program and the great buikofe them, we wouid think, wilî strike most people as both imaginative and admirable. What, for instance, can be said about a scheme (for $7,500) to giv e additionai teaching to immigrant children who are having trouble in 'school, or another (for $5,300) to heli old-age pensioners with hôme re- pairs and other f ree services, except that they seem to be projects very miuch worth doing? But there is more than that to be said about OFY, which is now about to begin its third summer. (The program got away to a rocky start through! insufficient preparation; there lis no doubt that some kooky projects - and somne ripoff artists with them - siipped through in, the first summer and that some of the early scoffing was earned. Last year was different, but there probably wiil be a few this yera el. oFY (to attemrpt its sire and damn) might be said to 'be by Imagination out of Necessity. It w designeýd to give younig peoi somnething to do during the sumin in a period of high unem-ploymn for ail, but especiaily for youi people. That is the necessity side of t lineage. Th-e imagination lay in n simnply puttinig out mnoney to creat4- lot of pointless mý-ake-work' job)s, b in inviting applicants to cor forward with -ideas for usef services that they might provide the comymunity. That approach takes peoplec the side-lines; it invoives them ai does not leave them to view tî scene from the inactivity of the frc porchi, if unemployed, or from ti minless activity of a meaningle job, if emnployed at make.-work. In ail those projects which tui out rigsht, what we see, then, is number of younig people not on' doing som-ethiing worth while in ar for tlhe commnunity, but somnethir that they think is worth while.

I'M ABOUT TO BE A GnANDFATHER One minute you are a Dad, in your prime, just a broth of a boy, taking a brýeather after raising a family. The next, youý are a Grandad, doddering, heading into ,the lean and slippered pantaloon stage. That's wha t happened to me this week. Over the phone, long-distance, a familiar and dear voice asked with, a giggle, "Hi, Dad; how'd you like to be a grandfather? " Lmmediate reaction was, "Oh, no.!" followed at once, as L realized the enormity of my mnistake, by, "Oh, yes! Great!"1 ýThe kid then taiked to her mother, but for some reason, didn't mention. the main item on the agenda. She lef t that to me. When L'd picked the Old Lady off the floor, fanned her back into consciousness, and wipedi away the tears, the whoie thing struck me in its bleak truth. Here we were. Not even middle-aged, except by the calen- dar. My wife stili attracts whisties. L stili have an eye for a thigh at the beach. And we're abouit to be plunged back into a worid of botties and nappies and'coiic and constipa- tion and taicum powder. At first it seemed as though someone was piaying a practicai joke. But fortunately, the resilience of human nature came into plaày and we bounced back to not oniy, acceptance, buit antlicipaition. "That girl shouid be right here with me," announced her mother. "Lf she's as sick as L always was ".And was she sick! She threw up every day, ail day, until you could see the insides of hier heels. This lasted for abouit four mnonths, with each of them. Lt runs in1 the famiiy. Her mother was the same. L used to bring my wife tea, and soup, coid drinks and hot, and everything came up. You'd think the babies would appear iooking like somethi ng out of Beisen or Buchen- wald. But then she'd settie down, eat like a hyena for three mionths, and produce a littie faitso., However, maybe the chiid wiil escape this. Modern girls don't seem to do anythi ng the way thei r mothers did. Last night she was eating ýbeef as though the last steer in the world had been slaughtered, and today she was out, raking the lawn. Anyway, L'm 110W îooking at the positive side. I can hardi1y wait for the kid to arrive. I've been watching, the television commerciais, for those 'disposable diapers, and ami keen to have a go at them.i I've told everybody so often about how 1 won the warprtcai isingle-handed that ail 1 get n when I casually mention theë- Normnandy campaign and the Fal- aise Gap is a rolling of eyes, which then become utterly apathetic. Here comnes a new listener. And then there are the bed-time stories. There's nothing finer in life than to blow 'and burbie in the istom-ach of a fresh-bathed child, bundie it into its nightwear, then- launch into, a story, withi its eyes wi de, the'occasion4l chucle, then the eyelids faliing and the gentie breathing of deep ,,Ieep.t So 1 must dust, off some of my dandies. They,,were a mixture of Mowgii and Tarzan and Kaa the Snake and Munkie-Uncle-Unky, the oldest and wisest monkey in'the whole jungle., They might have been a littie confusing to the aduits who read the books, but the kids ioved them. Geography got a bit mnixed. Tigers turned up in Africa, and gorillas up in India, but nobody cared. Sometime 1 must tell you about how Mowglii, the wolf boy, after seeking the advice of Munkie-Unkie- Unky, scattered a band of maraud- ing elephants by swingingthrough the tree-tops and sprinkling the ground with thumb-tacks. Lt was a real gas to see thiose elephants hopping around on two feet, trying to p ick out thumibtacks from the other feet with their trunks. Then there's going to be the fun of -teaching the littie, blighter al sorts of things. Lf it's a boy, lil teach hlm to fishi and swýim. If it's a girl, PLl teach her to swim and fish. Their grannie can teachi them ail1 the other things, everything from piaying Mozart sonatas to maàking out the income tax return. She's 'much better at practicaliy everything than L. So she says, anyway. 'Maybe it'll be twin.s. L have a vision of the Oid Lady and me, she sitting wîth the boy on her iap, L with the girl'on mine, burping themq on a Saturday night while their mother is out on the town. One thing worries me. Whiat kind of a world is the littie stranger going to grow up i? 1L hope the general outiook improves by ab~out 300 per cent -in the next ten years, or it's not going to be a pretty place to be young in. There's oniy seven and a haif mionths to go. Wouildni't it be a real bummer, af ter L've adjusted so we'1 and made ail these plans, if it turn, out to be a faise aiarm?
