The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Oct. 31 1973 County Bd. of Education Has to Decide Fate of 17 Little Red Schoolhouses The construction program in recent years bas brought >more pupils to larger consol- idated schools and resulted in the Northumberland-Durham Board of Education having 17 "little red schoolhouses" to get rid of. What disposition to make of 14 of the 17 properties not used as schools will be discussed by trustees at the November meeting. The former schools are: Brown's School, between New- castle and Newtonville which is being rented to a commun- ity group at $75. per month, until April 30,1974. A commit- ment bas been made by the board to offer the premises for sale to the Community on May 1, 1974 for $19,000. less the rentals paid to that date. Burketon School north Darl- inton Township which bas been closed and boarded up since June 1972. It is a two room brick building construct- ed in 1962. There are no debentures outstanding. The only inquiry has been to rent it as a Sunday School. Another of these schools is the Courtice Highway School on Highway 2. It is described as an old two-room school in the Courtice area closed in dune, 1973. Lakeshore School in Clarke Township, part of lot 17, concession B.F. is a building that is in poor condition and is located too close to the road violating the existing bylaws. Lt was leased to the N.D.P. for storage until 1978. Port Granby School located in Clarke Township on part of lot 6, concession B.F. has an existing 999 year lease which presents some difficulty for clear title. Camborne Kindergarten was closed September 1973. Canton School in Hope Town- ship, part of lot 12, concession 4 bas been closed for many years and is in need of repair. Couds on the title have held up past efforts for disposition. The Old Dale Road School in Hamilton Township on part of lot 21, concession 3, west of the present Dale Road School is another of the schools to be disposed of. Old Plainville School, Hamilton Township, part of lot 16, concession 8 is presently being used as a Maintenance workshop, but will be available when a new workshop opens. Sunshine Heights School, closed June, 1973 following the transfer of students to Port Hope Higb School is being beld by the board for at least one year pending the success of the transfer. Three organiza- tions have expressed an inter- est in the building. They are Quadriplegics and Associates who are interested in buying or leasing the building to establish a combination shelt- ered workshoD. The Port Hope Art Guild to have expressed interest to use it as an Art centre; and the Town of Port Hope who wanted to deed it over to the Town for municipal purposes. Zion School located in Hope Township, part of lot 31, concession 3 bas been closed for manv vears. Disnosition has been hampered due to the clarity of the title. In the Eastern Area, Brigh- ton Township Area Union School 2 and 3 are presently being used to advantage as maintenance shops for the area, and it was decided by the board that they should be mms m nmmm m m BILL MACEY Manager.

Grafton Annex a two room brick building will be closed with the completion of the boards building program. Mount Carmel School was closed in June, 1972. It is in Murray Township on Country Road 64, four miles south-east of Brighton. The Barcovan Ladies have used the building on a permit basis for commun- ity projects. Murray Township Council bas expressed an interest in buying the school and is prepared to meet the board. York Road School bas been established as a museum for school purposes. The back portion is rented to Trenton and Brighton Local Associa- tion for trainable retarded Convin ces (From Page One) colm (Scugog) and Allan MePhail (Brock), 22 votes each. Regional Chairman Walter Beath will also be a member of the executive group. Mayor Potticary from Osh- awa was one of those who voted in favor- of Rickard's motion. "Every elected per- son must share responsibil- ity", he said, is support in broadening the selection of the membership of the executive committee. Before council elected the executive committee, Coun- cillor Margaret Shaw of Osh- awa insisted on knowing what the powers of the committee would be. Mrs. Shaw claimed that election of councillors to the committee could be view- ed in a different light if its duties were outlined. To this, Counc. Mike Bre- augh of Oshawa replied "It behooves this council, in its first year, to go easy on the job descriptions." He added he feels it should act as "a steering committee" for the first while. It was Counc. Des Newman who suggested the terms of reference for the executive committee which were event- ually adopted. His motion set the committ- ees responsibilities as dealing with legal and personnel matters, negotiating with the member municipalities and "only such other matters as the regional council may refer to it from time to time." Hence, the executive comm- ittee remains responsible to the council as a whole. It was also stipulated that councillors elected to the executive committee were not allowed to run for the position of chairman of any of the standing committees. George Ashe from Picker- ing'was elected as chairman of the finance committee, narrowly defeaing Allan Pilk- ey from Oshawa. In fact it was Chairman Beath who cast the tie-breaking vote for Ashe. The chaiirmanship of the social services committee was won by Ruth Beswick of Oshawa who defeated fellow Oshawa councillor Gordon Attersley by a 22 to 8 vote. Oshawa Councillor Allan Dewar emerged victorious in a three-man contest for the post of chairman of the public works committee while Clarke Mason, Mayor of Ajax, was elected to head the Planning and Development committee. Ivan Hobbs of Newcastle was joined by J. Goodwin of Whitby as the two council members who will sit on the Durham Police Commission. Regional Council Comm- ittees and their Members.

The former Hill Valley School site is now a four-acre reforested plot. There is a small parcel of land in Haldimand Township to be dWisposed of by the board. The board will now be asked to decide whether or not the properties and building are of any further use. If not, then a value will be established through appraisal and the municipality or community will be notified that the property is available at the established value. If the community or muni- cipality does not wish to acquire the property then schools that are to be disposed of will go by public auction. cil may refer to it from time to time.

Winner of (From Page One) Rather surprisingly, none of the Orono Kinsmen we talked to knew who the winner was, and people back that way tend to have a pretty good idea of who lives in their area. A break cane when Kins- nan Tom Barry fron Orono phoned down to Cornwall, the headquarters of the Kin Lot- tery, and was given the telephone number of the elusive D. Hubbell. It turns out that the $5,000 winner is Miss Doris Hubbell. She lives with ber sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gaudet, on the Fourth Concession in Clarke Town- ship. They moved to their present address from Oshawa a few years ago and Miss Hubbell still works in Oshawa, at Henderson's Book Store. According to ber sister Cindy, she bought the Kin Lottery ticket in a bank in Oshawa. We also found out that Doris is planning to send ber mother to Hawaii this spring with part of ber winnings, which seems like a very nice gesture indeed. So, congratulations, D. Hub- bell, but we must add that it took us a long time to track you down. Legion Prize (From Page One) son Jack Frost of the same address who is an employee of Seneral Motors. Mr. Frost's Seller's. Award netted him $156. Second Prize Ticket of $100. drawn by Mrs. Braybrook was no. E 5426, held by Mr. David Churcher of 377 Celina Street, Oshawa. Mr. Ev. Newell a member of Br. 178 sold this ticket and received the $10. Seller's Award. During the month, Br. 178 Royal Canadian Legion don- ated prizes of $50. to the winners of the highest stand- ing in English at the Courtice Secondary School, and at the same time Pres. Ed. Majer presented the $600. Legion Scholarship from Branch 178 to Renate Hoyn, the student with the hignest stanming in Grade XIII, for furthering ber education. A presentation of a cheque of $100. was made to The Recreation Fund of the Dividale Veterans who were entertained recently in Bran- ch 178. Next month a further two $600. Scholarships will be awarded the students with the Highest Standing in Clarke High School and Bowmanville High School with further awards to the winners of the Highest Standing in English. A cbeque of $500. was to be made from the Welfare Fund to the Bowmanville Recrea- tion Commission, at the Mill- ionaires' Night Dinner, on October 27th, but unfortun- ately no one saw fit to be on hand for the presentation. This cheque will be given to Director Bud Fanning this week. Otto Lang, federal mninister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board, said Canada is fprepared to support a world food reserve. It was a big day at St. Paul's United Church on Sunday when they celebrated their 139th birthday cake with special services. In the evening, many members of the congregation, including the minister, dressed in old-fashioned costumes unearthed from attics and storeroons. Here, the birthday cake is being cut by, from left to right, Church Treasurer Ray Bryson, Rev. N. E. Schamerhorn, Clerk of Session Doug Kemp and U.C.W. President Mrs. Ernest Twist. Rehearsing "A Gown for His Mistress Cathy Coverly, centre, is just steaming mad as Suzanne in this scene from the play "A Gown for His Mistress" which the Bowmanville Drama Workshop will be performing on November 8th, 9th and 1oth in the BHS auditorium. Also included in the photo, which was taken at a rehearsal earlier this week, are Peter Sobil (left), who is cast in a lead role as Dr. Moulineaux, and Myrna McCullough, who will portray Rosa in the three-act French comedy. The cast has been hard at work on the play for weeks, under the direction of Jeannine Butler from Oshawa, and it promises to provide an enjoyable and entertaining evening. Mary Brown Novices Beat Cobourg 4-3 But Lose to Bay Ridges 4-1 On Friday night, Bowman- ville moved into Cobourg for their third league game and came out on top of a 4-3 count. In the first period Jeff Logan scored first on a neat passing play with Robbie Green. Cobourg then scored two goals in four minutes to take a 2-1 lead., This however was short lived as with one minute left in the period Logan stole the puck at his blue line, deked the lone defender and skated in to tie the score. In the second period Logan again on a breakaway put the locals ahead 3-2 but Cobourg tied the colmnt in the first minute of the third period. The final goal of the game was scored by Jeff Logan as he banged in a pass from Robbie Green and Tim- my Little. Tim Preston played a heady game and narrowly missed on two close 'in chances. On Saturday at the local's arena, the picture was revers- ed as Bay Ridges out bumped, out skated and out scored our boys to the tune of 4-1. The lone goal of this game was scored by Timmy Little who opened the scoring on a pass from Jeff Logan and Robbie Green. Deadlock (From Page One) made an offer in these areas." Apparently the board offer- ed to withdraw their man- agement's rights clause at the Sunday meeting if the teach- ers would agree to drop their teaching conditions clause. According to Breckenridge, this would have the effect of putting the teachers right back where they started before the negotiations began. The management's rights clause was presumably in- serted by the board to counter- balance any gains the teach- ers would make if they won the right to influence their working conditions, especially class size. Breckenridge quot- ed Toronto columnist Scott Young as saying that ,such management rights clause are "a 19th century concept", adding that the rights envis- ioned by the board are "extremely strong and over- reaching." 'It was unbelievable," he said, lit would take away any, pride a teacher could have in his profession." Another problem area cited by the teachers concerned an arbitration clause which would permit a neutral, third- party arbitrator to settle disputes arising from the contract. Teacher negotiator Brian Bellmore stated at a press conference in Port Hope on Friday, October 26th, "the arbitration which the teachers seek is a standard provision in most collective agreements." The primary advantage for the teachers of such a clause would be that they would have some recourse if they felt a class size was too large or their teaching load too heavy. Bellmore also accused the board of overloading teachers and declaring qualified and skilled teachers to be redundant. "The present atmosphere is such that they place an unbearable work load on teachers, ultimately to the detriment of the students," said Bellmore. He pointed out that student enrolment in Northumber- land-Durham has increased from 7,326 in January, 1973, to 7,643 in September, yet the number of teachers has been reduced from 446 to 428. To provide some kind of job security, the teachers want the board to include a redun- dancy clause in the new con- tract. The teachers feel it should be board policy to give favored treatment to any teacher who is declared re- dundant and loses his job due to a drop in enrolment. Such a teacher would be the first to be re-hired, if the teachers get their way, and no outside teacher would be employed within the board if a redun- dant teacher is available. Although no future dates have been set for any negotiat- ing session, Breckenridge stated "we'll meet with them any time they want." Student walkouts have not materialized this week on any large scale in the county's 10 high schools, largely due to the bad weather and threats of suspension from some high school principals such as Jim Speers at Courtice Secondary. Credit Given (From Page Orie) the Drug Action Committee it should be mentioned that Bowmanville's Mayor Ivan Hobbs and the new Mayor of the Newcastle municipality, Garnet Rickard, have been invited to attend the public meeting the committee is sponsoring on Thursday even- ing, November 29th. The meeting will take place in the council chambers of the muni- cipal building on Church Street and the featured speak- er will be Ron Marston, a representative of the Toronto- based Drug and Alcohol Con- cern. All interested parties are invited to attend. The executive of the Drug Action Committee are Colin Cooke, Chairman; Mrs. Don- na Whyte, Vice-Chairman; Helen Twining, Secretary; Clarence Bell, Treasurer; plus Fred Tippins, Mrs. Aud- Ley Martin, Fred Griffin, Bud Fanning, the Rev. A. M. Amacher and Helen Ovenden. H Mead-OnCrash On Hiighway 2 Iniures Four A head-on collision on High- way 2 just east of Solina Road, sent four people to hospital late Saturday night, October 27th. A Bowmanville man, Daniel J. Jones, 27 years, of 41 Liberty Street North, was heading east on Highway 2 at approximately Il p.m. when the accident occurred. The other vehicle involved was a pickup truck driven by 42- year-old Hugh D. McNevins of Oshawa. Apparently the McNevin truck crossed the centre white line and collided with the Jones' vebicle. An estimated $900 damages resulted to McNevin's vehicle while the Jones' car sustained an estimated $800 damage. Both drivers, plus two passengers in McNevin's truck, were taken to the Oshawa General Hospital. According to the hospital reports available, all were released after treatment with the exception of 38-year-old Gloria J. Lyman, one of McNevin's passengers. She remained under treatment and was reported in satisfac- tory condition on Tuesday, October 30tb. P.C. George Moon of the Newcastle OPP investigated Elect Rickard (From Page One) executive committee were elected. The other members pf . the executive committee are Des Newman from Whitby, James Potticary and John Howden from Oshawa, Lawrence Mal- colm from Scugog and Alan McPhail , from Brock. Reg- ional Chairman Walter Beath was also made a member of the executive committee and he was selected as chairman at Saturday's meeting. The other order of business for the executive committee was to review applications for administrative positions in the Durham' Region. Durham M.P.P. (From Page One) resolution that being given no formal notice of the proposed name of the Regional Munici- pality of Durham, the Corp- oration of the Town of Durham bas been denied natural jus- tice and its right to a fair hearing. The resolution stated that under the regulations of the Business Corporation Act guidelines to prevent corpora- tions having the same or similar names have been set out. Whereas existing incor- porated and unincorporated businesses and organizations bearing the name Durham and currently listed in tele- phone directories, trade jour- nals and other newspaper and periodicals will lose their identity as it relates to the Town of Durham. In response to this resolu- tion, Alex Carruthers, Dur- ham MPP stated that "there appears to be a major degree of misunderstanding with res- pect to the adoption, by an overwhelming vote, of the name of Durham for the new regional municipality east of Metro." Mr. Carruthers went on to say that in the formation of the Region of Durham, nothing is changed which would create confusion. "Unlike the new town of Cambridge which was formed from the towns of Galt, Hespeler and Preston to create a new urban centre, the Region of Durham will have no post office, railway station or other facilities identified with urban centres. The to< of Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Newcastle and Port Perry retain their names within the new jurisdiction; highway signs, post office, etc. will remain unchanged. Therefore, if the Durham Town corporations and busi- nesses, referred to in the resolution have existed during the years of county govern- ment without any difficulty, there is no reason to believe that they will lose their identity under the regional government, which, in many respects, is simply an expan- sion of the county system." Mr. Carruthers went on to list instances in the province where counties and urban centres have the same name: Simcoe, Hastings, Renfrew, Prescott, District of Cochrane and Cochrane, Kenora, Parry Sound, Region of Waterloo and Waterloo, Sudbury, County of Peterborough and the City of Peterborough, and Dundas. In conclusion Mr. Carruth- ers stated "on behalf of the citizens of the New Region of Durham, that it is an honor to share this historical name with a community which has, because of the genuine com- munity spirit existing in the town, played an important role in the cultural and economic life of this great province". PHOTOGRAPHS IN GRAPHICS Art derived from the photo- graphic image is the subject of the current exhibition on display at the Photography Gallery in the Public Library, Bowmanville. Entitled "Photographs in Graphics" the exhibition is intended to illustrate how the photograph, which has always played an important role in the art world, has recently had its proper place established. Photography is not simply an image to be duplicated, but is the springboard to further directions in any art medium. Interesting imagery is the resuit of impressions on the creative mind. By viewing some of the straight photo- graphic prints alongside their resultant counterparts, one can see the excitement crea- ted by the contributing artists: Judy Gouin, Richard Sewell, Neil Newton, Jim Brodie, J. Boughner, Vince Sharpe and Hans Schweitzer. DELOITTE, HASKINS & SELLS Chartered Accountants OFFICES IN MAJOR CANADIAN CITIES BELL CANADA BUILDING OSHAWA CENTRE - OSHAWA PARTNERS: GORDON F.
