The waistline held attention here as it showed off with nipped-in tucks, belts and shirt-and- topper looks. After a short intermission in which door prizes were drawn,> the models paraded a breath- taking array of evening wear in a wide range of styles and fabrics. Backs were bared, and skirts usually fell full to the floor. Lurex fabrics spark- led brightly in the evening lights. Short cocktail dresses in soft and feminine lines, showed an alternative for those not-so-formal occasions. From basic black to soft astels, all the dresses were eautifully elegant for grand- mother and the young miss. The hour and half show was concluded with lounge wear and negligee sets in vivid'- prints and soft sheers.

Long Term Goals "We must set these goals before we do extensive long- term traffic studies, street improvement programs, offi- cial plans and zoning and especially before establishing long-term capital budgets and encouraging growth and de- velopment," he asserted. "We are now in a position of authority to atlopt some policy and reach the goals we set." The ideal way to go about this long-term planning, he said, would be to "shut the door and stop al] future development until we can take an inventory of the assets and a liabilities that we have within our boundaries." However, he admitted "you cannot stop development just SORÊY - WEDDING BELLS SATURDAY, DECEMBER lst No Dance NEW DUTCH OVEN Hwy.115 - Orono Now Exclusive Dealer 'in for Wonder Bra FREE DRAWS .. .

Mr. Klassen outlined the work the Ontario Food Council is doing in expanding this province's exports of processed food. like that - bang - because people have to have a place to live and we do have people who need houses. "We should decide next," he continued, "in consultation with the senior levels of government, our planners and the various public interest groups, what we want. "Do we want another Metro, with its problems of transpor- tation, accommodation, pollu- tion, social and mental frus- tration", he asked, counter- ing, "I contend you don't have t» be big to be good. "What I am trying to say is that it is goig to be a tremendous task for the elect- ed people to start now to decide what we want for Durham as a long term goal. We must decide where we want to develop, where we want our open space and all the related functions services and industries as a total picture.", Beath pointed out that an even bigger task than determ- ining the goals and priorities for Durham will be "to get the politicians to accept the rec- ommendations of the staff and to legislate the proper restric- tions, controls or whatever is best, and then stick with it and make it a reality." H1e added that in creating "a balanced community for all . . we must be ready to accept some decisions that influence, even restrict us as individuals, if we are to accomplish the Two Minor Traffic Mishaps on Weekend It's been aquiet week for firemen and police in Bow- manville. Fire Chief Jim Hayman reports no serious fire calls and the BPD had only two traffic accidents of any consequence to investi- gate. The first mishap came shortly after 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 23rd when a two-car collision occurred on the Base Line Road near Hunt Street. A westbound car driven by Aage Nielsen of Enniskillen collided with an eastbound vehiele driven by Lisa Wilkinson of 29 Simpson Avenue, Bowmanville. The accident took place on the narrow Bowmanvile Creek bridge. Police reported that driving conditions were good at the time although darkness was falling. The Wilkinson vehicle sustained an estimat- ed $600 damage while Niel- sen s car incurred $300 in damages. The Wilkinson woman suf- fered minor injuries but did not require treatment at Bowmanville's hospital. The investigating officer in the case was P.C. Bob Schumacher of the Bowman- ville Police. Early Saturday evening police were called to the corner of King and Temper- ance Street to investigate another two-car mishap. This time 18-year-old Jane Cattran of 29 Beech Avenue was involved in an accident with Harvey J. Smith of 93 High Street. Miss Cattran was headed south on Temperance Street while Smith was in the northbound lane, attempting to make a left-hand turn onto hoig-term goals." Leave Administration toStaff The new Regional Chairman reiterated the need "for coun- cil to establish policy and to leave the details of adminis- tering that policy to a capable and knowledgeable staff. "If council gets too involved in the day to day administra- tion then staff may tend to avoid their true responsibility because they might feel their recommendations are too often rejected." It May Be Expensive "I have no, hesitancy in telling you that regional gov- ernment will not be any less expensive", he said, adding "had regional government not been formed, the costs would in all likelihood have increas- edastheyhavein thepastand we would still be going on in our short-sighted ways . . . neglecting to look at the larger scene. "If regional government does cost more, hopefully the actions taken by council in ifs day to day deliberations and long term achievements will justify the money spent. That is really the only way to look at the total picture." He also gave the Rotarians and their guests a "progress report" on the work the new council has accomplished in the five weeks since the elections. He pointed out that they have decided on the general type of administrative structure, both at committee and staff levels, have estab- lished the membership of the executive committee, the four council committees (finance, planning and development, social services and public works) and the appointees to the police commission as well as hiring men for the top five positions in the administration. Beath commented, "I am well pleased with this (prog- ress) and I think you, as elected or electorate, should also be pleased." King Street.

Land-use legislation passed in early summer gives no such guarantees, claimed Hill. These three bills are really planning for development rather than planning to put our land to the use for wbich it is 1best sie. 11e also reprimanded farm- ers for leaving it up to the trade and governments to find and develop export markets. "They have failed, and farm- ers may lose market oppor- tunies today because we ve sat on our butts." He called on farmers across Canada to unite, and take the initiative in exporting farn produets. "If farmers were strongly organized today, I'm sure we could sign up long- termk onfracfs. I'm also sure we could be sehing a larger degree of processing in our export products.' However, farmers are los- ing these markets by default, added Hill, because they are not strongly organized to take advanage of the seller's market that exists across the world today. "Regardless of how efficient we are as producers, if we do a poor job of marketing, we are throwing money away." ,He told the farmers present that the first step to cornering export markets is for farmers across Canada to band togeth- er. Then, they would be strong enough to work with govern- ments and the trade as a team. Success, he added, will only come with an industry- wide approach, not a contin- uance of the hit-and-miss efforts of the past. H1e warned that quibbling between provin- ces over export markets must end. Hill predicts another round of soaring input costs at the farm gate durin, coming months. "Farmers can expect to pay another $15-million next year when the price freeze on fuels is lifted. Ontario farmers can count on a five cents-a-gallon increase on heating oil and a six cents-a-gallon increase on diesel oil and gas." Hydro costs will be up another 10 per cent in the new year. Fertilizer prices on some analyses are already 35 per cent above last fall's prices. Hill alerted farmers to the short supply of fertilizer for the coming spring, and the tight delivery problems they can expect. He called on the Canadian government to negotiate with the U.S. government to ensure that Canadian farmers have enough phosphates to supply their needs. Hill pointed out that the U.S. depends largely on Canadian potash and nat- ural gas (used to produce nitrogen) to supply its fertiliz- er market. Canada, in turn, is deficient in phosphate rock which is shipped up from the Southern US. Although Canada should be in a solid bartering position, Hill warned that Canada's fertilizer plants are divisions of international companies. "Our Minister of Agriculture Eugen Whelan said publicly that he bas had discussions with the fertilizer companies, and has been assured that ade uate supplies will be available. The integrity of the fertilizer suooliers is on the line. If any of them fail to follow through, their privilege of doin business in Canada should b e withdrawn." He said that the hardships created by rising input costs are being intensified by the government's refusal to halt inflation, while the same government is prepared to hold down food prices to consumers. "This places farmers in an intolerable position.' Hill cautioned, that although farm income in the last few months bas been higher than in several years, dimmer days are ahead. "It's a fast moving world, and we're living in the day of the lobby. Either farmers dig in and get our share, or learn to be satisfied with what's left over." Hill's organization, the Ont- ario Federation of Agriculture is the largest voluntary orga- nization of farmers in Ontario.

Teacher's Dispute (From Page One) Both groups have agreed not to discuss the contract until after the agreement has been signed. Trustee William Car- man from Orono, the chair man of the board's negotiating committee, commented he is "'very optimistic" that an accord will be reached. A local teachers' spokesman indicated that the majority of the teachers seem "reason- ably satisfied as far as working conditions are con- cerned", an indication that a compromise has been worked out on the class size issue. The local teachers called in the provincial executive of the teachers federation to take over the negotiations aftèr the October 28th meeting between the board and the teachers ended in a stalemate. The provincial negotiators and the trustees met twice, once on Monday, November 19th, and again on Thursday, November 22nd. After the first meeting, the local teachers dropped their work-to-rule campaign and resumed their voluntary, extracurricular services. The second meeting was a marathon session, lasting from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. Apparently the contract was pounded out at that time and the provincial negotiators recommended that the local teachers accept On Friday, November 23rd, the local teachers met in Port Hope and voted by a large majority to ratify the new contract. Two hundred and eighty-three of the 363 teachers who attended Friday's session voted in favor of the proposal. Thursday's special board meeting gets underway at 7:30 p.m. and the betting is that the trustees will vote to ratify the contract and end the long dispute. Barring any unfore- seen complications, things should be back to normal in Northumberland-Durhams 10 high schools by next week. School Board Cuts Off Bus Service To Waverley Road The Northumberland-Dur- ham Board of Education voted last week to terminate the 'temporary' school bus serv- ice from the Waverley Road area to Central Public School effective Friday, November 30th. The trustees had insti- tu'ted the service last year because of the hazards creat- ed by the road and bridge construction in the Bowman- ville Creek area in the west end of town. Apparently 90 concerned parents in the Waverley Road area have signed a petition protesting the termination of the school buses and request- ing that they be reinstated. The parents hope to present the petition to the next meeting of the board of education. Local schooflboard trustees have met with the Bowman- ville Town Council and worked out certain safety details, including hiring crossing guards for the area, in lieu of the bus service.
