Local Girl May Choose a Career as Photographer's Model BOWMANV SECTION TWO Buy Two Helicopters For Provincial Police Kinettes Present $100 to Santa Claus Parade The Ontario Provincial Police has purchased two Bell Jet Ranger Helicopters to complement the force's exist- ing fleet of fixed-wing air- craft, Solicitor General George A. Kerr, Q.C., an- nounced today In commenting on this expansion of OPP services, Commissioner 11H. Graham said, "The use of the two helicopters will add greater flexibility to the movement of OPP personnel, and will help the force provide even better protection and service to the people of Ontario." The force will take delivery of the helicopters on October 21, 1974. They will be put in service as soon as they have been outfitted with OPP identification decals, radio, loudspeakers, searchlights, and other safety and rescue equipment. The helicopters will be impersonal. Massive govern- ment efforts could discourage volunteer workers because they would not be able to see any real impact from their contribution. Ultimately, then, government programs would ossify into elitist train- ing schemes run by profes- sionals. The priority could easily become producing a few spectacular professionals rather than involving great numbers of participants at an amateur level. Mr. Fisher feels this would be disastrous to sport in Canada. Indeed, it is very difficult to see how such a policy would benefit the ma- lority of Canadians. Mr. Fisher and others like him who are committed to more and better sport with greater general participation in fit- ness programs, believe that the extent and effects of government involvement must be carefully monitored. Bureaucratic structures with their inevitable empire- building become formi dably entrenched- so rapidly that it may already be too late to reverse the trend toward more and more publie spending. Sportswriters have seriously neglected their duties in not describing this potential men- ace to their readers. , Public awareness of this enormous challenge facing amateur sport may well be just the watchdog government needs to encourage it to play its important role with sensi- tivity and restraiit. Mr. Fisher has performed an based near Toronto and will be used in a wide variety of support and emergency roles across the province. A number of OPP members are experienced pilots who already hold a commercial licence. In addition, several are licenced helicopter pilots. After a brief training and familiarization period they will pilot the new acquisitions. The Jet Rangers are cap- able of carrying four passen gers. They have a maximum cruising speed of 142 miles per hour and a cruising range of 372 miles. They will have high skid landing equipment that is interchangeable with fixed floats. They will have an internal cargo hook and hoist equipment. Currently, the OPP operates six fixed-wing aircraft under lease. In addition, they have acquired a Turbo Beaver which will soon be operational in providing improved polie- ing service to remote com- munities in the northwestern region of Ontario. Six Cessna 172 aircraft are used in southern Ontario for traffic enforcement patrols, and search and rescue operations. COUNCKIL BRIEFS Action Housing Murray V. Jones and Assoc- iates will be retained to do a study on the growth potential for ousing in the Town of Newcastle. Three communi- ties will be concentrated on: Bowmanville, Courtice and Newcastle. It is estimated that this study will cost $130,000. The province bas confirmed $100,000 of this money will be paid in this fiscal year. There is a verbal committment for the remaining $30,000 for 1975. Several councillors ex- ressed concern when it was earned that strict fiscal accountability would be dif- ficult to maintain. Murray V. Jones and Associates are unable to submit a detailed analysis of costs because so many factors are unpredict- able. Coun. Entwisle used the example of public meetings. No one can tell whether one or 30 public meeting will be required. Escalating costs may prohi- bit completion of the study but On Monday afternoon at the Bank of Montreal, Bowmanville Kinette Club President Marilyn Webster and Vice President Donna Fairey presented the club's $100 donation to Santa Claus Parade Treasurer, D.

The committee seemed to be most anxious fnot to have to budget any municipal funds for this work. The recommendation that council proceed with the commissioning of this study passed unanimouslv. Firearms will be restricted to shotguns for people shoot- ing on their own properties without a licence, or possibly a 22.

AhletiOfcs by Jean Ahlvik In an article in the October issue of Legion magazine, Douglas Fisher, well known sports enthusiast, writer, pol- itician and political commen- tator, offers some surprising warningsi about government involvement in sports in Canada. Escalating government sports spending could event- ually kill the vitality of amateur sport in Canada. Sports organizations must continue to involve people in a recreational volunteer capac- ity. If government bureauc- racy takes over too complete- ly, dead professionalism will be the undesired resuit. Mr. Fisher supports his contentions with some inter- esting facts. First, be ob- serves that sports enthusiasts, athletes, and sports writers alike are so concerned with the immediate event (who won last night's game? or who will play goal on Saturday?) that they seldom, if ever, put the sports picture into per- spective. The recent McMurtry report made some attempts to look at the purposes and direction of amateur hockey, but these recommendations were lost in the free-for-all over fighting suspensions. Snce Trudeau's election in 1968, government involvement in athletics bas increased tremendously. In the late 60's, government spending fell well below the statutory limit of $5 million, now the budget for "The Fitness and Amateur Sport Program" is $17.1 million. Mr. Fisher praises then iealth and Welfare Minister, ohn Munro and his senior deputy-minister Joe Willard for an "exceptional contribu- tion to Canadian sport". According to Mr Fisher, they were the ones who managed to rescue sport from the realm of non-policy and take some initatives toward a positive - Doug Fsher coberent policy. This change which i in official attitude and spend- producim ing Fisher considers the Olympic "major sporting feature of the al game times in our country." Fisher,h Had the health and welfare portfolio been in the hands of present minister Marc La- londe the revolution would never have taken place. Ac- cording to Mr. Fisher, man- darin Lalonde bas not the "feel" for sports that a "·shirt-sleeves" politician like John Munro bas. The 1969 Task Force on Sport under Harold Rea made a multitude of recommenda- tions which resulted in a firm federal commitment to im- proving participation and standards of exellence in sport in Canada. This commitment brought the provincial governments out of the woodwork. Not to be outdone, they have all, by now, either matched or sur- passed the federal govern- ment in enthusiasm and spending. For example, the federal government's Canada Games have been reinforced by the Ontario Games and so on. A National Sports Adminis- tration Centre Corporation has been established in Ot- tawa which provides general administrative services for the national sporting federa- tions. Grants are also avail- able to underwrite the salaries of full time technical and administrative directors for each of the federations. These moves have been a deliberate attem pt to get amateur sports "off the kitch- en tables" and thus cope with the two major problems in amateur athletics; co-ordina- tion of activities and develon- ment of sophistîcated coach- ing techniques. Another ederal corporation 0 is the Canadian Olympic anin Association, the sports part of two r the national health and wel- fare departnent. It is their Scoul program, Game Plan 76, centr is concentrating on g a better Canadian team for the Montre- s. According to Mr. higher standards for both coaches and athletes have resulted. Some of our finest athletes are now concentrating all of their time and energy on improving their performances while several thousand others enjoy bursaries or scholar- ships to pursue their education and their sport jointly. This, of course, is ail very commendable. However, Mr. Fisher cautions that serious dangers are inplicit in this situatior.

On October 16, Kinette members hosted their annual 'Mothçrs and Guests Night" at the Acres Restaurant. K-ette members also were present and brought total attendance to approximately 75 persons. They were served a delicious dinner and then Kinette President Marilyn Webster called to order a short business meeting to discuss reports on current Kinette Projects. All guests were given color- ful crocheted potholders as favors and a few lucky persons received draw prizes besides. For entertainment after- Diurîng s Nighf wards, Bill Lander, a student at B.H.S.,showed slides taken during his excursion to the U.S.S.R. last year. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Bill's hunorous anecdotes of his stay in Moscow, but they were awed to hear of the poor living conditions there. We had to agree with him that what made the most impression was the strict disciplinary measures imposed on every- day life. Bih1 stayed after showing the slides to answer many questions asked from his attentive audience. Coffee and plates of squares were then served to complete a most enjoyable evening for all those present.

Hampton Cubs Lose Two Members as Thev Go Up to Sea Scouts On Monday evening, at Hampton Junior Public School, npressive ceremony took place, marking the transfer of members of the lst Hampton Cubs to lst Hampton Sea ts. Kevin Henning and Craig Power, standing at rear 'e in this photo, were the two Cubs who were given a warm welcome bv the Sea Scouts.-Leaders are. from left to right, Baloo Sonia Parfitt, Akela Sandy Miller, Scout Leader Frank Menard, Caw Herb Hollister and Bagherra Ed Mountenay. The three main thrusts that the Government has already followed in combatting inflation and to which new impetus will be added are: - steps to increase the supply of goods and services so that shortages will not shoot prices up. Among the measures proposed to increase food production are incentives to farmers and fishermen, including the stabilization of in- comes and markets - protection of those least able to help themselves. Legisla- tion in this area includes more aid for older citizens and war veterans, including pension increases and lowering of some age requirements - cushioning of some of the harshness of inflation experi- enced by Canadians. For example, we will ask authoriza- tion for the one-price system for oil across Canada. The list of legislation introduced at the opening of Parlia- ment touches every Canadian. Food production will be assisted by continued international action to ensure that Canada has full coastal rights, including conservation of fish stock. - The Food Prices Review Board will be extended through 1975 to continue its watch on prices. - Consumers will be helped by anti-profiteering legislation to ensure against unacceptable profit levels. The Combines Investigation Act will be amended to crack down harder on uncompetitive business practices such as mis- leading advertising. Home seekers will be aided through federal financial assist- ance to reduce the cost of serviced land and encourage and assembly. The Registered Home Owners' Savings Plan also will he home buyers. Energy supplies will be furthered by the establishment of Petro-Canada, the national petroleum corporation There will be greater financial and other support for small business. Job hunters will be helped by increased manpower efforts to ensure that trained Canadians are in the right place at the right time to fill job vacancies. Steps will be taken to increase Canadian processîng of the country's natural resources bound for export, thereby making more jobs available. Transport remains a key concern to people in a country at big as Canada, and much attention will be given in this Par. Iament to improving this prime factor in the country's sociai und economic life. I believe you will find that our program is well-planned md imaginative. We are ready for a very heavy session. We ex- pect it, to be a very profitable one for Canadians.
