Both cars were taken to Orono Towing where they joined several others that have been involved in recent accidents on the same stretch of highway. Mark William Donaghue, 18, of 240 Adelaide St. Kingston, was killed and 'Earl Martin also of Kingston is in the intensive care unit of the Toronto General Hospital fol- lowing an accident Friday night on Hwy. 115-35 just Soutb of Clarke Hîgh School. The accident occurred less than two weeks after the ministry of transportation and communications had told a meeting at the high school that_ th e Lodge for their under- taking of writing the bistoryof d the past 25 years of the lodge. - .ir. Nancekivell continued his address on the history of r the lodge and what it had e meant and means in terms of e Masonry. He stated"that the e lodge had been formed here by - 10 members and had now n grown almost to 200 members. He deduced that this meant six generations of men have f gone through the Lodge. t He stated that there was an d advantage in belonging to a smaller lodge in that the members have more common interests. The largest lodge in Ontario has 700 members. On a recent topic of con- frontation, Mr. Nancekivell pointed out that congruent jurisdiction for Ontario then Canada would mean that members paying iower tees at one lodge could attend another lodge where the fees are higher. He commentecd that "Masonry is too cheap" and suggested the fees should be raised. But this, he said would only hurt the older people on fixed incomes. Four points of what Mason- ry bas meant to Jerusalem Lodge in 125 years were mentioned in the address. 1. a life of fellowship, 2. a common ground for friendship, 3 125 years of Masonic teachings and 4. 125 years of active participation in community affairs. In the introduction, Mr. MacKenzie stated the theme behind Masonry is a beautiful system of morality based in allegory and illustrated' by symbols. Mr. Nancekiveil added that it was a way of life that lifts the moral tone of any life. On the benevolence of the Masons, he stated how in Red Rock fellow Masons bad built a house for a member who had suffered a heart attack and was confined to a wheelchair, bow Masons had built arenas in communities, cared for families, children and or- f hans. He mentioned the odge's benevolence to non- Masons in providing funds for students in the final year at University, and in holding blood donor clinics. The Ma- sons are not primarily a benevolent association but do have great benevolence, Mr. Nancekivel concluded. The Rt. W. Bro. A. B. Lobb thanked the speaker and presented him with a gift. Claim New (From Page One) and merchants were in attend- ance as the meeting com- menced at 9 a.m., but by il a.m. the audience had been cul to 30, A confrontation arose wben the developers solicitor Gary Smith told the meeting, that il was the second time that the consul- tants for the company had been down to address couneil and bad been sbuoed out. MayorGarnet Rickard wo presided over the meeting and asked the rhetorical question, "do we give a green light to all developers?" To the request of Mr. Smith that the consultants 'be al- lowed to present their studies 'to the Chamber of Commerce, and residents assembled, act- ing president of the chamber John Pogue suggested that a show of hands be.taken. Max J. Bacon of the Proctor and Redfern Group of consult ing engineers and planners was the first 10 give a report on behaf of DM. Consultants. He told the meeting that the pro posea stopping centre would be attractive, viable and would help the communi- ty. Mr. Bacon reported that regional planners agreed that this 103,000 sq. ft. shopping centre was the right thi°g He made the conjecture that the members of audience would it would take a month or five weeks for a "meaningful report on the highway situa- tion. This stretch of highway has been labelled a death strip by local residents. Newcastle OPP say Mr. Donoghue and Mr. Martin were passengers in a south- bound car driven by Richard Sweetman, 17, of 58 Hunt St., Bowmanville, that was in collision with a vehicle driven by Raymond Flanagan, 24, of 288 Landsdowne in Peterbor- °ike o"secithe downtown core grow, and the company he prepared the study, for agreed. He stated that the proposed Simpson-King Shopping Cen- tre was the end of a line, an anchor for commercial deve- lopment in Bowmanville from the Bowmanville Creek to Soper Creek with no conflict in keeping this the commercial centre. To an earlier charge that the centre was originally. pro- posed as a small convenience type shopping plaza and was now being projected as a full blown shopping centre. Mr. Bacon informed the audience that it would not be a full blown shopping centre. He stated there are three types of shopping centres, the small convenient type, with a Mac's Mîlk etc., Zh ecomnunity centre of 100,000 sq. ft. and the regional centre. T e proposal centre woud be a community centre, providinig stres thazit are not here, Mr. Bacon stated. (Continued Next Week) Swim Pool (From Page One) 120,000 Canadian gallons of water. First man into the new pool despite the freezing tempera- ture of the water was Bill Mitchell, who donned a wet suit and made his way to the bottom of the pool to cut a hole in the vinyl liner. The hole is to release any pressure which wouio cause the bottom of the pool (liner) to lift. Three holes will be cut before the pool is completed, however, only one, is needed for now, Merrill Brown picked up a 100 ft. by 47 ft. polyethylene cover in Toronto in his stationwagon. The cover which costs $705 was placed over the pool and staked into position, This is how the pool will sit tli next spring. Mr. Brown told the States- man that the pool as it now sits has cost the clubs and the town somewhere between $22000 and $23,000. The only work that will be donc now i the installation of a fence around the site, which should be completed in the next thre weeks. The construction of the change house, and installation of the fiiter tanks, plumbing and a 10 foot patio around the pool will be done in the spring. The pool will be ready for use next summer. The pool i5 located in the southeast corner of the park. It is'10 feet deep at one end and tbree and a haîf at the other. The liner is pure white with a beautiful blue tile around the circumference at the top. NESTLETON On Friday a number of Cartwright residents travelled by Rohrer-Dorrell bus and spent the day at the winter fair. On their return they had evening dinner at the Ponder- osa Steak House aI Oshawa, ars. James Fennell, Kemptville, is spending a week's vacation with her sister and husband, Mr. and, Mrs. George Heaslip. Mrs. R. W. Jackson spent a few days last week at the home of ber son the Gerald Jackson's, in Port Perry. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Thoma- ough. Mr. Sweetman, .Mr. Flana- gan, and two passengers in the Flanagan car, Janice Flana. gan, 22 and Patrick Flanagan, 2, both of the same address as Mr. Flanagan, were treated and released at Bowmanville Memorial Hospital. Mr. Martin was transferred from Memorial Hospital to the Toronto General. A man and a woman are in critical condition following a Housing (From Page One) of concentration of population. Good re ional lea dership, backed y an intelligent development plan essential to meet this challenge. He pled- ged the co-operation of the Home Builders Association in this undertaking. In describing current trends in the housing industry, Mr. Frank announced that the year ending in the Spring of 1974 had been the most profitable in the history of the ndustry. In 1973 there was a 75 percent increase in sales over 1972tinthe municipalities east of Metropolitan Toronto (now the Region of Durham), an increase that amounted to $150 million. Although 1974 figures show an increase of 25 percent over '73, Mi' Frankexplained that these figures did not tel] the whole story. Tbey ontly!(Itcude 'the period up to Auguist and s0 reflect the panic buying of the first four months of the year. The relationship between new housing starts and real estate sales was emphasized. In the Newcastle area, hous- ing starts were up 20 percent in 1973, and housing prices were up 25 percent At the beginnng of 1974 there were »j00 new housing starts com- pared to 2200 for the whole of 1973. However, there has been a "drastic decline" in permit applications more recently. In real estate sales, the prices were up 15 percent in the first quarter of the year, but down 10 percent in the second two quarters, so that the net increase is only 5 percent. Mr. Frank points out that this five percent figure must be considered in the light of the fact that inflation in costs in the construction industry is only exceeded by that in the food industry. The Consumier Price Index has not yet reflected this 10 percent drop which, Mr. Frank points out is being absorbe almost entirely by the builders of new homes. Vendors who are "owner- occupants are better able to resist the downward pressure on prices." We have flip-flopped from what was the most fantastic housing market in history to what seems to be the worst imaginable. " Mr. Frank did not shirk the accusation that many mem bers of the housing industry son attended a family dinner party, on Sunday, at the home of their daughter and sonin law, Mr. and Mrs. Neil Bailey, Blackstock. Sunday Services Presbyterian In the Presbyterian Church Reverend Stuart McEntyre, Interim Moderater, Port Perry, was the guest speaker and conducted the Commun- ion service. The theme for the message was "On Being Angry' with the Scripture reading, James 1: People go about nursing grudges for years. God says to be forgiv ng and love. Man never looks in the mirror and sees himself as othèrs see him. Bad'temper has been the end of many friendships. There are times when anger is justified - when others are needlessly abused. The Bible says, "Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might". United Church In the United Church Rev erend Victor Parsons chose "In the Lord's Service" as the topic for his message with the sermon based on Stewardship. The Bible reading was il Corinthians chapter 8. We are ail stewards but not ah are good stewards. Good steward- ship is Man's responsibility to God, or res onse to the grace of Christ.A good steward is responsive and responsible. He gives systematically, pro- portionately, gladly and rep- presentatively two car crash at Hwy. 35 and 115 and regional road nine, Tuesday morning. Both were taken to Bow- manville Memorial Hospital and the man was transferred to Toronto' General Hospital and the woman to Oshawa General Hospital. The woman was identified and Lynda Gombos, but no other inform- ation is available at this time. She is in fair condition in intensive care. did take unscrupulous advan- tage of naive purchasers during the spree of anie buying. But he exclude any members of his audience from this generalization. He pointed out that after the last period of tight money, the 'demand for housing was so great that "pull inflation" was the result. In our present situation, however, the situ- tion is slighty different. There is an acknowledged housing surplus at the moment. More international circumstances beyond our control are in- volved. The other problem he pin-pointed was the loss of the work ethie aiour society. Although at the moment, the housing industry may have 'priced themselves out of the market," an economic reco- very will come. But we must ail work together productive- ly, doing an "honest day's work for. our honest day's pay." if this principle were adhered to throughout our society including political leaders, Mr Frank feels that lose. ity'ould be inevita- le. 7The Markof Building Excellence Nestleton Presbyterian' Ladies Aid The hostess for the Ñovem- ber meeting, Mrs. Harry Mc- Laughln, assisted oy 'ier sister Mrs. Geo.
