2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 22, 1975 Local Women's B. & P. Club Written Up in Welsh. A clipping bas come to our attention from a newspaper in Pontypool Wales. The report entitled, "The Flying Welsh- man in Canada" is about a speech given by Miss Dilysi Roberts to the Pontypooli Wales Business. and Profes- sional Women's Club on ber recent tour of Canada. The highlight of Miss Rob- erts' tour was a day spent in1 Bowmanville as guest of the local branch of the Business1 and Professional Women's Club. The two clubs are1 twinned because Bowmanville is the closest club to Ponty- pool, Ontario. Miss Roberts had not plann- ed to visit Bowmanville until she noticed that by taking the slower route from Ottawa to Toronto she would be able to stop over here. She wrote to Mrs. Marion Jeffrey, liaison officer for the club. A tele- phone call confirmed the visit and several days later Miss Roberts was met at the bus by1 Marion Jeffrey and Marion Vanstone. The ladies went back to the Jeffrey's home which is des- cribed in the article Coat Failed- (From Page one) short, administrators of Dur- ham College said. A painting of a youn womanawearing only enoug to cover ber upper torso bas caused a stir at the college. The untitled work by To- ronto artist John C. Leonard was hung in an exhibition at the college but ordered re- moved by administrators. It depicts the semi-nude seated with part of ber pubic area showing below ber jack- et. (They had it public). The student newspaper, the Durham Chronicle, sent a picture of the painting to the Canadian Statesman printing firm at Bowmanville, Ont., to be included in today's issue of The Chronicle. But printer John James refused to print the paper with the photograph because he said the college administration objected. Later, the objections were withdrawn. A college administrator said the ainting had been remov- ed r o the exhibit atthe 1 rec1uest of people who use the 1 col ege.

After the working day, Marion Burgess, Greta Brown, and Jean Devitt oined the group for a tour of the area, which Miss Roberts described as "mainly agricultural with corn one of the principal products." The group then gathered at the home of Ina McNaughton ("another interesting old house") for an aperitif and to Paper present Miss Roberts with a p aque commemorating e anadian federation th e Business and Professional Women's Clubs. The report continues: "To crown it all, the Canadian ladies took her to an elegant restaurant called "The Flying Dutchman" for a delicious meal.' The report concludes that perhaps the 'Flying Dutchman' should be re- christened ,The Flying Welshwoman" in honor of Miss Robert's visit. Red Cross Blood Donor Committee Formed with First Clinic on On Wed., Jan. 15 a meeting was held with representatives of several very interested organizations in order to promote the Blood Donor Clinic for our area.

Much enthusiasm was shown with the result that all Feb 5th details were taken care of for the next clinie which is to be held Feb. 5th and plans were laid for meetings to arrange the remaining clinies during the year. Interest was also shown by the Bowmanville Kinsmen and of course our thanks goes to the Bowmanville Lions lub who gave us the use of their Centre for our clinics.

He reported that he had new facts to add and the matter was countants tabled for further information. :ANAD IAN CIT IES When it came up later in the meéeting, Coun. Lyall gave bis uildin9 speech, pointed out that Town E, OSHAWA Planner George Howden had stated in an earhier report that I.Sc.

Mr. Lyall also charged that the action of drawing up the by-law (for the re-zoning) had never been authorized by 'ICE .council. He went on to threaten that if the by-law is PAYERS OF passedhewould take it upon himself to circulate to every land owner in the old Clarke N EWVCASTLEarea who wants to cut up some . . of their land holdings and yers' Association point out exactly what this minations and council bas agreed to with regards to the Zondervan is Meeting on case."

He asked Coun. Lyall whether he was inferring that the council had done something "ethically wrong" or sîmply "stupid". Coun. Lyall replied suc- cinctly, "Both". "You haven't backed up a hing,"complained Coun. Coun. Wearn concurred, "There isn't anything there that people haven't heard before." To end the debate Mayor Rickard uttered his resound- ing criticism of Coun. Lyall's remarks. Readers will remember that the issue of the Zondervan case arose out of the issuing of a building permit on the understanding that the 4.8 acre lot had been created by expropriation. As it turned out, the farmer had co-operat- ed with the municipal govern- ment in allowing the land to be served for a road allowance and consequently expropria- tion proceedings had been unnecessary. The question then was whether a building could be put on this severed lot which was now useless for farming. When the fact that the lot had not been created by expropriation in the narrowest sense of the word was learned, a stop work order was placed on the building. Mr. Zonder- van who was committed to, moving into the bouse he was building in November made strong representations to council and the building in- spector was ordered to lift the stop work order. This was done and the bouse was completed in November. AIl that remained was the f assing of the re-zoning by- aw to regularize the situation. Carruthers (From Page One) population". Mr. Carruthers said that Dr. Charles McIlveen's announce- ment last week to probably run in Durham East did not influence his decision to re- tire. Dr. McIlveen is MPP for Oshawa. "I wasn't aware that Dr. McIlveen would be a candi- date", Mr. Carruthers disclos- ed. He said he had suggested to McIlveen a few weeks ago that he run in the new Durham East riding. "That would be very good," Carruthers said of McIlveen's candidacy. Mr. Carruthers said he knows of no other local candidates yet for the Conser- vatives in the election expect- ed some time next fal, but believes there will be many. Before be officîally retires he wantshto see w o will succeed him. Mr. Carruthers said be would be "perfectly satisfied" if that person were Dr. Charles McIlveen. TherCounty executive of the Conservative Party bas not set a date for electing a candidate, possibly waiting for the firrm outcome of redistribution. "The County executive can go ahead any time and organize for a candidate's, convention", Mr. Carruthers said last night. Reflecting briefly on the telephone on his political office since 1959 he said, "It is time I looked for a new career.' "After 17 years it's time I'd like to try sometbing else." He mentioned the insurance bus- iness as one of many things he'd like to do. Alex Carruthers admitted the decision to retire a difficult one, "because I enjoyed the experience so much." "It has been a very reward- ing career. And j bad very good relations with the people of Durham," Mr. Carruthers said. -Port Hope Guide Ganaraska 's (From Page One) running on the cross-country ski trails. This ruins the trails for skiing reports a represent- ative of the Pine Ridge Cross-Country Ski Club. It is believed that the snowmobilers do not realize that these are cross-country ski trails and an effort will be made to inform them that the snowmobile trails are marked witb signs and the cross-coun- try ski trails are marked with ribons. The recreation area is located about three miles north of Northumberland County Road 9 on the road separating Hope and Clarke Townships. The chalet which is open on weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is located on the property occupied by the Cold iprng Camp, and offers the public a chance to get warm and enjoy a cup of coffee.

So, be sure and reserve this day for you and your family. Snowmobile Representative Denies Charges That He Did Not level Long Sault Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club representa- tive Tom Hoar submitted the following statement to the Canadian Statesman in reply to claims that he did not level with councillors in initiating a snowmobile trail in the Town of Newcastle. He states "the papers make reference to one parcel of private land (to be crossed by the trail) when in fact I said there was one fenced off unimproved road allowance. This unimproved road allow- ance is not owned by Mr. Beaucage nor will it be unless the Town of Newcastle sells it." On the question of obtaining permission to cross this unim- proved road allowance, Mr. Hoar states "Mr. Beaucage was asked and gave verbal permission to cut the tree fences on the unimproved road allowance with the un- derstanding that they would be p ut back up in the spring, all litter to be cleaned up and "No Snowmobiling" signs be put up on the east side of the Sniper (From Paae One) gunman was using a .303- cali- re bold action Ross rifle. Young identified the man taken to hospital as Edward George McGaughey, 24, orig- inally from Sault Ste. Marie. Young said police have not determined the motive for the sniping and are awaiting the outcome of McGaughey's sur- gery and the completion of the investigation before any charges are laid. After four hours of surgery last night, McGaughey is reported in fair condition in the intensive care unit of Oshawa General Hospital. Cabinet" (From Page One) Provincial Legislature for the riding of Durham, Mr. Carru- thers strongly urges the con- stituents of the riding to take advantage of the chance tô present their views, however controversial, in the form of briefs to the Premier and bis colleagues. The Cabinet Ministers will hold their weekly meeting bebind closed doors in the morning and during the after- noon the public, as individuals or as groups, will present briefs and address the minis- ters. The various groups and individu.als who wisll to speak to the cabinet, M r.Carruthers stated, should first submit a brief to the Cabinet Office, Room 359, Main Parliament Buildings, Queen's Park, Tor- onto by February 3, 1975. The submission of the briefs ahead of time will enable the staff to prepare an orderly meeting whichwill ensure the sponsors of each submission will re- ceive sufficient time to relate their points of view to the cabinet., This is an excellent opport- unity for the people to be heard by the cabinet and is an effort on the part of the government to bring govern- ment directly to the people, Mr. Carruthers stated. W.F. Rickard (From Page One) Frank Rickard was born January 8, 1884 at "The Grange", Newcastle and was the only son of John Rickard, from whom he inherited a hundred acre farm. The farm has been his home since he was one year of age. As a farmer and a resident of Newcastle village, Mr. Rickard was chairman of the Management Committee of the Community Hall, a mem- ber of the Library Board, a former president of the Hor- ticultural Society, a former Ontario Director of Horticult- ural Societies, past president of the Durham Central Agri- cultural Society, a Director of the Nortbumberland and Dur- ham Apple growers Associa- tion, and a Vice President of both the West Durham and Clarke Agricultural Societies. He was president of the Durbam Central Fair and the Durham Shortborn Club. At the time of bis death, Mr. Rickard bad been a 25-year member of the Newcastle Lions. He was a member of the Bowmanville Canadian Club and the Newcastle Bowl- ing Club. A steward in the Newcastle United Cburch, he had sung in the choir and as one of a mixed quartette. He was representative to the Bay of Quinte Presbytery for the church for a number of years. An active member in the. Durham Masonic Lodge, he was Worsbipful Master in 1920 and District Deputy Grand Master in 1924. Last Septem- ber, the lodge awarded him a certificate on the 50th anni- versary of bis being a District Deputy Grand Master. On December 9, 1954, he installed his son John as Worshipful Master for the coming year. He is survived by his second wife, the former Clara Moffat, three daughters, Mrs. Charles Hogg (Dorothy) of Leaside, Mrs. John Edwards (Evelyn) of Kingston and Mrs. Clare Shipley (Jean) of Sarnia and two sons, John and David of Newcastle. Mr. Rickard is also survived by nine grand- children and one great grand- child. His first wife the former Bessie Staples, died in 1930. with Coi unimproved road allowance to deter snowmobiling on his true "property" that was cut. In iegard to the repair of the fence that was cut, Mr. Hoar, said, "Mr. Beaucage did not ask to have the fences repaired but was told they would be put back up after he would not even look at the written permission contract we had drawn up. However, Mr. Lorne Crago met with Mr. Beaucage on Fridáy night December 27, 1974 and anoth- er member had driven by the road on Friday afternoon and saw that the fence had already been put back up." Mr. Hoar states he met with Committee of the Whole on December 9 and 23 and met with the works committee on December 12. In regard to a complaint received by Councillor Ken Lyall from one of two other property owners involved, Mr. Hoar states that this is a Mr. Fisher whose property is not crossed. The Long Sault Ridge Run- ners Snowmobile Club state that the purpose of the trail is to promote safety in the use of snowmobiles, and to insure that private property is not crossed without permission. Mr. Hoar says that a trail would confine snowmobiles to one track which would be groomed. Without such a track,;Mr. Hoar indicated that snowmobiles would keep mov- ing to the side on a trail to avoid bumps lef t b y other snowmobiles and would even- tually be traveling across farmers' fields. T he trail, whicb curves, keeps snowmo- biles to slower speeds than could be achieved on straight- a-ways and this would pro- mote safety, Mr. Hoar pointed out. The use of snowmobiles in the municipality is up to the Town Council, according to an act recently passed in the Provincial House. At present, a bylaw to establish a trail for snowmobiles in Newcastle bas been referred to the works committee.
