2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 12, 1975 Section To AI EDITORIAL COMMENT Should Be Handy Recently, there has been great concern over the number of people who have been killed in accidents on a stretch of Highway 115-35 between Highway 401 and Enterprise Hill. For some unaccountable reason, 12 people have died on that particular piece of road in the past 13 months. At the moment, several groups including the Highways, department are studying the problem but, to date, no major corrective steps have been taken except near the en- trances to Clarke High School and the new Pines Senior Public School, where several of those accidents have occurred. Directly across the road from the schools is a restaurant. It was formerly Horne's and is now named the Forum Restaurant. Somehow, Newcastle's town council learned that this particular restaurant had applied for the Dining Lounge licence, to permit them to serve alcoholic beverages with meals. It came up in council and was duly reported in the press some weeks ago, with council opposing the granting of a licence. This week, the AI")D Finance Committee learned that the Board had already granted a Dining Lounge licence back in November, so they again opposed it and will send aIL correspondence to Alex Carruthers in the hope that he may yet be able to do something about it. A bit late, but apparently they felt it was about all they could do at this point in time. To date, no objections have come from the students at Clarke, some of whom are probably of the ripe legal age of 18 and could be looking forward to dances at the school with no need to go any further than across the road for a sandwich and a pick- me-up, now andagain as the evening progresses. We can't help wondering if the Licencing Board in its wisdom was informed of the location of this particular restaurant, and if they realized that several deaths have occurred in the vicinity in car accidents. Frankly, right across from a high school on a high risk road doesn't seem the ideal spot for a liquor serving restaurant. 'FOR, TýE 'KiLLWF5T)IýG qUF511iO'- HOW' ABOUT - - IJJA T 6V//ENWOLD P~E-ELET FC~ FARLE55 E IOWA/ Could Be A Good Fight From all appearances, and re- ports, the Ontario Liberals are really gearing up for an all out battle with the Progressive-Conservatives in the forthcoming election when- ever it comes. They fairly oozed optimism at the recent convention, with leader Bob Nixon in a fighting mood and all set to take on the big Blue Machine, whatever that is, any time Premier Bill Davis wants to go to the people. Even NDP leader Stephen Lewis seems to be somewhat disturbed, offering the Liberals advice that they should not base their campaign on scandals, personal attacks and vindictive politics. We were wondering why the Premier or his party would decide to proceed with a redistribution bill so close to an election. It's a bill that would disturb the established organ- izations and territorial area for many of his sitting members, including Durham's Alex Carru- thers. It seemed poor politics for the governing party, and apparently some of the government's members must have thought so too, because the alterations may well be held over now until after the election. That makes common sense because it would allow all parties some time to become familiar with the new boundaries. We haven't any idea when an election will be called, but unless the political climate changes consider- ably in the next few months, it could be an interesting and bitterly fought battle. Time will tell. What Is A Woman? (A Sermonette by Rev. G. R. Montgomery) If a man were to list the engaging quaities in a wornan; gaearm, warmth of personality and gentle ness would all be among the first he'd mention. But would Christ agree? I feel that He would have placed constancy first. Have you noticed how many of, Christ's parables deal with men? Only two honour women, the parables of the unfortunate widow, and the lost coin. One features an old woman who succeeded by sheer persistance. The other tells of a young woman who could not sleep till she found the missing coin lost from her necklace. It was like losing her wedding ring, and her search went on diligently until she found it. Christ singles out the two because they had one quality in common. You could call it persistence or determination, but I think ea more gracious word in constancy. In Christ's eyes this is the woman's golden virtue and Christ was a shrewd observer. One of the epic tales of the Bible is the story of Ruth and Naomi, where the glory of Ruth lies in her constancy towards Naomi. All but concealediin the account of Christ's trial and crucifixion is one terse Phrase: The Disciples fled! But we know where Mary and the other women were. They stood at the foot of the Cross, loyal to the very last. A curious thought about the Last Supper is that it was men only and, after the Supper the conversation turned to the topic of betrayal. Had only women sat around the table, would such a matter have been raised? Idoubt it. In Christ's judgement, constancy is a woman's brightest jewel. He told two.naraWes to honour that very fine quality whích 'two women had in common. Not so long ago, I attended the silver anniversary of a wedding. When the moment came for the husband to say his few words, he rose to his feet, and brought to memory all the wonderful things that had taken place during that first 25 years of wedded bliss. Then he ended with a sudden rush of husky-voiced emotion: "I wouldn't have wanted it one bit different"..As I sat there, I tried to visualize his wife, not so young now, as she was on that glorious d.ay 25 years ago, but still Iovely to behold. She rnarried Dick; she might have married someone else and would be living in the lap of luxury, instead of a little bungalow in a small village. But she did marry Dick! She committed herself to him, and to all the experiences and situations union with him over the past 25 years had brought her. "I wouldn't have wanted it a bit different," I could almost hear her say under her breath. She had not lost anything by marrying Dick, but I know that she had found something: happiness. Not the happiness of some ecstatic moment, but the deeper, more mature happiness which was a distillation of their years together. Their love, like a tree had grown more gracious with the passing of time. I thought as I looked at her, how happy she was, standing by her husband's side, truly, she had found a coin, the bright shining reward of constancy, whose name is woman. 1~ ~L Durham County's Great Family Journal( Established 121 years ago in 1854 Also Incorporating The Bowmanville News The Newcastle Independent The Orono News Second class mail registration number 1561 Produced every Wednesday by THE JAMES PUBLISHING COMPANY LIMITED 62-66 King St. W., Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3K9 *CNA JOHN M.

Social Justice Equated According to Social Standing I feel sure that I can speak on behalf of the mother and four children, whose apartment was gutted by fire in mid-January. The family appreciated very much the help that was extended to them by friends, Central School, Red Cross and The Salvation Army. However, these provisions supplied did not solve their basic problem and need. THEY NEED A HOME. There are in Bowmanville at the present time, vacant houses and apartments. Why are these vacant? Is it because tenants are not available? To the contrary, there are many families who cannot afford to pay the high rents that are Newcastle, Ontario Februarv5 Dear Sir: This is a request that you would print the following letter in your.valuable paper.

Application for Power Station An application has recently been received by the Atomic Energy Control Board relative to the approval or licensing of a nuclear generating station near Bowmanville.n s An application for site approval has been received from Ontario Hydro for a site located on the shore of Lake Ontario, near Bowmanville, in the Town of Newcastle. The plant proposed for this site will be known as Darlington Generating Station "A" and will ne of a type sptamia to tne four CANDU-type 750 MW(e) units currently being con- structed at the Bruce Generat- ing Station on Lake Huron between Kincardine and Port Elgin, Ontario. The Atomic Energy Control Board controls atomic energy in Canada in the interests of health, safety and security. There are three major mile- stones in the licensing of nuclear generating stations - site approval (conditional and final), construction licence and operating licence. The two-stage site approval allows, in the interval between the two approvals, an oppor- tunity for the public to be informed of the proposed siting and to express its views with regard to the health, safety and environmental im- plications thereof. The utilitys application for each approval or licence must be accompanied by extensive reports wbich outline inform- ation required by the Board, including health and safety aspects of the proposed sta- tion. These reports and sup- plementary information are, evaluated b y the Board's staff and the Reactor Safety Advis- ory Committee, the member- ship of which includes repre- sentatives trom appropriate federal, provincial and munic- .al government agencies. he Board's decision on each application is made on the basiscofirecommendations from the Board staff and the Reactor Safety Advisory Com- mittee.
