Councillor Ken Lyall was first to express his view. He stated he wanted council to make up its mmd whether they were for or against the proposed Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. He made a motion that council oppose tthe station right up to the provincial cabinet. The mo- tion was seconded by Council- lor Kirk Entwisle. Councillor Ivan Hobbs opposed the mo- tion stating it was redundant of another motion already passed by council. Councillor Hobbs referred to a motion passed three months ago, stating council would offer no support to the proposal for the Darlington Nuclear Station until the public had been Inlrmed as to what it would mean, and a ublic referen- dum was held. Councillor Hobbs moved that the motion be tabled until the report before them was dealt with. Councillor Hobbs moved that the report from Leighton and Kidd Limited be received for information and that the drafted letter be sent on to the minister. Councillor Kirk Entwisle objected to the language in the draft letter, stating it gave the opinion the town was in favor of the project. He moved an amend- ment that the letter be redrafted expressing the views expressed in a previous motion of council (mentioned above). Councillor Don Allin ques- tioned Councillor Entwisle's interpretation of the language in the letter, claiming that what was stated was a fact. The procedure to construct the station is advanced. Coun- cillor Entwisle referred to this as the "snow job". Because it is advanced doesn't mean we can't oppose it. The amend- ment- was passed and then the resolution. Councillor Lyall moved to lift his motion from the table. The vote on the motion to oppose the generating station at Bowmanvilleright up to the provincial cabinet was confus- ing. During a show of hands for and against, it appeared that only Concillor Entwisle vot-ed for t-be motion. vA recorded vote showed Councillors Anne Cowman, Lyall, and Entwisle in favor of t-be motian. Couacilior Hobbs and Mayor Garnet Rickrd pointed out that they voted ngninst t-be matian because they thought it redundantofa previous motion of council. A inter motion was made t-o have Leigton and Kidd Ltd. make the redraft of the lebter to the minister. - f . , . sacred solos, and providedhlber own accompanîment.

WESLEYVILLE The thrill people in this area received last Friday was surely as great as if thearea had, won thbe million dollar lottery and a great deal more beneficial. Not only is the thneat of a huge garbage dump removed, but also t-e fear that there is no consider- ation for small groups even when their wishes are in the country's best interest. A happy celebration was held at the home of the leader of the H.O.P.E. organization on Sat- urday night to rejoice in the decision of the Ministry of the Environment. With many people away for the holiday weekend there were still 80 or more of the HOPE group present. This past weekend has been one of delight, with bright sunshine, beautiful grass, although it is growing far too quickly on the lawns, more and more birds, including the handsome thrashers, red headed woodpeckers and rose- breasted grosbeaks. The "24th" is the traditional gar- den plantming time and al- though it was ahead of the calendar date, many a garden was seeded over the weekend. The regular meetin of the UCW was held at the horne of Mrs. M. Irwin on Wednesday, May 14th with about 24 ladies present. The meeting was called to order by t-b local president, Mrs. K.

The Vega belonged to Reg Land of 280 King St. E. who had gone into the store to buy some penetrating oil. He was gone five minutes when the fire broke out.

Two articles were sold and the others wait a purchaser in cooler weather. There was opportunity for more discussion of work projects during a cup of tea, and then several went to Port Hope to offer congratulations to a dear old friend on her birthday. Mrs. C. Nichols was one of these and when Mrs. McHolm heard she bad been singing she wanted to hear her too, so there was pleasant music for a happy day. There was a goodly number at Welcome United Church on Sunday morning but many regulars were away for the weekend. It was a refreshing looking building for worship on that bright morning; taste- fully decorated from ceiling to floor, with the handsome beams accented so they show- ed to advantage against the light ceiling, it was a credit to the work of Mr. Stan Matko who did it. The outside of the church was fresh looking also with woodwork painted. The usual lovely flowers added their brigbhtness and Rev. Bartlett-'s message to the children of beauty and joy in our surroundings was empha- sized in his sermon when he spoke on Pentecost. We do not follow up our worship with all the potentialwe might have by allowing God's power to flow through us. Staff and children are plan- ning a hike for next Sunday afternoon, after the church and Sunday school service and are inviting their parents to come along.

VeItri Urges (From Page One) meet with its zoning subcom- mittee to hammer out the details of a zoning bylaw to govern the precedent-setting development, out vir. veitni said following the meeting the committee didn't go far enough to suit him. "It didn't really get me an answer." he said. "I'll be satisfied when I know exactly what I can do." Mr. Veltri urged the com- mittee tohtîake a decision so he could determine if the building can be a paying proposition. One of the main obstacles in Mr. Veltri's path is the height of his ine-storey develop- ment. The original Veltri and Sons Ltd. plan called for placing 54 apartment units atop 25,000 square feet of commercial space on the one-acre site. Haweven, Planning Directon George Howden, in a report to the planning committee, re- commended a "a rule of thumb" to reduce the 87 foot structure. To problems raised about narking facilitie in Mr. How- den 's report, Mr. Veltri said parking is not a real problem, since most meter spaces in the downtown area are not used now. Mr, Veltri's final comment was "I'm better losmng money now rather than building and then goimg broke." by Bill Arnott What looks like an enormous petrified doughnut in the Orono Creek behind the busin- ess section of the village, is in reality a mill stone dating back to 1837. A week ago Monday night, Bob Hancock who found this stone age masterpiece, enlisted the help of some friends and relatives, and removed it from its resting place. This mill stone, reported to weigh in the neighborbood of 1500 pounds, was pulled from the bank of the creek by a tow line and truck from Orono Towing. Mr. Hancock braced the tow line around various trees as it very slowly pulled the granite masterpiece through forest cover and up a steep incline to the truck. The truck then carted the rock up to the Orono Museum Lawn where it presently sits in a horizontal position, for all to see. The stone could well have originated in Scotland, as at that time in history it was quite common to import grinding stones from that country. According to histor- ian Mrs. Helen Schmid of Orono the stone was more than likely used in a grist mill which was located on the stream. Mrs. Schmid points out that Solomon Hooper, who came to Canada on the 'Prime' in 1832 constructed the second grist mill in Clarke Township, locating it on what is now known as the Orono Creek. He started construction of the mill in 1835 and it was opened for business in May of 1837. The first grist mill to open in Clarke Township was located one mile east of Newcastle at what is now known as Honey Hollow. In the summer of 1845, Thomas Hooper immigrated to Orono and worked with his uncle Solomon. In December of 1845, Solomon was killed in the mill when he became entangled with -some of the machinery and was crushed to death. The mill operated under Thomas Hooper until 1848 when it was sold to Andrew Nichol and later in 1853 to J. L. NESTLETON Friends are pleased that Mrs. W.G.

On Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dayes had a most enjoyable trip to Niagara Falls. The tulips, the magnolia trees and fruit trees were in full bloom - truly a spectacu- lar colour co-ordination. On Sunday morning they attend- ed the worship service in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. This is a beautiful, old, white frame building in immaculate condition. It was a hist-oric site in 1875 and dates back to 1831. The original building was built in 1775 but was destroyed during the war of 1812. The interior is rather unique with many steps lead- ing to the pulpit. The seats are enclosed by doors. Every one was most gracious and friend- ly showing a true community spirit and exemplifying the pioneer hospitality. The dance on Saturday night sponsored by the Nestleton Recreation Club was quite successful. G. Beare Merry- makers, as usual, provided excellent music. Mr. and Mrs. David Forsyth and Miss Laura Hutchinson, Peterborough visited for Sun- day evening-dinner with Mr.a and Mrs. Harry McLaughlin. The month of May is rather late to be talking of maple syrup, but Mr. and Mrs. Norman Mairs who usually obtain their supply from friends at Sundridge have been informed that none is available this year - quite a disappointment for those who were depending on it. Springwater Trailer Park Mr. and Mrs. Balfour Moore, who own and operate Sringwater Trailer Park, officially opened the Park on Friday, May 16. This is the second year of operation and is again on its way for a successful summer. Several new customers have booked for the season. It is a beautiful park, in a lovely setting with a spring fed pond providing unpolluted entertainment for the aquatic enthusiast. Situa- ted on 7A Highway about one mile east of Nestleton village it is easily accessible and many new friends have been made during the past year. Traffic! Traffic! From Friday afternoon and all night long holidavers were escaping city dwelling. Sun- day afternoon and most of the night, Monday afternoon and evening and all night there was a steady flow of traffic back to the city. Is this relaxation?-but fresh air and beautiful countryside contin- ues to beckon. Litterbugs so otten you are admonished to "Don't be alitterbug." Yet people, adults and children, continue to carelessly toss debris on road sides and lawns.

In 1857, the building was used by Venner an'l Meyers, cabinet makers, ar 1869 it was used as a flax mii'( To add to its history it becanie a plaster mill in 1872 and finally came to an end in 1882 due to fire. Bob Hancock reports that the other mill stone used with this one is probably still in the creek somewhere. After the stone was removed from its berth, in the creek, he put his hand down in the hole to report that he felt some large timbers. On a personal note, this reporter being an Orono boy remembers spending a lot of time sitting and stepping on that rock, while attempting to fish for trout. However, it had never occurred to me thatit was anything more than a granite stepping stone. An examination of the stone in its new location in front of the Orono Museum, reveals the fashioned grooves and ridges on its bottom side, and drilled holes where some sort of fixture was probably fastened.
