Courtice South Principal Elected to OPSMTF Exec. The annual assembly of the Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Federation voted a budget of $38,000 for political education today. However, delegates made clear that they don't want to become involved as a provin- cial body in elections. They were discussing the work of their Special Committee for Ongo*ng Political Education. (SCOPE) "The committee's first pri- ority should be developing communication between staffs and boards," said President Neil Davis. "It should be out of the electoral ball game." First Vice- president Ron Stephen of Windsor said SCOPE has shifted its approach properly to involvement between staffs and boards. A motion to disband SCOPE was defeated overwhelming- ly. It was introduced by Gary Barton of Prescott who said his district doesn't want their Federation telling them how to vote. The $38,000 will be spent on such items as issuing a Local School Board Strate- gies Manual, training sessions and grants to local districts. Later, Mr. Davis, of Peel County, was re-elected presi- dent. Mr. Davis defeated Mr. deserve to pay less for car and fire insurance They do at Abstainers'.

Hydro Bid Approved The bid by Ontario Hydro to carry out expropriation of 1,200 acres for the proposed Darlington nuclear generating station has been granted approval by Provincial Ener- gy Minister Dennis Timbrell. Payment of $200 to the Town of Newcastle for costs in- curred during the expropria- tion hearings bas also been approved by Mr. Timbrell. A report by Harold Gold- kind, nquiry officer of a recent inquiry into the Dar- lington expropriation, is cited by Mr. Timbrell as the basis for his approval. Ontario Hydro, havng com- menced acquiring the lands following 1971 approval by the former Darlingtîon Township council, already owned all but 15 acres at the time of the hearings. Mr. Goldkind ruled the expropriation as "fair, sound and reasonable, necessary in achievement of the objectives of the expropriating author- ity." Mr. Timbrell further noted in his decision that since the maximum available to the town under the act is $200 that Ontario Hydro voluntarily pay the town an additional $40.

Photos by Liz Armstrong Just Another Fireman Or Chief's Assistant The matter of hiring a new fireman which arose from a recommendation of the Per- sonnel Committee Chairman at Monday afternoon's session of Newcastle Town Council in the Newcastle Village Com- munity Hall brought inquiry from Councillor Ken Lyall. Councillor Lyall was ques- tioning the recommendation of the personnel committee to hire a particular individual on the basis that he believed the reason for hiring an additional full time employee of the fire department was to acquire one who could act as an assistant to Chief Hayman in his absence. Mr. Lyall suggested that the town already bas sufficient firemen and was not in need of another simply as a full time fireman. Councillor Lyall was ap- parently concerned with the trend of the committee's recommendation which did not specify the new employee specifically as an assistant to the chief but merely as a regular fireman. Councillor Don Allin how- ever voiced the opinion that the chief's iequest was for another full time fireman to be hired, which is what the committee bas done. There was assurance given to council that although the new man is simply referred to as a fireman, bis qualifica- ations are such that he could provide much assistance to Chief Hayman and relieve him of the heavy workload which bas apparently kept him from having a vacation for a lengthy period. However, Councillor Lyall moved that the adoption of the personnel committee recom- mendation be tabled until he could refer back in his notes, and with Chief Hayman as to what specifically was request- ed. Although Mr. Lyall's motion received a seconder it was lost on the vote, he being the only one voting in favor. Should Consider Programs F Having adjourned early Monda yevening following a full a ternoon of business dealing mainly with deputa- tions, Newcastle counci re- sumed session Tuesday even- ing in Bowmanville to deal with some 60 pieces of correspondence. Among the items was one from Leo Bernier, Minister of Natural Resources advising council of an experimental program designe to help solve some of the more pressing public access prob- ems on t e Great Lakes. An attempt by council to merely receive the item for inforntion brought objection from councillor Ken Lyall who suggested that "in our year and a half in the Region, we haven't gotten around to setting up a legislative com- mittee or whatever for refer- ral of such material and preparation of a report or recommendation on it." Mr. Lyall believes that this is resulting in groups missing out on a lot of financiali assistance opportunities. Mr. Lyall was stirred in the same direction when council again attempted an accep- tance for information of cor- respondence from Marshall, Macklin, Monaghan regarding the Ontario Housing Program which makes funds from $5,000 to $30,000 available to municipalities for the perfor- mance of appropriate studies PIANO AND THEORY TIME - beginning Sept. 15, 1975 PLACE - studio in Orono METHOD - private instruction following the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto.

The matter became entang- led in some political nit- Dickini however, when coun- cillor Kirk Entwisle recalled Mr. Lyall's previous dissatis- faction with such programs which like LIP and NIP often make funds available for somewhat unworthy projects. Mr. Entwisle, following reading by Clerk Joe McIlroy of a letter from one citizen suggesting that council com- ply with the program as they, owning a home of some 100 years old, had spent all they could afford on repairs to it, advised that he had a similar home and had saved the funds for needed maintenance. Councillor Lyall then sug- gested Mr. Entwisle was "speaking as a superior Lib- eral" but that there are many not of his financial stature who can't afford it as well and stated his feelings that it should be examined further. Councillor Ivan Hobbs brought an end to discussion of the matter when he noted "your worship, if I thought it would save time I would be willing to go along with almost anything," and moved an amendment to the motion for receipt as information that the party requesting council's concurrence with the program be invited to attend a meeting of council. Both the motion and the amendment carried. OBITUARY ARNOLD V. DAMANT An employee of Goodyear Canada for 32 years, ArnoidV.

The 10-day camp, which drew over 1,000 Scouts and Girl Scouts with registration reported to have reached 1,012 plus leaders by the second day, August 15. The camp, held over once every five years, provides programs that provide the young Hungarian members of the Scouting movement a- chieve a high proficiency in their Scouting skills while expanding their understan- ding of Hungarian folklore. Special ceremonies each day paid recognition to Hun- garian historical figures cre- dited with having made out- standing contributions to Christianity. The site of the camp this year, an area more than 100 acres, could be found on the east side of the first north- south road running between the third and fourth lines of Clarke Township, east of Highway 35-115. It was explained to the Statesman reporter on a tour of the camp last Wednesday afternoon that the large area allowed for adequate separa- tion of the boys, girls, leader and those under 10 years into four soecified areas.$ Wednesday other things, "numbers war reenactmentc between the H the Turks with: older boys ai part.

The Ontario government has silenced its employees. Our job is to provide services to the public. We work in colleges, hospitals and offices. We drive snow-plows, inspect your food and protect your environmental rights. The irony is that we have few rights ourselves. Many of us feet we are being used by the government. Take for example the last budget. The government attempted to woo your vote by cutting back on the civil service. This will save taxpayers a fifth of a cent on their tax dollar. That isn't even a pittance when you consider that the budget calls for over $10 -billion of your money. You see, to the government we are political pawns. And that's not good. People who work with retarded children, the sick and the infirm, those who run our correctional centres and inspect our food have been cut back. Public services will suffer. But the government won't let us take part in the democratic process to bring about change. For us that is illegal. We can't canvass for a candidate. We can't speak or write publicly on any party's platform. We can't talk about the real issues. We have fewer civil rights than other citizens. All we want is equality. And that won't cost taxpayers a cent. We hope that you will votefor civil rights... equal rights for everyone. We only want to be heard.
