Three Candidates Exude Confidence at B.H.S. Meeting ecision ests th Electors This morning's daily papers are filled with election opinions by the editors and columnists, but no advertising from parties or candidates. Today's weeklies will also appear with editorial opinions and predictions of the outcome tomorrow in the provincial election that appears up to now to be what would be termed a cliff- hanger, with no definite trend in sight. lI seems fitting somehow that on tne day of an important election, the peer of Canadian politicians. the Rt. Hon. John D. Diefenbaker, should be celebrating his 80th birthday. And in this morning's Sun, former Liberal cabinet minister, Paul Hellyer has a scathing article commenting on the recent resignation of federal Finance Minister Hon. John Turner, in which he blames that resignation on Prime Minister Trudeau, and his inner clique. In the same edition, the results of the provincial election in Newfoundland show the Premier Frank Moores' Conservatives returned to power, with former Premier Joey Smallwood who ran on a reform Liberal ticket, being elected. This day and its news are certainly filled with political overtones. .Turn to Page Two) . ..... . .... Voume 121 15c Per Copy BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17,1975 26 Pages Number 38 The three political candidates in the top picture, Liberal Kirk Entwisle, lef t, New Democrat Doug Moffatt, centre, and Dr. Charlie MeIlveen, right, showed little evidence of strain or weariness at the Kiwanis sponsored All-Candidates meeting on Monday at B.H.S. Unfortunately, Socred candidate Ray Beacock, in the photo below, was not present. The political fate of all four will be decided tomorrow when electors decide who they want to represent them in the Ontario Legislature. Conservation Authority Proposes 91 Acre Park For Bowmanville Creek by Doug Taylor Resulting from discussion at Newcastle Council Monday, Sept. 15, with General Mana- ger of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Author- ity Bryan Howard, the Conser- vation Authority is to proceed with negotiations with prop- erty owners for acquisition of some 72 acres of land in the Bowmanville Creek area. The Authority will however, merely be negotiating the possible purchase of the land and the price for it with the respective owners and willnot proceed with any purchases until reporting back to council on their findings. The proposai as presented to Council by Mr. Howard is for the development of open space, passive recreational area along the Bowmanville Creek flood plain. However, the situation of financial status of the Author- ity bas brought them to suggest that the town would maintain ownership of the 19 odd acres they already own along the creek since there would be no logical point in spending public funds of th-- (Turn to Page Two) Audience Questions Three Aborti With election da row Durham East made a final a presenting their pli the residents of Bo at an all CandidatE at Bowmanville Hi The abortion issu WILL DISCUSS O PLAN A meeting will be p.m. Monday, S 22nd, at Bowmanv School to present choices for futur tion growth and la the region.

Though fewer than 20 people attended, cast members Delroy Lindo, Catherine Hannon, Dinny Sweeney and Janice Green kept the audience well entertained. The performance, sponsored by the Peel, Durham and York Public Libraries and the Central Ontario Regional Library System, was made possible through a grant from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. Photo by Liz Armstrong by Liz Armstrong The four candidates contest- ing the Durham East seat in tomorrow's provincial elec- tion were on hand last Wednesday at Clarke High School to review the issues of the campaign and answer questions posed by a panel of students. A second All Candi- date meeting was held Mon- day at Bowmanville High School, sponsored by Bow- manville Kîwanis Club. Mr. PIE-S ONLY ONE WINNER - Tomorrow, Election Day, will tell the tale and we are already feeling sympathy for those losing candidates and their many supporters who have worked hard for the past few weeks and spent a good deal of money in the process. But, there can be only one winner. The polls are open on Thursday from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. so make certain you do your part by getting out to vote. It's anybody's ball game up to now. Until they start counting those ballots there's no accurate way of predicting the results, so, they are all winners. The axe falls later in the evening. NEED EQUIPMENT - The recently formed Boys-Girls Club here is setting up headquarters in the old Cream of Barley Mill off Simpson Ave. and would be delighted if help could be ob- tained in providing equipment such as pool tables, ping pong tables, chairs, tables, lamps, record player, table games, a television, etc. Anyone who would like to donate or loan such articles should phone 623-3138 during business hours. BIG WEEK - Next week will start off on a busy track. Members of the press will have an opportunity to preview the 1976 General Motors cars at Camp Samac, in North Oshawa on Monday morning, followed by a tour of GM's exhibits at the World Plowing Match. Then, on Tuesday afternoon, Prime Minister Trudeau will officially open the Plowing Match to begin a hectic five day schedule at that international showplace. Both events should be most interesting. REMINDER - For those who may have mis- sed the announcement last week, the deadline for Classified Advertising has been set back to Tuesday noon instead of 4:30. The situation worked well this week, enabling us to have those pages made up ready for the camera much earlier than usual. Late classifieds will still be accepted but may not appear in their re- gular spots. Instead, a column labelled Late Classified may be included on another page. CHANGE MINDS - We'd hate to think that Uxbridge council's eagerness to have that contro- versial penitentiary reception centre in that local- ity had anything to do with Scugog council revers- ing its earlier decision. In July, they voted against the proposal 4-3. After rescinding that motion the following week, they approved having the penitentiary centre in the township by a vote of 5-2 on Monday. Now, it's up to the 'pen' service boys to decide where they want it, Scugog or Uxbridge. NIGHT CLASSES - If you will read through this edition, you'll find several advertisements outlining night classes on a wide variety of courses in high schools throughout the area. Durham College also has many interesting and educational opportunities available for expand- ing your education and skills. Why waste your evenings sitting in front of the television? Learn how to do something new and exciting. Beacock did not attend. Each of the speakers was given five minutes at the beginning of the meeting to state why he was running in the election. (Turn to Page Two) NEW MOBILE HOME PARK The Region's Clerk Office has informed the Town of Newcastle that an applica- tion has been made for a Mobile Home Park in a sect- ion of Lot 24, Concession 9 in Darlington Township. The proposal will require an amendment to the Official Plan of the Town before it can be approved. Stop Watch Too Costly one of many small items questioned during a review of August accounts for payment at Monday's Newcastle Coun- cil session, was that of a stop watch for the Fire Depart- ment. Councillor Ken Lyall intro- duced the question because of the price shown for the watch of $30.24 from Hooper's Jewel- lers. Mr. Lyall informed council that the Regional Works department had purchased a stop watch for only $17 and suggested that council should request department heads of the town to use more discre- tion in their purchase of such items. He further suggested that the fire department might have avoided completely the purchase of the stop watch by borrowing one from the Re- creation Department. Peter Vipond, left, and John Kehler are shown here in front of Bowmanville Broadioom, a business they recently opened at 72 King Street West. Peter Vipond and John Kehler recently opened a new store on King Street West called Bowmanville Broad- loom. The partners decided to establish their business here because they wanted a good location in a growing area. The new store already has hundreds of samples of carpet and hard-surface flooring to choose from, and they say that more will be coming in soon. Bowmanville Carpet offers free estimates and personaliz- ed service. Peter and John do all installations themselves and the work is guaranteed for the life of the carpet. In the near future, they hope to obtain a warehouse in the Bowmanville area; they are Fresently buying their stock rom suppliers in Toronto.
