Mayor Rickard explained that this could then be folowed up by a budget proposai for 1976 by mid February and hopefuily coun- cil couid therefore reacb a final budget approval by Marcb 31. The Mayor's recommenda- tion is in bis opinion a means of eimnating the laf e date for a IQW setting a budget wbîch occur- red this year. Councillor Ivan Hobbs in- quired of the Mayor wbether bie bad the intention therefore to set the budget with an estimated set of figures for the scbool board since tbey are unlikely to reach such an early decision. Mayor Rickard advised that lie felt the total budget could wait until the scbooi board finish their portion, allowing the rate to De set, but that baving the town budget pre- pared would afford the town the awareness of what its programs for the year are. Councilior Ken Lyaîl was again stirred by the subject to voice concern over the cost of the operation of the Regional Departments. Mn. Lyall believes that the council can control the town but ndvised bis concern lies with those "mad men" at the Region who "think everyday is Christmas" and are spend ing fan f00 mucb money in bis opinion. Mn. Lynhl made reference, in supporting bis concern, to the fact that the region now wants to build a new expnnded headqunrters building. As fan as the school board Mn. Lynîl reported that bie bas written off any attempt f0 control them and added in- comprehension as f0 wby they don't collect their own taxes. Shamw's Bowmanville friends will bie pleased f0 hear that Mrs. Donna Gilbank McAlpine bas accepted aposition witb the New Belleville Cild Develop- ment Centre. Her duties are to commence on Oct. l4th. Mn. Alan Weekes, Toronto spent n .week witb bis mother at his sister's cottage as guests of Mn . and Mrs. Howard Wood and boys. In commenting on bier recent vîsit f0 the British Ishes, Mrs. Weekes mentioned the very strict security precautions taken at most touist attrac- tions. This was very notice- able to Mrs. Weekes as compared f0 lier visit to ngand just two years ago. The British tour guides explain f0 ail tourists that these mensures are taken for their own benefit and in view of the recent bombings there one can easily appreciate their concern for public safe- ty. Det. Sgt. Weekes returned to bis duties with the O.P.P. to prepare for a relocation of bis Don Milis Brancb f0 the downtown headquarters.

IHE.Ir EUROPFAN LOOK I Mesdames Beatrice Camp- bell, Loin Cox, Thelma Lane, Pearl Leach, Celia Mutton, Stella Price, Margaret, Olive and Wilbelmina Wood attend- ed their monthly U.C.W. meeting last week at the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Mac Rabb in Oshawa. The Rabbs have such a splendid view that on a dlean day they can even see the St. Mary's Cernent Plant in Bowmanville. The ladies had a very enjoyable afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bragg, Barry,- Janet, Anna Barber and Isobel Leider attended the Ashton-Skinner wedding on Saturday at Harmony United Church. Misses Linda and Brenda Brock spent- the weekend with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Reg Brock. Mr. Wesley Lane attended Fergus Fair last Sat. f0 assist in the judgîng of the Dairy Princess for that area. This type of experience most as- suredly will bnoaden Wesley's outlook. Apple picking bas started this week and the local orchards make a wonderful picture of productivity. We visited the new semi-dwarf section of Gerrits' orchard on Sunday and were so impres- sed by such a grand crop and the evîdence of much bard work in keeping the trees so uniform and dlean. Martin, Toni and their family are to be congratulated on the produc- tion and distribution of the ever popular apples and a visit to tbeir orchard, cold storage and packing plant is indeed interesting. Several from our area attended the Three-Party meeting at Clarke High School to hear the political candi- dates for our riding. By the time this paper reaches many of its readers, a decision will bave been made, but without a doubt, our three candidates are all able people who possess many admirable qual- ities. In reading the list of candidates for the Toronto ridings, we are impressed by the number of women seeking election. We wonder when Durham East will ever have a woman candidate. Think it over. The annual Bragg family picnic was held at Tistle Valley Park on Sunday in the form of a barbecue. Many of our neigbbors attended the officiai opening of Maple Leaf Milis at Cavan on Saturday and enjoyed a barbecued chicken luncheon. Out of the Mouths of Babes by E. P. Chant I say stick ahl this sugary detente in the furnace and beat up the coals. Let s stop pussy-footing around in our dictionaries findling fourteen letter words tliat sound terrific' but, ini reality, don't mean a flipping thing. Instead of politicians using baîf- of the language to tell us they have nothing to tell us, why flot have tbem say just that? Sure, newspapers would get smaller and hour-long newscasts would sbnink to seven minutes capsules, but the confusion that surrounds politics and politicians would ail but disappear. Just ima- gine how wonderful it would be to have a chue to what the issues were at election time. Just think how fantastic it would be to know what the real problems were facing the country and how each politi- cian stood with regards to solutions to tbem (right now, for instance, can anyone tell me bow Ed Broadbent pro- poses to deal with prison mnmates' uýrest?) However, this proposal of saying what needs to be said can 'be extended even further than politics; it can and should be applied to everyday if e. One of the biggest enemies facing society today is the complex social rules that it bas se p for itseif. Specifi- guy's feelings. When something needs to be said and the only thing that prevents it from being said is the worry that it may be an anti-social statement, it is time to tbrow tact to the wind and shoot your mouth off.
