2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 12. 1975 Rickard Asks CFrom Page One) area, Allan McPhail, said the committee had told all of the architects during the previous interview "we were concerned with having an efficient office unit", and, "we made it clear we were not interestedin a Taj Mahal." Coun. Rickard persuaded the committee to have the architects make their presen- tations directly to a council session rather than "have them come back before the comimittee and we make a recommendation that council rejects again." The committee had previ- ously, on Oct 23, interviewed six architects and sent a recommendation forward to the Oct. 29 meeting of Regio- nal Council. Council however rejected the reconmendation to accept one firm's proposai to stud due to the inability of the committee to present cost figures. In support of the idea of having the architects corne directly before a council who can thereby arrive at their own recommendation, Coun. Keith Ross of Oshawa said he felt the committee would be "shooting arrows in the air" if thev tried to makehanother recomm endation without di- rect ion from council. Coun. Ross added he was -kind of miffed" about the situation and said "as far as lm concerned this can go on and on if they (council) don't tell us what they want." The main concern council found with the Oct. 23 recom- mendation from the commit- tee was the "vague" indica- tion of cost estimates. The architecturaltfire re- commended at that time, had offered to undertake the study on the basis of its "time card Costs plus 150 per cent." To that idea Coun. Jack Anderson of Pickering agreed with council and bld the management committee the estimate was "pretty well opened the way it is here." The1three firms to be invited to a pear before council are Neish, Owen, Rowland and Roy of Toronto; Marani, Rounthwaite and Dick, also of Toronto; and Beddal, Liang, Owen, Robertson, Sukla and Wilcox, a consortium of Dur- ham architects. Coun. Rickard concluded his remarks on the matter, noting that in this way the architects could make their submissions and then it's up to council to ask the questions and make its own recommendations.'

As to the availability of taxis during the night, Mr. Vander- ende explainéd that a person calling for one will get a necorded message givirig the number of the driver on duty that night. The committee then con- fronted the taxi operator with the facts of a' letter from a police officer reorting on an Oshawa man w ho had called the number to get a taxi to take him home and had gotten no answer at all. The only explanation Mr. Vanderende could offer was that the answering machine N Gouge Minitrix Electric Train Set, INCLUDES: Diesel Locomotive Caboose - 3 Cars Complete with realistic track ALL FOR THE LOW PRICE of $30o Hurry!

The parking problem of taxi units in meter zones in the downtown area, as complain- ed of by the Chamber of Commerce, has of course been resolved as Mr. -Vanderende explained he is now renting space at the Sunoco station across from the IGA store to park the vehicles while wait- ing for calls. Asked if he had any request of council, Mr. Vanderende suggested some consideration to allocating a specific area or areas for taxi stand purposes. He advised that he bas been in the taxi business in various communities in the past and finds Bowmanville to be the only one which does not have such specified locations. As far as the possibility of merchants objecting to such parking areas taking up customer space, Mr. Vander- ende reminded that the taxis bring considerable business to the downtown area and in that way are a benefit to the merchants. In that light he felt the taxi stand areas, if granted, should be somewhat more centrally located in the core banking and bisiness area, than that of his present space at the Sunoco Station. Committee members how- ever suggested that they be kept off the main street itself, preferring the side streets. Clerk Joe McIlroy again rerninded that the former operator of the taxis had space a llocated on Division Street across from the Castle Hotel as a taxi stand, but also noted that he paid for the space and thereby terminated use of it when he did not wish to pay for it any longer. The committee arrived at no resolution on the matter and it will have to be considered further. Tink Elected (From Page One) 19th. This meeting will be a Christmas social evening.

Here are a few last minute tips for your lawns cane. Keep mowing your lawn and the lastcut before winter cut at two inches. Early in the month of November you can stili reseed some bare spots in your lawn. this most likely won't sprout 'tili spring. It is far better to rake you leaves in the fall as in the spring they are wet and mated, and hard °u remove from lawn areas such as ditches and around trees and shrubs. Leaves make a great compost heap, put the tP good use as a fertilizer. Another gardening tip par- ticularly for rose fans, is to plant your roses in the fall. They seem to harden off much better. Holes should be dug deep and wide enough, 10 let roots spread freely. Hill your roses for winter protection.

The Shackelton vehicle then went out of control, over the north curb, struck a maple tree and went through a fence, coming to rest broadside against a 1973 Dodge Dart parked in the driveway of 6 Loraine Court and owned by David Allan Shaw. The collision which left the Shackelton vehicle with $800 damage, the Shaw vehicle with $1,200 and $50 damage to the tree, fence and grass has brought a charge of careless driving against Shackelton. Both vehicles were hauled away by Brock's towing. Rotary Speaker y rd (From Page One) ually be deficient in food production and will have to depend on other provinces and countries to feed its citizens in the next few years. If this comes to pass, Mr. Taylor noted, 'Danish and Australian farmers will have no obligations to fi our needs." He quoted figures that showed Ontario's percentage sf agricultura lproduction in Canada decreasing in several areas such as pork, eggs, poultry, beef cow production and slaughter. During the period 1960-64, for example, Ontario pro- duced 35 per cent of the Canadian total in pork. Figures for 1970-74 show that Ontario's contribution was down to 30 per cent. And while Ontario food production increased 20 per cent in the past 15 years, it was outstripped 3.5 per cent by.population growth. To add to the dilemma, Mr. Taylor stated that Ontario farmland went out of produc- tion at a rate of 26 acres per hour during the period from 1966-71, and he said that the trend has likely accelerated. By 1985, the Federation predicts that Ontario will be short 441,000 head of beef, 1,000,000 pounds of milk and 24,000,000 poultry for slaugh- ter. In the face of this disturbing spectre, the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture, supported by a membership of 25,000 farmers, has outlined several proposals which will attempt to reverse these trends and restore confidence to farmers. The first that Mr. Taylor described is called the Agri- cultural Land Use Policy. 'Its general aims areto preserve as much high class agricul- tùral land as possible and to assure an adequate supply of high quality food 'now and in the future without undue reliance on imports.' The ioolicy includes farm Set PolIcy for Grant Paym e,nts The result of a request from the Newcastle Village Public Library Board for funds to be allotted in January brought decision of the Finance Com- mittee Monday to concur with a suggestion of Treasurer Joe Descent, that a policy be set up with respect to the pay- ment of all grants. The policy, as recom- mended by Mr. Descent, would comply with the income stabilization pro- grarns to protect and improve the income of farmers. Mr. Taylor described several reasons why a farm income protection act is needed. First, it would ensure that "farming is financially viable by guaranteeing that farm income would at least equal a realistic cost of production established for each commodity involved in a plan." The act would also ensure farmers that the risks taken in farming would be shared by the rest of society. "Rapidly increasing input costs, coupled with fallng commodity prices, underline the necessity for risk sharing ir farmers are to continue producing. 'Farmers are prepared to produce all the food possible wit availableresources and to market their productinn in the most efficient manner possible, but they must have assurance of a fair return for their efforts." The Federation recom- mends that provincial.legisla- tion be passed to establish income protection plans for each separate farm com- modity. Through the plan, a fundfor each commodity would be set up to pay, in times of stress, the short-fall between the average market price and a negotiated product price established between the O.F.A. and the government. These funds will have a cushioning effect similar to that provided by the beef-cow- calf stabilization program implemented by the govern- ment last July. Mr. Taylor emphasized that the plan does not guarantee a minimum income for farmers--they will still have to be efficient managers. "A protection plan will build the confidence of farmers so that they can concentrate on improviný quality and efficiency. He noted that the health of the agricultural sector affects more than just farmers; a third of Canada's population is either directly or-indirectly involved in food and fibre production. Such support industries as railways, truck transport and farm machin- ery al depend to some extent on the health of the farm economy. If agriculture is depressed, other sectors will feel the repercussions. Library's request that as they will have no surplus of operating funds at the end of the year, 25 per cent of their 1975 budget be granted in January to carry over until the '76 budget is set. The adoption of such a policy, as agreed to by the committee, would see organi- zations like the library receive cheques in January for 25 per cent of the previous year's budget, a similar cheque for 25 er cent of the previous udget on March 1. In July, following the budget being set, a cheque would be issued for one half of the remainder of the new budget and final cheque forbthe balance on October 1. By this procedure, such Boards and Commissions, which cannot borrow funds on their own account and must t herefone look t0 the Town for operatmiig funds, would have sufficient operating funds on hand at all times.
