Mrs. De Jong in well chosen words introduced Mrs. Grant n Thompson who had prepared ban excellent resume of the 0 history duing the years. sQuote: "Exactly 70 years ago to-day, February 6, 1906, Nestieton Women s Institute was farmed with 16 local ladies in attendance. Farm -women met in homes, walked eor came by horse and buggy. s They discussed their work sbread, butter-making, pick- eling and canning. Thbe only eother gatheming for women rwas at church. There was no eSouth Nestieton - just tbree efarm homes until t he C.P.R. d was put through in 1908. By ýt 1924 the membership had grown ta 54. They must bave tmet in the hall ta accommo- edate that number." r Pictures of early meetings are in the Tweedsmuir History Book. Duing the flu pdemie in 198e.I members were grand neighbaurs taking over in families where al were ostricken. e In the early 1920's the rInstitute ladies renovated the ýt Forrester's Hall, paid for i paint, stage curtains, baif the 0cost of chairs, built pantry and d furnisbed it witb dlishes and kitchen needs, built sanitary d accommodation and paid part n an two organs and two pianos.

As we took this quick look at the work done by Nestleton Women's Institute during the ast 70 years we are proud to have been a part of this worthwhile organization whose motto is for "Home and Country." Miss Gail Malcolm sang "In An Old Dutch Garden" as a tribute to the president Mrs. DeJong and the Secretary, Mrs. Wygerde, who are new Canadians (Dutch). The president introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Ken Hudson (Plain Clothes Police- man) who is no stranger to Cartwright. He, his wife and three children live south of Nestleton. In 1973 he was "Policeman of the Year". At present his work is with juveniles whom he helps to re-habilitate. Constable Hud- son passed out pamphlets giving information where to seek assistance. He told of his many contacts that he had with young people. One youth he talked with for six hours. Following this interesting and informative talk, a question and answer period proved most enlightemng. Mrs. HarryM cLaughlin Convenor of Family and Consumer Affairs extended the appreciation to Mrs. Thompson and to Plain Clothesman Hudson. Miss Gail Malcolm fayoured us with another delightful solo, "It is No Secret.". Mrs. Carl Adams extended the appreciation for the 4-H Leaders. Mr. Adams express- ed the thanks of the fathers and Mayor Lawrence Mal- colm voiced the thanks of the grandfathers. Mrs. DeJong expressed her gratitude to all who contri- buted to a memorable occa- sion. The singing of "O Canada" concluded another chapter in the history of Nestleton Women's Institute. Letter To Editor Dear Editor: According to the Regional Official Plan and the Provin- cial Government, develop- ment in the Town of Newcastle is inevitable. A population in- crease of some 21U00 has been forecast in the Bowmanville area over the next twenty years. Where will these homes be built? The Milani firmrecent- ly proposed to accommodate 8-10,000 of these newcomers on their lands to the west of Martin Road (Bowmanville West) and accordingly, they offered to pay the mumcipal- ity three million dollars to get inmediate approval. Why make such an offer? The two part answer is simple, A) Time is money (interest rates are high), and B) They have to make their plan attractive to the Municipality. Obviously, it is better to pay directly to the Municipality the interest they.would other- wise pay on their mortgages and fmancing éosts. Milani also offered to help encourage balanced resi- dential and indu-,trial assess- ment by offering to develop industrial land at a ratio of three acres of industrial to nine of residential, this land to be offered to potential in- dustry at COST. Why should the Milani proposal be given full con- sideration? What other de- vloper bas offered taassist with job opportunities for the people who live in his bouses? The proposal is unique and clearly lits the theory of the Regional Official Plan that assistance for employment will be essential. It is agreed that phased growth is necessary to give the community a chance to make adjustments. It is clear that major services such as sewage disposal plants and water supply pipes should be_ strategically located and over- sized, to avoid costly unknown addition in the future. At this point in time it is understoodthat the Regional Engineers (with assistance from others) are studying the overall situation and there are definite indications that the servicing of Bowmanville West could be desirable and practical. Some may ask what type of homes and industrial park would be built? Such matters are entirely within the legal jurisdiction of the Municipal- ity which can control even such things as landscaping architecture, open space or park, through subdivision agreements, zoning and build- ing by-laws and other plan- ning techniques. During the debate on the Milani offer, the Mayor claim- ed that the Town of Newcastle will consider increasing its lot levies on new development and so collect more than $3,000,000.00. How much in- crease does he have in mind in this year of 'constraint'? Could it be from the present $600.00 to $1,000.00 or even $2,000.00? Will not such an increase be levied against both the big developer and the existing citizen severing one lot? To accept a lump sum from Milani creates no general precedent and single sever- ence applicants and the two or three houses a year builder would get a break by remain- ing on the old basis of $600.00 per lot. There was talk of the Council remaining 'above re- proach' and to 'the integrity of council already being brand- ed' for considering such an offer . .. With respect, this is utter nonsense. The offer was made publicly to the Municipality and not to any individual -and was dis- cussed publicly. If this is the attitude of council are they equipped for the tough bargainmng ahead with Ontario Hydro over the nuclear station. Surely, the only proper way to negotiate matters as im- portant to the citizens of Newcastle as the Milani offer or Hydro developments is- in the open without causing the six gentlemen councillors to hide behind their "holier than thou" cassocks, stamped in- tegrity. Would it nor have been preferable to delay any final decision on Milani's offer until the pendihg engineering and planning studies were com- plete, which course of action incidentally was concurred in by the town planner. One thing is certain, we are going to get development, the Province of Ontario bas said so. Why not have some of it at least to our financial advan- tage? The opportunity of a three million dollar bonus and industrial land at cost is probably gone forever. To cioud the reai issue, which is simple good business, with vague (unprofessionàl) refer- ences to integrity is to avoid the dollar practicalities of planning. If something improper was suggested; what-was it? Let's be honest and admit what really happened was that bumbling lost us an opportun- ity to replenish the municipal purse. Concerned Citizen'B' ELIZABETH VILLE Church services were held as usual. Rev. Bartlett had the Sacrament of Baptism and little Cheryl Susan Knox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Knox was ·christened. Rev. Bartlett spoke on "How Much do You Care?" The choir sang an anthem. A fair crowd considering the heavy roads. On Tuesday afternoon the Women's Institute met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. McAllister. Mrs. R. Beatty presided in the absence of the president. The roll call was, 'An idea to keep food prices down." Motto Happiness in the housewife who sees rain- bows and not dishes in soap suds. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Our trip to Golden Plough Lodge was discussed. Quilt blocks were given out for another quilt. Mrs. H. Muldrew was the convenor and demonstrated hot cross bun making. Miss Mary Tompkns, our home economist spoke on food values and calories. Buns were served as lunch. Not a big turnout due to the cold weather. Miss Diane Beatty, Toronto, was home over the weekend. Several attended the Bewd- ley races and sports, events over the weekend. Mrs. B. Wheeler, resident of our United Church Women's organization and Mrs. K. Trew, the secretary, attended the rally held at Warkworth on Wednesday. Three ladies from the Garden Hill area also attended. Mr. Gordon Morris has been in Peterborough hospital for the past week Rev. Ram)it expects to go ta the hospital in the near future for a small operation. No news until March as ours truly, Mr. and Mrs. taats and Mrs. Staats leave for Florida Saturday, for two ELDAD U-C-WR Eldad U.C.W. met at the home of Mrs. Wes Yellowlees a good turn out when the weather was bad. Mrs. Frank Westlake conducted the Wor- ship service, and then Mrs, Harvey Yellowlees, pres., .asked Mrs. Francis Johnston1 secretary-treasurer, for the minutes and treasurers re- port. Pastor Paul Erb then took over with the topic "China". Our meeting closed with a lovely lunch served by the hostess and Mrs. Har Knox.
