12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 3, 1976 Junior Typing Champ from Courtice S. S. 17-year-old Liza Morielli of Courtice Secondary School holds the trophy that she won on Thursday, February 19th at'the Ontario Business Education Association's thirtieth annual typing contest held in Lindsay. Miss Morielli stood first in the junior class with a speed of 70.4 words per minute. Bowmanville High School student Marion Vandergaast placed third in the senior category of the contest which drew competitors from 21 schools in District 18. d Formti O CO1n 0f Liais by Doug Taylor Committee of the Whole forwarded a recommendation Monday, Feb. 23rd, to the next session of Council that a liaison committee, regarding the proposed Darlington Nuclear Generating Plant, be formed. Although not the "top brass" of Hydro as requested, by council, two corporate executives attended Monday's meeting to negotiate on Hydro'sbehaîf. In a 'closed-door' session followinig somne two hlours of debate, the cormittee con- ducted formal negotiations with Hydro regarding the make-up and financing of the, committee. Following the "in-camera" discussions, the committee recommended that the "watchdog body" be formed consisting of Mayor Garnet Rickard as chairman, a second, unnamed councillor, an elected representative of the City of Oshawa and appointees from the Regional Works and Planning and Development structures. Providing Monday's council meeting concurs with the committee's recomnmenda- tion, the liaison committee will proceed to formulate terms of reference and estab- lish an advisory body repre- senting organizations such as the agricultural, environ- mental and industrial experts. During the two hour open debate, preceding the in- camera negotiations the Assistant Manager of Hydro's Generating Projects Division advised that Hydro would be able to provide funids for administrative and secre- tarial support for the liaison committee. It remained unclear at that point, however, whether Hydro would be welcomed to sit on the committee, other- wise than when asked. Following the meeting, Coun. Kirk Entwisle explained that the committee-of-the- whole was neither supporting nor opposing the proposed generating station proceeding with the formation of the liaison committee. A majority of the committee appeared strongly in favor of a citizen-oriented, full scale, provincially organized public hearing as a prelude to the town taking an official stand on the plant. Both Coun. Entwisle and Coun. Ivan Hobbs expressed strong concernsduring the meeting about public safety of a nuclear plant. Coun. Hobbs, following re- cent comments by Coun. Ken Lyall, expressed dissatis- faction with the apparent standards that the . Atomic Energy Control Board and other regulatory bodies have set down, allowing such happenings as the present Port Hope situation to occur. Mayor Rickard suggested om mitfee that such concerns should be directed to the federal and ,provincial governments in line. «'ith requesting tbe holding of public hearings. The Mayor feels that the local council should be con- taining themselves to dealing with municipally related sub- jects and leaving the highly technical data to those of the higher governments who understand it. The recommendation to proceed with the committee formation comes despite recent annoupcement by Hydro that the Darlington Proposal bas been delayed, both council and Hydro feeling the delay conveniently pro- vides more time to inform the publie and conduct such studies as the liaison com- mittee will deal with. Fearful of Forecast Becom ing In the opinion of at least two Newcastle councillors, resi- dents of the town of Newcastle could take a shafting in the Regional Works Capital Pro- gram Forecast. The opinions arose Monday at the Finance Committee during discussion of a meeting for Tuesday with the Regional Works Staff to receive an explanation of the program as it affects the Town of New- castle. Focusing on what is planned in the forecast for Newcastle Village, Coun. Ken Lyall noted that they have already hung the cost of a new $180,000 well around the necks of the people of the village and now they talk about going to the lake for a water source. He suggested that while a Rea lity Newcastle council comes to a meeting of the mnds, "there is no meeting of the minds at the region." He continued his attack, suggesting that the region does what it wants to do and noted that the Works depart- ment is the strongest in that regard. He suggested that such forecasted projects will, after being accepted by council, become reality and be carried out in order to keep the mighty Regional Works department going. - Coun. Kirk Entwisle was inclined to agree with Coun. Lyall on that point, comment- ing that although it is sup- posed to be a forecast, the technicians will end up want- ing to spend the money on it whether needed or not. Credits Attempts to Cut But Critical of Method Though in some ways fool- ish, credit was given the present government for their attempts to reduce spending by the newly elected leader of the provincial liberal party for Ontario, Dr. Stuart Smith Thursday night. Dr. Smith, speaking to the annual meeting of the Durham East Liberal Association in Oshawa, went on to explain the poor manner in whicb the Conservative government have attempted to make cutbacks. He reminded that prior to the Sept. '75 election, Bob Nixon, then leader of the Liberal party, "went around this province and said to everybody who would listen to him that the government was spending itself into a terrible bole."1 That, he recalled, brought the government to eut the sales tax, a "needed revenue" yet now they say they have to close village hospitals to save a million here and half a million there. He submitted that they "lost tens of millions by reducing the sales tax at a time when they knew very well that they were- going to be short of money." Now, the expectation of Dr. Smith is an increase in the sales tax, "but, of course it's not -an election period. They only reduced the tax during the election period." Dr. Smith also told the Liberal gathering to "watch the taxes go up on property because you're municipality is going to have to pay more since the government bas refused to increase its grants to municipalities." In response to Treasurer Darcy McKeough's insistence that the grants were in- creased, by an amazing eight per cent, Dr. Smith simply comments "that's an in- crease?" He suggested that Mr. McKeough bas a way with words and that if he had been captain of the Titanic he would likely have said "don't hurry were just stopping for ice." Tcx Corner By John Manuel Moving Expenses If you changed your employ- ment during 1975, moved to or from a university, or moved to start a business, your moving expenses could result in a sizeable~deduction from tax- able income in 1975. Your new residence must be at least 25 miles closer to your new employment, business or university than your old residence was, and the ex- penses are deductible only from the income earned in your new location. If you did not have enough income in 1975 to cover the deduction, the balance may be carried forward to 1976. Moves between Canada and other countries are not allow- ed except in the case of a student taking up full-time attendence at approved uni- versities. Allowable expenses include the cost of travelling to your new residence, including travel fares, accommodation and food; the costs of moving your belongings, including storage and insurance; lodging and food up to 15 days near.your new residence; and the costs of cancelling your old lease or selling your old house (legal and realty commission, etc.), but the cost of buying your new home or expenses beyond 15 days near your new home are not included. Of course, the expenses must be reasonable. If you took two weeks to come from Winnipeg to Bowmanville stopping off along the way, it could appear that you were combining business with pleasure and the Department could reduce your claim accordingly. All the slips for these expenses must be sent in with your return, and the approved form for claiming these ex- penses is a Form TIM which can be obtained by telephon- ing ZE04000.

Celebrates First Birthday on March 3rd Calvin College and Seminary WII Present Program Here To Mark 1lOOth Anniversary Calvin College and Semin- ary of Grand Rapids, Mich- igan are celebrating the 100th anniversary of their founding. The Seminary, established on March 15, 1876, was founded to prepare men for the ministry in the Christian Reformed Church, so the church would not be dependent on obtaining trained personnel from Europe to fill the pulpits of the expanding denominatlion. A twenty-eight minute sight- sound program has been produced. The three screen, six projector production, pro- duced professionally, depicts the history of the Seminary and College. The development of the College and its expanding curriculum and campus are colorfully and interestingly shown. The film is not just a chronological, factual story, but rather a narrative of the Sean Richard Brown will be one-year-old on March 3rd, 1976. His brother is Phillip Edward. Parents are Betsy and Richard Brown, Bowmanville. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ashton, R.R. 2, Blackstock and Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Brown, England. w D iredt To Orno Credlit New officers were elected to the Orono District Credit Union last Tuesday night, Feb. 17th, at their 22nd annual dinner meeting held in the Newcastle United Church. Three new directors were elected to replace three who are leaving their positions after serving three years on the credit union board. Angus Loucks, Mel Hartwig and Alan Rabey have been elected to tbree positions on the board of directors. Grace Wigley was elected to a three year term on the supervisory committee and Robert H. Robinson was given a position on the credit committee for three yéars. Treasurer-Manager Leila Werry reported a 10.3 per cent increase in membership over 1974, largely due to a group of salaried nersonnel from St. Marys Cement Company join- ing the union., The assets of the union in 1975 increased 39.6 per cent, a total of $56,527 over the assets of 1974. Loans from the credit union increased 19.7 per cent, the report states, and for 1976 the union has decided to increase the limit on the amount of money that can be borrowed from a member from $3,000 to $5,000. The board of directors voted to amend the bylaw that restricted borrowing above Ontaro Art e Copies TheierSie By Brian Dexter Toronto - Lessons with professional artist-photog- rapher Neil Newton are part of regular school for groups of Grades 5 to 7 children froni surrounding communities. Some of their work is so sophisticated it is being copied by the Art Gallery of Ontario' for display across the pro- vince. Newton, 42, a photographer whose work bas been display- ed in the National Gallery of Canada, started teaching visual communications to a group of Grade 6 students at Enniskillen Public School last year. He borrowed $4,000 worth of high-fidelity sound equipment, got the youngsters cartridge- type cameras costing less than $20 each, and set them to work producing a 15 minute slide show. Touching Portrait The result is a touching portrait of commusity life in Enniskillen, with background music , song and other sound effects. It includes interviews with citizens, sounds of birds chirping, and Christmas Day festivities. For the show, entitled Our Part of the Beaver, 800 color slides were taken by the children, 160 were selected for the presentation. "Thesenchildren are just incredible," Newman said in an interview yesterday. "Even students at Pyerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto were astounded at the high standard of their photog- raphy." Inewton is now runmng a similar course at the M. J. Hobbs Senior Public School here for 36 Grade 7 students. Some were with him last year at the nearby Enniskillen School. Ethnic Background Leanne Haines, 12, said the project at the M. J. Hobbs school is to research ethnic backgrounds of people in surrounding communities. The production is to be called Small World. "It is a lot of fun when we go out on trips to take photo- graphs and do interviews," she said, "and the way it is arranged you really learn ,a lot.' Jacqui Milne, 10, who is in Grade 5 at the Mitchell's Corners school said, "I think it is the best course in the school." Newton said his costs in the experimental program are met by the Ontario Arts Council and the Northumber- land Newcastle Board of Education. "I fell strongly about the value of this as an educational tool," he said. "It's unique in Canada so far as I know. When we did Our Part of the Beaver, 90 per cent of the time I was, not present when the pictures were taken. It is really a mind-bogging experience to see what these students can do." Different Dimension Barbara Munroe, a teacher at the M. J. Hobbs school, said the course run by Newton ties in with her English program and provides student creativ- ity in a different dimension. "Just being exposed to someone like Neil is so different, creating and enrich- ing for students," she added. "And, sometimes he even works with them on week- ends." Newton who lives on a 100-acre farm at Enniskillen, hopes to stage publie present- ations of the three student productions. Our Part of the Beaver, Small World and Our Place, in Bowmanville early in April. 250 Bed Cutback Hospitals in the Region of Durham will lose 250 available beds and reduce staff levels to save $106,336 as the result of 'provincial spending cutbacks announced on Friday, Feb. 27th by the Ministry of Health (MOH). Although Bowmanville Memorial Hospital will not lose any of its 114 beds in the cutbacks, the hospital has been instructed to make staff cutbacks to reduce its $3 million budget by $16,069. MOH officials released the 12-page directive at Queen's Park, outlining the cutback scheme intended to make a $50 million reduction in the 1976 budget still expected to reach an estimated $3.3 billion. In addition to four Durham hospitals affected by the cutbacks, three otber bos- pitals in the area have come under the provincial govern- ment'stcutback scheme r The hospital most affected by the cutbacks, Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, was in- structed to cut 200 beds from its budget and reduce the staff of 840 to 785. Oshawa General Hospital is to reduce their 600 beds by 25, which will trim 1.5 per cent off their budget to make a saving of $275,000 from the budget's total of $M86 million, the Ministry's directive sthes. Whitby's Dr. Joseph 0. Ruddy Hospital is cutting 25 beds from their total of 89 beds, saving an estimated $223,850 or nine per cent of the 1976 budget of $2.6 million. Port Perry 's Community Memorial Hospital and the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital have been instructed to make staff cutbacks although no cutback in beds was ordered at either hospital. The Port Perry Memorial Hospital will reduce staff to save an estimated $94,465 from its $1.2 million budget for 1976. The Uxbridge Hospital is to reduce staff to make a saving of $11,871. Cobourg's hospital is losing 24 of its 120 beds for an estimated saving of $219,289 from a $3.5 million budget. Port Hope and District Hospital is expected to bring the greatest saving to the province, with 25 beds being dropped from their 68 bed total, saving $233,850. Lt is still uncertain whether hospitals instructed to make cutbacks in staff will find other methods for reducing their budgets or if they will be forced to make staff layoffs. ected' Union $3,000 in an effort to encourage more people to join the union's present membership of 400. One member of the credit union told the dinner meeting gathering that people lost interest in joining the union after they were told the old borrowing limit. Durham East NDP MPP Doug Moffatt was to be the guest speaker at the dinner meeting, but at the last minute he was called to a special meeting in Port Hope. In his place, Toronto Lake- shore NDP MPP Patrick Lawlor spoke to the members and guests of the credit union. Besides the unexpected guest speaker, another of the evening's surprises was the presentation of awards to Russell Osborne and Charles Gilkes for their service to the credit union for 21 years.1 Their wives were also present- ed with flowers for the occasion. conflicts, struggles, and con- cerns that these institutions endured during the decades when national, international, and church related problems were a part of everyone's thinking. The production, "Where is Calvin?" will trace the development of the institu- tions through their first 100 years. The program will be presented locally on Saturday, March 6, at 8 p.m. in Maranatha Christian Reform- ed Church of Bowmanville. The chairman in charge of local arrangements is Rev. Guy Corvers. Musical talent from the College will contribute to the program which will last an hour and fifteen minutes.

Sometimes it'i hard to tel the difference. The beauty of the Bug is that the basic design is so good, if's hardly changed in years. That's why we'd be happy to show you one of our used Bugs. On the car lot they ail Iook gleaming and new. That's because we recondition them, inside ard out, so they're almost as good as new. Then we guarantee them.
