This was dcsigned by Jaguar. An extra sweater top was also shown to make a second look. Gold chains of gold disc earrings and a printed square offered a variety of ways to, wear this. A tunic dmess in sports wear came ncxt. A pattern of horizontal stripes scparated the yellow part from. the white top at the shoulder. A straw duffle bag and bright scarf covering the head drcw much attention. This could be worn with slacks and white leather thong shoes. The beige and red striped bangles on the wrist matched the first pair of shoes. They looked like pep- permint candy. This season suggests safari shirts, blazers and sleevelcss vests. The Commentater, Mrs. Duckworth, then asked us to sec her favourite made of ultra suède, the most popular fabric in the world. It was a gray tunic dress over a slim skirt and a silk shirt having a tic scarf. The pants matched and shoes wcre also gray T strap, hoop carrings and silver chain addcd a flair. This total costume of five pieces would require you to-win a Lottery. The contrast in the next whitec cotton sun dress was really noticeablç. A white crownlcss hat and white accessories made us see summer around the corner. A multi-coloured 2 piece long dress was the favourite of many ladies in our audience. The basic pretty black crepe dress is neyer out of fashion. Worn simply as the model did, with a white gardenia on the shoulder. T-Strap black shoes, and dress worn with or without a belt.,It is always suitable for drcss ýup or informai. The turquoise sari dress ln delicate printed silk chiffon, by designer Tracy Low, delighted us ail. Gold chains and sparkley bag looked like a million dollars. A Burgundy cotton gown for evening had a shawl, pumps and choker, alI to match. This could be worn by any of us, for real dress up party. This was the final costume in the Fashion Show.

Tremneer: On behaîf of the many baud parents in Bowmanville we wish to extcnd to you our sincere appreciation for arranging the ecent Florida trip for the B.H.S. Band. To. say a simple "Thank you" for such a great under- taking seems completely in- adequate and we want you to know that we do understand the tremendous amount of time you must have devoted, outside of youm regular tcach- ing hours, to make this drcamn become the wonderful oppor- tunity that it was. Wc appreciate the exper- ience our young people have shared and which, incidental- ly, they will neyer forget, for a trip such as thîs provides innumerable areas of real lcarning about life and getting aiong with cach other in this, big world of ours. For parents to take their family on such an excursion is one thing, but for one man to asspme the rcsponsibility of a group of sixty-eight teenagers is quite another task and even thougli a fine gmoup of chaperones did accompany thcm, wc aIl know that the final responsibility was yours. We also realize theme must have been some days whcn you thought seriously of can- cclling the whole venture. Thank you for your example of "Stick-to-itivcncss". A word of thanks must go to Mrs. Tremeer, as well, whose patience must surely have been tested many times duning these past months as she kept youm own children on an even keel while you werc 50 busy wîth ours. Wc trust that hem enjoyment of the trip at least helpcd to compensate. Although mapy of the stu- dents,' wcrc carrying 'flu' bugs (if various orders, the lesson of "~The Show must go on" was weli learned and each and evcmy boy and girl involved in thistnip grew immneasurably. Thank you again, Mm. Tre- meer, for your iden, your Sýurvey Sows Hostilt Towrd ReioalGov' An increasing number of people are taking a hostile attitude toward regional government according to Durham East MPP Doug Mof fatt. At an accountability meet- ing at Durham College last week Mr. Moffatt said the resuits of a survey donc by the NDP in his riding show that many people are dissatisfied with the regional form of government. The NDP survey, asking residents of the area if they think that regional govern- ment is working for, their interests, received a large number of negative responses. "For whatever reason it's a resounding "~no" from the overwhelming majority," Mr. Moffatt said. "It's just amazing the sort of hostility there is towards regional government." A primary complaint of the residents surveyed was that they feit the regional govern- ment wasnot concerned with their interests when it was introduced three years ago, he said. Another concern pointed out by the survey, he said was that few people knew how to contact the regional govera- ment when issues that con- cerned them were brought up. "They phone our office in Bowmanville about roads, snow plowing, plugged cul- verts, fences down, taxes, sidewalks and an endless number of other municipal complaints," the MPP said. Although the complaints can be deait with when they are given to the proper depart- ment, he said "it's just a case of people not knowing how regional government functions." The MPP also defended a recommendation by two other local NDP MPP's and himself for separating the townships of Uxbridge, Brock and Scu- gog from the Region of Durham. The recommendation by MPP's Bike Breaugh (Osh- awa), Dr. Charles Godfrey (Durham West) and Mr. Moffatt is part of an Ontario Legisiature private member's bill that would caîl for changes to the act that, originally created the region, Bill 162. Apparently the recom- mendations propose improve- ments for regional services along with a reduction in costs time, your skills and your Winter Break which was used by our y'oung men and-women. We wish you many more such satisfying experiences with Bowmanville H-igh School. Very Sincerely, B. H.S. Band Parents. "Speeding too fast for con- ditions" ail too frequently appears on accident reports. It does flot mean that the driver was exceeding a posted speed' limit but that he was travelling at a speed greater than weather, visi bility or road conditions warranted, states the Ontario Safcty League. Adjust your driving to meet conditions. In main, slcet, fog etc., slow down. for the municîpalities in- volved. Mr. Moffatt told the gather- ing at Durham College that the three MPP's want signif- icant changes to be made in regional government but do not think the whole regional system should be abolished. "If we attempted to brèàg, up the region there would have to be many dollars spent to separate the amalgamated communities and reinstal local municipal govern- mients," he said. "The last thing I want to sec is more moncy wasted."
