She was told that placing the money in such a fund would, in effect add $20,000 to the budget and raise the miii rate by two thirds of a mil. Her motion to have a special fund was not seconded and was lost. Councillor Cowman said she wanted to see the town council establish a policy on what to do with funds such as the $20,000 grant but she did not walk out because her motion was defeated. Minister (From Page One) says he doesn't consider himself a master church builder, however. In fact, when asked if he thought he could now build a fourth church from scratch, he said "I'd be afraid of the finished product." When the Trull's road church is finished, Mr. Dyer said he wouldn't want to get involved in another building project for a while. Even though he likes his job as a builder, he says he finds the time spent working on the church eats into the time he ought to spend as a pastor. He says pastoral work and church building are difficult when carried on at the same time. The new location of the Oshawa Free Methodist Church is central for the congregationcbecause some members come from New- castle, Hampton, Bowman- ville and Oshawa, Mr. Dyer says. Altogether, there are about 130 families in the church. The new church replaces the old Oshawa Methodist church located on Erie St. in Oshawa. Finishing touches are now being applied to the new church and the dedication service is scheduied for Sun- day, May 30. Donaldl Bastiar, bishop of Canada's freea eth- odist churches will attend.

Mrs. D.C. MacKay of Bowmanville was also a winner as she claimed first prize in the Kinettes Beef draw. Over 125 people at- tended the second annual event to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis. Education (From Page One) greater than $2,400. According t0 the chairman of the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education. Cy Johnson, the AIB accepted the reasoning, behind such affi- davits and allowed higher salary increases. As a result, Mr. Johnson said the Northumberland and Newcastle board is in an "awkward position". He said administrators in surrounding boards are making more money than those in the Northumberland and New- castle jurisdiction. In addi- tion, seyeral senior principals are able to take home bigger salaries than some of their bosses who are classified as administrators. This is because the salaries of the teachers and principals were decided before either wage and price controls or the AIB. An agreement in 1969 placed the salary of the director of education at $47,500 but with the rollbacks ruled by the AIB, last December, the director's salary would be $40,400. Superintedents' salaries have been rolled back from $41,000 to $34,900. With further rollbacks, area superintedents would get $32,400 instead of $37,500. The business administrator would make $30,610 instead of $37,470. The assistant business administrator would make $22,560 rather than $25,350. Secondary school principals with the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education now earn between $34,710 and $32,900. Alliance For Life Group Holds Meeting at Library On Wednesday, May 12th, about 60 local citizens attended a meeting in the library of the recently formed Alliance For Life eroun here. Guest sDeakers were nresent. from left to right, Mrs. I. Venner, Nurses For Life, Ajax; Mrs. Laura MacArthur, Right To Life, Toronto; Mrs. Judy Cole, Birthright, Oshawa. They were welcomed by Mrs. Sylvia Jaspers-Fayer, Alliance For Life, Bowmanville, at right. Mrs. Venner stressed the humanity of the baby from th< time of conception. It is never just a 'blob' of tissue, she said. Her slides showed that ar eight week in-the-uterus baby is well formed and has a heartbeat. She advocated the establish- ment of even better relation- ships between women and the medical profession so that a pregnant person will have the confidence to ask a doctor in advance of becoming his patient, how he stands regard- ing abortion. Mrs. MacArthur felt that abortion is not the sole issue of Right To Life. She suggested that freer abortions would be followed by infanticide as in Japan and after that eutha- nasia. More and more pro-life people are recognizing that these evils are problems of ethics. The trend of society is permissiveness, lack of moral sense with the result that people who stand publicly committed to a moral cause are being laughed at when they should really be given great support. According to Mrs. Cole, motherhood unfortunately has been downgraded since the Women's Lib movement be- gan. On the other hand, the Birthright Organization feels that pregnant women need sympathy and support, both, emotional and practical. And they give that with accom- modation, baby and maternity clothes, in an effort to bring dignity back to pregnant women. Ian Tyson (From Page One) said Wednesday that Mr. Tyson has no grounds on which to complain about the garbage. Councillor Lyall said Bill Hale, the owner of the land near the Tyson farm, had be'en using his property as a dump years before the Tysons bought their tarmn. Councillor Lyall said he felt sorry for Mr. Tyson but he added that Mr. Tyson should not expect to come into a community and complain about things that were already established. Mr. Tyson's letter was referred to the council's planning and development committee. Ken's Men's (From Page One) register, manager Boyd Wool- ley said. It was the second break-m this year for the store, Mr. Woolley said. He said the storeowner, Kenneth Nicks was informed of the theft after returning from Sudbury on Wednesday with the merchandise that was stolen and recovered by police from this year's earlier break- in. The thieves took men's leisure suits, and shirts, corduroy pants and wind- breaker jackets with about $50 in cash that was left in the cash register. Ask AECB (From Page One) dumping purposes. Coun. Kirk Entwisle made a motion to seek an injunction stopping Eldorado Ltd. from increasing the size of the present 35 acre dumping site at Port Granby after he told the council that the site appeared to be outside coun- cil's jurisdiction. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard asked the councillors whether they could make an injunction against the corpor- ation on the basis of a suspicion that Eldorado Ltd. was trying to increase the boundaries of their present dumping site. The motion was then amended to state that the solicitor be asked to seek an injunction against Eldorado Ltd. if any attempt was made to increase the size of their present dumping site. Later in the meeting, coun- cil passed a resolution to send a representative fromu the council to the AECB in Ottawa to request that they do not renew Eldorado Nuclear Ltd.'s permit to dump nuclear aste at the site in Port Grany. Chief in Rare Form at Mas onic Dinner Former Prime Minister Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker waves to the crowd as he arrives at the Polish Veterans Hall in Oshawa on Wednesday. He was flown from Ottawa to be the guest speaker at a special 50th anniversary dinner of the Scottish Rite Club attended by 650 guests. The dinner had been postponed two weeks because Mr. Diefenbaker had been suffering from a bad cold and had lost his voice. The Chief belied his 80 years with a vigorous speech that kept the crowd spellbound. Flood of 'Vis ito-rs To,%ursÉ*â a iP rovincia Pice StatOi UV Ovin tCla PO ce0StatiOn To See Ti Last week was Police Week and many school children in the area took a recess from reading, writing and 'rithme- tic to visit the Newcastle headquarters of the Ontario Provincial Police along with their teachers. -A rough estimate of the number of visitors to the Newcastle detachment runs between 350 and 400, accord- ing to community services officer, Gary Brunton. Most of the visitors were school child- ren. The students had a chance 'heir Equ to look at police cars, a motorcycle, a police boat, cells for holding prisoners, shot guns and a semi-auto- matic rifle. The guns were only looked at from a distance but the children had a chance to go right inside the cells. According to Constable Randy McLeod who showed the children some of the police equipment, the siren on one of the police cars was a big attraction. "They really like the siren," he said. Of course Police Week wasn't just for kids. There weren't as many adults filing N ESTLETON Sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Victor Malcolm on the sudden death of her brother, Donald Neil Kerr, on Saturday.

However, Councillor Ken Lyall the chairman of the finance committee, said the people will still "look at the hottom figure and say their taxes are up." Taking into account the taxes levied by the region and the board of education, that bottom figure could be an average of 25 per cent higher this year., Preliminary mill rates show that the smallest increase would fall upon Bowmanville. The mill rates there would be up 20.18 mills or 13.47 per cent. In Newcastle the tax increase would be the highest with a mill rate increase of 34.62 or 25.52 per cent. Clarke would have an in- crease of 41.19 mills or 20.11 per cent. In Darlington the rate would go up 33.95 mills. That's a percentage increase of 20.56. Since Council has not finaliz- ed iis 1976, budget, these figures couid change. Check-Up For Local Arenas The community services commit-bee has accepted a tender of $3600. to hire an engineering firm to inspect the Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville arenas. The ten- der has yet to be approved by :ouncil. The successful bid- der was the firm of Leighton and Kidd. The committee was told last Monday that it would be only three months before the town's arenas would be start- ing operatons again. Director of Parks and Recreation, Bud Fanning said "I think we'd better get moving on that job." Arena inspections are re- quested by the Provincial government every other year. The inspection considers the strength of the building in order to find out such things as how well the building can support a load of snow and ice or how well it can withstand high winds. KINSMEN PLAN TAG DAYS The Kinsmen Club of Bow- manville will hold Tag Days on May 28-29 if given per- mission by the Town of New- castle. The club has planned the tag days to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis in place of a Toll Gate that was cancelled on May 8. Arts Group Gets $5000 A grant of $5,150 from Wintario will help finance a Visual Arts Centre project called The Newcastle Game. Bill Humber, vice-president of the centre, told a meeting of the Community Services Com- mittee Monday that his group was surprised and happy to get the amount of money it had asked for. He told the committee that one of the projects the money will finance is a scheme to make a map of the cultural resources within the Town of Newcastle. The map would take a cultural inventory of the town, including such things as museums, art galler- ies, scuba diving sites and boating areas. Part of the map-making operation would involve photographing parts of the town and Mr. Humber said this project is going to begin immediately. He said, after the meeting, that he is already looking for volunteers. Bud Fanning, director of recreation for the town, said the recreation department was willing to co-operate with The Newcastle Game projects.

Each one of us must go through it. This is when we are confront- ed with that very penetrating- cry of Christ's. "If it be Thy will, let the cup pass from me. Yet Thy will not mine be done."
