Complications Arise Over Winner of CSS Band Quilt Report FavorsGrowthtoWest East is east but west is best when it comes to recommendations for future development in Bowmanville. That's one of the conclusions of a report prepared by Underwood, McLellan and Associates. This same report could surface tonight at a public meeting in the Bowmanville council chambers to discuss future shopping centre developments in the town.j The report gives two alternatives: The first one reflects Volume 122 20cPer Copv a growth pattern suggested by the region of Durham in its discussion paper number four. The second allows growth both east and west of Martin Road with a planned population of 30,000. Alternative two has been described as reflecting "a natural orientation to the west within the region while retaining the principle of infilling east of Martin Road."

MAY 26, 1976 28 Pages Number 21 During the intermission at the Courtice Secondary School's Music Night Thursday, Mrs. Jean Youngman made the draw for the beautiful quilt she made and donated to the band fund. The winner's ticket was number 2477, Mr. Jensen, phone 268-2591, as announced by Tom McGuirk, President of the Band Parents Assn. All was well until they tried to track down the winner. The 268 number is somewhere near Ottawa but nobody answered the phone. There are Jensens at 263-2591 but they have no stub that corresponds with the winner. Mrs. Dorothy Castle, the draw chairman and the committee don't quite know what to do. In the meantime, the band fund is richer by more than $600, and the concert was a great success. At Durham East Meeting Conse rvative M.P.P. Urges tr ass Roots Organi ation hrff Socilist Threat If the provincial Tories hope to return a majority govern- ment to Queen's Park in the next election, then the Pro- gressive Conservatives must become a party of the grass roots and not the top brass, Mississauga North M.P.P. Terry Jones warned last Wednesday. Speaking to the annual meeting of the Durham East P.C. Association at Bowman-' ville High School, he stated that "unless we go out and do solid work in the trenches, then enough people might buy the policies of the socialists. We had aclose call in the last election." Mr. Jones is well known for his work with the Youth Secretariat, which published a report last month dealing with youth and alcohol. Among other recommendations, the paper urged that the drinking age be raised from 18 to 19 years, and that stricter (Turn to Page Two) L awrence Pleased with Government Decis ion to Cut Nuclear Aid to India Allan Lawrence, M.P for pleased with the federal cated that opposition party Northumberland Durham government's announcement objections to further nuclear stated he is relieved and CHALLENGE SOCCER FOR ITALIAN RELIEF Information was received this morning that the Chal- lenge Soccer game of the year between Oshawa City Council and Oshawa Chamber of Commerce members will be held at Oshawa Civic Fields, Fri- day, May 28th at 6:30 p.m. Funds raised will be used for the relief of Italian earthquake victims. Players and spectators will be charged $1, plus another $1 for a gala enter- tainment feature by ethnic groups in Civic Auditorium starting at 8 p.m. All members of council, includ- ing Mayor Jim Potticary, will be taking part and the C of C team will be headed by well known Irish soccer star and barrister Terry Kelly, all of them somewhat out of condition. that it will not renew nuclear co-operation with India. "This is a decision which could and should have been made sometime ago", said Mr. Lawrence. "But it will be welcomed by Canadians and by those in all parts of the world who are concerned about the future of mankind." In making the announce- ment to the House of Com- mons, External Affairs Min- ister Allan MacEachen indi- aid for India, which were expressed during a special debate on March 23rd, "was one of the factors in reaching our decision." Mr. Lawrence led off that debate in March with a resolution condemning the in- creased threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and particularly Canada's negotiations to resume nuclear assistance to India. Controversy Continues Over Hale Dumping Site Controversy over a garbage dump owned by Walter John Hale and the dump's effect on property owned by folksinger Ian Tyson continues. Mr. Tyson who has a farm next door to Mr. Hale's dumpsite in Clarke township, has complained through a letter written by his lawyer to regional council that the dump adjacent to his property is a "ýnuisance". This week, Mr. Tyson told the Statesman that there was no dump next door when he bought his farm in 1965. The dump is something more recent, he said. He added that (Turn to Page Two) Located south of the Village of Bethany, this unique house has been attracting considerable attention from passersby. The name on the mail box along the road indicates that it is occupied by Chaplin Fields, but no information is available concerning its construction. DUMP LICENCE RENEWAL The Newcastle council has sent the request for the Atomic Energy Control Board not to renew the licence of Eldorado Nulcear Ltd. to use the Port Granby dump site for nuclear waste. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said the request not to renew the company's licence which expires on June 30 was sent to Oshawa yesterday by registered mail. Ontario Hydro is planning a public meeting to discuss the proposed Darlington Generat- ing Station. It is scheduled June 8th at the Lions Centre in Canadian Union of Public Employees at Memorial Hos- pital voted last night in favor of participating in an illegal walkout with CUPE personnel in 60 other hospitals across Ontario. The local union voted 65 per cent in favor of the one day strike which slated for the 17th of June. The central bargain- ing unit of CUPE called for the 3,400,000 kilowatts of power using nuclear energy and be located on a site about three miles southeast of Bowman- ville.

A couple of local stores had small supplies on hand that were sold very quickly, but the customary sounds of bangers being set off were completely lacking. It w.as the quietest 24th of May in recent history. Backfiring motorcycles and those with noisy mufflers were the only noises to disturb the atmosphere. It somehow signified the end of an era. GREAT COMMUNITY EFFORT - The Vil- lage of Bethany is not large in population, but it certainly must be given this week's orchid for great citizen involvement. They held their big Victoria Day weekend, starting Friday, ending Monday and must have had wonderful co- operation from citizens to make it so success- ful. From the large number of entries in the gigantic parade on Monday, the entire area was involved. They are to be congratulated on a great show. GRADUATION DAY - Durham College will hold its annual Convocation on Saturday afternoon at the Civic Auditorium in Oshawa when the hundreds of graduates will receive diplomas and be on their way out into the world. If it is as impressive a ceremony as in previous years, it will be a memorable event, especially for those being launched on their careers. Durham's reputation as a school whose graduates find their place in the business world very quickly is something to be cherished. We are indeed fortunate to have such a fine institution of learning close by. PAINTING PREACHER - Late Tuesday morning a man with his face and clothing splattered with paint dropped in to The States- man office to remind us that the new Free Methodist Church ½ mile south on Trull's Rd. would be holding its official dedication service on Sunday at à p.m. When our staff with eye- brows raised gave him a querulous look, he identified himself as the new minister there, the Rev. David Dyer. He's going to have to work hard to get all that paint off before Sunday. HAZARDOUS SWIMMING - Youngsters in the Hampton area who are thinking of diving in the pond for a swim (if it ever warms up) would be well advised to be careful. Apparently, there are cement blocks and wire in there that could make it pretty hazardous. BLOOD DONOR CLINIC - There will be a Red Cross Blood Donor clinic at Courtice Secondary School this Friday afternoon from 12:30 to 3:30 for studentsbut the general public will also be welcomed. Top Ontaro Marks in Chemistry and Physics strike three weeks ago after making a reduced request to hospital negotiators. The strike will affect ambulance attendants, Regis- tered Nursing Assistants, and laundry, housekeeping and dietary personnel at the hos- pital. There are 75 CUPE workers at Memorial. The walkout contravenes Section 85 of the Labor Relations Act. Councillor Favors Closed Meetings Not all Newcastle council- Coun.

Competing with 5,185 students from across the province in the University of Waterloo Chemistry exam, two Bowmanville High School students finished with top marks. Dean McIntyre, right, finished the exam with the top mark in Ontario and Charles Elliott with a mark in the top 250 category. Dean will receive a $500 scholarship with the opportunity to assist a Waterloo professor on a research project. Both students also wrote the Canadian Association of Physicists Examination and received top honors, Dean ranking fourth and Charles, 51st among the 772 students across Ontario who wrote the exam. PortGranby Dum Issue R aised in Legisiature Durham East MPP Doug Moffatt has questioned the provincial government on the future of the Port Granby dump site presently used by Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. for waste from the refinery at Port Hope. "It seems to me that with the impending removal of 100,000 cubic yards of material from the Port Hope area, and the fact that the Port Granby dump is now almost filled to capacity, we should be doing a heck of a lot more than just trusting the AECB (Atomic Energy Control Board), Mr. Moffatt said in the legislature on May 18. "It seems to me that where we got into trouble in Port Hope 30 years ago and again in the last 10 years is through that kind-of misplaced trust in the Atomic Energy Control Board," he stated. Mr. Moffatt asked what measures the Ministry of the (Turn to Page Two) the station to-the Mimster of Energy. Ontario Hydro says comments from the com- munity and individuals will be welcomed at the meeting. Bikers Chase Cattle According to a report by the Newcastle OPP, a group of 15 to 20 motorcyclists broke down fences and chased cattle at the farm of Ryerson Gibson of R.R.5, Bowmanville, last weekend. Police say the bikers had come from the Mosport race. When the police arrived in response to calls the bikers had already dispersed. A helicopter and a police car near the site were used to watch the farm Monday but there were no further incidents. No arrests were made. PRESIDENT-DESIGNATE Congratulations are ex- tended to the Rev.
