The computerized bus sys- tem will also provide a complete listof routes shortly after school begins in Septem ber, although this year, snags in the system have delayed the list until November. ROMUS is also expeçted to make bus routes more effic- ient by cutting out extra mileage and overlapping bus routes. Mr. Clitheroe recently warned Northumberland Newcastle bus drivers not to start any side routes which force buses to cover the same distance twice. The drivers were reminded of a school board policy which states that children under the age of seven may be asked to walk up to one mile to a bus stop. Between seven and 10, the distance is increased to two miles and the distance for students older than ten is three miles. About 150 bus owners and drivers were introduced to ROMUS during a seminar in Cobourg last week.

Famous AI Martino CoIing t( AI Martino, who is appear- ing at Civic Auditorium, OshaWa, on Sept. 24th, is a singer who honestly deserves the titie of "international star." He is as much at home on the stage in Europe and Australia as he is in his native Philadelphia. The year of 1975 finds Martino at the height of his distinguished career with his Capitol album, "To The Door of The Sun,' thrilling his new Oshawa fans and loyal followers. Singing botb in Italian and English, Martino proves once again that he brings that "something extra" to a song. So great is his popularity in Europe that he was flown alI the way to Germany just to sing one song, the rousing "Come Into My Life," at the German National Press Bal in Bonn, one of the most glittering events of the year in the German capitol.

There was activity at our Community Hall on Saturday evening as the members of the Sunshine Club entertained their "other-halves" for their annual corn and wiener roast.

Ashton's place seems to have an affinity for pets, some canine and feline ones, some not, e.g. last February little "Scottie" Terrier ar- rived, stayed 3 weeks and disappeared. Now a white mother cat is using this pet foster home for her 6 lovely kittens, one bas already been adopted out, the other 5 are awaiting adoption by some pet lovers or else the "Pound". One consolation is meanwhile the rodents are controlled. Black and grey squigrels, skunks, pigeons, robins, grackles, swallows, humming birds, butterflies, bumble bees, toads and mice are callers and the handsome blue jay has already heralded the arrival ina short time of many winter birds. TYRONE Not too long ago, a public meeting was held at the Tyrone hall concerning the New Official Regional Plan in regards to hamlets in general and Tyrone in particular. The Mayor of tbe Town of New- castle presided, a Planner from the Region was present and so were Councillors Lyall, Cowman, Tink and Hobbs and 60 local residents. This was the best turnout they had to any of the public meetings held in connection with the new Official Plan. It was a very lively meeting with many residents voicing their con- cerns. The major concern was whether the new Plan would stifle the growth of the village and what impact this would have. Well, in the meantime, the official plan has been adopted as recommended and Tyrone is designated as a hamlet for irfilling only, But it also states that if the Council of the Town of Newcastle so desires any Coun. Ann Cowman bites into a cob of corn. Coun. Ken Lyall had just left the barbecue when the Statesman photographer arrived. hamlëted signation could be changed. This left the door wide open to anybody with some clout to buy up all the land around Tyrone, make a plan of subdivision, send a battery of lawyers and consul- tants to Council, the Region or Queenspark and, Bobs your Uncle, you've got a ready made slum in and around Tyrone before you know it. This is what brought a few concerned residents together at a meeting of minds who were determined to try to OME- THt DOCTORIS THE ONZ Y PERSON HA T DOESNIT HA VE A SURE CURE FOR 6.ACD MARTY'S Auto Repair 3 Queen St., Bowmanville 623-3896 direct the future of Tyrone the way they thought would en- sure that this could not happen and on the other hand at the same time provide enough growth and above infilling to support basic services like a general store, post office, service station, barber shop, etc. Tbey felt that standing still would be equal to going back but that helter-skelter de- velopment was worse. So, they tried to find the golden middle of the road, put it into writing and sent a brief to Council. They hope the Council wili give the proposal as much consideration as the residents bave given it thought, and hopefully a further report will be available next week on the brief and the reaction by council to it.
