Chresof2Conspiracy A meeting called last Wed- nesday night to discuss plan- ning matters in the Town of Newcastle has resulted in angry accusations being level- d against four councillors. The special meeting of council adjourned after about 45 minutes of discussion and the passing of one resolution that was strongly opposed by Councillor Kirk Entwisle. The Councillor charged in a statement intended for the press that there had been a "conspiracy" to get the reso- lution passed and he stated that the conspiracy "seemed to include" Councillors Alliri, Cowman, Hobbs and Lyall. In his statement. the Coun- cillor added that the actions taken by the four councillors were intended to get a little more recognition for propos- als of the Rice Construction Company.

No sooner were we on the street than the weather changed, turned cold and wet with, some snow. Oh well, as he says, you can't win them' ail. We'll have to admit it was nice and bright on Thanksgiving Monday, so the storm windows went on without any being broken, which is a rare achievement. DAY OF PROTEST - Tomorrow is the CLC's big Day of Protest when all workers are sup-. posed to quit work to protest the government's Anti-Inflation program. At the moment, it doesn't appear to be shaping up as the gigantic effort the CLC's leader hoped for. About all that likely will be achieved here is the town's out- side workers and some clerical help will be out a day's pay. PUBLIC INVITED - CFRB's famous Allen Spraggett will be exploring the world of the unexplained at the Canadian Club of West Durham meeting this Friday, Oct. 15th at Trinity United Church, started at 8:15 p.m. The general public is advised that tickets for this one meeting may be obtained at the door. As the club has gone to considerable expense to bring this outstanding speaker to the club, your support would be appreciated. COLOR TOUR - This Sunday the Bowman- ville Kinsmen will sponsor their annual Color Tour for Senior Citizens throughout the area. For details, see the advertisement on the En- tertainment page in this edition. The chilly weather will speed up the changing leaves, but there should still be plenty of beautiful shades for all to enjoy. BACKING OPERATION - Parliament opened yesterday in Ottawa after MPs had a three months oliday. By now, anyone interested probably knows what was contained in the Speech from the Throne, read by the wife of Governor General Leger. We haven't heard from our MP Allan Lawrence since his return from that Parliamentary trip overseas, but no doubt he'll be keeping readers informed in future articles. It appears Prime Minister Trudeau may be preparing to soften the anti-inflation controls to restore his government's popularity. Time will tell. FOUNDING CONVENTION - Word was re- ceived this week that the Durham-Northum- berland Federal Progressive Conservative As- sociation will be holding its Founding Conven- tion at the Memorial Park Clubhouse in Bow- manville, Wednesday, Oct. 20th, at 8 p.m. The revised federal constituency includes the old County of Durham plus the Township of Scugog, and along the lakefront to include the Town of Cobourg for a total population of 71,517. That's a big area for any MP to canvass- graims, andt recreation in te Town of Newcastle. The Handbook also contains the telephone numbers of contact persons for these organiza- tions.

P OSS i;ble ExpansiOn For WVo rKS po art rntn It isn't known yet when the expansion of the town's works department will get underway but works director, Jack Dunham recommends that thé expansion take place in Hampton and Bowmanville. In a memo presented to the works committee last week, Mr. Dunham suggested the building of four more equip- ment bays at the Hampton works depot and the building of a salt storage shed at the works department yard in Bowmanville. The cost of the two struc- tures would be an estimated $145,000 and Mr. Dunham's memo states that the salt shed would cost $40,000. The equip- ment bays would account for $105,000. He suggested that the pro- posals for extra building be given top priority and if possible started in 1977. In reply to a question from Councillor Hobbs, Mr. Dun- ham stated that the salt shed proposed for Bowmanville would have a cement floor and concrete walls two or three feet above the floor level. He said this would mean (Turn "o Page Two) Visual Arts Centre Elects New Directors The Visual Arts Centre of theTown of Newcastle nowhas a new board of'directors to-go along with.its legal status as a corporation, which became officiai on August 4th.
