The grant paid for the hiring of David Ilaney, an instructor at Humber College and a professional set builder and designer.

Working with such mater- ials as papier mache and two by fours, plywood sheets and electrie saws, the group was preparing 12 foot hîgh sets for the play "Ladies in Retire- ment." The play involves building the interior of a Victorian style house on the stage of the Bowmanville High School Auditorium. Pat Rundie, one of the volunteers with the Bowman- ville Drama group said that the set will include a fireplace, windows that open and-shut, some stairs and an oven that is six feet deep. Welfare Rate (From Page One) welfare in January. The 1977 budget originally called for a four per cent increase in the new year to $7.1 million, but it was reduced by the Social Services Committee by $98,652 down 2.5 per cent. The 1976 budget was 12.5 per cent under the estimated budget of $6,846,024, because the, flourishing economy of General Motors, Mr. Dancey said. Mr. Dancey said he antici- pates that General Motors will not be hiring at as high a rate as last year, therefore in- creasing his budget -would be necessary.

SEAP Opposes (From Page One) But, he said that he had been assured from the mayor's office that one would be forthcoming. H1e said his group is very pleased that some action had been taken before the 4 p.m. deadline. "It is our contention that this building permit should not have' been issued, Mr. Veld- huis said last night. Legal Action H1e said that if the Town of Newcastle does not reverse its stand on the Eldorado permit, then SEAP would'be forced to have the legaiity of the town's action decided by a court. However, Mr. Veldhuis said, "They (the town) may have decided we are right." The question of the vaiidity ot Eldorado's permit centres on section 3.10 of the Clarke Township zoning by-law.. , "Normaliy, what they (El- dorado) a re doing is flot permitted in this zone," said chief building inspector H.G., Wight at the meeting of the legisiative and by-laws com- mittee Monciay.

Mr. Wight stated that Eldorado Nulear Limited fits into that category. At the Monday meeting of the Legîsiation and by-lnws committee, Mr. Wght was authorized to check the inter- pretation of the by-law with the town's solicîtor and sent a letter to the SEAP group. Mayor Riekard was also authorized to send a response to SEAP. Meanwhile, SEAP is taking legal action to quash a decision made last month by the Atomie Energy Control Board. That decision grants Eldorado a six month license for its Port Granby dump site. Mr. Veldhuis stated that the SEAP group is taking its legal action in the Federal Court of Canada. Mr. Veldhuis stated that his group, is quite confident that this case will be decided "in favor of thbe people." Local Student (From Page One) As a secondary seh ool student, one -of the most visible differences between the Canadian and New Zeal- and school system is the distance existing between stu- dents and teachers, she saîd. .Respect overshadowed al relationships between stu- dents and teachers in the New Plymouth Girls' school, she told Rotarians. ,While commending the emphasis on respect for teachers, she pointed out that close ties with instructors was an aspect entirely missing in the system. Another slightly different experience for her was the way in whîch a fire drill was carried out. Not only was the sehool evacuated during the drill, but fire trucks also arrived to bring a realistie touch to it by spraying water on the building. Experimenting with unfam- iliar customs,- however, came for both sides as it probably should in-a real exchange of cultural tradition. As the day ends earlier in New Zealand than it does at home, the all-night pyjama party was a phenomenon which she introduced to her friends. But perhaps one of the greatest steps made during her visit was to make her first climb up a mountain. It was more than the ordinary expedition on one of the attempts on a mountain, ending with a quick descent after she and her colleagues learned that a volcanie erup- tion was expected at any time. Beautiful Scenery. Besides travelling up and down New Zealand's moun- tains, she also made a side trip for a tour of the south island. 1,'rom tme crystal clear iaxes which dot the countryside to lush, rich forestland, the island's landscape can only be described as beautiful, she said. Another noticeable feature of the country are the flocks of sheep which are a common aspect, of life on the south island. As she travelled across the countryside during the tour on at least one occasion a flock of about 5000 sheep made its way through a village en route to greener pastures. The people accept it as part of their life-style and only laugh when a tourist shows surprise at the size of the migrating flock, she said. But, while New Ze land has many attractive feaflures, the May Widen (From Page One) "'intolerable". The engineer explained at the meeting that the plans for improvements to highway 401 eall for the upgrading of al interchanges along the 10 mile, route. He stated that the plans do not eaul for adding new interchanges, or removing any of the present ones. in Bowmanville, however, there are plans to build a railway overpass to accom- modate the CNR spur line leading to the Goodyear plant. Rail Overpass Mr. Donat said that there would be no change in the spur line leading to the Goodyear plant but there would be a, change in the location of the railway uine south of Baseline Road. Cost of the overpass is estimated at just under $2 million Another important factor in the widening projeet is Ontar- io Hydro's proposed $3.5 billion generating plant. He stated that figures re- leased by the trIydrü's Com- munity Impact studies indi- cate that about 4,000 people will be working on the project in the mid 1980's. Extra traffic to and from the construction site will put more, strain on the Courtice Road interchange, he said. Mr. Donat added that on one ramp, the increased traffic caused by Hydro would be 10 or i times normal level. Mr. Donat added that it will beup to Hydro to deai with the problems of higher traffie. He said uiydro is in the process of doing a study on this subject. After hearing the presenta- tion from both elngineers, the planning advisory committee decided to recommend to council that the 401 project be approved in principlle. SUPER'SPECIAL Set of 6 Floral TUMBLERS ON Y 2023 One Dollar Parking Fine Parking fines are still one dollar for Bowmanville and the rest of the municipality but a committee bas been formed to prepare amnend- ments to the town's parking by-law. The fines will be one of the subjects that the group of councillors and town staff will be considering. And, when the committee makes its recommendations, citizens should know whether or not Bowmanville's one dollar parking fine will go the way of the 10 cent cup of coffee. At present, the parking penalty is officially set at two dollars, according toa by-law approved by council last May. But, the two dollar penalty has neyer been collected and mnotorists still pay the one dollar fine. The town's finance commit- te Iearned Monday that the one dollar penalty covers a multitude of sins. For exam- pIe, the fine covers an offence suchi as parking in a prohib- ited zone as well as failing to feed the meter. A report from Town Clerk' Joe Mcllroy told the commit- tee that Bowmanville's park- ing fines are a bargain comnared tn the ones enforced SUPER SPECIAL Gillette Super Cricket LIGHTER ON-LY $1.33 in some nearby towns and cities. In Cobourg, the fine is two dollars for a parking meter violation and three dollars for a parking violation such as parking in a prohibited area. Oshawa has a parking fine of three dollars, although fleet-footed motorists who can pay their penalty within. 30 minutes are only charged two -dollars. Lindsay's parking fines are one dollar, but only if the motorist pays up within 48 hours. After that, there's a triple penalty of three dollars. In discussions of the parking fines Monday afternoon, finance committee chairman Don Allun stated that he wanted the fines to remain as they are now. He said both the merchants and residents he has talked to are "violently opposed" to the higher fines.
