The Shutter of Innocence By Cynthia Bal 1 have not sat beside a morning grave, Or heard the guns. 1 do not woýnder about the .living tomorrow Or who has died today, I do not live in an untrusting war, But in an honest homne. I see the fields scattered with the triumphant dandelion, Not the humble poppy. Forgive my ignorance, I arn a child of pence, Thank God.

RON CHOW Student Council President Com mittees Unchanýged At Reglon Comrmittees of the Durham Region counce il l it change In 198. At a meeting of council in Whitby last week, elected officiais voted to keep the existing five committees rather than holding new elections for comnmittee mnem- bers and chairmen ini 1978. "I think for a numrber of reasons there is sorme value in continuing the exîsting situa- tion," commented Counillor Allan Dewar, chairman of the Durham Region's manage- ment commrittee. He noted that many council- lors are becoming more effi- cient as a 'result of a year's experience on certain commit- tees. A change in 1978 would resuit in less efficiency, he argue. Committees of council are established to oversee social services, public works, management, planning and development and finance. Mr. Dewar stated that a decision to retain existîng committees would not include the Durham. Regiôn's poice commission or conservation authlorities. Newcastle's counillors are represented on four regionai committees. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard is chairman of the works committee; Counillor- Bob Dykstra is a memberof the planning and development committee; Councillor Bruce Taylor is on the finance committee and Counillor Ted Woodyard is part of the management committee. OPP1RPORT Winterize your Vehicie and your Driving, Each year at this time a number of motorists become involved in automobile acci- dents' because they fail to winterize their vehicles and even more importantly their drîving. If you haven't already done so, the Ontario Provincial Police urge you to equip your vehicle for winter. Lack of traction and poor visibility are the major causes of winter mishaps, therefore, ensure you have good snow tires for tracion and~ to obtini the best possible Visijbility m1ake sure you have a good pair of windshield wipers, and ice scraper and yotir defroster is functioning properly. It is also essential to adjust your driving during the winter months.
