Mr. Gwilliam, a director of the consulting firm which prepared a review of Ontario Hydro's environ- mental impact study on the Darling- ton plant, said that workers at the site would want to settle into the community. Employment opportu- nities in Oshawa would also attract people into the subdivision proposed in Courtice, he added. The witness also pointed out that the growth rate of the municipality has been an average of 650 persons .per year, or two per cent of the total population of the area. During the first two days of the hearing this week, Mr. Gwilliam explained that the consulting firm found the Courtice subdivision plans conformed to the Darlington Official Plan and previous planning studies.

No reason has been given for the move by Premier Davis, other than an indication that, Taylor intends to run in the next federal election.

The new minister stated that publicinput into important decisions such as Darlington is "basic in my philosophy." L Issue 4 124th Year New Durham Chairman Dr. Keith W.

JANUARY 25.1978 28 Pages 20c, Reveal Secret WW Il Spy School Activities At Camp X By Peter Parrott In the cloak-and-dagger realm of espionage during the Second World War, even the village of Orono had a role to play. Parachute drops into wooded areas in the Orono reforestration area were made by novice secret agents practicing their trade. Some of them were dropped from planes only 1,000 feet above the tree-tops; reporters were told during a press conference in Whitby last week. Clandestine activity in this muni- cipality was part of the operations that took place at Camp X, Canada's school for spies located on the Lake Ontario shoreline between Oshawa and Whitby. Saboteurs and assassins and spies who graduated from this unique insitution went to wartime assign- ments around the world. In spite of the parachute training and the live amunition fired at recruits during training, there were few fatalities at Camp X; an Oshawa alderman said last week. But research conducted by Ald. Allan Dewar and two other residents of the Oshawa-Whitby area has resulted in stories such as this one: A person from a neutral country training at Camp X was fatally wounded during an exercise. Offi- cially, his country was not at war and to bury him on Canatian soil would be a risky venture. The solution to the problem was to return the body to its native land sewn inside a diplomatic bag. The body was returned by regular courier routes from New York. Realistic Training Another story from Camp X involves the training of spies by schemes that were made as realistic as possible. For example, the General Motors plant in Oshawa and a factory in Ajax were penetrated by trainees practicing the art of sabotage. On another occasion, a Yugoslav who spoke only a few words of English successfully penetrated naval yards in Toronto and walked awa with highly secret code books use 1i communications. Sound like a plot from a spy-movie or paperback novel? Perhaps, then, it won't be too surprising to learn that Ian Flemming, author of the famous James Bond thrillers, was a trainee at Camp X and used come of (Turn to Page T'wo BITS & PIECES LEGION WINNERS - Each week, the winners of the current Legion weekly draws will appear under Notices on the classified page. There are still a few tickets available for anyone who would like to participate. CLOSED MONDAYS - The Bowmanville Liquor Board outlet has quite a few signs displayed telling customers that the store is closed on Mondays, but quite a few people have forgetten about it. They get quite annoyed when they corne to the front door and it's locked. This note is just a reminder to buy enough on Friday or Saturday to last until Tuesday. Funny how the stuff evaporates. REGION JACKETS - The news media has been having a good time with one of the Durham Region's councillors who suggested that a special jacket should be obtained, identifying region councillors. Apparently, the suggestion is being seriously investigated as to prices, colors, etc. One editorial writer thought they might be wise to forget the idea for their own protection. Picture a councillor crossing the street in front of a ratepayer who had just received his water and sewer bill. OFFICIAL OPENING - Victoria & Grey Trust Company's top officials are expected here Thursday for the officiai opening of their 45th branch in the Veltri Complex in Bowmanville.

Our informants indicate that Hampton residents will be out in full force, possibly with tempers wrought up a bit. It is sug- gested they read a letter in this edition from someone who lives near the Enniskillen Conservation area. She is not too thrilled about the changes in her neighborhood. WINTER GOLF CLASSIC - This Saturday, golfers from the area will be warming up for spring at Bowmanville Country Club. They'll be taking part in the first annual Winter Golf Classic sponsored by Bowmanville Rotary and Jaycee clubs. It should be fun if it doesn't stir up a blizzard. Larry Pooler and John Manuel, the organizers, have dreamed up some unique gimmicks. Spectators will be welcomed.
