Board Hikes Prices at Cafeterias t will cost for soup, bot dinners, hotdogs ard hamburgers at some higb school cafeterias next year. At a meeting of the North- umberland Newcastle Board of Education in Cobourg last week, a price list for 1V78-79 was approved for the board- operated cafeterias anc three cafeterias where private operators serve students and staff. Most new prices raise food costs about a nickel in the upcoming year. For example, hamburgers at the board- operated cafeterias will cost 50 cents rather than 45. Soup will rise in price from 25 cents to 30 cents and it will cost 20 cents instead of 15 cents to munch a doughnut. Similar increases were, requested by private cafeteria operators on some food items. The Board of Education runs cafeterias in the Campbellford District High School, the Clarke High School; Courtice Secondary School; East Northumberland and Secondary School and Port Hope High School. The Bowmanville High School cafeteria is operated by Beaver Foods Ltd. and the cafeteria at the Cobourg District Collegiate Institutes east and west are operated by Dutch Oven Food Services Limited. In a report to school trustees, the board's staff noted that it was increasing prices at its own cafeterias to pay for food costs and wages of staff. 0MB Approves Amendment to Clarke By-law In a hearing that lasted less than 35 minutes, the Ontario Municipal Board approved an ammendment to the former Township of Clarke's zoning by-law permitting a bona fide farmer to erect a second single family dwelling on his lot. The hearing was held Wednesday morning and only one objector stated his case to Doug Colburne, officer of the board. William Slater told the hearing that he agreed in principle with the amendment, however, he believed that it was too restrictive and not liberal enough. "I have a farm and a family and like many others, I know its difficult to start out farming with a young person on the farm", said Mr. Slater. "It's difficult to get enough out of a small farm to support two families. Young people need to work in this area: in industry and in part time farming. I don't believe that the amend- ment is liberal enough. It's going to be pretty hard to get a loan to build that second dwelling when there is no severance being allowed." Mr. Colburne listened to Mr. Slater's arguments and heard one person speak for the amendment. The sole proponent to speak, William Allin, merely stated that the by-law amendment would allow him to do what he wanted, therefore he supported it. David Sims, solicitor for the Town of Newcastle, told the hearing that the town was adamantly opposed to allowing any severance on the property. He also informed the officer that the town was completing a comprehensive zoning by-law to cover the entire area municipality. At this time, Darlington's by-laws allow farmers to build a second dwelling while Clarke's do not.' Mr. Colburne stated that he would approve the by-law amendment because it provided at least some relief to those who needed it. "It may not go as far as everyone wants, but as far as that is concerned the municipality bas already taken steps to correct the matter," he said. According to the new amendment, notwithstanding any provisions of the by-law to the contrary, "...a bona fid farmer whose main source of income is derived from the farming operations on a lot, may erect a second single family dwelling on the said lot, provided that both dwellings are used by persons signifi- cantly engaged in the farming operation on the lot and provided further that the said lot has a minimum area of 50 acres." It was pointed out at the hearing that there might be administrative problems over the interpretation of the word 'significant' in"e by-law. Mr. Sims said that he could only hope that this section would be dealt with fairly by the administrators. Shop Canadian Logion Bantams ln a Bad Slump NEED A RUG CLEANED?
