Alun Runnng for Region Bowmanville Councillor Don Alin has announced that he will be seeking a position as Bowmanvile's regional councillor in the upcoming municipal election. Councillor Allin told the States- man Tuesday that he has decided to run for office again this year after serving nine consecutive years as a Bowmanville councillor. He is presently finishing a term as local councillor and he served four years on the Bowmanville Town Council prior to his five years on Newcastle council. So far, Councillor Allin has no opposition for the regional post in Bowmanville. Regional Councillor Bob Dykstra is presently holding the seat sought by Councillor Allin, however he will be running this fall in the mayoralty race along with incumbent Mayor Garnet Ilickard. To date, all but one member of Newcastle council have decided to run again this fall. Ward Three Councillor Ted Woodyard is the only council member who has not stated whether or not he will be in the running. "Canada Jam" By Lynne Ainsworth Canada Jam at Mosport may have been a success as far as promoters and fans were concerned, but for several teenagers who took on jobs as cooks and hawkers the concert was a sticky mess. As of last week the Canada Student Manpower Office in Oshawa reported 15 registered complaints from teenagers and their parents regarding the amount of money workers were paid. Dave Warnica, co-ordinator of the Oshawa Student Manpower,.said the complaints involved two concession stand operators, Banner King Foods and Ril Food Products Ltds. Both companies are Canadian owned. He said there were three or four major complaints lodged against the two compames. In some cases students edaim they were hired at $4 an hour, but paid at, or below the' mimmum wage of $2.65, while others were told to put a returnable $30 deposit down to cover the cost of a T-shirt, $25 worth of food to sell and $5 to make change. Once the food was sold hawkers were told to come back to the stand, pay another $22.50 for more food and keep on selling. For each $22.50 sold by the hawker he or she would earn $2.50. The catch, said Mr. Warnica, was that hawkers were sent out at 8 a.m. on Saturday to sell hamburgers to a crowd that either wasn't ready to eat Workers Underpaid? or had brought their own food. As a result the food became cold and unsaleable, making it impossible for the hawker to purchase another order. When 16-year-old Sheila Derrett of Bowmanville signed up for a job as a cook, she says she was told she'd be earning $4 an hour and would have all her meals paid. The $4 an hour and the free meals never material- ized, instead at the end of her 30 hour shift, allSheila took home was a sore foot and $57 cash. Hoping to earn enough money to buy a ack to school wardrobe, Sheila was disappointed and angr when she discovered just how much money she would take home. "When some of us questioned Don, (the manager of the stand), about the money e told us he had stopped paying us at 10 p.m. on Saturday night, but we worked right up until 6 o'clock Sunday morning,' said Sheila. The concert began at 9 a.m. Saturday morning and lasted until 4 a.m. Sunday morning., Reporting to work on Friday at 12:30 p.m. for an organizational meeting, Sheila did not begin work until il p.m. Friday evening. From il p.m. Friday until Sunday morning at 6 a.m. Sheila and the other students worked almost non-stop in a crowded and hot kitchen. Turn to Page Two Hydro Costs Haif Million But All of it Recoverable Ontario Hydro's Darlington Generating Station has cost the municipality over half a million dollars so far. But, the good news for taxpayers is that all of this amount will be paid by Hydro as a result of a series of agreements between the municipali- ty and Hydro. In a summary prepared for the finance and administration commit- tee this week, Town Treasurer Klaas Degroot indicated that most of the money spent by the town went into the construction of the south service road leading to the Darlington site. The cost of that project was listed as $431,000 in the treasurer's report. Other facts and figures provided for town officials this week indicated that consulting fees and legal fees related to the Hydro development cost the town roughly $65,000. A further cost of $1,500 was the result of the town's expenses in closing roads running through the 1200 acre Darlington site.

Apparently, they were promised big things for their lengthy stretch of work but sales weren't as brisk as the operators hoped so the kids were the ones whose wages were cut. The Dept. of Labor is investigating. FOILED AGAIN - Sorry to report that Louise Van Camp, Durham's Dairy Princess was again disappointed in her efforts to win top honors in the CNE com- petition. A girl from Pembroke won the title. Wonder who will win this year's Miss Durham Central crown at Orono Fair on Saturday. BACK TO SCHOOL - The streets were fairly clear Tuesday morning shortly after 9 a.m. with all the youngsters and their bicycles back to school for the fall term. It could have rained to make the reluctant ones feel a bit happier about being cooped up all day, but instead it was a glorious warm day for playing outside. Such is life.
