Kolodzie said he will not accept the extra $500 a year. Rather, he will set up a scholarship with it at Durharn College. Not Necessary Oshawa councillor, John Aker, who is chairrnan of the Region's finance cornrittee, said the raise is not necessary. He said "we are rnaking $12,480 now and for the work we do here that is adequate. I arn sure rnost of us spend more tirne on local matters than we do on regional so if there are any pay increases they should corne at the local level, not here. " Newcastle Councillor Ivan Hobbs argued that with this raise the regional chairman will "be placed just within a few d6llars of the salary of a provincial premier." If he gets a further raise next year, "we could see the chairman of Durharn Region rnaking rnore than the prernier of the province." If we're going to atternpt to curtail costs, he added, rnaybe this is one area we should seriously look at. Pickering councillor, Ken Mathe- son, argued in favor of the increase saying many councillors put in 50 to 60 hours a week looking after area and regional business. "No one is being forced to take it," he contended. Whitby Councillor Bob Attersley said the raise was justified because rnany have to quit their jobs when they hold the post of regional councillor. He said that if council- lors' salaries are kept low, it will discourage rnany interested people for running for this office. Commence January 1 The pay hikes were recornrended by the previous council last summer to take effect January 1 providing the 1979 council gave its approval. 0f the Newcastle contingent, only Bill Clarke voted for the raise. Others who voted for -the increase were: Oshawa Mayor Jirn Potticary and Councillors Allan Pilkey, Alan Dewar, Ruth Bestwick, John Me- Laughlin and John DeHart, Ajax Mayor Clark Mason and Councillors Bill McLean, Ken Matheson and Gerry Fisher of Pickering' Bob Attersley of -Whitby, Mayor of Uxbridge Gary Herrerna and Coun- cillor Maustyn McKnight, Brock councillor Don Hadden', Mayor of Scugog Jerry Taylor and Councillor- Reg Rose.

Seek Town's S upport For Topless Ban The issues of topless wait- resses 'and pornography re- ceived bare mention recently at the town's finance and administration committee meeting. Council bas been encour- aged by Oakville council to In appreciaton of the work done by the volunteers of Community Care during the past year, a social evening was held at the home of the Chairman. Joan Higginson on on Mon., Dec. 18.'Approx- mately 50 guests enioved the support a submission by St. Dominic's Parish of that city. The parish asked that muri- icipalities in Ontario begin a drive to change or create a law in Ontario "which will prevent, forbid, and stop the practice in Ontario of topless or bottomless waitresses, dan- cers, strippers and nude or partially nude floor shows etc. in bars, restaurants or other places of entertainment. This law should also ban porno- graphy on public newsstands, television, in movies, maga- zines, and other media." The committee adopted a recommendation by town manager Albert Guiler that "each member of council should review the contents of the correspondence and make a decision based upon their own personal beliefs. " He said, some of the comments made by St. Dominic's are valid but "the right of censorship should be the right of the individual provided they have reached the age of majority." punch and Christmas 'good- ies' provided by members of the Community Care Board at this, the second annual volun- teer Appreciaton Night.

Study Shows Seniors Need Hom1es Here A recent report from the Ministry of Housîng seys there is a need for 20 ta 24 heavily subsidized rent-geered-to- income units for senior cîtizens in the Town of Newcastle. The report, presented ta council Monday, Dec. l8th, is an updete of a similer study carried out hy the Ministry in 1975. The recommendetion of that survey resulted in a resolution from council on September 15, 1975, in support of the development. of 67 one-bedroom units for senior citizens in tbe town of Newcastle., Since then, the Ministry bas been looking for a site in Bowmenville ta accommodete sucb a project but bas been uneble ta, find one properly zoned and servîced or suitably located at a reasoneble price. A representative of the Canadian Order of Foresters (eastern group) told town council on Dec. 18 the orgajnization hopes to begin con- struction of its senior citizen housing project by March. He asked for council's utrnost co- operation in meeting this goal. "This is a rnuch-needed project," said Orrnand Yourth, "and we are anxious to get it rolling. " The Foresters want to build senior citizen housing units and farnily townhouses behind the rnedical cen- tre on King Street East in Bowrnan- ville. The entire site is nine acres and the Foresters only need five at the present tirne. The owners of the land, though, want to sell the entire nine-acre parcel.
