The move was -made at a regu- har meeting of the Board after a copy of a letter from the Minis- ter of Municipal Affairs Dalton Baies was presented to the board. Mr. Bales expressed disappoint ment that the Oshawa Area Plan- ning and Develooment Study was terminated but thbat did not nec- essarily mean that the need for more effective, form of local government has ended. "It simple means that we shahl bave to renew our effort to de- fine and' structure local res"on- sibilities, so that important area decision-makîng may be achieved, lie said. Mr. Bales stated that since, the study had been terminated the question becomes one of where does the provine pick up the tbread? H1e went an to say the OAPADS report gives a. very val- uable starting point for some serious discusion between the ~province and' each of the "'inter- ested municipalities and otber parties." "I do attach, some urgency, in proceeding t othe determination of a new form of local govern- ment for the area east of Toronto he said. The effective application of the concepts embodied in the Toronto-centred regian willi de- pend upon it," hie said. "Therefore I would liRe ta have any briefs local municipali- ties, the counties invohved and other interes ted parties -wouid care to submit by November lst of this year. I would like -those submitting briefs to have 'ample time to consider their views and to expand upon them,' hie contin- ued. The' Board decided to again re- state their d'caim, as previously, that they were opposied to the formation of the new area. . 125 N.w Teachers Join Area Staffs Due ta retirements, leaving the area and other minor reasans the Northumberland and Durham Board of Education has hired 125 new teachers this year represent- ing around Il percent of the to- tal teaching staff. Ail teaching staff has heen fiiied excepting ane mhich will be shortly. Mr. Thom said the percent of thase wishing to icave the area was very smalh. lHe feit that the Board had establishcd good work- ing conditions. Mr. MeKague said hie was con- ccrned with the board's policy of helping teachers financially to be- came upgraded while there is a surplus of young people on the market who have ail the qualifi- cations and wha attained thase qualifications themselves without any hehp* from anyone. "We have four such yaung teachers in aur own boundaries who are qualified and wha can't get jobs," hie said. "That we are supparting the upgrading of teachers is cancerning me vcry much." Mr. Thom pointed out that the situation of supporting the up- grading af teachers was inheri- ted. It cost the Board $90,00 hast year ta do this, hie said, which for elementary and secondary sehools combined worked out ta be $100 per teacher. The director intimated that the upgrading was anc of the provi- sions of the cantract negotiations with teachers. FARMI ASSESSMENT FROZE STATES LOCAL REP. Farmi assessment as welI aàs home assessnent, will b- frozen until 1974 if a bill introduced hy Municipal Affairs Minister D Bales is passed. First announced on July l4th the bill proposrd a freeze on ail assessments. However the flQws media reported 'that the bill m7ould fréeze hom,-' assessments; they dîd flot mention farmi ass Bruce Taylor, Durham county essmenfs. fariner and executive member of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture ]earned this Thursday wh,7len hie met with Wiliam Pal- mer, Deputy Minister of MIunici- pal Affairs. "Palmer clarified the position for me", Taylor said la- ter. "Hie explained that this freeze on assessment wouid ap- ply to ail property not just homes but farms, commercial ançrindus- trial property ooa. "This freeze in property assess- ment until 1974 is preparation for a corilete revamping of fthc svstem', Taylor said. "Palmer toi(lnme that his departincnt 'was developing a new land value scbedule, for farm valuation. This schedîîle might be available for discussion in six months, but it'Il bc several years before the de- partrneut is ready to revise ail assessments" Carruthers (Continued from page 1) pursuit of truth and development of positive attitudes." H1e wondored wh ether "in 'our desire to reform we have over- looked certain basic moral prin ciples" The lack of unity in Can- ada and the unsettled state of so- ciety brought him into that con- clusion, hie said. "You just, cannot pick a subject pick a government and resignate is as a subject. 1 think the spirit of citizen.-hip must run through ail sehool porograms," he said. 1The lesons of life should be tauglit in a subtle manner. hie suggested., The aid English course used to emphasize the skiils of read- ing, comprehiension, spelling, the use of good grammar 'and cre- ative composition, hie said. On many occasions there is to- day a lack of them. H1e said. he rceîved a letter fromn a first year universîty student seeking em- plyment which had 10 mistakes in spelling and three in grammar Table Plans For New Harness Track In Darington Plans for' a harness race tra 1 k in Darlington were tabled during the regular township counclil meeting held in Hampton on Juiy l6th. The company, Oshawa flarness Management Ltd., presented a proposai to build a haif-mile race track on 94 acres of property sit- uated in Lot 26, south of Iiehway 401 and east of Courtice Road. The- preiminary plans include a grandstand, club bouse, bar'ns, maintenance and administration buildings and a parking facility for 3600 cars. The esti7mated cost of the undertaking is $5 million. The township council referred the matter to its legal and plan- ning advisors for study and opin- ion. If the proposai is accepted- the township would have to change its present zoning by-iaw and officiai plan covering the property. The land is currently dcsignated for industrial purpos- es. The company bas bought 'about 30 acrer and has an option 'the remainder. If ail goes according to p)lan, the new track, shouid be open for races -by 1973, Dr. Peter Zakarow of Bowmanvilie, one of the company directors stated. Dr. Zakarow said that the corn- pany may go public to raise the necessary cai-ital for the venture. A decision will be made in a month or two's time. 11- '-aid thit Darlington had "ýagreed in principle" with the proposai and tbat tentative ap- proval is mur b 'ing sought with the Ontario Wat 'r Ilesources (ommission and the Canadian Transport Commi sîonj i He1Pt, tiiere would be no probhem r ithi the OWRC as the prope1ýty has access to the lake for a'water sup- piy and as engineers ýhaveý de- výised! a sçwer systema utilizing ad- equ ate septie -tank facilitie8, for (Continued page 6) -SAVE S'-UMMER FUN- KOD ACHROME ZH Film <For si id es with superb color, sharp detail lt's' the universal favorite for color slides'. .. famous for ex-' treme sharpness, unexcelled caler quality an d increased ex- posure latitude.
