h-h ~ hh~ t ORONO WEEKLY TIllE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17th, 1973 O--RONO WEEKLYTME bcmComm)ent and conceru mnounted last week whenj it beaeknowvn that the CIa-ke Committee of Adjjust- Ment had tendered their resiguationl enmasse to the Clarke Township Council. The Cmnte' ucini uhta it cmuo beshltedtoaray imunlicipal department Or group. It operates independent of council and has full powr in it ecis"ions. The Comittee in thleir letter gave astheir reason for their resignation, whiech in part reads, "Ithat certain unfouncted and ï11 conceived ailegations co-ncenngt' Comnittee of Adjustment have bceen aither made or ac- quieseed in by sitting niemibers of thé Clarke Township Councli." It woulà thus appear that the Conmiîttee was not objecting to action by council as a whole but rather ta cer- tain allegations made by individuals of council. -Reeve Woodyard,, in a prepared report to couneil also referred to what appears, similar conduct. His report contained thé following: "Since this Council took office, and even before, actions by individual members have Caus- ed me conceru. Although, atour first meeting, I did refrain fromn making a stâtement, 1 did caution members as to their responsil>ility to couneil and suggested to cease acting ini an individtual mariner, . *." "Since that time, some undor- tunate and alarming instances have occurred, with 'rumors and accusations being directed and received by individuals which 1 feel have been unjustified,' Humors do have a way with running away with themselves and it is time now to hold the horses and let logic ruie.

Dcputy-recvc Entwisle re- fetrrcd to a meeting with Mr. Lovekiin, who he said also re- -fcrrcd ta tic "grey area," Enit- wisle tien stated that if anyone challengcd the legality of the Committee'andà won it could airer. turri ail the decisions made by the Committec since its inception. Reeve Woodyard said it was un likely an one would. ever, take this action under tie circum. stances. Reeve Woodyard said this was a sertous matter and that as far as he was coucerucd if tuis Com. mnittee w-as not returned there WOU1d( lie nu new Committec. 1He sald.-tue work would have to be referred WtheUi Cotiuty Land Div ision Court and this *ould cert- ainly be an inconven>ienlce.

WVe enteredj the hallowed halls of Clark, a- gain on January 3rd, 1973 after a very refreshing Christmas holi- day. On'our first day back the gym- nasties club held their annual meeting.. Everyone seemed ready to work out on the eqiUipment that was set up in the gymn. on Friday, January 5th the Clarke Senior Basketball team was hack on the courts playing Port Perry. Despite a lot of sup- port from the students and a lot of hard. work on the part of the palyers, we lost. Maybe a reason for their defeat was that Port Perry has a player who is six foot eleven. On Monday, January 8th the 'Draina Club held a meeting. The interest in this club is slowly dwindling, This is toa bail be-, cause some people are doing a lot jof worlc towards it. BecaUse the fIrst weelc has been so short, the teachers started reaIly pour- ing the work on us. Wednesday came around agalin with another gymnasties practice. 1On, Thursdaày there wa: in«her Senior Basketball game against Dunbarton. The score was a lot closer in this gaine. On this saune day. the Junior and Senior Girls Volîcybail teams travelled to BoWmanville. The Junior girls won and the Senior girls showed somf- brillant playing.
