Altbougb the decision is not yet final ail prescrit municipal couincîls have passed their agreement to the ward systemn. Reee R. Woodyard, noted one important factor or conisideration for the future and that was iri regards of corsidering one area such as larke compared to Newcastle. île sa id we wili ail be one area and counicîllors sbould consîder thîs irin ahl their decîsions. We believe tIis should bc easy fo accomplisb as if apparently bas been so in the County systemn of Educatiori This sy stem will give eacb area Witbir the new municipality somle irepresentation on, botb tiers of goveraiment. Many have expressed a conc.(eri- in the past few weeks that such centres as Bowanvlleor Drigo couid rate ail representafiori if the cou-nillors were selectedon an are-wide basis. This is notlikely to hiappen. / Oshawa bas rejected the ward system but according to the Province they are to have a ward system to cboose, their couincllors. t was the feeling of Oshawa that the ward system does in a mariner eliminate sonîe good counicillors from gaining a seat on counicil. Tbey felt if was better f0 select the best countcllors no matter fromn what area in the cify they came rather thanl placýing empbasis on representation for individual areas. Furfb-er fhey staf e that a good counicillor does goveî n for the overaJ1 benefit of the entire community. Bofh systemrs have the ir good points but if does appear that initialiy the ward'sysf cm is the best for th(- Town of Newcastle.

Deputy-Reeve Kirk Entwis- le stafed somefime ago that he would not be a candidate for council under the regional system as be had bis own, business to operate and that under the regional system a councillor could find himself with a full fime job.'11e said that being a member of Clarke couricil did require consider- able fime but that it was possible to arrange this time. As of last week Reeve Garnet Rîckard of Darlington had not declared his intentions onie way or another. Rickard bas often been mentioned as the likely mayor of Newcastle as well as the possibility of beirig regional chairman. The latter is an appointment to be inade by tbe cabinet of the provincial government. Mayor Ivan Hoobs of Bow- manilile as weli as Reeve J A. Bell of Bowmanviile are at this time making no comment on their intentions. From reports' it also appears that Reeve Afred Gray of New- castie bas littie intention in runnirig for any position under the regional system.

I would also like to thank the Library Board for giving me the opportunity of showing xpy pictures in such delightful surroundings. The experience bas been most gratifying, and people (from out of town in particular), are full of praise for our library and museum as a whole, and for the way in which the building is being used. Also at this time, the Board and staff should be commend- ed for its policy of promoting films, shows, lectures, etc, as this policy provides much needed encouragement and recognition for people such as myseif. Thanks also for the com- mission to do a painting of the library. I may wait for fal colours before attempting this as 1 understand you do not need this painting in the immediate future. Enclosed is a small gift *which cari be used at your discretion. Your sincerely, Ma ureen Remington Mr. Roy Forrester Editor Orono Week ly Times Orono.
