2-ORONO WEEKLY TIMES,'WEDNESDAY, AUGUS T 22nd, 1973 or on o weekly times Second lass Mail Registration Number 6368 pubiished evewy Thursdayat the office of publication THE BOOM IS HERE Five years ago and even less the Muncipality of Clarke held very littie interest as far as development was concerned but this is now well in the past and if an open-door policy was instituted by the municipality the Township could well be, within a few years, highly developed residentially. Council has before it now two proposais for Retirement Hone schemes which if completed could bring well oveir two tho usands families into the Township. Proposais of a convential nature, and now before the Planning Board could add a'further 400 to 500 families and apparently this is only the beginning. The pressure fromn developers is now on the municipality and the next few months could determine the future of the Township in regard residential development wit1hin the 'muncipality. As Mr. Brown stated at a recent Planning lâoard meeting, "yvou couid have an instant town at Newtonville .. . .it is your decision." It' is true that the municipaiity must now decide its future as far asdevelopment is concerned. The recommendations and proposais -as far as Newtonville is concerned, are welI beyouncl the prpoposals as set forth in the proposed Official Plan.as is the development.of the Retirement homes along the lakefront. Naturaliy things à6h ot stay static and changes have, in the past, have develàped thiscountry to the point that it now reats. The changes in Carke,o' uld at thiý time be qiite, dramatic and extensive and Àt iw as to 'the degree that the municipality rnust take consideration aid make its decision. 0f course the 'province will also havé,somnething to say in thematter when it comes lime for their %ppeoval. Unfortunately the Provinicehavt! given a vague outIiie of Clarke as a Green Beit or Buffer Zone.area-,but as vet have failed to elaborate On just what tbi§ is supposed to be. In the majority of cases throughbout the Townsh ip we would contend that residents wouldl object to a crash plan of development and are quit4 ýatisfied to see the Township rernain, as a rural area wiýth plenjy of open space. Many are also quite concerned on saving farm lànd andwe believe this is a valid decisîon and one to be-upheld. Somne cain yoii cannot hold back development of a residential nature anid that the Township wyill surge ahead with development. This need not be so if the residents and the municipaiity are opposed to such development. The future of this mùunicipaiity, we hope, are still in the hands of those that live within its boundaries and its elected representatives. If developmnents, -as now proposed are approved by the m~uniipality, the door is wide open to a large surge ahead in dd velopmnent for this community. The decision rests with the elected representatives who must now determine the future of the municipality. The pressures from the west are now at hand and this is especially s0 since Bowmanville had had to place a freeze on future residential developme'nt in their community following an unprecedented growth in that centre. PRICES TO REMAIN HIGH For anyone who is looking for a reduction in the cost of food and meat they can be assured that they will be disappoirited. Food prices in the past were more or less constant due to a number of reasons one being the extending technology in farming. Through this technology the farmer has been able toi remain in business, in his modest manner, due to the fact that he has been able to pr9duce more per acre of land. This however, has been tapering o'ff and he must receive more for his products to stay in business and feed the nation. But there are other factors, which, in the majority of cases are ligitimate which are contributing to the cost of foods rising. The rising cost of food wili be the basis of higher negotiation by labour in this next round of wage demands. Once this is establishied, as well it will be, the costs of food cannot return to that of a few months ago as the pattern is set and the cycle is started. Food is a& prime necessity of life, more so than a televeision, a car or a boat and higher costs can be warrented and demanded in this area. Itis one area where we don't reaily mind paying _m ore. 1 H.R. BEST APPOINTED ASSISTANT RETURNING OFFICER H.R.
