Taylor is a livestock producer in Enniskillen, Ontario. "Controlling the export of beef and pork will put chaos into the market place," pro- tests Taylor. "It is regrettable that the Federal government yielded to the artificial pres- sures of the opposition and the media. Yesterday, the government cut off all exports of live cattle and hogs, fresh, chilled, and frozen pork and beef. A permit system is promised so existing orders can be filled. Taylor claims the permit system could be a long time in coming. "In the meantime, the border is closed, and packers are jumping at the chance to slice a few dollars off the price to the farmer." He warned, "The result of interfering in the market place is a slap in the face to farmers. It does not take many blunders like this to destroy the confidence of farmers in the future, and could ultimately reduce the supply of meat on the market. This is no idle threat today, when meat supplies are al- ready tight. "Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau admits that the rail strike is increasing the cost of food. He would be doing something constructive if he brought the strike to an immediate end so that food can be distributed across the nation. Curtailing exports merely adds more disruption to an already chaotic market- ing system." NEWCASTLE STEERING COMMITTEE While a steering committee, composed of representatives from all four municipalities, work behind the scenes to transfer information to the new government, candidates for the first counéil of the Town of Newcastle will be getting ready to file nominat- ion papers. Nominations will be receiv- ed on Sept. 7 and Sept. 10 for the six council seats and the mayor. Three members of the council will also sit on the Durham Regional Council, along with the Mayor. Voters',lists have already been posted and appeals are being heard from Aug. 21 to 28. Election day is Oct. 1. Making up the town will be the townships of Clarke and Darlington, The Town of Bowmanville and the Village of Newcastle. Making up a steering com- mittee are Mayor Ivan Hobbs and clerk Jos. Mcllroy, of Bowmanville Reeve Garnet Rickard and clerk Walter Rundle, of Darlington, Reeve Ted Woodyard and clerk -oiace Best, of Clarke Town- ship, and Reeve A.R.Gray and clerk .Gertrude Gray, of New- castle. The committee, among oth- er duties will provide an inventory of municipal pro- perty, including land holdings and machinery and will list such other items, as tax arrears, capital debts and reserves. They will also attempt to consolidate by-laws that are common to all four municipa- lities anîd will make recom- mendations for the remuner- ation of the new council mem bers. The Orono Hydro Commis- sion met on Friday evening of last week when they gave their final approval to the expenditure of over $15,000. for work to be undertaken within the business section of the Police Village of Orono. The work when completed will eliminate overhead hydro lines in the business section with the first stage to be completed this year, that of eliminating the overhead-lines on the west side of the main street in the business section. At the same time they will install extra lighting in the business section with a num- ber of new lights to be included on the west side of the street. The Orono Police Village will bear the cost of the new street lights in an amount of around $2,500.00. The Police Village will also construct new side walks along the west side of - the street from Mercer's Garage south to the M&M Variety Store. The Orono Hydro is now to seek approval for the expend- iture from Ontario Hydro and also seek participation in the program from Community Telephone Company who have a sizeable cable running down the west side of the main street in the business section. It is the hope of the commission that this work will be completed this year. This accomplishment depends on approval from Hydro and participation by the Telephone Company in also placing their lines in this section under- ground. Within the next two or three years the Hydro Commission is hopeful that all hydro and telephone lines from Station Street to Main and Mill intersection will be placed underground and that new lighting will be installed within this area to give better lighting to the section. Kendal news On Friday night August 17th the drought ended with an electric storm and torrential rains. Severe erosion took place along some roads. The road north of Mr. R. L. Bullen had the ditches very deeply gullied out. Sorry to hear that Mr. Martin Foster is in Port Hope Hospital suffering from high blood pressure. Mrs. E. Carscadden is in Peterborough Hospital with pneumonma. At the Clarke Museum this month is a marvellous stamp collection. It shows the stamps issued to commemorate the great events in Canadian history;such as the opening of the St. Lawrence seaway. A copy of letters received on memorable occasions is also there. All those interested in stamp collecting should see them. Another hobby that leads to interesting contacts is the making of a family tree. In fact one becomes so interested in tracing his ancestory that he may visit the old land, look up the coat of arms of the clan etc. like Mr. Sid Rutherford did. This writer knew that her mother's name was McBride and that three brothers of that name crossed the Ocean in 1831. The voyage by sail boat was very long and stormy. One borther Richard McBride was married and one little daughter died and was wrapp- ed in the Union Jack and buried at sea. They came by NEW FALL FASHIONS Just arrived! Fall fashions for ladies! Now is the time to think about your wardrobe for fall. Corne in and look over our new dresses, slacks, sweaters and pant tops. Smart back-to-school styles. A RMSTRONG'S boat to Cobourg where two brothers stayed. Richard went on with his family to London, Ontario. He became the May- or of London. Then twins were born in London, one died but one lived and later became Mayor of C algary. One fine summer day a picnic was planned. It began with a boat trip on the Thames River. Richard MeBride and his family were on the first boat but it was overcrowded so Richard said, "I'll wait for the next boat and he did." The second boat was also crowded but the gay crowd left the shore happily. When they were in deep water something attracted the crowd (it may have been another boat) and they all ran to one side and down went the boat and many lives were lost including Mayor Richard McBride. Now this writer had often read of the boat that went down on the Thames River in. the early days with the people going to a Sunday School picnic but not till this week did I learn that a McBride was one of the victims. The Kendal U.C.W. decided not to have a bazaar this year. The word "not" was omitted last week. Mrs. Julia Jackson has returned from a two weeks motor trip to the Maritimes with mr. and Mrs. Ton Davis and family of Peterborough (nee Kathleen Jackson). CONSTRUCTION TENDERS CALLED IN TWO WEEKS Tenders will be called in two weeks time for construction of the Bewdley by-pass road. Construction is to start defin- itely this year.
