6-OonoWeelyTimes, Wednesday, November 7th, 1973 The following i!s a c.opy of a letter by Mr. Alex Carruthers regarding a complaint by the Town of Durham over setting another community with the name Durham. The Honourable Eric Winkler' Chairman, The Management Board of Cabinet, 7th Floor, Frost Building South, Dear Mr. Winkler: Thank you for providing me with a copy of the correspon- dence and resolution received by your from the Corporation of the Town of Durham. There appears to be a major degree of m-isuniderstanding wihrespect to the adoption, by an oaver-wheiming vote, of the ame of Durhamn for the niew regional muncipality east of Metro. In order to clarify the issue, may I record for you a brief history of Durham County and the significance of the name to the people of the area. The County of Durham was proclairned by Lord Simacoe, Lietutenant Governor of Up- per Canada on the l6th day of July 1972. The proclamation rýeadîng "That the thirteenth of the said counties be hereafter called by the name of the County,, of Durham." Added historical importance is attached to the name by the fact that, whereas Lord Dur- ham's report laid the found- ation for responsible govern- mnt in Canada, it was under t h eBal1dwin-Lafo ntaine governmvent that it was actu- allyestalishd. t is interest- ing to note that the-(,Baldwin Newýýcastle -i'n Durhm outn part of he Homne District' comp)risinig the Counîties of NorhumerlndDurham Yokand Slmncoe. When the Disrit o Nwcatl.,under theBalwinACt, was formed in 1802 Northurnberland and Durham were tranferred to it from theHomeDistiand, on Dcembr .3, 183, wth the seaainof Ontarlo County te UnitLed Counies of Nort- hum-ibeir'lan-danDrhnhe han hae remained unchanged since th-at date. Inaditoto the Baldwins, many Durhamà County citizens have pae prominent roles in the soicial, political and economic life of the Province of Ontario and Canada. These include R.S. Mcbaughlin, founder of General Motors of Canada, thie Bight Honourable Vincent Mlassey, former Go- vernor Genera,-l of Canada and a descendant of the founder of the AMassey-Ferguson Corpor- ation which had its beginning in the village of Newcastle in Durham Coujnty. The imnportant fact, how- ever, is that w,,ith the format- ion o)fthe Region of Durham, nlothing is changed which wouîd create confusion. 'the forerCoutyof Durhamn with its counity system of governmient is joined with part of thie County ofOntarlo and the ci ty of Oshawa to form an expanded system of govern ment. Unlike the new town of Cambridge which was formed from the towns of Gaît, Hespeler and Preston, to create a new urban centre, the Region of Durham will have no post office, railways station or other facilîties identified with urban centres.

Therefore, if the Durham Town corporations and busi-, nesses, referred to in the resolution, have exîsted dur-~ ing the, years of cqunty government wîthout any diffi- culty,' there is no reason to believe that they will lose their identitY under the regional govrnmntwhich, in rnany rsetis sirnpl a expans- ion f te countysytm 'There are many instances in the province where c ounties and urban *centres have the same names without any apparent confusion.
