I was part- îcularly interested in the assessment of the McL,àugh- lin Art Gallery in Oshawa. I agree with you that it must be realized that this is the only gallerv of its kind in flurham. 1 personally b)enetit from its servic~es as do ail the students and teachers at Orono Public School. We are taking advant- ag e of their monthly exhibits available at any school that ,wishes to participate. At the beginning of each month., Mr. Moffatt calîs at the Gallery for a display of art work which we bang in the school. This lias been a. valuable experience and we have enjoyed a wide range of ar't: DRAWINGS, POSTERS WATER COLOURS, charcoal drawings and grap- hics, some'by the Old Masters others by contemiporarv ar- According to an interview with Councillor Kenneth "KEL", Lyaîl of Ward tbree in-the New Town of Newcastle over the week-end, tenders for the well pumping station nortb of the former village of Newcastle and related supply mains were opened in Toronto Tbursday. Now tbe interesting quest- ion arises, Mr. LyaîI said," and that is, under Regional Government, how is this work going to be pai for -- and who is going to do the paying?'" Mr. Lyall said that five tenders were opene.d at the Ministry of Environment of- fices .and the tender prices ranged from a high of $121,086 submitted by William Hoî l- ingsowrth and Sons Ltd., of Gormnley to a, Iow bid of $102,76 put in by Korsan Ltd., of Cobourg. ther tender s were $114,797 from Davidoff C onstruction of Peterborough; $106,977 from Tripp Construction Ltd., of Oshawa and $103,939 from Hadovic Construction Ltd., of Port Credit. The low bidder, Korsan Ltd, set a 40-week t ime schedule for the completion of the job. Next step will be for the consulting engineers, Kilbron Engineering Limited to, eval- uate the tenders and then recommiend one of them to the Ministry of the Environment. According to John Thiel of Kiborn Engineering Ltd., the ï Government takes about two months to make a final- decision and works should- start in about thrée months. Actual construction of the well pumpingstation sbouîd take about 6 weeks and about 2 weeks for the water- mains. Speaking -of financing the project Mr. Lyall said "The real ineresting factor con- cerning this water works enterprise wîll be the answers to the questions, how and who is going to pay for this project."' 1Contînuing Mr. Lyall stated that it was a fact that the planning and design for this well project was started durîng the term of office of the former Village of Newcastle Council. He then pointed out Section 56 of Bill 162, the Region of Durhamr Municipal- ity Act. This section of the Act states that witb respect to any agreements entered with by any municipality or local board thereof in the Regional area for the supply and distribution of water, the Regional Corporation -shal, on the first day of January ",The People Speak"# tists such as Harold Town. Anyone in the community is welcome, to drop in to enjoy the exhibits. An organization that supplies sucb a service must be considered a regional facility. Yours sincerely, Dorothy Robinson Dear Mr. Forrester: I thought there, might be a news item for you in the Fedc raI Government's recent an- nouncement of a grant under the New Horizons Programn to the Cartwright Senior Citizens of Blackstock. As you probably know, the New Horizons Program is to assist retired persons with projects to benefit themselves and their communities. 1The Cartwright Senior. Cit- izens applied for, and are to receive, a grant of $5,585.00. There are some 150 members in'the organization, and they will use the grant to expand and improve their quarters, inèluding the installation of a kitchen and recreation facilit- les. Yours very truly, Allan Lawrence, M.P. Northumberlan d-Durham BY SHELLEY LOUCKIS The topic of abortion bas )een someýat of a concern to nlost p arents, with eitber legal or moral implications. The question stili stands - should it or sbould it not be legalized? Now, people are in even more of an uproar, because of the Ontario Government's stand on letting sixteen year olds obtain a abortion withouf Varentai consein. i. 111wîîat. botbers them even more is the "go ahead" opinion of Wil- liam Davis, our so called "1peri»issive premier."~ When Mrs. Carl Sharp was asked 'for her opinion, she replied, "I think the govern- ment is out of their minds!". She says they would be pushing the kids to grow up too fast. But, she added there are two cases wbere abortion would be permissable. The first one is if the girl is raped. Then it is a necessity because you neyer know what the cbild will turn out to be like. The second exception if that wbere it is the choice of either the motber's or the child's life. However, it should be lef t up to the individual parent. .It would depend on wbetber or nôt the mother is wili ing to give up ber life for ber baby. If the geyernment is going' to make a law about sixteen year old's abortion, they stand in the place and stead of sucb municipality or local board for aIl purposes of any sucb agreement. Therefore, Mr. Lyall stated "Though the work was con- tracted by the former Village of Newcastle Council, it wouîd appear through Section 56 of Bill 162 that these waterworks will be a responsibility of the Regonal Governmnent of Dur- ham. In conclusion Mr. Lyall stated 'tbat he would be discussing these questions at the Regional Council level Wednesday. It becomes f ree as'soon as you or your spouse turn 65.

It isn't that, she is against abortion alto- gether it is just that a sixteen year old isn't emotionally equipped to make a decision as such. The arguable point is not, at this time, about abortion itself, but wbetber or not the government bas the right to interfere witb a decision that sbould be1 left up to the parents.
