Hoid·joint meeting to discuss marshi Last week a joint meeting was held between the threE levels of government along with the Oshawa Chamber and Conservation Authority being represented. The Mayor of Oshawa, the Harbour Commission and the Oshawa Chamber were all in support of the second march being developed as a port for deep sea ships. All others at the meeting were concerned over the fact that the marsh would be turned into a port for the area with no consideration towards the natural environ ment for which this marsh is now noted. Oshawa has sii ice 1968 out been planning to have an ocean port deve loped in the marsh to meet the needs of expanding indu stry in the area. The province recently made some approac b. with the marsh being iriacluded in an expanded recrei itional area to the exisiting Dai 'lington Park. The conflict w Il 11 nodoubt continue betwe<en the two differsified grou îps over the use of the marsh for the future.

Incorrect connection can cause sparks to fly, and since small quantities of hydrogen gas are given off at the negative plate of a battery, can easily be the cause of an unexpected and disastrous explosion that showers the nearby area with battery acid. How to jump a battery is a part of the "Do it Yourself" safety package for 1974 being sponsored by the Canada Safety Council, made avail- able through employers, re- tailers, organizations and in- stitutions. The safety council reminds drivers that a few dollars spent on preventive mainten- ance now can save hundreds later!

Maple Syrup tine in Canada The sweetest sound of spring, in many parts of eastern Canada, is the trickl- ing of sap from thousands of maple trees. Whether it lands in the traditional bucket or the more moder storage tank. its destiny is the same -- to become that ambrosial food known as maple syrup. It's a good time to shake off prepare district official plans, if had not made any agree- ment to have over any municipal planning powers to Newcastle or any other area municipality. "There's been no formal agreemtn from the region as to planning, he said as is required by Bill 162, esta- lishing the Durham/ Region. Coun. Kirk Entwisl e' nized the need for clarificat- ion on the matter, but deplored the suggestion that since council had no power of planning it shouidn't do any- thing. He said, 'We have to take the initiative in planning matters. I think it's wrong to do anything but object to the region taking over planning, he said. Ignoring Coun. Lyall's ac- cusations that Newcastle council bas no planning auth- ority beyond the preparation of a district plan, the other members of council voted to refer the matter to the planning committee. Track conditions at the Kawartha on Sunday was rather heavy with the fastest tme of the day being 2.18.1-5 by Johnnv Ring in the ninth race.

From mid-March to late April each year, farmers from western Ontario (near Sault Ste. Marie) to NoVa Scotia and New Brunswick, reap their special harvest -- more than 1,500,000 gallons of maple syrup. Many of them hold informal parties to which the public is invited. It's an excellent opportunity to view the mod- ern and traditional methods of milking the trees and boiling the sap, to sample some of the delicious maple syrup and sugar products and perhaps to buy more for use at home. Nurseries status to be checked Durham's social services committee has instructed commissioner Doug Johns to write Queen's Park to deter- mine if day care centres now opeating as private nurseries in Uxbridge, Cannington and Brock qualify for provincial subsidy. The directive was given at Thursday's committee meet- ing in Oshawa. The committee is consider- ing a $10,000 grant to the'. centres, if the grant qualifies for provincial subsidy.

GAINS FIFTY SCORING POINTS IN THE AHL Steven West playing with New Haven in the American League gained fifty goals during the season. Steven scored his fiftieth goal with only one minute and 12 seconds left in the last game of the season. New Haven finishing in third place in the league now plays Rochester in the first round of the play- downs series. New Haven has only defeated Rochester ondé in the last two seasons. Tots Nursery School in Ux- bridge wrote to the region a few weeks ago claim-ing the centre is operating at a loss and asking that it be taken over by the region. Durham Region already operates five day care centres' located in Oshawa, Whitby Ajax and Pickering, but there are no public centres north of the city limits. While considering the Ux- bridge request Thursday, the commitce decided to include the centres in Cannington and Brock as well. If the province says the tthree nurseries qualify, the committee will recommend to council that a full time teacher be hired to supervise the three centres, and that the present part time staff con- tinue to work as in the past. The committee will also recommend that existing con- tracts with private nurseries be continued. Coun. Ken Matheson (Pick- ering) explained that when public day care centres have reached capacity arrange- ments have been made to accommodate the ovePow in private centres. This practice will continue at last year's rates until new contracts are drawn up and approved if council acc- the commitee recommer lon. Region withholds support of culture NO REGION OPERATING. udANTS FOR WHITBY ARTS OR OSHAWA SYMPHONY Durpam region council bas refused ta give a capital grant to Hostel Services. of Oshawa, or operating grants to the Oshawa Symphony or the Whitby Arts Incorporated as a preliminary number of grants, totalling $28,169 was passed on Wednesday. The grant list came out of the finance committee for council approval and Coun. Des. Newman (Whitby) was the first to bis feet to ask that Whitby Arts Incorporated be included at an amount to be established by the finance committee. He said the group has 230 members, only 120 of whom come from Wlfitby, 64 come from Oshawa, 15 from Pick- ering, and two from Clare- mont others from Toronto. He said the station had 2,400 visitors last year, 75 percent of whom came from areas outside Whitby. This is a new region, said Coun. Jim Potticary (Osha- wa). We should consider all aspects, not just the sewers and the odd mile of road, but part of the culture. We should consider this the same as the Robert McLau- ghln Gallery. If the whole region is to develop in a healthy way, we must support all aspects of culture, he said. The gallery received a grant of $10,000. :d clarification planning role. . .. . . ........ . . ....... ..... .
