It has been stated that the body when found and it is aiso suspected that some three or four bullet holes pierced the heàd. This however bas not as yet been confirmed by the police.

Mrs. Zegers welcomed ail the cbildren, with a special welcome to tbe new ones. She said Spring was just around the corner and had brought a small bouquet to prove this, containing little white snow- drops and daffodil leaves as well as leaves and flower.s from houseplants.

These were. watered then they were told to cover Ihe cup witb Saran wrap, 1sten with an elastic band and put in a sunny window at horne. When lîttie sprouts appear take the covering off. Each member was also given either -a little African Violet or a pink Begonia and they were shown how to plant these in a foam cup. Take good care of these as there is a class for them in the Summer Show. Mrs. Zegers asked how many of the children would be able to have a garden plot or even a planter where they could grow some flowers to put in the Annual Show in August. Tbe seeds will be given ouf at the May meeting so we will try and contact the parents before then. The Horticultural Year hook, as put out by the Senior Society, was given out, one to a family, givmg tbe prize lists for each show and informat- ion about their gardens.

Last week, over a two day period the entire village was given a good going over by the street sweeper with excellent results. Possibly a little faster than in the past. A GOOD SIGN OF SPRING-It doesn't take the younger set long to change over from winter to spring activities. This has been most evident over the past few weeks with tennis now the centre of sporting activities during the late afternoon and evening. It is expected that the new screening around the two courts will soon be erected and then those elusive balls may be contained within the court area. ANSWER TWO FIRE CALLS-On April 11th the local fire department answered a call to Delbert Hallowellsin the Crooked Creek area wbere contents in a small cottage beside the house had caught fire. Although the fire had a good start the department soon had it under control. Mr. Hallowell appearing to be suffering from a stroke was rushed to the hospital where he died on April 12th. The fire department assisted with oxygen until the ambulance arrived. On April 12th the department answered a second call this time to a grass fire on the fourth line east of highway 115. This fire was also brought under control with little effort. Tuesday at Queen's Park outlined the provincial grants to be paid to area municipal- ities. Pickering Mayor Geor- ge Ashe who is also chairman for the finance committee of the Region of Durham has stated that there is almost a $2 million increase to the region over that what was expected. Last year the same area wpuld have received a total of $5.5 million while that allotted to the area this year will amount to $7,329,000. Mayor Rickard of the Town of Newcastle, which muncip- alitiy is the amalgamation of four municipalities, spoke as did others Mayors in the region, that the allottment for Newcastle appeared more than that for the four centres in 1973. He did however ask for more time to study the budget before he would be sure. The Town of Newcastle is to receive a grant of $695,000 for the year 1974. >eni.~uI veimeu,.cuuy school voted ouf At the regular Board meet- ing of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education last Thursday evening the board voted out the idea of constructing a Senior Elementary School for the Hamilton Township Cob- ourg area. Tbe proposal has been before tbe Board for well over a year. The decision to make any move of the proposal bas been shelved for at least one year and now has been thrown out ail together. The proposal became an issue in tbe last election in the Cobourg-Hamilton Township area and those supporting the move appeared not to be successful at the polis. it was the intention to have senior public scbool students both in Cobourg and Hamilton Township 'attend the school wbý'icb w.as to be built in Cobourg. Thetproposalwould have closed a couple of smaller rural schools i Hanilton. The motion to close out the idea was supported by a 10-3 vote. The Federation of Ontario Naturalists, Canada's largest conservation organization, today added its voice to the controversy concerning the fate of Oshawa's Second Marsh, The marsh, located just east of Oshawa, had been the centre of growing controversy for many months. Long re- cognized as the single .most important wetland on the north side of Lake Ontario, the marsh was included in the proposed expansion of Darl- ington Provincial Park. However, that decision has come under heavy attack by Oshawa politicians and bus- inessmen because such an expansion would preclude the development of some indust- rial land and would limit the options available for possible distant harbour expansion. Says F.O.N. rep Mike Singleton, "we regret the desire of the City of Oshawa to achieve and enlarge its in- dustrial base, but it must be pointed out that the marsh is the single most important wetland remaining on the north shore'of Lake Ontario. He continues that "it is q common misconception that the decision is between the 'lHarbour' and the 'marsh'; it is entirely possible to have the harbour located in front of the marsh. And, il is our under- standing that such facilities will provide adequate harbour facilities at least for the time Walter Pitman, Dean of Trent University in Peterbor-- ough, will be the keynote speaker at tbe annaul meeting of the Great Pine Ridge Tourist Council April 27. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m., with dinner at 7 p.m. in the Port Hope Legion Hall. Te dinner will be followed by a" dance. More tban one million tourists spent a total of $30 million in the Great Pine Ridge area during 1973, re- ports George Coling, council president. The Great Pine Ridge TFurist Council won tbe ail- Canada award for tourist promotion for the fifth time in 1973. Fifteen thousand travel guides and 30,000 tourist folders, along with half a million restaurant placemats, period which it is reasonable to predict. He claims that the strident opposition stems from* a desire to keep options open, rather than from existing engineering and economie feasibility studies showing that the marsh could in fact be used for harbour purposes. Indeed, a study by the Federal Department of Public Works shows that there wold be substantial difficulties in building such a harbour. But much more importantly says Singleton, the marsh is very significant ornitholigi- cally, botanically, ecological- ly, recreationaliy, and edu- cationallv. He cites studies Continued page 3 Following requests from several farmers the Durham Federation of Agriculture will hold two public meetings to outline the present situation regarding the proposed trans- mission line from Lennox to Oshawa.

Carman com- nented this tweek that the raising of the ceiling of expenditures per student by, the Provincial government did not mean that the govern- ment had raised their grants to the school boards. He pointed out that the Board is meeting in a special session to study the latest provincial act on Thursday evening of this week. Mr. Carman said he under- stood that the raising of the ceiling was not accompanied with an increase in provincial grant. He furtber said it only, meant that the Board could increase expenditures without fear of penalty from the Province. The extra monies he said, with the information now available, would have to come directly from the tax- payers. He stated that one board has estimated that they are to be worse off than they were before the increasing of the ceiling. The local board is to know the answer later this week. Mr. Carman stated that, when the news was released from the Province he was then under the impression that grants had been also extended but this appears not to be the case. reports this is not the imal line. There could still be some major or minor changes. Dr. Solandt will hold hear- ings in Port Hope in May at which time citizens organiz- ations etc., will have an opportunity to discuss the location of the line.

Dr. J.E. Watt, Director of tbe Environmental Health Ser- vice says that soi conditions in the area are of poor permiability and that high ground water exists. The arena is to be situated immediately west of the Hobbs Senior Public School, and at present the disposai system servicing the school is malfunctioning. The new health unit does not consider the approved dispos- ai system for the arena to be adequate. Not only do they require the enlargement of the disposal system, but also the relocation of the tile bed area to the rear of the building, rather than to the west. p (Continued page 6
