Orono Brownies Brownies were divided into 3 groups. One group skipped "Irish", another skipped "Double Dutch", and the third practised target hitting Qvith a bail. After every Brownie had a few tries at each one they went to their corners, took up the collection marked attendance and in- spected uniforms. After re- porting on above they formed the Fairy Ring, repeated the Brownie Promise, Law and Motto. Each six sang their special song around the toad- stool. Heather Watson and Sandra Dennis told about Brownies in Other Lands. For their Brownie work one group with Spotted Owl plan- ned a hike for Saturday. Another group practised sem- aphore, some worked on dip-it flowers and others tried throwing and catching a bal correctly. Those who passed were - Tammy Sparks, Janet- te Tansley, Naomi Brown, Lori Lycett, Nancy Cwan, Wendy Stacey, Colleen McLeod, Charlene Jackson, Kim and Melanie Maxworthy, Janet Stevenson, Jill Simpson Sonya Brachvogel, Nancy Bridger and Dawn Lane. Heather Watson, Sandra Dennis, Kathy Bambrick, Krista Brady and Karen GUy passed their sign language which has been taught by Susan Goode. Three Guides then took over meeting. Eleanor McKn- , Shelley Lycett and Kerry Grady passed their campfire Leader Badge tested by Nancy Forrester. Tbey taught 2 action songs, "Little Peter Rabbit" and "My Bonnie", a round "Canoe Song" and a skit - "First Night at Camp." 1They were helped by Kathy Bambrick and Karen Atkins and closed the meeting with "Kuym Ba Yah." On Saturday at 11:30 a.m. the Brownies assembled at Newcastle services allow little expansion Newcastle Village's water and sewage service limitat- ions have been hampering the community's development since before the inception of regional government, but spotted "infill" housing deve- lopment can still take place sine it is largely out of the control of the new town's council. Newcastle Planner George Howden, has said there are some 80 lots within the already developed portion of the village which are vacant, properly zoned and ripe for infill development. Even though the present water and sewage situation is rather delicately balanced and only slightly more than adequate to meet immediate future demands, Mr. Howden, said the matter of infill development "is out of our hands. There's nothing we could do to stop- that." Perhaps of more concern than the limited infill that will probably take place over a period years in the village, is the possible strain of two proposed subdivisions totall- ing some 140 new bouses on the available services. These two subdivisions, pro posed by Milani and Vierhout, the Town Hall for a Brownie Bicycle Hike. Those who went are Kathy Bambrick, Sandra Dennis, Shelley Gray, Heath- er Watson, Melanie Cowan, passed their Cyclist badge, Explorer's Badge and will have.completed their Friends to Birds. We built a campfire and roasted hot dogs, and went on an 1 Spy walk. Mrs. Bambrick came to test the brownies on their badges and we would like to thank Mrs. Bambrick at this time for coming. had received the approval of the former village council, and approval from the minis- try of housing in Queen's Park, but were forestalled by Newcastle council, when it was decided council should have some kind of input into the municipality's overall development. According to Newcastle's consultant plànner John Lay- ng, the future of these two developments looks rather bleak, since additional water services could not be provided to the village, until such time as a water works supply system taking water from Lake Ontario could be built. In a report on the service capacities of the.village, Mr. Layng referring to the pro- duction of the surface well now operating and the predic- ated output of more wells to be dug, said there is some doubt as whether these ser- vices are·adequate for the village. For the past two years about 1,500 people on 42 services have used about 50,000 gallons per day or 35 gallons per person per day, he said in the report. But with the completion of tbe new sewage works, slated for May of 1974, the water consumption is expected from evidence in similar commun- ities, to'increase to about 80 gallons per person per day, said the report. Since this amount of water will be used only at certain hours of the day, when people are awake and in need of it, at breakfast and supper times the actual rate of water supply may reach a peak hourly rate of 250 gallons, said the report. The existing surface well now in operation in the village turns out about 72 gallons per minute and with a second well scheduled to be in operation sometime in October of this year, the combined product- ion of the two wells is therefore, expected to be about 221,680 gallons per day, barely enough to meet the projected demands of the present population, said Mr. Layng in his report. In addition, Mr. Layng also said in the report the first well is due for overhauling, which would put it out of operation for about six weeks. Another consideration is the need for water supply to the fire department for fire pro- tection, said Mr. Layng. On the basis of Mr. Layng's report which confirms and details a situation long exist- ant in the village, Newcastle's planning advisory has taken steps to recommend council not approve either the ap- 1 proximate 100 lot Milani subdivision or the 40 lot Vierhout subdivision.

In the majority of cases I would rather charge the parents, Policewoman Anne Crawford told thé members of the Whitby Kiwanis Club Thursday, as she spoke ofhber work in cases of shoplifting, break and enter, assaults and property damage. Since November 1969, Pol- icewoman Crawford bas worked with six male officers in tbe youth bureau of the police department, whibch deals with children under 16. In 1973, when sber was working for the Oshawa police department, she interviewed more tha'n 4,500 juveniles under 16 in the city alone. Now that she is with the Durham Region police, ber responsi- bilities take ber to all parts of the region. Occurrences with juveniles have increased said Crawford who attributed the cause in part to both parents in many families working, and ' no proper supervision for the children. But despite the increase in ber duties, she finds ber work very challeng- ing and. rewarding. Policewoman Crawford's audience Thursday night in- cluded the wives of Kiwanis members, who had manv questions for ber. They learned that although she has received weapons training, she does not carry a revolver, but it is possible she would be issued one on a special assignment. I carry a billy and a pair of handcuffs, and I have had to use them she said. Although she has not had. judo training, she is trained in self defence. Many of Policewoman Craw- ford's duties are involved in shoplifting cases where a uniformed officer will take'in a child to the youth bureau for an interview with the parents.

A child is never fingerprinted, and the affair is a private matter between the parent and child. A juvenile does not get a criminal record, Policewo- man Crawford explained, for when he reaches 16 the yough bureau record is obliterated. In response to a question about fingerprinting persons over 16, she said the finger- prints are destroyed if the person's case is dismissed in court. Another part of Policewo- man Crawford's work is in sexual morality cases. She explained that a young girl involved in such a case would be more likely to speak with a women officer than a man. Also it is best to have a woman officer search femalE prisoners, she said. Policewoman Crawford works shifts at the youth bureau but is on call 24 hours a day. Although based in Oshawa,sbe has had to travel às far as Uxbridge on. a number of occasions -to work on cases. Unlike other officers on the force, she does not walk a beat. POWEDER PUFF? To il'ustrate the role of a woman in police work, Pol icewoman Crawford showed a film entitled The Powder Puff Patrol, which outlines the work of women officers in Metropolitan Toronto. Among the jobs they had were acting as decoys in parks where molesters have been active and playing the part of a woman being blackmailed when the money is to be paid. Women officers also direct traffic, work with children and assist in rounding up street walkers the film ex- plained. Policewoman Crawford told the Kiwanis members there are 65 women on the Toronto force, a quarter of whom are married, the majority being married to police officers.
