The plays (Continued page -5 Two fire false alarms Both the Newcdstle Village and the Orono Departments of the Newcastle Fire Depart- ment received false alarms on Sunday evening at midnight. The Newcastle alarm, which proved false, came exactly at midnight while the false alarm to the Orono Depart- ment came at 12.03 early Monday morning. The Orono Department was referred to a fire at the Sales Barn and asked to answer the call swiftly. Both calls were answered but in neither case was there a fire. Rice Report Termed "Prejudiced~ "Prejudiced" was the way Dr. H.R. Rowsell, member of the Planning Advisory com- mittee described a report made by Planner George Howden on the proposed Wilmot Creek Cove Retire- ment Park. Mr. Howden listed fourtenn reasons in his recommendat- ions, why the modular home developments should be re- jected, but Dr. Rowsell op- " - Rowsell posed those which he felt he was ina position to under- stand. The report almost omits any possibilities of a social life for the residents of the development, and states that this segregation of one age group from the community is undesirable.

Those supporting the motion were Muir, Lancaster, Moffatt, Lyail and Entwisle. Those opposed to the motion were Rowsell, Balsan, Rickard and Heatherington.

Margie, it turned out, went water-skiing last Monday in the north-Cyprus resort of Kyrenia and as she came ashore, she head the first news of the coup that had ousted Archbishop Makarios. A greek-Cypriot family pro- vided her with shelter and translated the bulletins as they came over the local radio. ROADBLOCKS She told reporters later that what terrified her most was the return trip to Nicosia and the airport and the roadblocks along the way. On the trp from the resort' she was topped six times, order to raise her hands and searched. The road trip from Kyrenia to Nicosis usually takes about a half-hour but the roadblocks manned by young Gree-Cyp- riot militiamen brandishing lethal weapons, turned the trip into a four-hour ordeal, she said. But, she said, the soliders did not disturb the Canadian vacationers who had been rounded up by the United Nations personnel for the trip back to Germany in the Canadian Hercules. Miss Tyrrell who landed in Lahr last Thursday, said she heard shooting on the island on Thursday although the curfew had been eased. At the beginning of the week, there was a four p.m. curfew and stragglers after that time risked being shot on sight. "I am very relieved at being ouf," she said. "I think we al] are." She was no more relieved than Mrs. Tyrrell who had been awaiting word of. her safe return to Lahr and had heard no word at ail. (Continned frmm nne 1)
