CROSS WALKS BEING A TTEND ED Starting this week th-e school cross walks which have been placed at various road crossings in Orono are being attended. Student cross walk guards were on duty Monday to conduct an orderly crossing of the streets by the students. To say the least it was much more orderly and a definite improvement over the past few months. A worthwhile undertaking. CN TOWER IN VIEW Both Mike Sawyer and James Lowery have reported of · late that it is possible to see the new CN Tower in Toronto from their properties north of the Village. Who would have thought a few years back that Toronto would be visible from Orono. Its a small world in many respects. TWO CHIMNEY FIRES Fortunately the Orono fire department has not been as busy as their counter-parts in Bowmanville. During fire prevention week the local department had two calls both chimney fires with no damage to property. The fires were report at the home of J. J. DenHollander and D.

Miss Piehl was the eleventh death resulting from car accidents in this area over the past yar.lThe area is located about one and a half miles south of Hwy. 115 and 35 junction. The inquest will be held if the doctor and crown attorney Bruce Affleck agree that no criminal charges will be laid as a result of the accident. SIthas been stated that the police force is bewildered by the number of traffic deaths in this area this year. Condit. ions on the road are the same as the previous year when there were no fatal accidents To continue with school Due to cost and time the Northumberland and New castle Board of Education hai decided that they will contin- ue with the work of renovating the old Bowmanville High School as a Senior Elemen- tary school for the town and district. The decision was made following the compiling of information from the in- surance company and other consultants. It was expressed that the cost would rise to start over on a new building altogether and that valuable time would be lost in so doing. The school. since work has started, was first damaged with w'ater to an extent of $81,000 and more recently by fire. It is expected that the school can still be opened on schedule. 13-year-old Samuel James Battams of 81 David Crescent in Orono Estates was killed Friday evening about 6.00 p.m. while he was bicyclhng west on the Taunton Road. The OPP believe the boy swerved out into the traffic while travelling on the road. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Memoriat Hospital in Bowmanville. Samuel James Battams. was a grade seven pupil at the Orono Public School. The funeral was held on Monday. French being well received The French immersion pro- gram of a pilot nature and being undertaken in Cobourg has been reported as progres- sing very favourably. It has also been stated that some parents in the Bowman- ville and Campbellford areas have expressed interest in the scheme. There bas been some dis- cussion concerning the future direction of french in the schools and this will be discussed fur ther. VIES, OCTOBER 23rd, 1974 Vote against region study Last Wednesday after three votes the council of Durham Region voted to shelve any study in regards to a perman- ent site for the regional headquarters. The first vote saw council turn down the proposal to make the study. A second standing vote was recored as a tie vote with a (Continued page 3) Members of the Orono Home and School Club as well as parents were introduced to a little bit of' the future on Tuesday evening of last week when they were introduced to coming Metric system of measurement. The introduc- tion to the new system was held in bhe Orono Public School at a reglar meeting of the Home and School. The audience was first shown a film concerning the Lodges appeal to' Premier J. Davis John Liptay, an Oshawa School teacher and a property owner in the Town of New- castle is now seeking assis- tance from the Premier of Ontario, John Davis, to obtain a' building permit from the town to build his new home in Haydon. Liptay has sent a telegram to the Premier asking his help stating "no one locally will help me". Mr. Liptay bas been refused a permit from the Town of Newcastle due to the fact that the property on which he intends to build his home does not face onto an improved road. Neither is the property properly zoned to allow a residential building on it. Mr. Liptay did obtain a severance from the Regional Committee of Adjustment. At a recent meeting of council Mr. Liptay promised u up-giade the road to an amount of $5,000 and at that time asked council to accept his word that the work would be done so that he could obtain a building permit to allow him to start construction of the house. Following the meeting the Department of Public Works viewed the condition of the unimproveçi road and estimated that it would cost a sum of some $20,000 to bring the road up to standard. Mr. Liptay said they are playing a political game and that the road could be up-graded with a lot less cost. Monday Mr. Liptay said a Ministry of Housing official had given him the opinion that the Town had been negligent when it did not express disapproval when the Dur- haM Region Land Division Committee initially separated the land. Committee aproves local lot levies The Newcastle Planning Advisory Committee has giv- en their approval to th.e collection of lot levies in the Town. These levies are sirmil- ar to those in existance in the Town of Bowmanville. The Committee did not follow the suggestion of their Town Planner, George Howden, who had recommended higher levies in the new town. His suggestins were in effect cut in half. A single family dwelling will pay $600 a semi-detached or duplex dwelling will pay $600, atfown or row house will pay $600, a bachelor aprat- ment will pay $150, a one bedroom $300 a two bedroom metric system and the ap- proach being taken in , the school in this regard. It was pointed out that it is not the intention to relate the metric system to the present system of measurement but rather acquaint one with the new measurements and to foster the feel and sight of the new measurements. Following the film the adults tooks part in a game- lesson type course in which $450 a three or more bedroom $600 and a senior citizen unit $150. The town will also collect a $250 severance fee, while the lot levies will also be augu- inented by regional charges for sewer, water and works services. The levies were adopted as interim levies for Newcastle, and will be studied and possibly changed when a full economic study is done in the future. The committee, however, did accept Mr. Howden's recommendation that New- castle collect five percent of the land value in lieu of parks (Continued page 3) they became familiar with the different systems of measure- ments under the metric scheme. Mr. D. Moffatt, principal at the school stated that the approach being taken by the parents on this particular night was the same as was being foster for the students of the school. Generally everyone seemed to agree that the meeting had been informative and that the new system might not be as troublesome as firstbelieved. care centre approved
