Everyone enjoys kinette house tour The Great Pine Ridge Kmette Club house tour held imthe Orono and Leskard area last Saturday was a most enjoyable and successful e- vent. It is estimated that close to 200 took advantage of the tour and purchased tickets for the tour. Al people on the tour expressed their enjoyment and expressed the hope that it would become an annual event in the community- The tour offered visitors an opportunity to see many things and ideas including architecture ranging from a modern split level with Span- ish decor to a fieldstone bouse with the original pine floorimg dating back to 1860. The interiors of some of the homes had been extensively renov- ated, such as making two small rooms into one large roon or puttîng in a fireplace, thus showing what can be done to beautify an older home. In addition there were original paintings, collections of antique glassware and lamps and Canadiana furni- ture which had been refinish- ed. Ail this was done by the talented owners. The Kinettes are indebted to the ladies who very gracious- iy opened their homes to the public and for making us so .welcome, without these people the Kmnette success would not have been possible. The Kinettes say 'Thank You'. Hassie over fire hall Council on Monday evening was about to give approval to a Community Service Commit tee report which included a recommendation that an en- gineering firm or architect be selected to prepare prelimin- ary plans for a new fire hall in the Village of Newcastle when a sometime heated debate opened following a question by Coun. Entwisle to where the building was to be constructed. Courn. Allin, chairman of the Committee said it was likely that it would be built on the site of the present fire hall. At this point Coun. Lyall moved an amemdment to the report that it be built on Mill Street. Coun. Hobbs appealed to council to first give the location some thought.

In fact some of the counci-e lors and staff at the meeting said the report was far ahead of the province in specific ideas about how best to handle the elderly. The scene was a meeting in council chambers between the committee and a delegation from both the finance and planning and development commit tee. It bas been called to discuss the report.

Last Monday the mess- age was brought home to the members of the finance committee for the Town of Newcastle when the meeting was interrupted due to one of the blasts. Councillor Hobbs stated that he had received some complaints from residents and that sorne in the area of the cement plant had contact- ed their insurance compauy over the matter. The blasts are part of the quarry operation at the ce- ment plant. An accident last week at Morrish on Highway 401 had the highway closed off for a period of time while bricks and debris was cleared from the east bound lane of the road. Total damage was estimat- ed at $47,000 to two trucks involved in the accident. A truck travelling east carrying furniture.burst into flames in the cab with the driver losing control and running into another truck carrying bricks. There was no injury to either driver. The furniture truck was totally destroyed by the fire with $40,000 damage while $7,000 in danage was estimated to the truck carry- ing the bricks. Community halls stimulute debate The council of the town of Newcastle found themselves divided when the Social ser- vices comrnittee recommend- ed that the Ontario Fire Marshall be requested to conduct a lire protection survey in the community and report to council on a confi- dential basis, Councillors Lyall, Wearn andHobbs voted against the recommendation with Coun- cillors Entwisle, Allin and Tink voting in favour. Mayor Rickard supported the re- commendation and the survey is to be conducted. Coun. Lyall stated that it would be like throwing a fox into a chicken house and stated that he knew more about fire protection than anyone in the Fire Marshall's office . . "don't let them past Oshawa", he said. Counc. Hobbs said "You are going to be shoot down if you let this survey go ahead. Coun. Allin asked council if they were not concerned over the safety of those in the community and said it would be a disservice to the com- munity not to have the survey especially' since it was not going to cost the Town a cent.
