Tbe lively program of music kept everyone entertained and the whole affair bad a most pleasant friendly atmosphere. Congratulations are certainly in order. for the entertainers of the Mr. Fanning and bis recreation department for this outing in the Village. No doubt tbere will be more, in the future and it might be said that otber departments in the' Town could take a lesson from the Recreation Department. Thank you for a job welI done. SOME THOUGHT FOR THE CORE CENTRES A number of time recently Mayor Rîckard of the Town of Newcastle bas referred to tbe effort being placed by the municipality and its committees towards new development. He bas been contending tbose some empbasis sbould be placed on those tbîngs we bave and possible redevelopment in some areas. The Mayor is certainly correct as the tbrust of present plans are ail to new development and little or no consideration bas been given to those areas wbicb may now be on a down bill trend in the older sectors of tbe community. Tbe planning committee is bogged down and 50 is council witb new plans and proposals to tbe point that tbey bave no time for anytbing else. Tbis sbould not be the case entirely and time sbould be allotted to give leadership in redevelopment and otber pbases of tbe community wbicb now exist. Mayor Rickard bas made, the p oint that it appears easier to look to new development to advance rather than plan out programs for existing features. In tbis bie is quite rigbt but until council and the planning comrittee clear tbe boards of new development proposals tbere will be notbing done for tbe beitterment of tbose things that àlready- are in existance. WHAT DID WE EXPECT ....Over tbe week-end President Ford of the United States placed a ban on the import of beef and pork from Canada. Canadian could bardly expect tbe US to do anything else especially since Canada earlier in tbe year placed a ban on cattle coming into Cnada from tbe U.S. t is interesting to note tbat some five or six years ago Canada was talking of free trade witb tbe U.S. It appears it was -~n ideal dream at the time and -probably not' a wortbwbile one as far as Canada was concerned. The Canadian market is'not sucb that production can be geared on an economical basis in some regards and it would appear that tbe U.S. baving tbis basic market in their own country can produce on a more economical basis tban can any industry in Canada. WILL WE VOTE ON DECEMBER 2nd This year -local taxpayers are being called upon to select members. from the community to serve on the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education. Tbis is the only election being beld in this area tbis year other tban tbe Roman Catbolic member who also sit on tbe local board of education. The operation of the scbool system in tbe community is a Tesponsible undertaking and one tbhat involves a consîderable amount of money. Local citizenis should be concerned and sbould take an interest in tbe election and to acquaint tbemselves with tbe views and action of the .candidates. t is surprising when one considers that out of total voting population of somne 5700 only tbree baveé offered to namnes as, candidates in the election. One would consider that more would be interested. Some are already voicing the opinion tbat it will be a light vote as there is no municipal election this year in the area. This was eleiminated with the formation of Regional government whose members are~ elected to office for a three year period. Municipal and education elections will coincide in Decem ber of 1975. Plan now to become acqintffed with your candidates- and set aside the time 10 cast your vote on December 2ncl or eat_ heA-dv---e-poli h__Stud_- f o qalfytovoe t h n ew s The Senior Band played durin g an evening service at Newcastle United Church on Sunday, November lOth, for the church's lSOth annivers- ary. The band was in a hastle trying to position themselves between the pews in the 1balcony, but the problem was finally solved. Four bymns were played during the ser- vice, as well as a few of our own pieces., We felt the absence of some of our members, due to it being a holiday weekend. The Bandls and Choir spon- sored a "Record Hop" dance at the scbool tbis past Friday night. Tbe music was pretap- ed, and the disc-jockey for the *eveing was Jamie Quinton. Th 'e gym was fully decorated, there was a coat check, and the Year Book Committee s old refreshments. The dance was attended by approximat-* ely 280 students. Unfortunate- ly the accident infront of the school entrance caused worry among the students. Pubilicity Dept. AMY MORTON TOWN - GANARASKA (Continued from page 1) to use this corridor and would probably dis.rupt future plann- ing in the ares. Mr. Hodgins of -the Ganar- aska Authority stated that the destruction of the forest would be a step backwords in -the p lan t o preserve the forests of Ontario. He referred to the water storing capacity of the forests and its.contribution to wild life and fish. He stated that. the Authority was oppos- ed to the route going tbrough the forests but would support any of the other routes., The Durham Federation of Agricuiltural, Representative, Bruce Taylor stated that Hydro did bave a good reforesting progiam thaf could be carried out under the lines and that lands in the slouth did' have a. gooZl food production' potential. The Federation supported their previous brief that the hydro route should be in the north. Mr. Stewart McKay of Clarke Township stated thbat consideration had so far been dlirected to the Durhamn-Gan- araska Forests and felt that some considerations should be given to tbe beadwaters section of the Wilmot. He said this was one of the important waterways in the sotbern Ontario and did not want its existance neglected.'11 Department re-affirmed their previous position with the choice of the ComTmon- wealth-Hydro route which passes through the middle of the ar4a north of Kendal and Kirby. The Northumberland-Dur- ham Tobacco Association sup- ported1 the southern route along highway 401 and pointed out that this route did eliminate the neeessity of a switching station in the mid- dle of Hope Township. Lt was pointed out that the tobacco group was only a small grojup in the area. 1.0 0 BOWMANVILLE'S DEATILS BEING FINALIZED Only the last minute details are left as Bowmanville prepares for its l3th annual visit by Santa Claus on Saturday, November 23rd.
