2. Orono Weekly lb.., Wednesday. Jaauary 20, 1982. Actions Speak Louder Than Words It is often said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease but this is flot always the case and we do believe that actions of the silent miajority are hav- ing a decided effect on the automotive industry. They have rebeiled paying the price without, ini fact, saying a word or at least a word that can be founci in any news media. The restraint being quietly exercised has devastated the automotive industry. Not al problems with the industry can be directed to high in- terest rates. The quiet rebellion has caused the industry to offer incentives through price .drops and rebates of one form or another. Recent an- nouncement out of General Motors produces further cost reductions to the buying public with the elimination of such as radios, cigarette lighters, rear defoggers and other non ri-es senti ais to0 transportation. Ail companies are seeking reduction in labour costs through the reduction of benefits which certainly have added to the cost of the pro- duct. As long as the buiying public was receptive to in- creasing costs of cars and trucks there was no real ef- fort to curb such increases. It has now become a necessity if the industry is to prosper and to continue as a viable cog in the economics of this coun- try. It was recently announced that Lada Cars of Canada, a Russian built auto, was the only car industry in the area not subjected to layoffs. It hias been selling cars for under $5,000.00. The power of the sulent ma- jority is certainly being felt and in a way the free- enterprise systemn still exists. Would consider leasing Darlington. The Public Works depart- ment of the Region of Durh~am has been authorized by the Works Committee to advertise for written pro- rposais for the operation of the Dari-*ngtoni Landfill site on a lease basis with a re- quirement that any proposai submitted include a provision for recycling. The. Public Works has received, a letter fromi the President of Harden and King Construction saying bis firm and Ontario Disposais Ltd. would like a long-terni lease On the Darllngton Land- f111 site. The letter said the firm was interested in becom- ing actively engaged in refuse disposai ini the Region of Durham. Durhami Region coundil Landf iii site bas considered closing the Darlington dump as the Region bas been losing money on its operation. it bias been costing the Region $24.00 a ton to operate the site wbile it charges only $9.75 a ton. Wben considering closing the site the Region was con- sidering enterîng into an agreement with Hale Disposai using tbeir site in the east end of the Town of Newcastîe. Newcastle repesentatives on Regional Council have said they would object to the closing of Darlington Land- fil1 site as it would then re- quire residents in the west end of the Town to travel further to dispose of their refuse. EXPECT LEGAL OPINION AT COMMITTEE MEETING It is now expected that Mayor Rickard will release ail cor- respondence from the Town's solicitor to the Mayor as to the legality of releasing the information requested by petitioners on the resignations of Messrs. Dunhamn and Asbton, at a General Purpose Meeting on Monday. The Mayor was given authority to contact the solicitor in this matter as a result of a resolution pass- ed on Janiuary 4th. On Jan. 4th. an amendment to seek a second opinion has since been rescinded at the General Purpose meeting oniJan. lltb. MayorRîckar'd said on Monday that be expects to release his * correspondence with the Town's solicitor on January 25th. Letter to Editor WÈ*LthUtPreludg(ce Reqnest for- Clarificationýï of the Fitness Centre D-eficit Statem ent. There recently was a long report to the public by Mr. Bud Fanning re: The Fitness Centre wich I1 founid in- teresting. However, witb regard to t,~e deficit shown it is mny opi- nion that figures sncb as the proportion of Mr. F. Payne's IncQme Applicable and the entire Income of Jane Lutn wbo is the Aquaic Director - cost made necessary because of Fitness Centre - may flot be included. There may be other items but if only those mentioned above apply the deficit is actually mucb bigber. 1 would appreciate it if this matter could be clarifieci. 1 have spoken to Mr. Fann- ing te: this matter - I have no problems with Mr. Fanning and am nfot being critical of him. 1 believe the items May be found under the Town Administration Account placed by the prevîous Town Manager and previous Treasurer. 1 arn simply re- questing that this matter be reviewed and clarified.

Cowmnan said that Wisernan had noted that hie had not, as of that timre, received a resolution from council as to council's offer. Couarc. Hamre said she had to support both Mayor Rickard and Counc. Cowman in their views. She did point out that the local M.P.P., Sam Cureatz, tbrough a recent news item bad opened the door again as to Newcastle obtaining the property. Hamre pointed out that counceil would be looking at major consîderations in the near future as to ad- ministrative facilities in the Town and she would like to look at ahi options open to council in providing these facilîties. Hamre said if the property is not available to the Town then the matter should be closed once and for ail. "I do not want this property dangi- ing as a carrot in front of us in the future," she said. Counc. Hnbbard said if the province wishes to give us the property we would accept it and bulidoze the buildings and land-bank the remaining land. Counc. Woodyard said he didn't appreciate what was happening and said if anytbing wvas to happen to the property it would "jelI" on its own. He said the minister should flot be involv- ed at this time. On motion of Counc. Taylor and Hamre the Mayor's report was 'to bc received and the recommen- dations to ask the minister to open the property to the public for viewing be approv- ed. The motion, later in the meeting was defeated. Counce. Cowman pointed that neither her or the Mayor had mentioned anytbing about using the buildings for administrative purposes. She referred to professional reports that direct snch facilities to be placed at the present Town Hall through an addition and renovations. "What are you trying to get at?", she asked. An amendrnent to the original motion was also ~'efeaîed which sugg-ested that council ask the Minister the status of Pineridge and the asking price. Counc. Woodyard said he would flot be in favour of bnlidozing the buildings. The afternoon recommen- dation that public viewing be sought tbrough Sam Cureatz passed. Parking (Continued from page 1) spaces.
