Forrester Editor Group Homes, No Simple Answer Some four years ago the Province of Ontario etn- barked on a programn of de-institutionaiizing many of the provincial programs affecting individuals and groups of individuals under the care of the province in provincial institutions. It was at this tîme that "Group Homes" were advocated as to'the answer for those iess fortunate and those in need of special care. The proposai of Qroup Homes does have a great deal of menit whereby small groups of individuals, from three to ten, may be housed in a home setting under pro- per supervision and through icencing by the province. The homes are to, be in a residential "area conforming to municipal by-iaws. The province has sought support form local municipalities. Group homes touch a wide spectrum of need, some 26 in ail, ranging from special chid care, disabled, mental care to aduit criminai rehabilitation. It has been the intention of the province that most muncipalities wouid accept some Group Homes in their residentiai areas. To this end the Town of Newcas- tle has made an effort to include such homes within the municipality on a planned basis but in the meantime they were to effect rezoning for those Group, Homes that already exist in the Town. ,Both these rezoning applications have been before the Ontario Municipal Board for their considera- tion until iast week when a delegation from Stephenson's Road, east of Newcastle Village, question- ed the generalities of the rezoning applications and the Group Home By-law. The group feared loss of security through what Group Homes may estabiish in their particular area as well as-a possible loss in value to their property. As a resuit of the delegation the Town of Newcastle has put, a hoid on the submission now before the 0MB and in the meantime wili discuss the Town's proposai further with the delegation. Recent reports in the Toronto Star point out that many municipalities, especially some boroughs in Metro, are placing road blocks in supporting the aims of Group Homes with the resuit that, such are not being proposed to establishment in their communities. Gnoup Homes appear to be a great idea if pro- perly run and benefits for those iess fortunate than the general public are definiteiy there in a homelike at- mosphere. The acceptance of Group Homes is another mat- ter and certainly concernis wiil be expressed and in some cases justiy so. But society has to accept sorte respon- sibility and we cannot iock away everyone that does not fit into the genenai pattern of society. Thene is a seiiing job to be done for Group Homes if such a scheme is to take the place of institu- tions and society as a whole must accept this responi- sibility. It may well mean giving a litie to gain a lot. NO FINAL TABULATION AS VETr In speaking with Bell Canada on Monday it was learned that n6ô final tabulation of the recent mail and phone survey of Orono telephone users as the extension of the calling area to Bowmanville bas been made. The final resuits are not expected u ntil sometîmne in the next three months. The extension of the caliing area is subject to approval of a miajonity of the Orono subscribers and of the Canadian Radio- Television Telecommunications Commission. A public statement as to the result of the survey will be made by Bell Canada when ail resuits are tabuiated. No additional Regional members (Continued from page 1) counicil 15-14 defeated the proposed increase. Later council vote-d against increasing Whitby and Ajax representation by one. Oshawa presently has eleven members on the thirty member council with Ajax witb two and Whitby, with three memnbers. Oshawa has 42 percent of the population, Ajax- nine percent of the population and Whitby 12.8 percent of the population. The Ontario governiment had informed the Region that they would agree to the in- crease in representation for the thiree miunicipalities if such was approved by the Region. Many regional councililors at this time believe the thirty- mhember council is more than adequate. Poetry Cecil Carveth In the twenties, seed grain, seed potatoes-and more, Were sold by "Cec" Carveth, in his littie feed store, 1 remember it welI, nîght on the Main Street, Where farmers, and locals, and others would meet. As a fairly young lad, he came out of the west, And ight away be put to the test, Taking cane of mast evenyone's needs, Therefore in ife hè just had to succeed. *Took charge, of sending cigarettes overseas, To Milton, Abie, many others, and me, Takîn' ail round a philosipher of sorts, Also real active in s0 many sports. Yes ail sports he loved, yet to me it does seem, His favourite one, was the old basebaîl teamns, Knew every player, I am sure by name, And rarely did be ever, miss a bail game. To top this ahl off with no misdemeanor, Spend most Sunday nights at the memoriai arena, Another pastime that meant so much to him, Was travelling around and showing his film. Even after with bail club, spending so much time, The Lion's Club he joined, and sure toed tbe line, Along with ail this to keep him from beerag,-C Spent Isome time on the Board of the Local Cold Storage. In seventy three, when I went to Pension, 1 would chat with Cecil, to ease the tension, Many questions I wouid ask, and as quick as a dancer, More often than not "Cec" came up with the answer. 1 am sure most feel "Cec" a great humanitarian, So let~s take our hats off to this .true Octagenarian, Now to you who remember 1 hope and I pray, We can ail get together for a -Cec" Carveth Day. Vic GarÉod, Durham Senior Citizens Lodge. 1A proposaI was placed before the General Purpose committee of the Town of Newcastle on Monday by Mayor Rickard and Town Administrator, Don Smnith. The vroposai is to hold a Town of Newcastle Promio- tion Day on Friday, April the three sessions. There would be a buffet lunch aL noon. with the afternoon ses- sion conveneing at 2:00 anýd closing at 3:30 p.m . Each member of council andstf would be responsi- hIe for one of the sessions and it is hoped plans could be completed by the end of March so that invitations could be sent out by the Town. It is ekpected the day would cost i n the Kendal News Even the stork in the heavens knows her times: and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming. . .Jeremiah 8:7. The swallows returned to Capîstrono on March ISth. thîs year as they have done for many years. Speaking of swallows Mr. E. Couroux has made some very beautiful martin bouses. Jack Miner said that when he erected the beautiful martin house that the boys of the blind scbool of Brantford buiit, that the purpie martins were in it tbe next morning. Before that time the cattle wouid run from the pasture chased by the heel fly. After it was erected the cattie could graze in peace. Sunday, March 2Ist. was a miserabie day. Seemns strange that the school authorities would choose the spring equinox for a holiday week unless they thougbt it would be à good timne to get away from the equinoctial stormis. In 1929 Easter was in March so six hundred Toron- to and York teachers decided to go on a conducted tour by train to Philadeiphia, Atlan- tic City, Washington and New York. We left Toronto about eleven p.m. Friday night, slept on the train and next mnorning were in Philadelphia. There we saw and heard the largest pipe organ in the world (at that Newcastle Lions 35th Anniversary (Continued from page 1) fellowman. Lyman was in- strumental in advancing the Lions organizationi towards service in the field of hearing and speech which now aIong wvith sight conservation is one of the main stays of Lions In- ternational. The evening included din- ner, presentations, the speaker and followed by dan- cing. neighbourhood of $2,000. 3th in the Newcastle Com- munity Hall. The promotion would in- clude six sessions with three in the morning and three in the afternoon. The sessions would directed towards agriculture -and rural living, commerce and urban development, culture and recreation, housing, industry and trade and tourismi. Each member of council and a member of staff would be directed to handle one of the sessions while the Mayor and Administrator ,vould be responisibie for the overal organization of the day. The day would open at 10:00 a.m. with -opening remarks to be followed with time) and walked along the short on that famous board walk eighit miles long.The weather was asbalmy as sumn- mer. Then on to Washington where the Japanese cherry trees were in full bloom with ail i.s fin attractions we even saw th~e "Kitty Hawk"' plane in which Lindenburg flew the Atlantic in 1927. We went to the beautiful estate and home of George Washington. Then we returned to New York Ci- ty where we heard the Hallelujah Chonux sung by a thousand voices in the Roxy theatre accompanied by the New York' Symphony Or- chestra. Then home to Toronto -wearing our new Easter bonnets. At the Union Station as we descended from the last coach a terrific downpour of ramn came and our hats were ruined. Our escorts told us that every bridge leading into Woodbridge was gone but one. By a round about way we crossed that one bridge in- to Woodbridge. 1 learned later that the railway bridge east of Bowmanville was washed away taking a man with it on March 21, 1929. The scripture reading Sun- day morning' was Acts 2: 37-47 and the Lenten topic "Sharing." As the apostles travelled along the road to Jerusalemi Jesus sbared his love and his heaiing power with them and with the crowds. Jesus shared ail his love and eventualiy his life. The love of Jesus reached far beyond those who saw him. When we give to societies like the' Bible Society our love reaches far beyond the people we see. We cannot be there where they are transiating the scripture but because we have heiped we are there because we share. Paul sent money to Syria, "Withhold not the Gospel from those need bread, for living is giving" the bright Angel said, "And must I be giving again and again? " My peevish, pitiful, answer ran. "Ah, no," said the angel, thus pier-cing me through Just gîve tili the Master stops giving to you. Jesus shared bis life with the world to the rich young ruler he said, "Go homne ar' share." But he didni't put I- love into action. Cast thy bread upon the wNater. Div ide what you have. Share with others for someday you mnay need help.
