About It" had been prepared (Continued page 3) The General Purpose corn- mittee on Monday heid firm on a previous decision in which council opposes development of a second shopping centre in Bowman- ville just north of 401 at Waveriey Road. A proponent of the development, S. Sprackman, stated that they did have a commitment from Zeliers that Zeliers would locate at the centre and wouid flot locate in the proposed third phase of the Bowmanville Mail at the east end of Bowmanvile. He contended this would create jobs for the area and as weli increase assessment. Sprackman aiso saîd thc centre would include a major food chain. Hie pointed out that the Bowmanville Mal l as lad three years to attract a major junior department store but. has been unable to bring such a development to Bowman- ville. Mr. Peter Weston, speak- ing on behaîf of the Bowman- ville Mail, doubted the dlaims of Sprackman and said it was a matter of thc economic times and as well the fact that a second mail may establish in Bowmanviile that has deterred a junior department store from coming to Bowmanville at this tîme. There has been some fear that Sprackman has support at the Region for a change in the officiai plan and the Town of Newcastle counicil has been asked by staff to op- pose any change in the plan to allow a second mail most strenuously. The second mail has been termed premature as there is more than adequate commer- cial space now in Bowman- ville to meet the demand.

Ijast moments in the old store The Reid brothers, Bob and Bill, relive- somne of the past thîrty-four years alt[the now oid Kirby General Store with their mother, Grace Reid. It was the last turning of the key in the door at the old store in which the Reids have operated since 1948. Today, Wednesday, it is business as usutai in a new store in a new location just north-east of thc Kirby four corners. The Reids, after closing on Saturday, were recalling the history of the past and the opening of the store in Kirby by father and mother, Bil and Grace Reid in 1948. At the time the building was us- ed for two dweiling-s but there is some speculation that a store did exist on site prior to the residential use. Bill Jr. joined his father and mother in the business in 1970 with Bob joining with lis brother in 1971 to operate thc store. Work has been completedl on the store athte new loca- tion wîth,1 the store opening today. The officiai opening wiil be announced later. Accommodation has also been provided for the Kirby Senate at the new location.
