Editor Perbaps Orono Hall Could Be Considered Council members of the Town of Newcastle have had some discussion as to the future of the departmnents of Public Works and Planning conti nuing to be housed in the Hampton Town Offices and with consideration of eitber both or one possibly being moved to rented quarters in Bowmanville. Fer what we hear accommodation at Hampton is not sufficient for both departments and especially to pro- vide space for updating of staff in the public works departmnent. t would seem reasonable that one of the departments could be moved to the Orono Hall that is owned by the Town. The local hall bas only a limited use at the pre- sent lime and revenue is somewhat, below the cost of operating the facility even on the limited basis. Renting space in Bowmanvile would add to the cost of opera- tion while town property remnains unused. A move to Orono from Hampton would not create anymore inconvenience that now exists and we do ques- tion the view that ail departments under one roof makes for greater efficiency when in this case most depart- ments operate independent of one another in.their daily operations. Most comments that we do hear concerning regionalization is that residents do feel a loss of contact witb their local and regional governments. They have disappeared out of the community and thus out of siglit. A location of an office in areas where it is possible and financially feasible seems to measure in appearing to return governiment to the people. The provincial governiment is practicing a plan of decentralization with one of many moves out into the province being the Ministry of Finance soon to open in the City of Oshawa. The samne could hold truc in the Town of Newcastle and we sce little loss of efficiency at this time in such a move and further the Orono Town Hall does sit idle a good part of the time. Raying rent, anywhcre else seems a waste of taxpayer's funds. At least consider the Orono Building. A WORTHWHILE OUTING Lt is a worthwhile outing to take in the musical comedy, The Kingdom" being presented at the Newcas- tle United Cburch for tbe remainder of this week. Tbe play, written and directed by Charles Ewert, stars a number of local teenagers wbo present a creditable per- formance along with some fine singing.

Caion eating of Ganaraska Rainbow' Trout It bas been notcd by the Ministry of the Environment- that tests show that Rainbow Trout and Rainbow Smeit may be contaminated witb mercury, PCB (an industrial lubricant and insulating fluid) mirex and pesticides. Fisb in the mouth of tbe Ganaraska may also be con- taminated. The Ministry warns that no more than one or two meàls of fisb sboul d be caten per weck and that children und er the age of 15 years and womcn of cbild-bearing age should not consume the fish at ail. t is also pointed out that if the maximum of six arc caten in a weeks pcriod then sucb fish should flot be caten for another six montbs., In addition it states that oniy boncless, skinlcss filets of' fish in the Ganaraska sbouid be caten.

Several farmers are now making the huge 800 Ilb. bales this year. Last winter had lit- tic or no rain and they proved satisfactory. If this is a wet rainy winter they may be covercd with ice.
