"LIBERAL GOVERNMIENTS CORNER STONES", Mayor Garnet Rickard ini briefly speaking at the recent Liberal rally in Newcastle congratulated the Liberal govern- ments for what they had done for the country and for the con- tributions they had made to the country. "lLiberal govern- ments have been' corner stones in this country," stated the Mayor and then added, "but they are flot the only party."

Hie also commented that the number of students withdraw, ing from college has decreased by 30 percent. The enrolment figures for the last year were 1,887 students, and this year 2,264. The highest increase of students enrolîng into a course was for technology. The college had stressed this area for the last couple o! years. Longer edtucation programns have caused problems in park- ;-e at the college but it has changed in class times and have linated mnost of the problemns. apartment plans Haroldi W. Hammond has presented council with a peti- tion of some 880 names ob- jecting to a proposed rezon- ing of lands in the Waverley sub-division areat0 permit a 4 storey 63 unit, apartment building. Hammond states the residents of the area would be betrayed if the proposai goes through. He stated Io counicil that residents had made their purchases in the area with the understanding the area would remnain a low density area. If the proposai carnies if would be beyond our comprehen- sion, he saîd. Hammond s aid iie understood a circulation of the proposai had been under- taken by the Town and at this point no comments have been ýsoughf from the residents of the area. He said the only in-" dication they had that a pro- posai for apartmnents had been made was a sign posteti on the property. On motion of Councs. Hubbard -and Prout the delegation was recognized, the petifion received and the matter referred to the Direc- ftor of Planning, for a report fo be tabled at the next meeting of coundil. Counc. Woodyard asked how this matter could go so far before members of coun- cil were aware of the- pro- posai. Counc. Hamre said that counicil through their pro- cedure had cut out soie time fbrough the fact that the pro- perty was posted as to the rezoning application. She said this was a new process by the Trown and did informn the public in the area to what was happening. Counc. Taylor pointed ouf that what had been proposed, today (Monday) was ade- quafe as council did nof have a report before themn from the planning departmenf and it would be unfair fo cuf off the rights of a property owner f0 apply, for a rezoning wifhout the proper procedure being used. There was comment that not likely the proposai would be approved by the Region. The particular parcel of land in the Waverley area under consideration for rezoning is also included with other proposals in the Town of Bowmanville for officiai plan change. Edwards, Direc- tor of Planning, said he would inform the Ministry of Housing that the partîcular parcel be deferred and that a Ail it takes is a woman's touch to make a room feel warm.
