Samuel frustrated (Continued from page 1) through the number of local companies that would be in- volved in the ultimate pro- duction of the product. Both Samuel and Rotstein are critical of the federal agency's reason in turning aside the application for financial assistance. The agency has stated that a review of the proposal in- dicates the company is not financially strong enough for the study and subsequent proposed expansion. Samuel points out that the company has gone through hard times as has most other manufacturers in the recent two years. He states the com- pany has gone through hard times before and as in the past will survive again. He notes the company has been in operation in Orono for the past 28 years. He also notes that their bankers and long- term lenders are in support of Plydesigñs. The president also states that the program of K.D. fur- niture is well within the capabilities of the firm and that the program is im- perative in their long term planning. Both Samuel and Rotstein point out that the local com- pany is a major employer in the area with some 200 employed locally and up- wards of 300 in the group of companies associated with Orono Reality Ltd. "It is im- perative that we move into new, related and expanding markets to protect these jobs", states Samuel. He also points out that employees of the group of company's pay in access of $1 million a year in income tax. Frustration mounts for Ted Samuel when he points to the time restraints in being prepared for the September show in New York. He said this could well be the kick-off for K.D. furniture in North America and we want. to be there with a new product line.

He said there was a desire for greater community involve- ment in the Newcastle area which stemmed the establish- ment of the local board. Peters said it is a growing program which during 1983 grew by fifty percent. The Board operates -with a part- time co-ordinator and a secretary along with a group of volunteers. They operate out of an office in the Bowmanville Post Office with the Ministry of Correc- tional Services paying the bills and the local board ad- ministrating the program in the area. In speaking to his audience Peters said the board hoped that clients during their period of community work had been of a benefit to them and their agency. "Without your involvement the system would not work," he said. The chairman of the local board introduced members of the board being Roxie Barnes, Glen Fry, Dianc Hamre, Jane Crane, Denise Fry and John Logan along with Pat Rundle, co- ordinator. Pat Rundle in addressing the meeting said the local Community Services organization had handled 74 clients who had provided 3286 hours of work for com- munity groups and in- dividuals through Communi- ty Service Orders. She said tliere were some real success stories and that this success belonged to those who had accepted the clients for com- munity work as regular volunteers. She repeated Peters' remark, "Without you there would be no pro- gram."

Parkwood Rotary's President, David Andrews, gave Durham Col- lege President Mel Garland the cheque at a meeting of the Club at the Holiday Inn, Monday evening. Mr. Garland, in accepting the donation, emphasized the money is given to students on the basis of financial need, and who would have difficul- ty in completing their school year without supplementary income. He stated that in the Spring of 1983, Durham undertook a campaign to in- crease the number of bur- saries available. The College is most gratified at the response of the business com- munity and local service organizations. There are now 129 bursaries, for a total of $26,470. They are given dur- ing January, February and March. Mr. Garland stressed that further assistance is still required inasmuch as this year the College was only able to help 42 percent of those applying for bursaries. The Parkwood Rotary Club, in addition to its sup- port of Durham College's Bursary Fund, supports other local charities with financial support and volunteer effort. Both Samuel and Rotstein refer to the federal bail-out of such as Dome Petroleum where up to $1.2 billion has been provided with ques- tionable return of the fun- ding. "We lack political clout," states Samuel, "for our project." The two men also make mention of other federal assistance programs that may, well be ques- tionable. Ted Samuel states that entering the K.D. furniture market is a natural progres- sion for their product lines and that they certainly need assistance as now being in a recovery period. "It seems to us that our regional location and the mutual dependence between the community and our company should give our application top priority," states the president.
