2-Orono Weekly Timies, Wednesday, October 3, 1984 Pub1iEWd vey Wednesda$ae àt theJieet pitto A case weII made Mayor Rickard and Counc. Bruce Taylor in speak- ing on a proposai by Murray Payne to develop 16 residen- tial lots in the former Township of Clarke on the west side of Bellwood Drive did present some sound reasoning as to what appears their opposition to the proposai. Mayor Rickard points out the 'Town has more than a sufficient number of lots both in the urban areas and in the rural areas of the Town to sustain a population of somte 77,000 residents. He further points out in this context that the Region has spent some $21 million to provide services in the urban areas of Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcas- tle Village which are by no means being overrun with development. The Mayor also points *out to approve the plan would be a controvention of the officiai plan and that in fact it would open up similar developments in the rural area ail across the Town. He spoke of the land being Class i agricultural land and warned of conflicts betwcen residential and the farming community. One would have to agree if counicil is not intent on saving permanent agricultural reserve designated land then they have no policy as to saving farm land- in this com- munity. The Mayor made another observation that possibly is well taken in that if a farmer must seli land to remain viable in his farm operation it is indeed the beginning of the end of that particular farm, operation. Counc. Taylor was direct in his approach and stated emphatically that council was dealing with a planning mat- ter which basically deait only with land use. He said it was flot a question of whether or not there were cheap residen- tial lots available or whether council should be rounding off residential clusters where devlopment did exist on one side of the road nor, lie said, were they dealîng wîth farm economic problems. He said it would be a major departure from the of- ficiai plan and a significant change to use permanent agricultural reserve land for'residential development. Sure- ly no one could dispute this point of view. Taylor pointed to the fact that the Town does have 13 hamiets, most with plans of development and it should be in these areas ,that residential development should be directed. Again another point that surely holds up in the discussion. The Durham Federation of Agriculture through Gord Werry, not too long ago, chastised counicil over their concern for the farm community and the encroachment of residential development into the farming community. Don Welsh, also reprcsenting the same organization on Mon- day told council, "enough is enough and any more is too much". 1 It ail bouls down to the point that, as Counic. Taylor stated, planning is the basic use'of land and permanent agricultural reserve designated land is flot for resîdential development. if counicil is committed to save agricultural' land then there comes a time when 'no' has to be the answer. One may have to go back some time to hear such a stand as taken by either members of council on Monday but it was refreshing to hear that possibiy somec ne is con- cerned with the saving of the farm community and that planning, is in fact, the basic use of land for which it was desîgnated. It was also encouraging to see the Federation of Agriculture make t.heir stand known to both council and the general public. Any why flot? The action of the principal and vice-prinicipal at Clarke Hîgh School does make sense in that the school is now a non-smoking school for both teachers and students alike. There is no particular reason that tax dollars should be expended in any way to cater to smoking whether it is the establishment of a smoking room or the cleanup of areas littered with butts. 0 f course the prime reason hasto be the health of ail concerned and it is most logical that such a move be made in the educational system. To those makeing the deciin we musi passc Kendal News Farm Kitchens at Night 1by Edna Jaques Verse 3 & 4 (continued) An old grey cat is sleeping on a chair, Paws folded in below her snowy chest, She looks the picture of con- tented peace, Like an old lady waiting for a guest, Her eyes blînk softly as if haîf awake,, Pale green like water in a mounitain lake. The kitchen has a fragrance of its own,, 0f porridge simmering in a blue pot, 0f kindling wood drying beneath the stove, And red coals glowing beautiful and hot, There is a sense of joy and comfort there, In the old stove and cushion- Association for bright children The Northumberland and Newcastle chapter of the Association for Bright Children will hold its first general meeting of the year at Port Hope High School on Monday, October l5th at 8 p.m. The new director of the N/N Board of Education, .Dr. G.

Blowmanville, Ontario 623-7306 F111 gap between paydays without having to borrow BRy John G. Sayers, CA lt's a farnilliar scenario: Payday is still three days off, and your wallet is. empty. How do you cope? In that threc-day gap before you collect your next pay che- que, you still have to take care of essentiais - like eatmng and getting to work. So you must bridge that critical gap. And it's no comfort to say that if your financial planning and budgeting were carefully donc, you wouldn't find yourself in the payday gap situation. Even the most careful plans can go wrong. Dollar Sense offers general financial advice by members of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. John Sayers is with Dunwoody & Company, Chartered Accoun- tants, Toronto. Even though it may by only temporary, the payday gap too often resuits from the tendency on the part of, many people to spend as quickly as possible whatever money they have. But quite apart from that, emergencies can strike - prescriptions for a sudden il- Iness, unexpected repairs to your car or one of your major household appliances. Such unforseen events can throw the most carefully planned budget out of whack. Se let's look at how you can deal with the gap that such emergencies could create. The easiest way to bridge the payday gap is by using credit cards. But credit pur- chases have to bc paid for eventually, and there's no point ini closing -one gap only to crate a bigger one next month. Another way would be to borrow a few dollars from friends. Again, borrowed money has to bepaid back, so you are just moving the pro- blem a little further down the road. Besides, how many times can you borrow from a friend? So instead of looking out- side, look around inside the home to sec what resources you have there. You nixght be surprised. What about that jar of coins you've been collec- ting? This is' the time to use them. If you have a stock of canned or packaged foods, stant using them up rather than buying new supplies. It's -a good time, too, to start re-thinking the way you do certain things. If you usually drive te work - and have to worry about gas and parking - take public transport mnstead. And if your funds won't even allow that, try to get a ride with somen cisc. If your neighbor travels the sanie way, it shouldn't be hard to arrange a ride for a few days. (You can always return the favor later.) 1 Obviously this ia no time for buying lunches.' "Brown bagging" is the order of the day. And if you're a smoker, this is an ideal time to quit. Being broke, even tem- porarily, is no joke. But with a littie planning, thought, and flexibiity, you can take a lot of the sting out of thc payday gap. Property-related crimes drop A Neighbourhood Watch program instituted in the Waverley Road area of Bowmanville is credited with a drop in properîy-related crime in the area. Only two break and enters were reported in the first seven month of 1984 which compares wilh 14 such evenîs during the same period in 1983. Reported incidents of stolen bicyles were down t0 seven trom a prcvious number of twelve. More than 500 homeowners have joýinii((he group siilce ils incepi ion in ianuary of1984. cd rocking chair. A feel of home and peace and fircglow, That lovely modemn kitchens do flot know. (continued from last week by Edna Jaques) We didn't have cupboards and counters in those days, we had a pantry and after sec- ing how pretty the kitchen looked, my mother thinned out the rest of the paint and went at the shelves in the pan- try and put new newspapers on and you neyer saw such a change as it made cither. She even painted the old brown flower pots and made them new and chcery iooking. In the kitchen was a long table to accommodate seven of a family, two hired men and any visitors who might come along. The sewing machine stood beside thc east, window and was always open with some bit of scwing on it. There was a wash bench behind the kitchen door with an oilcloth cover 'and littie curtains to hide the old shocs and rubbers underneath. Alil in ail, I have neyer seen a more homelike room'in my life and the memory of its warmth and cheer has liftcd my hcart many a time during the years when I was boar- ding or roonuing in some strange place and trying to feel at home... .where no home existcd. On Sunday morning there was a few more out to hear Rev. Keith Henderson and some visitors from Kirby. The senior class of boys and girls sang "Amazing Grace" accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Keith Wood. Visitors on Sunday with Mrs. A. Cathcart wcrc Mrs. B. McKechnie of Mississauga and her daughter Mr. and Mrs. Dave Livingstone and their daughter Kara of Brampton. Miss C. Stewart had her niece Mrs. Jean Keane, Jef- fery and Jenna visiting her on Sunday. Mrs. E. Foster is vacation- ing in the north with her' daughter Mrs. Judy Fonk. One of the sad things in this world is to sec beautiful homes demolished. In Bruce County i boarded in a vcry fine home. It was modern in every way with a, beautiful green lawn sloping,,~ south to the road. The land was the finest dlay loam. Thcy grcw the best potatoes, strawberries, grain, etc. and in the spring made maple syrup. There wcrc seven children in the family, the youngest attending high school and college the oldest two teaching school. The farm was sold to the Austrians along with several, others surrounding it. It has laycd idie a year they tell me. In May the buildings were auctioned off to, be removed from the site. The house brought one hundred dollars, the barn sold for sixty dollars. 1 could hardly believe it possible that those fine buildings would deteriorate that much. The oldest son farmed it when he returned, from overseas then sold it tcl go in to the dairy business in Niagara about 1949. I had not heard anything about it tili I receivcd a recent letter from Port Elgin. ORONO UNJTEfl, CHURCH ORONO PASTORAL CHARGE Rev. Fred R. Mimnes B.A., B.D.
