The committee recomn- mendation to council would have încreased costs for 1986 no more than 8 percent through the Town of Newcastle taking over the garbage pickup.

Remnember Hollywood mnay be calling!! Memories to share In days gone by,--too many days I'm afr-aid,--I remember the joys leading up 10 Chiristimnas. 1 was a young boy growing up in London in tise 1920s. That grimiy, smnokey, old city, where somnetimes just existing ,was airacle, anid frequently, and especial- ly aI this timne of the year the long lost sounds and au- miosphere of those days creep back imt my imem-fory. The snowv covering the soo-_t from thousands of. coal fired chimnieys, the gas lamp posts on street corner-s shedding a yellow llht 0on the brick t-oads. Shopping with my parents a few, days before the -Big Onle" for a goose or turkey. Thre fruit and nuts tKIaIdecorated the ifestive table, aind the heiaps of vegetables to feed family and friends. We didn't h ave refrigerators in those days, nor did we have T.V.s, in fact wxe didn't even have electrici- ty. 1 suppose by today's stan- dards we had very ittle, but one thing we did have în abundance was love and hap- piness.

Council turned aside thse recommendation tisat Cour- tice area be serviced by BFI who had submitted thse lowest tender for the works. In the shredding of tise proposal council also turned aside the one-uniform rate for garbage charges for at, least the next ninety days. Only Mayor Winters, Councs. Diane 'Hamnre and Frank 'Stapleton, supported the recommendations from the, General Purpose commit- tee which would have had the Town pick-up garbage in (Continued page 2) Wants to continue Courtice service P Groeniveld of Gjroenveld's Garbage Service who have been servicing the Courtice area on an in- dividual basis spoke to coun- cil on Monday asking tIsat council not accept the bld of BEI 10 contract garbage in a definled area in Courtice.
