The sessions were separated by a short interval during which refreshments refreshments were served.

Franklin Wu, director of the Town's Department of Planning and Development, said last week that the Town is "so far ahead that we've got to get rid of some of the work." Mr. Wu was referring to a proposed proposed amendment to the Official Plan of the Town.

Mr. Wu said the Town began its amendment process about two and a half years ago. TTie draft will be passed on to Durham Region for incorporation in its regional official development plan.

"They're not Town consultants," Mr. Wu said in reference to the consultants consultants firm of Tunney Planning of Whitby. . "They're developers' consultants. We provide some guidelines. We gave them a term of reference." It is said that the consultants have come up with four options for land use that involve between 1,000 to 1,500 housing units for a population of between 4,000 and 7,000 people. The area targeted for development is the southwestern comer of what planners call Urban Courtice.

The Courtice Christmas Album Project, which was set up recently with the aim of independently raising funds towards helping the setting up of a community complex in Courtice, has scheduled a meeting on March 2, Tuesday, in room 113, Courtice Secondary Secondary School, at 8 p.m. "The album committee has brought John David "Jack" Cator (Chairman of the Board Cardinal Meat Specialists Ltd.) The son of Fuller and Elizabeth Cator, not interested in following his father's footsteps into fanning, John David "Jack" Cator left his parents' Bowmanville home as a teenager in search of work. His 1927 job at a Maple Grove slaughter house/meat delivery route introduced him to the meat processing industry in which he built a solid family enterprise and earned the respect of his colleagues in a career spanning 65 years. He eventually bought the Maple Grove business and operated it for several years before realizing his dream of owning a retail market setting up shop in Pickering in the early 30's. Funds soon ran out as he discovered store retailing was different from door to door peddling. Undaunted, he moved to Toronto where he worked at a number of jobs and was promptly dismissed from each one. "I was kind of cocky then" he would rationalize. Jack ultimately landed a job with Louis Becker at Bloor Meat Market in Swansea, where he truly learned his trade. During til is time he married his Maple Grove sweetheart, Dora Eamcs, originally of Stanstead, England. In the early 40's Jack joined forces in a partnership with Mr. Becker at Lawrence Park Meats, on Yonge Street and by 1955 had ownership in four "sawdust-on-thc-floor" butcher shops. In tire next few years Jack worked to consolidate to Lawrence Meat Market (The Kingsway) where he welcomed his son Ralph as a partner in 1955. The founding of Cardinal Meat Specialists Ltd. in 1966 marked the third career change for Jack and by the early 70's, he and his son were established in business on Stanfield Road in Mississauga. With his usual enthusiasm, Jack fully endorsed Cardinal's planned upcoming move to larger, more efficient premises in the Malton area. Until the time of his death Jack Cator was Chairman of the Board of Cardinal Meat Specialists and continued to be an important and supportive member of the business which now includes three of his four grandchildren. Jack will be remembered within the industry not only for his contributions, but for his knack of making all with whom he came in contact, feel better about themselves as a result of his visit. Mis good humour, direct honesty and candid comments never left any "grey areas". His leisure hours were spent pursuing his favorite pastime, fishing. Mr. Cator succumbed to a three-year battle with cancer on December 31,1992. He was 81 at the time. The death of his beloved wife, Dora had left a great void for Jack when she passed away in 1989 after 54 years of marriage. As well as sisters Edith and Beatrice and brother Bill, Mr. Cator is survived by son Ralph and his wife Ruth Anne, daughter Diane, grandchildren Mark and his wife Karen, Karen and husband Ken Lauder, Brent", Janine and her husband Paul Herron and great grandchildren Mark, Benjamin and Jessica. The John David Cator Education Scholarship Foundation has been established to honour his memory. our long list of songs and artists down to a short list," says a statement on the progress of the Album Project. "All parties involved have been notified notified and requested to attend" Tuesday's Tuesday's meeting. "Pertinent information will be given given Contracts will be handed out and questions will be answered." Diana Williamson, executive producer producer of the album, said last week that four other members of the committee will be present at the meeting, which is also open to members of the general public. The four include Phil Manning of Beechnut Cres., producer of the seasonal seasonal album. Mrs. Williamson said the short list consists of Country/Bluegrass singers - including a fireman's quartet led by Tim Calhoun of Fire Station No. 4 on Trulls Rd., Modem Pop Singers, Bar- bershoppers and a Children's Choir. Most of the pieces on the short list are originals written by Durham residents, residents, including Jamie Drynan of Oshawa, who has written four songs for the projected album. One of Mr. Drynan's songs is "Norman, the Three-legged Squirrel." Mrs. Williamson said that the Album Album Project will hold a concert in mid-October to raise money to help fund "studio time" for artists who have agreed to donate their time and talent towards the making of the Christmas Album. "We're still looking for private sponsorship for individual artists," said Mrs. Williamson. The Christmas Album Project was formed towards the end of last month. It aims at producing an album of seasonal seasonal music by November to help "generate capital toward the cost of constructing" the projected community community complex on the northwestern comer of the junction of Courtice Rd. and Highway 2. The album will have "seasonally appropriate music consisting of performances performances of various local artists." A very good crowd came out Sunday Sunday even though it was terribly cold.

The choir had an anthem with Andrea Wood singing solo parts. Those celebrating birthdays next week are Howard White, Eva Longyear, Longyear, Eva Aiken and Gladys Farrow. Marilyn Gardner read a poem, "The Touch of the Master's Hand". The children's minute was another session with the Lord's Prayer, second lesson from Isaiah 58:1-10 about fasting fasting - the kind that God wants is this: Remove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed oppressed go free. Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless and poor. We take for granted the blessings that come to us. We want harmony, and honesty so daily life will go on as before but we seem to be giving opposite and not coming back to practical things. We arc coasting as a congregation and not following the duties that God asks of us. Vivian and Howard Quantrill took up the offering and coffee was served as usual. On Thursday evening Susan and Jackson Peacock had Joe and Jean Kowall, David and Jennifer and Kat- lin Walker, Mary Trew and Irene Beatty for dinner at night.
