Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 9th, 1975 or ono weekly times A SPENDID AFTERNOON Sunday afternoon must have been a momentous occassion for Mr. Arthur A. Drummond as we know it was for the many who attended the reception held in his honour at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery In Oshawa. One could not but help be delighted with the recognition being given Mr. Drummond on this occasion and be likewise delighted to be able to see the fine selection of watercolours and oils by this noted painter who has lived for the past fifty years in Orono. Needless to say Mr. Drummond deserves the recognition now being given him for his talents which are so evident in his works dating back to as early as 1909. As one entered the gallery they could not but be overwhelmed with the display of talent in such as the watercolour called "The Buccaneer" and of course many others. Mayor Rickard expressed the feeling of those present most admirably and certainly paid a well earned tribute to Mr. Drummond. One can only be thankful for having the opportunity to see this showing. It is most evident that the Robert McLaughlin Gallery does play an important part in the cultural strength of this community. And as Mayor Rickard stated this part of life is taking on a greater value for everyone. The director of the gallery, Joan Murray, is to be congratulated in placing the emphasis for the gallery to some degree towards those within the community. It is in this area that a greater number of peolpe can have their appetite whetted for the arts. Of course, and it was repeated a number of times on Sunday, the recognition of the work by Mrs. Margot Samuel in' organizing and presenting this showing was a most tremendous and successful effort. Like the paintings in the exhibition the presentation was most professional. We can only say, "It is a tremendous show and be sure not to miss it while it is in Oshawa. SOME FLACK FROM BOATERS Since the announcement recently by a department of the federal government that there would be a $3.00 daily use There has been some flack from boaters following the recent announcement by a department of the federal government that a $3.00 charge would be made on a daily basis for canal useage this year. This announement affect both the Trent and the Rideau canals in the eastern sector of the province of Ontario. Surely the complaints have little justification and just because there has never been a charge does not rule out the fact that there shouldn't be one. There are many costs to the operation of the canal system to the federal government which over the passed has been taken out of the pockets, one way or another, of all taxpayers. But not everyone makes use of the canal system and we expect it is a small majority of the over-all population of even the province of Ontario that does make use of the waterways. As a matter of fact the general public has been subsidizing the boater who makes use of this great recreational system within our province. The golfer must pay the full cost of his recreation during the summer months so why not the boater who equally enjoys the great outdoors. The federal government is right to make the charge on this use basis and let their be no doubt the system will still have to rely somewhat on funds from the general treasury to continue its operations. It has also been often said that those things that are free are not always appreciated to the extent which they warrant. WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE There is no doubt that there are many reasons Why we in Canada are faced with what has been termed a housing shortage. None the least of these is the dissident home owner who approaches not only municipal council but the province and even the federal government to hold off development within their particular areas. TA number of these cases exist to-day in the Town of Newcastle and complaints and petitions have been received by council to housing developments in such areas as Courtice, Bowmanville and to the Mobile Home nrnnnsal Letters are now being received from Courtice area from citizens stating that they moved to the country to be able to live in that atmosphere. Those on Cobbledick road in the former Township of Clarke also advanced this argument when presenting opposition to the Rice Mobile Home proposal and a group in Bowmanville see their indentity being lost because of apartment or condiminium developments. The question arises how logical is this argument in the light of the happenings of to-day. We these people kept out of the area because those that were there didn't want them around. It doesn't appear that they were kept out. Why then should others not be able to enjoy, the same area even though it may change the character of the area somewhat. It is our belief that too much emphasis is placed with those that complain over the change of the character of the area. Those who do not enjoy housing of their own at this time surely can not be forced to do without just so someone else can keep their little corner to themselves. It is time thal all levels of government became aware that they administei for everyone under their jurisdiction whether owner oi expectant owner . , JOHN LIPTAY ( Continued from page 1 ) ements one being that Maple Street be brought up to standards as required by the Town of Newcastle. The Public Works Committee Committee concurred with report from J. Dunham, director of Works in that the estimated cost to bring Maple Street up to a minimum standard would be $8,475.00 plus engineering fees and the cost of constructing constructing a cul-de-sac at the end of the street. Mr. Liptay wanted this rescinded but was told that council could not rescind something they had not as yet passed. After considerable discus sion the matter was tabled until all councillors had viewed viewed the road in question. Mr. Liptay stated that council had handled an identical identical case last year by resolution resolution and he wished the same treatment. He said if he was not treated the same as the other case it would i-onstitute an act of serious discrimination discrimination and was most scandalous. He also said Maple Street was an improved road. Upon quesHonmg by Counc, Entwisle Mr. Liptay admitted that his lot had frontage and only one street which his comparison had frontage on two streets. Also Maple Street did not have winter maintenance maintenance while his comparison did have winter maintenance. Mr. Liptay referred to the proposed Interim Plan and said his property, according to the plan was being changed from residential to environmental environmental protection to which he stongly objected and claims it was stealing value from ms property. John Howden, planner, planner, pointed out that since the initial draft this had been noted and there was tojae no change from residential. ATHLETIC WINNER ( Continued trom page I > draw.
