In may 1975, the Newcastle Town Council approved its Interim District Plan but under this document, the Pythagoras property was designated designated as an Environmental Study area. This stipulation would not allow the Group to proceed pending further study by the Town of Newcastle officials. "The Pythagoras Group with a big dollar tied up in their land holdings in the old Allin Farm property are not about to give up their plans." Mr. Lyall concluded "If the A Toronto consulting firm has been retained by the' federal government to investigate investigate radiation in Port Hope. James F. MacLaren Ltd. was awarded a $67,00Q contract contract by the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) to make a study which will help the government plan a cleanup cleanup of Port Hope sites which have been found to have high radio activity levels.

The contract given thé consulting firm calls for a study which will run to the end of March and was awarded without tenders having been called. Jon Jennekens, director of licensing- for the AECB, explained the time constraints constraints and the board's desire to get on with thé cleanup as soon as possible led to the decision not to call tenders for the project. Thé investigation which will probably begin next week, entails the taking of soil samples and drilling of test holes-, in various locations around Port Hope. The; Town of Newcastle Recreation Department has called a meeting for March 17th concerning Lobb ball in the", Town for the coming summer season. The meeting ifi to be held in the Council chambers at the fire-police station commencing at 7.30 p,m. Mr. Fanning, director, points to the interest shown in the community last year and is hopeful that more teams will be entered in the town league this year. The director would like to see some cross town rivalry involving a league with Bowmanville, Bowmanville, Waverly Community, Community, Orono, Newcastle, Tyrone Hampton, Solina, Kendal and other areas. Last year Orono and area were well represented in the Lobb ball league and no doubt this will exist again from all local reports. Women now have equal credit opportunity. This is what Ontario has done to ensure it. G£j®D!)S>' Here in Ontario, any woman, married or not, should be granted credit in her own name if her credit qualifications, property or earnings are such that a man with the same qualifications would receive credit. That is the essence of Ontario's new Equal Credit Opportunity Guidelines. All major credit grantors in the Province have endorsed these guidelines, on the basis that equality of access to credit is a right, even though credit itself is a privilege. In practice, the Guidelines outline the following principles: • hold,men and women to the same standards of credit worthiness • refrain from refusing to extend credit to a woman because of a change in henmarital status • refrain from requesting or using information about family planning in evaluating credit applications • consider a,spouse's income, if necessary, when a couple applies for credit • consider alimony and child support as a source of income • not altera person's credit rating solely on the basis of the credit rating of the spouse • allow husband and wife to have separate files with credit reporting agencies. , For a'free booklet giving the Guidelines in detail, and covering the entire subject of women's.access to credit, write: • Ontario Consumer Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Cdmmercial Relations Sidney Handleman, Minister
