Forrester, Editor DON'T BLAME THE COMPUTER There has been many opinions presented as to the cause of overspending by the Town of Newcastle which in 1979 resulted in a Town deficit of their controllable expenditures of some $61-3,000.00. Most recently the computer system of bookkeeping was taken to task as perhaps the culprit in establishing a situation in which a deficit could well develop unknown to department heads and council members. It would appear that department heads are divided in their support or non-support of the computer system of bookkeeping and council members are likewise divided. A computer printout of the financial position of the Town of Newcastle as of July 31st, I960 appears to this writer to be straight-forward' and readily understandable. There appears to be few mysteries and with a few explanations the print out should be quite useable for both council members and Town staff. It is quite detailed and do® require a total of some fifty pages to record the financial transactions in accord with the budget passed by council. The print out records the actual expenditures, the budget figure, the unexpended portion of the budget and the percent of the budget spent. The print out, is easy to follow to even obtain the financial picture of say the Orono Park and Pool at that particular point of time. Again there is no mystery. Some council members have been critical of the fact that committed expenditures are not shown on the printouts. This certainly is the case but then in most cases if the original budget is being adhered to there would be little difficulty in determining that figure. If it is an extra expenditure all it needs is inclusion in the computer. The computer will provide the answers if the figures are put into it. Counc. Barr at a recent meeting stated that council had still to come to grips with the financial dilemma of the Town and one would have to agree with this viewpoint. Perhaps the Provincial government through their assessment can give some direction but then will it be heeded ' by council.

"'Wilmot Creek Basin is a unique resource,, enjoyed by both residents of the Durham area and fishermen from all over Ontario," Cureatz said. "I explained to the Minister the need to better develop the Basin .to ensure that its environment is protected and that access is not limited to the excellent trout and salmon salmon fishing." During the discussions, Auld told Cureatz that his Ministry is investigating the Kendal News Anybody who just drifts with the current is sure to end up, in deep water. What wonderful weather we have been enjoying but Beth Çuthbert tells us it will continue below normal till August 27th, Sunday was a perfect day. We were pleased to have visitors from Shiloh and Kirby at the service. Mrs. Ethelda Williamson of London London was there. She is spending spending a few days with her daughter Mrs. Enid Brewer and family. Rolf Hellebust was with us after spending four months in Bavaria as an exchange student. He returned returned home with his family when they returned from Norway. His grandmother Hellebust lives in Norway. Rev. A. Tizzard continued his series of sermons, one sermon from each book of the Bible. His sermon was based on the Epistle of Paul to Titus. Scripture reading Titus 2. Paul is writing this letter with a personal touch to this young minister Titus on the Isle of Crete. Paul tells Titus to ordain elders in every city. They must be men that will adorn the gospel (verse 10). When people see how trustworthy trustworthy Christians are then they will believe in God our Saviour. Paul says he is soon to leave, "It is up to you Titus." We come thirsting for a meaning to life. We know, "where there is no vision the people perish". The greatest meaning is found in the teachings of Jesus. Only Jesus could say, "I am the resurrection, he that believ- eth in me shall have everlasting everlasting life." John 11:25, Paul tells Titus not to be blown around by evéry wind of doctrine. It's up to us to proclaim that message of love and understanding that Jesus gave us. We thank God thàt we can go to the Bible and learn that message. When hiring a student be sure to give detailed instructions instructions on how to do the task perfectly.

He said, "Drive the team to the north end of the field and strike out the land". Pick out an object straight south then drive the team towards it making your first furrow". The farmer waited a while then drove out in the car to see how the lad was progressing. progressing. He was furious. "Such a crooked furrow I never saw in my life." The lad said,"I did as you told me, you said choose an object at the south end of the field and drive straight for it. I did. I kept my eye on the Jersey cow." In last weeks news I was indeed surprised to read; "from August 10th to August 20th we can expect the best rainfall of the year."

Issues that, in fact, affect the Town of Newcastle. Now I am told by people in high places that it is being said the letter was not written by myself. Ordinarily I do not respond to this kind of statement but since I am considered a newcomer to the political scene I feel the electorate has the right to get to know me as an individual. They have the right to know who I am and what I stand for. To know what my values are. To me, the need for honesty, between all people, is essential. It is only when individuals .are honest with one another that they can communicate and co-operate. For this reason, I would never sign my name to a letter that 'did not state my personal •beliefs and that had not been written by myself personally. I try to make it my policy to avail myself of every source of knowledge I know of that is related to issues of concern to me and to then consider all information, all sides, all knowledge gained. It is after this process I will reach my own conclusions and speak out, write letters, take a stand. At least then, if one makes an error and receives a "clout" one knows what the "clout" is for. But what is really great is when one has reached the right conclusion and knows within themselves the job was well done. Maybe if some members of our present Council had the same policy my letter of July 30th, 1980 would not have been able to contain the rather lengthy list of issues that it did. Sincerely, • * Diane Harare. possibility of purchasing or exchanging Hydro land adjoining adjoining the Basin site.
