Forrester, Editor ^ ii» ■ mm ' Our Double Standard During the past months we have read much as to drinking and driving and the death toll that mounts due to the practice of getting behind the wheel of a car when not capable of handling the horsepower under the hood or in making proper judgements. The tide has been such that even governments are now considering stiffer penalties for those who are found to be guilty of drinking and driving when impairment impairment is considered a fact. A survey recently made public and conducted at the Exhibition Ball stadium, Toronto, points to an increase increase in rowdyism; fighting and vomiting due to the serving of beer at the stadium during games and this becomes even increasingly so when double-headers are played. This fact will not in anyway stop the sale of beer at the stadium. It is a public demand that it exist for the games and this will outcry any note as to the carnage on the thoroughfares of the community. In a sense it is a double standard and it.not only exists in Toronto but across the nation and no doubt the world. One could think of a number'of sporting events in the Town of Newcastle where without a beer tent we are lead to believe the event could not exist. Council does not object nor does the public or at least it does not seem to. No matter how we look at it it does promote the act of drinking and driving and further in local sporting activities it becomes an act of acceptance for the younger set and too often we do set a poor example. It is interesting to note that the City of Oshawa council has opposed the selling of booze and bingo in community schools and this holdout by council appears now to be gaining the support of other groups in that particular community. We teach much by example and this has proven to be the case in the City of Oshawa on this single particular particular instance. We do live a life of double standards.

Town takes Courtiçe pian back to drawing board Members of council just one week after recommending through their General Purpose committee meeting that revisions revisions be made in the 1 boundaries of some Courtice Neighbourhood plans have returned the recommendation back to staff for further review with developers and objectors 1 and that a further report be presented to council members for their consideratioif. \ The General Purpose committee had accepted revision to the boundaries and re-alotted population figures for three Neighbourhood sectors in the Courtice area. This action was taken due to the result of an impact study by the firm of Gardner Gardner Lee as to sensitive areas in the Courtice scheme. Courtice Heights proponents and Mr. Pollard of the Courtice area objected to the revisions stating it hampered development of lands under-thejr ownership in the area. ♦overloaded at busy times because of the heavy volume of calls.

So they made animals and a manger till all was ready except one thing. What was that? Yes, all was ready but the baby Jesus. He was not to be put in the manger till Christmas morn. The villagers hurried there on Christmas morn but Matthew was gone and the manger was empty. The children were asked to suggest what should be done. One suggested a doll, another a live baby.
