Forrester, Ectitoç > Planning philosophy changes One might say with considerable confidence that over the years that although the philospohy of local planning never really changed the pendulum of change in planning has always been evident and the swing in change continues. The philosophy of land use has never really changed but the players change bringing with them individual ideas which may not be compatible with t-he initial theme of planning. These players are the elected representatives. They are the players if they give an inch find they are in a.race with pressure from developers and the game is real hardball. Promoters Promoters are quick to shift emphasis when that opportunity arises and of course this is a natural part of the game. Planning is all too often not the science of planning but rather the science of politics, . ' Rural development has taken making side trips, all with the same result however. The gamut has run from checkerboard strip development to ten acres lotsd, forty acre lots nad as pointed out recently to the council of the Town of Newcstle Estate development. They all have the same results and this was noted on Monday by A1 Strike when he gave his opinion that strip development was- only being being replaced by Estate residential plans. • As,one looks over the past twenty years in this district nothing really has changed in planning, politics being what it has always been. Of course there is now more paper and hours upon hours are spent both in and out of council'still fighting the same problems and actually in the same way. One could ask will Courtice end up a more planned community community than either of the older centres of Bowmanville, Orono or Newcastle. Newcastle. It makes you wonder With all the trade restrictions now coming out of the United States on has to wonder to what .limits Canada will have to go to finalize any form of free trade agreement. If the powers that exist in the U.S, have the political power to gain trade barriers, surtaxes and charges on such as shakes, shingle, lumber, potash, fish and other exports from Canada then they must have the same power to direct any form of free trade agreement. .! As Reagan said lately of arms negotiations, the United State must negotiate from a position of strength. It appears that they also wish to negotiate free trade from that same position.

Roach pointed out that separate high school students have been housed in the two elementary schools at the expense of the It's Up To You You are the fellow who has to decide Whether you'll do it or toss it aside You are the fellow who makes up' your mind Whether you'll lead or linger behind-- Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar Or be contented to stay just where you are Take it or leave. Here's something to do Just think it over. It's all up to you! What do you wish? To be known as a shirk. Or known as a good man who's willing to work. Scorned for a loafer or praised by your chief Rich man or poor man or beggar or thief? Eager or earnest or dull through the day, Honest or crooked? It's you who must say! You must decide in the face of the test Whether you'll shirk it or give your best. Unknown Saturday was a fine Indian Summer Summer day. There was work "Bee" at Kendal Church. A number of men made a fine job of. covering the stone foundation on the north side of the church with cement while another mixed group puttied and elementary students. He said they needed space outside their present facility to get things back to normal. Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education director, Gary Tushingham is to examine the availability of space and enrolment projections for the public system. There are presently 75 secondary students from grades 9 to 11 in. Cobourg and 86 in Bowmanville in the separate school system. The board expects 50 to 60 students to enrol in grade 9 in 1987 thus increasing increasing the numbers. Wm. Carman, a member of the local committee states that space is not available as to classrooms in either Bowmanville or Cobourg high schools. He said he had grave doubts that such a system was workable other than the possible purchasing of education by the separate school board when such education was available within the public school system. Carman said the joint committee will be meeting again this month but doubted a report would be available from the public school board as to the request put forward by the separate school board. , Roach said the public school board may be shocked with the prp- posal put forth but further said he hoped a fair solution cOuld be found through further dialogue. Roach said the final decision will be imposed by the Planning and Implementation Implementation Committee, a provincial provincial body overseeing the changes brought about by the pxtention of full public fundin'g for separate schools in Ontario. The provincial Commission has" asked for impact statements from both the separate and public boards to be submitted by mid November, Wilf Day of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board said he was optimistic that a settlement could be reached as to the sharing of transportation facilities whereby duplication could be reduced. painted the windows on the west side of the Sunday School. It was sunny and warm there. Others did odd jobs like sandpapering new doors or fixing drapes for Sunday School petitions. A pot-luck supper that was a real banquet followed the work. . Sunday was another perfect autumn day, our Anniversary. The greeters at the door were Mrs. Catherine Switzer and April Switzer. The anthem was entitled, "I know who holds Tomorrow". The scripture reading was Genesis 22: 1-14 and Mark 5: 21-34. Rev. Bryon Ransom sang a solo entitled "The Touch of His Hand." and the sermon was: "The Touch of Faith" by our guest speaker Mr. Larry Westlake. Rev. B. Ransom told the children how much their gifts of food were needed by several families with four children. Next Sunday there will be a large box at the church door and any gifts of food you bring will be sent to those in need. Remember Kendal, bazaar November 8th from 2 - 4 p.m. Mr. -Randy Thiele the builder of the large log house on the sixth line has now decided to drill for water. The driller has gone down one hundred hundred feet at the time of writing. "Come back over the years with me to the crew-room of an R.A.F. station in Lincolnshire in 1943." says Francis Gay. Thëre in flying suit and helmets, a group of young airmen wait for the oVder that will send them into the night* towards their target, for. they are none other than the famous "Dambusters" Squadron 617. Then just before the order is given onç of their number takes out a Bible, opens it, and begins to read a passage to the others..."If I ascend ascend up into heaven, Thou art. there, if I take the wings of the mor- , ning, even there shall Thy hand lead me; even the. night shall be light about'me..." Who was-thc, man with the Bible? Fie was Flight Lieutenant Jock Cook, D.F.C. His parents were in the Salyation Army, and young Jock had been raised in its great tradition. Oh, it would have been a temptation for a young man to hide his beliefs from the others, imagining imagining they might scoff. But Jock did no such thing. And when his comrades comrades discovered he was a Salvationist, Salvationist, far from scoffing, they asked asked him to say a few words before they took off on a mission from which they knew some might never return. The man who invented the shopping shopping cart just died last December. He watched ladies shopping with a wire basket on their arm. He noticed noticed that whçp it became full they stopped buying. So he thought if the basket were on wheels they 1 could keep on filling it up and push it with ease around the store. Then ' of course the seat for the run-a-bout child is another advantage. He's .up where he can't grab everything he sees. However people leave the shopping carts to blow around the , parking ; lot instead of returning them to the stand. Remember every time one is broken, food must go up , to pay for new carts, M. Saviour *s Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev. James Small .
