Forrester, Editor It was Jobs, Jobs, Jobs in 84 During the campaigning for the 1984 federal election it was job, jobs, jobs, by Brian Mulroney something that is not so prevalent in this election to this date. During the past four years a good number of jobs have been created mainly, with 80 percent, in the smaller industries employing under fifty people. On the other side the large corporate corporate industries have, in fact, decreased the number of jobs in their plants over this period of time. One of the most interesting and possibly most effective job creating endeavours provided skilled workers has been the apprenticeship system whereby apprentices spend part time in school and part time on the job. Since 19844 the federal government has paid for the in- class apprenticeship training according to the demand of the market while the province pays the cost of delivery of the programs. programs. In 1988 the federal government has put a cap on assistance to Ontario at $37 million not near enough to cover what they had undertaken in previous years. It had menât that some 20 percent of the trainees would be without the in-class program and employers were left out on a limb as to the continuation continuation of the funding and program. Within the last week the Provincial government has dropped dropped $5 million into the program to keep the in-class portion of the program in operation. Industry in Ontario is in dire need of skilled help and still there are the unemployed. The apprenticeship-program surely is one of the best with the close contact for the apprentice both at school and in the work place. Broken commitments are not knew to the present federal government. Jobs, jobs, jobs. Recognizes benefit of forest The Conservation Council of Ontario, a chartible orgranization and one versed in the benefits of our forests as they relate to the quality of life, water, land and air, has, in choosing the Ganaraska Forest as a model of forest management, paid tribute to this community and those who have been part of the local forest program dating back to 1924, then the beginning of the County Forest. Although the Conservation Council is well aware of the benefits of this track of forested land it could be safely said that the Town of Newcastle council is oblivious to these benefits. Council received a letter from the Council outlining the benefits of the forest and suggesting that council support a review and report for publication of the sound management practices and that council support support financially with $1500.00. The letter was received and filed without a comment from any council member including those that represent Ward Three on the Ganaraska and the three Mayoralty candidates who only last Thursday in the Mayoralty candidate meeting in Bowmanville pronounced their comittment to protection of the environment. Yes there was no question. question. Disappointing in the least and not only as far as the $1500 is concerned concerned but the lack of interest to even make a simple comment on the recognition the Council has given the*forest.

The authors lived in Newcastle from 1954 to 1960. In fact on May 29, 1955 when our new Hammond Organ was dedicated Wm. Raynsford sang with the Newcastle choir in Kendal at that service. The book begins with a concise summary of the part played by the Canadian Forces in the war years. The book then describes the return of the veterans to a changed land and a changed life... The second part of the book is devoted to the plight of the children...The final section contains contains the recollections of some of the children. This is Billy R. story. Billy R. was only a few months old when he came into the care of the Soldiers' Aid. His own good memory and information supplied to him by a variety of sources over the years, have enabled him to piece together the story of his years as,a • ward. The story begins: My father, a Britisher from Surrey, Surrey, fought in the Boer War while still in his teens. He served for three years with the 19th Hussars of the Line, and was awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal, with clasps for his service in the Transvaal during 1901 and 1902. He received permission permission to reside in the Dominion of Canada, to which he migrated in 1912.
