ad 5 ay ~~ ha -- SS SEA TIN, 16 -PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 12th, 1974 Commission proposes changes in Durham Region A commission appointed by the provincial govern- ment proposed Friday changes in nearly half the present 117 ridings in Ontario -- including all four in Durham Region. The recommendations of the three-man commission, appointed last December, in- clude the addition of six more ridings or electoral districts in the Toronto area. The current provincial riding of Oshawa, held by Legion ladies honoured at Appreciation Night Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 419, Port Perry, honoured the Ladies Aux- iliary at an Appreciation night dinner June 8th. Served by branch members and prepared by Comrade Ken Jackson, assisted by Veterans sons Dave Jack- son and Glen McCoy, the dinner was a gourmet's de- light. The memorable even- ing was concluded with danc- ing to some very nostalgic World War II songs. The new Ladie's Auxiliary executive were installed re- cently at a ceremony con- ducted by Comrades Hank Presky, Michael D. Sullivan Tony Basciano, Wally Smith, and Bob Primeau of Peter- borough Branch R.C.L. June Symes, President; Clara Warren, Past Presi- dent; Treasurer. Wanda Durham, Secre- tary. Executive committee, Agnes Garvey, Ruby Adder- ley, Bert Mason, Elizabeth Andrews and Mabel Cook. Sgt. at Arms, Marilyn Hut- chison assisted by Bert Mason. Sports Officer, Mary Hawes. Dr. Charles Mcllvenn, would be reduced in size geographi- cally by about one quater if the recommendations are aproved. The new riding of Oshawa would consist of all the city south of King Street, plus the protion of Oshawa between King and Rossland from the city's western boundary to Ritson Rd. NORTH RIDING All of the city north of Rossland, plus the portion of the city east of Ritson and north of King St., would join with the new Town of New- castle to form the new riding of Durham East -- which would replace the old Dur- ham County Riding now held by Conservative MPP Alex Carruthers. The riding would include East Whitby. The existing Durham riding would be split four ways. Besides Newcastle joining Durham East, Hope Township would join North- umberland Riding, Manvers and Cavan Townships would join Victoria-Halibur- ton and old Cartwright Township, now part of Scugog Township. would join the new riding of Durham North. Durham North would be the new name of what is now Ontario Riding, held by Con- servative MPP Dr. Matthew Dymond, who has announced he will not seek re-election. BIG CHANGE The new riding would take in all of what was Ontario Riding except Rama and Mara Townships, at the extreme tip of the old riding. As well as Cartwright, East Gwillimbury Township would be added to the riding. The fourth provincial rid- ing in the region, Ontario South, held by Environment Minister William Newman, would lose two areas to other ridings and gets a new name Durham West. The riding would consist-of Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. West Rouge, the western community lost by Pickering to Scarborough under regio- nal government, goes to Scarborough West. East Whitby Township goes to Durham East. Thus the four ridings in the region would closely follow the new regional boundaries with the exception of Dur- ham North which includes East Gwillimbury. Oshawa riding would be flanked by Durham West and Durham East with Durham North just that, to the north. Dr. Dymond when asked by Oshawa Times said the new Durham North riding will "not be a bad riding." "It sounds like a pretty compact riding," he added. "If I was to run again I'd be sorry to lose Rama and Mara Townships. they've always loyally voted for me." Dr. Dymond said he doubted that redistribution would affect the fortunes of the next Pc hopeful "'as long as the Conservatives contin- ue to provide good govern- ment." PUBLIC SAY The commission which recommended the changes consisted of Mr. Justice Campbell Grant, Legisla- tive Clerk, Chief Election Officer Roderick Lewis and Robert Sanson of the Univer- sity of Western Ontario. It will received submissions from the public in regard to the realignment plan. Premier William Davis requested that the date for making submissions be extended past July 12. The federal election is scheduled July 8. p \ as a A aE ia Na Sx EYRE RAY 3 SLT Se Th NAINA 3) ¢ [RY ( A Ji ' , ht J / % Fe / Wa, Before taking to the water, students of the Mobile Sailing School "are instructed on proper methods of rigging and derigging a boat.

The course began on Monday this week and will continue through Friday. . The Ontario Sailing Acco- ciation and Molson's Brewery have Sponsored the course. . The forty five students have been split up into three groups of 15 each, who will attend the course in the morning, afternoon and eve- ning respectively. | The clinics are held at 45 centres in Ontario by Mol- continued sites for a possible recrea- tion complex which would have a swiming pool, tennis courts. baseball facilities, and a twin pad. These are the fair grounds and the landfill site. However, he said, these are all part of preliminary investigations and a decision "will be a long time in coming." Laforte's contention was that a decision should be taken in time to place orders for equipment etc. before September for construction to begin soon. The ratepayers finally hammered out a resolution recommending to Council that a study committee be formed - an offshoot of the limitations of an existing recreation committee of Council. The new committee is expected to have representa- tion from all groups in the son's who send a fully equip- ped van with five Petrel sailboats manned by two certified Canadian Yachting Association instructors. The instructors for the course in Port Perry are Greg and Fred Cockburn. Greg Cockburn told the Star "By the end of the week all the students will have knowledge of the basics of sailing and will be able to handle a boat properly." The course includes both on-land and on-water train- ing. Ratepayers township and cover all aspects of recreation includ- ing hockey. The resolution urging its formation was moved by Bev Muir and seconded by Bill Ferguson. The Ratepayers also passed a second resolution moved by Clive Boyd that Council enlarge its present recreation committee and expand its sphere of activi- ties.
