These areas are now being patrolled by OPP detach- ments at Whitby, Newcastle and Brechin, When the 7 expansion is complete, the regional force will have an estimated 42 more policemen and seven division headquarters, rather than the current. six.

This year the former Scott township will be placed (continued) moves right to the heart of the event--in the mall in from of the post office. There will be more of the same kind of things as last year, such as egg-catching, melon-seed spitting, plate spinning, and more. There's % an event or two that won't be announced until the competition--presumably to keep the chicken-hearted from chickening out.

Next year, the former Darlington township will be divided between the Oshawa. and Bowmanville detachments. In 1978, the old township of Clarke will be added to' the Bowmanville area, while Uxbridge takes over Reach and Scugog in 1979. The former township of Cartwright comes under the Bowmanville detachment in 1980, while the final expan- sion in 1982 will add Brock and Thorah to the Uxbridge patrol area. . Durham Region Police Plans completed other categories you can think of. Since the chamber doesn't want to-turn away the proud owner of any pet, the "mutt" in mutt show can stretch to include all kinds of pets--from cats to frogs. Saturday will be the start of a two-day round robin tennis tournament at the Palmer Park courts. Ad- vance registrations is a must for this event. Following the power boat races Saturday afternoon, the popular barbeque at the park will be held again this year. followed by a dance in the evening featuring the music of Little Caesar and the Consuls. Sunday, the last day of . activities, will see the second canoe race of the year when the Scugog His- torical Society stages "'Scugog Ho", an event that will hopefully be as success- ful as the Canoe the Non- quon race held earlier in the year.

New to get into the West- ern Weekend effort is the Town Hall 1873 Committee. A Western show at the Old Town Hall will be featured Sunday evening. According to Mr. Drew, a greater number of booths and exhibits this year has resulted in the decision to put booths back to back along the centre of the mall area instead of along the sides. More planters, larger trees and a greater general effort than ever i ated to transform the ustial bus- iness-like downtown to a thriving festival atmosphere.

He said the growth of his force's coverage will give residents in the affected areas more frequent and complete service. iT, ""The commissioner of the OPP has made it clear to me,' he stated 'that finan- cial constraints by the province make it impossible for his detachments to keep up the type of service they have in the past." He said decreasing man- power and mileage quotas on OPP cruisers have erod- ed the amount of coverage given those areas in Dur- ham not yet served by the regional police. One change in plan was made recently at the insist- ence of Commissioner Lorne Graham of Cannington. Commissioner Graham fought for, and received, a QUALITY PARIS PEALE BAI VPA PMN TE UO Yi A vols 3 [AES EA ie 3 RAPed 5138 Od DRS Vt reduction in the number of phases from seven to six. He said he wanted to see all of Thorah included when the Brock area came into the fold. Previously, the northern half of the old township was not due to be included until the final year, when it would have been the only part of Durham outside the regional force's coverage. Chief Jenkins said finan- cial cutbacks have already forced the transfer of 20 policemen to Orillia from the Brechin OPP. By next year, the 12 who remain will be operating out of a storefront in Beaverton. When Brock comes under regional policing, Canning- ton will become the site of a division headquarters, joining those in Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge. Commissioner Alan Dewar said the plan shows Durham is taking a big step in com- pleting the idea of regional . government.

"But all areas are paying for regional "police and not getting the same service." a Chief Jenkins agreed: og by 1979 "There is one region that has not taken over one more inch in the past five years.
