---- 4 (continued) would mean reallocating 35 units from the senior citi- zens to private Sevelop- ment. 'But Catch 22 is the fact that council's original ap- proval for the land's devel- opment' is 'hitched to 'the government program, Coun. Vern Asselstine summed it up accurately. "To reallocate this develop- ment now would not be pun- ishing the provincial government, it would be hurting the senior citizens who are lining up for these - units now." If anyone is to back down, thinks Assel- stine, it should be the pro- vince, and not council. Coun. Richard Drew dis- agreed, saying that there is too many developers wait- ing to go to sit by and wait for the province to make up its mind. "We could still be waiting a year from now," he said.

The "in phase one to phase two' was a softening of the original motion by Coun. Taylor. Originally it sounded too much like an ultimatum for Coun. Assel- stine. "I don't want to give them the idea that we are not interested anymore." he said. An earlier attempt by Taylor to "gamble with poker chips' failed when no one else wanted to play. Coun. Taylor wanted to leave the 35 units as they were, but award another 35 units to Cohoon and Allin out of Phase One. Trouble with that is, how- ever, that phase one deve- lopment is topped up and near overflowing, "If you approve these, you'll have to knock off 35 others to make the room," pointed out Rose. Coun. Taylor said he was willing to gamble that at least 35 units of Phase One would not be developed. "But what if your hand is played?' asked Rose. "Do you think 35 more. units is going to overflow our lagoon system?' asked Taylor. Coun. Rose pointed out that the cake is "only so big, no matter how you slice it. We must take a stand," he said. "It is no good to play games and pretend we don't know what it will all add up to." Coun. Taylor agreed. "I - --guess-1'm- just-tired of the cat and mouse game, with us always being the mouse."

Employment activity "at the Canada Manpower Centres in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax for the month of January remained stable for this time of year. A total of 295 placements were made through the three offices during the month. - The January 1976 placement figure was 663; however the 373 post office placements for December 1975 were re- corded in January 1976, whereas the December 1976 post office placements were recorded in the statistics for December 1976. As a result, other placement activity for January 1977 showed a slight increase over January 1976. A total of 8,287 people without employment were registered in the three Cen- tres, consisting of 4,224 male and 4,063 female registrants. This is an increase over December 1976 figures when 7,591 unemployed people were registered. The differ- ence is attributable to several layoffs in the manu- facturing sector and also to the termination of vacancies that were created during the holiday season. In January there were 17 Canada signed agreements approved under the Canada Manpower Industrial Train- ing Program, As a result of these agreements, 17 people will benefit from both train- ing and employment with the various companies in our area. At the end of January there were 92 people receiv- C HHARGEN eo ing academic upgrading at Durham College in prepar- "ation to "enter the various skill courses.
