The police will soon have another chance ta press for higher wages and increased benefits, however. The com- mission and the association start l:R() lG.1 negotiatians for an '86 contract in January. Allan and Attersley will be meeting across the table once again. Despite Allan's caîl for the commission chair- man's resigriation, bath gentlemen have been re- elected ta head their respective organizations and hence next year's contract talks. Culture and recreation priorities commuter population is an asset ta the comn- munity. «These people who talk about the industrial residential ratio dont know what they're talking about. We can't put a fence around the community. I don't know what the term commuter even means anymore. What do you cali people who live in Whitby and work in Oshawa? Are they commuters?" said the Mayor. "Residential develop- ment accounts for a lot of assessment and the type of housing we're getting here in Whitby is the best in the region bar none." While he doesn't share his critics' concerns about the town's in- dustrial residential development ratio, Mayor Attersley said the town has made a concerted effort to at- tract new industry ta the area to offset the com- munity's reliance on the auto industry. Although General Motors and the other auto makers form a vital part of Whitby's industrial base, Mayor Attersley said diver- sifying Whitby's in- dustry is a top priarity. In the past f ive years, he said the town has at- tracted 60 new in- dustries which have created some 1,000 jobs. Because of the heavy resîdential growth, Mayor Attersley said culture and recreation will be big priorities for the town in the next three years. "We want ta see that we have the cultural and recreational facilities in place for these people. Things like the Whitby Little Theatre, the art gallery - there are a lot of new people getting involved. Recreation and culture are going ta be prime concerns in the next three years," said Mayor Attersley.
