After the paper came out last week 1 got a cal] froni a resident on Scott Street. She wanted to thank JOe in the column for his work in getting the street lighting improved on that street. It is now safer and a pleasure to walk ahong Scott in the evening. This is just one example of the many ways that Joe has worked for the people in his area and it is appreciated. Sometimes we are too quick to complain and a bit slower to say thank-you. SCOUT PAPER DRIVE Phease try to have your newspapers bundled and at the road by 9: 00 a. m. Saturday as it is paper day. CORRIDOR AREA RATEPAYERS The next executive meeting of the C.A.R.P. is Tuesday, Me April 15 in the Whitby Municipal Building at 8:00 p.m. GENERAL MEETING Please keep in mind the annual meeting and election of of- ficers to be on Tuesday 29 April at 8:00 p.m. in Dr. Robert Thornton School gymnasiwn. DR. ROBERT THORNTON SCHOOL The students of Thornton School are about to start a second campaign to raise money for the school by selling magazine subscriptions. The students are'not supposed to go door-to- door, but just seil to parents and a close circle of friends. If you are planning to take out a subscription or to renew a present one then why not ask a Thorton student to do it for you. Ahl coupons and discounts will be honored and the school will stili receive their percentage. It is only through efforts like this that the school is able to provide the 'little extras' that boost the moral of the school. With ail the budget cuts etc. the board cannot afford to give each school ail they want. Thornton School will use the money for unifornis for the sports teams and extra sports equipment.

On May 4, the local party will be holding its nomination meeting for the anticipated campaign. It will be held at the U.A.W. Hall, 140 Hunt Street, Ajax, starting at 7:30 p.m. The guest speaker for the evening will be Ontario leader Michael Cassidy. According to party spokesmen Donald Warne and Gordon McKay, "the party is convinced that the NDP is now seen as the real alternative to the tired old parties whose 'tweedledum- tweedledee' twiddling of the economy has got Ontario in- to such an economnic mess. "The decay of manufac- turing in this area, exem- plified by the closing of Firestone and the layoffs at Chrysher and the lack of af- fordable housing point to the need for dynamic new economic planning and leadership. " They said that the party is tired of what is referred to unwanted government plans to dump "a host of unwanted government plans to dump "a host of unwanted things" such as "'toxic wastes, gar- bage, an airport and Seaton". The epokesmen said that the "NDP is appealing to al those who want a significant change in the style of gover- nment". "The NDP lost by a narrow margin in the last electioni and have every con- fidence that this time they can recapture the seat," they said. Anyone needing more in- formation about the nomination meeting should caîl the area NDP office at 723-5917.
