Pennell, Clark & PC's Gear Up Scott Fennell, federal Progressive Conservative candidate for Ontario Riding, and a large number of residents from the riding attended an Open House at the new PC offices at 136 Commercial Ave. Ajax last week. "I want to thank everyone for attending our Open House, the campaign team did a fine job and I hope that everyone anjoyed themselves as much as my wife and I did," Scott said. The candidate said: "It's been a very busy and gratifying period. In ad- dition to the opening, Joe Clark, Leader of the PC Party, metwith myself and other area PC candidates last week to bring us up-to- date on what's happening in Ottawa." "The budget debate, the Audi tar -General's Report and the poorly conceived charges to the U.I.C. Act were discussed in detail. Mr. Clark is an excellent leader and encouraged us all to keep working because the Liberal's days in Ot- tawa are numbered." Scott added. Mr. Clark complimented all of the candidates at the meeting for their work to date and stressed that both the candidates and the PC workers must maintain momentum during the pre - writ period. "The timing of the meeting was excellent because 1 could pass along the concerns of our Riding people to Joe Clark. I feel that we PC's have a better line of communication to Ottawa and this aids all citizens in our area," Scott explained- 'The xplained'The Open House and the on-going meetings with Joe Clark are only the begin- ning. The era of arrogance and insults to all Canadians will Som be forced to an end by the voters. It really is time to get Canada working again," Scott concluded Only 15.3 % Don't Drink Of 993 respondents (weighted sample) questioned in a recent household survey in the Durham region of Ontario, 25.1% reported some dependency on alcohol, 2.8% were problem drinkers, 56.8% were classified as social drinkers, and 15.3% were abstinent. The Durham Region Survey was conducted by the Regional Branch office of the Addiction Research Foundation of Ontario in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). Similar studies are being conducted in Zambia, Scotland, and Mexico, the results of which will be compared with date received from the Durham study.

An appeal is before the Ontario Municipal Board in which the Region of Durham is objecting to the way in which erosion control projects in the Town of Pickering are to be financed. Councillor Don Kitchen failed to get support for a motion in an attempt to halt special erosion control projects proposed by M.T.R.C.A. which could cost the Region $75,000 over the next three years. Under the present system, hecause the M.T.R.C.A. projects are additional to 'heir approved budget the Region d Durham would leave to pay the full cost of erosion control work done. Under the usual budget procedure the cost of Nl T.R.C.A. programs is r.ared by the :: n lci pe lities which form .• authority. :-lie Region has objected r K,w the money is to be :tied. and is concerned c a precedent might be if they approve the -Pecial extraordinary .!

This is a blanket budget which leaves us without knowing exactly where they are spendicg the money." If the O.M.B. rules in favour of the Region d Durham in its appeal, the cost of erosion control will be spread between the municipalities of York, Halton Peel and Durham. New Date For Carolling The staff of the Town of Pickering Public Library wishes to announce that the Christmas Carolling originally scheduled for Wed.

Dec. 21, 1978 opinion a page for express;on for you and us . . 40 Kmh Want toget a 40 kmh (25 mph) speed limit on your street? It's simple -just apply to Scarborough Council (or any other local council) and your chance of achieving success is great. This week Scarden Ave. got its 40 kmh zone unanimously approved by council. Why did Scarden Ave. get this lower speed limit? Because some residents want to slow down traffic. There is no school on Scarden - it is a plain, ordinary residential street in the borough. But it has a couple of determined residents who feel that the new lower speed limit will solve the 'problem". The cost is $300 of property taxes for signs. This newspaper did a survey of sample streets in the borough to see if 40 kmh was a popular speed limit. Confederation Dr. west of Scarborough Golf Club Rd. has a 40 kmh zone but the same street east of Scarborough Golf Club Rd. is 50 kmh. Neither has a school. Susan St. which has a school has a 50 kmh, and Scar- borough Golf Club Rd. has a 60 kmh. zone despite the fact that i t has Tecumseh Sr. P.S. and Golf Rd. School right near Lawrence Ave. Manse Rd in West Hill has a 40 kmh limit but it has no sidewalks, has ditches and a school. If enough citizens petition council and its members con- tinue to approve these requests, we could end up with the slowest moving traffic flow in Metro. Unfortunately, the trend is popular all over Metro Toronto. Members of council are afraid to stand up and say "no" to these ndculous speed zones which do nothing for safety but just use up our taxes on signs and paper work. Serious Farce? Scarborough Council has come up with its latest ap- pointments to boards and committees over which it has control. The procedure was a farce. The comedy started back a few weeks ago when council advertised for citizens to apply for planning board. board of health, public library board committee of adjustment etc. About 75 people applied and were told to go to the civic centre on Thurs. Dec. 14th. The interviews were carried out by Mayor Gnu Harris, Controller Brian Harrison. Joyce Trimmer and Frank Faubert. Rdreshmehts were served. At the end of the evening, clerk Jack Poots announced the decision of the board of control for these carious ap- poi tet men ts. The scene switched to council an Mon. Dec. i th when alderman quickly voted for the 26 positions. Alderman John Wimbs rose once to ask who was "E.E.S. Campbell" - Clerk Poots read a resume. The vote was unanimous for this man on the "Scarborough Civic Award of Merit". His credentials seemed great but the aldermen appeared to be unaware at him as a person. A number of rejected applicants voiced their disap- pointment in the procedure especially when they learned that most members of council had committed themselves to vote for present holders of the offices as early as last summer. "We have been misled,.' declared Lloyd Sharp, who got five votes after 13 members of council said they would vote for him when he canvassed them prior to last week. Is this a proper method of appointing citizens to these boards and committees? Are people appointed because of their experience or ability? For example, do appointees to board of health have some knowledge in this field? Have they served as volunteers on local cancer society chapters or worked in a hospital auxiliary? Perhaps council should revise its appointments method. Right now the impression is that appointments are decided before advertisements solicit applicants. This is hardly a suitable method. If council is really serious about these appointments. surely it will adopt a decidedly new way For Handicapped Ala., Martin M.P..

Appointments The last few weeks have seen appointments of all sorts, high and low. They have been made so quickly that we have found it difficult. to make a comment. Of course, this weekly newspaper only appears every Thursday and government Waders are fast. First of all Prime Minister Trudeau startled everyone by appointing a'former NDP Manitoba premier as our next governor-general. Ed Schreyer apparently qualified for this position because he is pro -monarchy and has said so publicly. He is involved in politics although after defeat by the Tories, his party has criticized him for lack of enthusiastic effort as leader of theoQposition. Traditionally our governor generals have been near the end of active careers and not too politically involved. Mr. Schreyer is not a traditional appointee. From a cash point of view, the GG's cost to the Canadian public is about $2.2 million a year with a salary of $50,000 annually for the governor general himself. After his five years of service, a governor general retires on a pension of $38,000 a year. If Ed Schreyer retires in five years he will be only 4B years old. He could live until 80 or 90 years old and therefore cost taxpayers millions more. We would hate to criticize Mr. Schreyer who seems to be an excellent person, but surely there must be dozens of Canadians in the west with non Anglo-Saxon or French backgrounds whose careers could have been honoured with this appointment. Let's turn our attention to Mr. Tnudeau's next appointment home. The amendments proposed to the Railway Act would ensure first, that all new passenger cans ordered in the future are designed to handle and accommodate wheelchair passengers. Second, it would require the provision of proper loading and unloading facilities forwheelchairs at principal railway stations. This Bill reflects Mr. Martin's long-standing concern with handicapped persons. Before his election in 1974, he was Vice -President of the Ontario March of Dimes. Mr. Martin hopes C-296 will receive second reading some time lata this Session. This is the second Private Members' Bill that Mr. Martin has introduced in his initial term as Member of Parliament for Scarborough West. His first Bill, also to amend the Railway Act, became law in July 1977, one of only five (other than simple name changes to constituencies) that have become law since this Parliament began in 1974. It provides that public notice must be given before expansion of any railway marshalling yard and arose from a situation that was brought to Mr. Martin's attention in the Bir- chmount/Eglinton area of his Scarborough West Riding. The amendment has already resulted in a public hearing in Scarborough's Civic Centre sponsored by the Railway Committee of the Canadian Transport Commission when Scaroorough West residents raised concerns over realignments required as a result of the Subway extension to Kennedy Road. - Bryce Mackasey to head up Air Canada. Here is a sheer outright political plum handout. Bruce Mackasey was the cabinet monster who gave bigger and better UIC payments, who couldn't solve postal problems, who ran in Quebec provincial politics to stop the PQ, and who quit there to try for federal politics in an Oct. 16th byelection and bombed out. A real winner! Naturally he would be a dwice to run one of our top nationalized companies - after all he has almost run out of places to go - and be is a dose buddy of the PM! But let's switch over to Queen's Park. It is only fair to note that Premier Davis is not letting Mr. Trudeau beat him at appointments. Mr. Davis calmly announced that the next chairman of Ontario Hydro will be Hugh Macaulay a hard working Progressive Conservative, brother of Robert Macaulay, who was a cabinet minister with Robarts, son of Leopold Macaulay, a former cabinet minister. What ever happened to Crown Corporations free of political influence? It would seem that regardless of political hue, ap- pointments are made just as in the past. Bob's Notes WE AGREE We have searched and searched to find some point on which we and Stephen Lewis could agree. You remember Stephen - he was leader of our provincial NDP but now is happily doing odd jobs here and there for capitalistic organizations. We understand that Stephen grew up in a middle class home, went to university, developed a beautiful gift with words, married a lovely socialist girl and now sends his children to a typical "socialistic" private school - Upper Canada College. He's the chap who while representing the provincial riding of Scarborough West never attended any official functions in the borough as MPP but repeatedly had the undying support of thousands of loyal union workers and socialists. We can't visualize that Stephen ever dug ditches, cultivated farmland, roughed it in the jungle, suffered near starvation on ships or deserts like some of us. He never built his own house physically nor sweated out the frantic development of a private enterprise. But .. on the question of baby seals on the ice floes of the Atlantic, apparently Stephen Lewis and we agree that they are numerous and are not threatened by Newfoundland seal hunters. Boy are we happy that Steve and we are in agreement on at least one topic. It sort of restores our faith in all those loval Scarborough West voters.

Well, apart from the fact that both you and your child will be another year older before this pied piper of the theatre returns• you missed a cracking good show . . probably the second best of all the pantos Lionel Blair has NEW HORIZONS TRAVEL LIMITED Village Square Finch at Victoria Pk. Air. Rail, Cruises, Charters Tours, Package Vacations 497.2728 brought to Canada. (Aladdin was the very best). You missed a circus setting that has the ex- citement of the real thing. You missed the glorious knockabout dancing and comedy of the ageless Desmond and Marks. You missed the exciting acrobatics of the Ben Karim Troupe. You missed the exquisitely hammy villainy and superb singing of Leon Greene. You missed the sweetness of Stacey Gregg in thetitle role. You missed the thrill of seeing the three dancing bears. You missed seeing Tudor Davies quite surpass Dannv LaRue in the role of the dame. You missed the pleasant singing of Gordon Thomson as the leading Merry Christmas Reflecting at Christmas• we give thanks to our many friends. • l v The restaurant and tavern at Ellesmere and Markblam.

When Runyon was marned for the second time, the marriage ceremony was performed by mayor Jimmy Walker in the apartment of Ed Frayne, a boxing writer on the New York American. I Wonder.. is he any relation - father perhaps - to the Toronto Sun's Trent Frayne, a man who I personally consider to be one of Canada's finest sports writers? The next item is for Hazel Forbes of The O'Keefe. On page 167 is a picture of entertainer Harry Richman with his wife, ex -show girl .. Hazel Forbes. Of course, it isn't The O'Keefe's Hazel but it does stun one momen- tarily. Another interesting book and an excellent last minute Christmas gift idea is A Gather Of Glass (ROM). It is a more or less informal history of glass and is illustrated with photographs from and of the Royal Ontario Museum's extensive collection of glass.The book is attractive, interesting, informative and blessedly reasonable in cost. The only possible criticism this corner might make is that it would have been even more enjoyable in colour. But, then, it would likely have cost almost twice as much. MOBILE SOPHISTICATION: Duke Vanderpuilje of Talking Drums sends along word of an interesting development in Hollywood. Call girls there are now equipped with beepers, those same little pocket -sized elec- tronic receivers that doctors and executives carry around to keep in touch with hospitals and headquarters. Apparently it all started in London when wealthy arabs began flocking into the English capital. They were advised to phone in their requests to several escort agencies which. in tum, provided their girls with beepers and sent them from hotel to hotel. In Hollywood. prostitutes who carry beepers explain to unsuspecting male acquaintances isic') that they are high paid emergency nurses "just doing this for extra money HISTORICAL NOTE: On Christmas day 1938, Cole Porter sustained an ac- cident while riding that caused him great physical suffering which lasted twenty years and ended with the amputation of his right leg.

Schedule Christmas Fire Safety If home fire precautions are neglected during the coming holiday season a Merry Christmas can turh into a family tragedy. The Scarborough Fire Department urges the public to exercise special care in setting up and decorating the Christmas tree, and draws your at- tention to the following points: Only fresh green trees should be purchased and stored outdoors or in an unheated garage until just before Christmas. The tree should have one or two inches cut diagonally from the butt and should then be set up with the butt im- mersed in water above the level of the fresh cut. Set up the tree away from sources of heat such as a fireplace, television set or radiator. Also be sure it does not block access to doors or windows in the event of a fire. Tests have proven that the safest tree is one with its butt set in water. However, if a tree is dried outbefore itis set up, it will not regain its moisture level. Use of a fire retar- dant chemical spray on your tree is no substitute for butt immersion. and It is not recommended. Remember to switch off the tree lights before leaving the home or going to bed. Metallic trees due to the danger of short circuits, should never be illuminated by strings of electric lights. Floodlights should be used away from the tree. Before decorating the tree check strings of electric lights for frayed cords or damaged insulation which might cause short circuits. Purchase only Christmas lightirg sets or artificial trees bearing the Canadian Standards Association label and use only non- flammable decorations. Careless Smoking is a constant fire hazard which poses special dangers during the festive season. Before retiring empty all ash trays into a metal container with a metal cover and remember to keep matches and lighters out of the reach of small chi Idren.

Be good to ycxirself, take ttx train. Christmas baking sessions. They can be a rewarding experience with the whole family pitching in to help. Do not spoil your fun. Remember, fire safety precautions go hand in hand with any good recipe. Overheated grease which can burst into flames on the top of the stove or in the oven is a major cause of burns and fires in the home. Use sturdy cooking utensils with heat resistant and tight handles, turned away from curious youngsters. Keep a lid handy to completely cover the pan should the grease suddenly ignite and flare up. Remember, never pick up the container and run. Also, remember that water is ineffective and will only spread the flaming grease. If you are unable to ex- tinguish the burning grease by turning off the heat and smothering with the lid, or by using a fire extinguisher if you have one ( close at hand), get everyone out of the house and try to remember to dose the door. Go to a neighbour's and telephone your local Fire Department. Children - Scarborough Fire Chief William E. K retha m asks us to remember to keep an eye on little children at this time of year. Never leave them alone even for an instant, no matter how strong the temptation to pay a short eisit to a neigh- bour or to make a last minute purchase.

Board of Education psychologist Bruce Whitehouse expects children with IQ's of 115 will do a little better than average. "But they would not be able to read at Grade 121evel," he said. "I expect them to do a lot better than average," Fava replied curtly. Patricia Collie, Trustee for Ward 2, said the math scores of the Scarborough Village kids are on a par with the scores kids get in the system. "Scarborough Village does not intend to produce scholars, she said. If you want high IQ's look at a program for the gif- ted." Parents in the audience applauded Collie's remarks. She said that parents who have withdrawn their children from the school did not understand the school's philosophy. When Scarborough Village opened some parents thought the key priority in the school's curriculum was the French language program. According to Patricia Collie there is a French language program at the school, but it has never been the sole reason for the school's existence. When parents discovered the French program did not meet their expectations they withdrew their chiktren from the school. Shirley Tomlinson, Trustee for Ward 7, said if parents who have children enrolled in the school are happy, then it means students will stay there. "We have to look at the numbers leaving very closely this year," she said. Mrs. Tomlinson wondered whether the academic standards at the school are high enough. She warned the committee to be cautious in light of the fact )0- !ft a . .Ww there is an alternative program at the school. But she added that if other schools were under the same scrutiny they might not measure up either. The Education Committee recommended that a brief report on Scarborough Village Public School be prepared in a year's time. 11% a Pleasure to serve vou.

Surprise Mom and Dad, or a special friend, with a set of brightly colored coasters or a gay Christmas tree ornament! They're a snap to make and you'll probably find the supplies right around the house. If not, they cost very little to buy. THINGS YOU NEED: Corrugated cardboard Christmas gift wrap or cards White glue Colored yarn if making decorations Paint brush Varnish and scissors Cut a circle from the cardboard, about 3-3!h inches in size. Trace around the rim of a wide glass or jar for this. You need I circle for each coaster or ornament. Cut same size circle from the gift wrap or colored greeting card and glue onto card- board circle, pressing down from center to outer edges. When glue is dry apply I coat of varnish—let dry overnight. Apply a second coat of varnish and let dry again overnight. (Clean the varnish brush after you use it so it doesn't get hard). You now have a pretty waterproof coaster. A set of four makes a handsome gift! If you want to make tree decorations. continue as follows: Glue colored yarn around edge of finished coaster. Cut a 5 inch piece of matching or other color yarn and glue onto back of coaster making a loop at the top. Now it's ready to hang on your tree or to give! Choosing Christmas Plants VINELAND - when you choose gift plants for Christmas, consider the kind of environment the plant will face. ..Unfortunately. most of the traditional Christmas plants make unsuitable houseplants," says Bob Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. "Knowing the requirements of the plants you select will help you choose the plant best suited to the new environment." For a coal home with plenty of light and humidity, a flowering potted azalea is ideal. In these conditions, azaleas will keep blooming throughout the holiday season. ..Azaleas are the type of plant that you should enjoy, then destroy." says Mr. Fleming. "Even the best gardeners have difficulty growing this plant." The poinsettia will generally last longer than the azalea, provided it is given proper attention. These plants prefer moderately cool tem- peratures ( 15 to 18 C), and adequate bright light and moisture. "For best results, move the poinsettia into a cool bright roan when it is not being used for decoration in the living area,.. says Mr. Fleming. One of the most attractive Christmas plants is the cyclamen. This plant also prefers cool, bright con- dtiorn. ..It takes greenhouse growers 15 months to produce a large cyclamen," says Mr. Fleming. 'All it takes is 15 minutes of cold air on the way home from the store to reduce its attractiveness." Cyclamen should be kept moist, but not wet, at all times. Remove spent blooms to keep the plant floweritg. For warmer homes, tuberous -rooted begonias, fibrous -rooted begonias, gloxinias, and chrysan- themums are recom- mended. These plants require good light, moist soil, and temperatures of 18 to 22 C. When you take the plant home, make sure it is wrapped securely before leaving the store, says Mr. Fleming. May your Christmas be one of Peace and Joy and Giving. Thanks to all.

Drinking Surrey In Durham Region reason for developing the survey, Mr. Brown stressed the importance of having a detailed stydy of problems related to alcohol use and abuse in the region before developing ap- propriate intervention and treatment measures. The survey provides part of the data on which the need for treatment facilities can be established. More than half the households contacted (57.2%) were comprised of a married couple with one or more children, and the average household size including young people aged less tha n 18 was 3.3 All Branches Of The Town of Pickering Public Library will be closed on Tuesday, December 26,1978 FOOD MARKET Hwy 2 Rouge Hills just east of Rouge Bridge You Deserve the Best for Your Christmas Dinner Order Your Fresh not Frozen GRADEA TURKEY NOW persons. Four types of drinkers were identified in survey findings: 1. Abstinent persons who had notdrunk alcohol in the previous year; 2. Social drinkers who had drunk alcohol but reported no problem or dependency symptoms; 3. Dependent drinkers who reported one or more dependency symptoms in the past year; and 4. Problem drinkers who did not report dependency symptoms. Serious dependence was defined as three or more 'dependency' symptoms, or three or more 'problems' associated with alcohol use. (For details wee Background Fact Sheet, Item 9 and 10). The Durham Study found that serious dependency, defined as three or more dependency or problem symptoms related to alcohol, was present in 5.5% of the respondents. The profile of these respondents was mainly male (85.50, married (60%), aged 30 or over (65%), and completion of some secondary school education (84%). About 73% were employed full- time. Very few of those categorized as having problems related to alcohol had received either formal or informal treatment. A high proportion (27.9%) of drinkers reported one or more problems or dependency symptoms, the most common of which was thinking they should stop or reduce drinking (13% ). and memory loss after drinking (9.996). (For details see Background Fact Sheet. Rem 10). An interesting aspect of the study is thatas marry as 5.5% of the sample reported three or more dependency symptoms or problem symptoms. These are persons who will likely require treatment or other forms of intervention, and best fit the definition of alcoholic. as proposed by the World Health Organization. The Durham Survey also looked at various factors associated with alcohol dependency and problems including sex, age, income, and social class. In As your Member of Parliament, I would like to extend to you during this joyful and happy season of Christmas my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to be of service to LOu. ay I extend to you and your family my warmest good wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Norm Cafik and Family general, it suggests that those most at risk for developing serious drinking problems are males, young and middle- aged persons in lower socioeconomic class, and those with no religious participation. These data suggest that special case findings or preventive measures should be directed to certain sub - populations rather than at the entire population. Treatment for an alcohol problem reported by the respondents was in- frequent. A total of 1.3% of the total sample (nine out of 249 `some dependency drinkers', and six of the 55 'serious dependency drinkers') had received formal treatment. In- formal treatment (most frequent sources of advice reported by individuals) was relatives (23.6%), friends (38.196), and work- mates (12.7%). This was more common than the formal type of treatment utilized by doctors or other professionals, hospital or clinical treatment, and detoxication centres, among others. (For details see Background Fact Sheet. Items 30-34). In total. 58 people of the 993 surveyed. or 5.8%. had received some informal treatment or advice for an alcohol problem. The Durham Report states that the area is not well served with specialized akehol and/or drug treatment facilities — a fact borne out by the fmdi rigs of an ARF Task Force on Treatment for the entire province which was published in June of this year. The Task Force outlined Ontario's first com- prebensive pian for an alcoholism treat- ment/resource network capable of meeting the province's current and future needs for the treatment of alcoholism and related drinking problems. Endorsement of the need for the Durham Survey was received from regional social planning coun- sel kers, key health and social agencies, and major industrial groups, among others. A working group, chaired by Geoffrey Brown, and set up by the Durham Region District Health Council, has started studying the results of the Durham Survey, in tandem with recommerda tions outlined in the Task Force on Alcohol Treatment. The results will then be utilized to formulate plans for developing treatment facilities in the Durham Region, and may provide a useful model for the rest of the province. Dun bu rton High. School by Carol Benham A great cast, aided by Mrs. Mary Martin, per- formed a murder mystery. "Ten Little Indians" a thriller by Agatha Christie, on Tues. Wed. Thurs, and Friday of last week. It was a huge success and every night was well attended. On Saturday, a wrestling tournament was held at Dunbarton. Unfortunately Report From Queen's Park by George Ashe,MPP Before getting into the topic for this week's report may I take this opportunity to wish all my constituents in Durham West Ridi ng, "compliments of the Season", with all the best to you and yours. At this busy, yet holy, time of the year may I express the wish that all of your problems be little ones. There are between 100 and 200 children in Ontario who suffer from a growth hormone deficiency which results in a farm of dwarfism. The effects of both the deficiency and the waiting period before treatment can be very tragic for both these children and their parents. This deficiency, however, can be successfully treated through injections of an extract made from pituitary glands. In this respect the Legislature passed into law legislation which would allow a pathologist to remove the pituitary gland in the course of a coroner's autopsy and to retain it for use in assisting these children. This procedure would be followed except in cases where the pathologist is aware that the deceased person would have objected or if there is an objection from a member of the deceased's family. Approximately 10.000 pituitary glands are needed to meet the demands of Ontario patients. And although Ontario's volunteer organ donation campaign has been successful in obtaining an increase in these glands, the numbers are not sufficient enough. Approximately the size of a small fingernail, the pituitary gland is routinely removed and studied as part of the post mortem exercise. The new legislation enables its retention following the autopsy for use in treating children with the deficiency. The new legislation also clearly respects the wishes of any minority group that objects to the removal of this gland. Where the deceased was a member of a group that held such convictions, I think it very difficult to imagine a situation where that concern or objection would riot, as a practical matter, be communicated. Even though only a small number of children are affected by this deficiency, I feel that the successful treatment of even one child is well worth the implementation of this legislation. Sproule Pit Agreement Atter lengthy discussions with the Ministries of Natural Resources and Transportation & Communications, M-P.P. Bill Newman reports that an agreement has been reached with respect to the use of the Sproule Pit for the contract recently awarded to Coot Construction for work on Highway 12. Several area residents as well as Brock Council had ob- jected to the permit being issued with an entrance to the pit from Regional Road 12. "An entrance at that point would have interfered with the schools and some homes and was not in the best interest of the community," said Newman. "Of major concern was the safety of the students while the construction was in progress." MTC has since agreed to specify that the wayside pit permit be issued with the restriction that the entrance be on Concession 13 which would avoid all of the anticipated disruption. The cost involved w placing this restriction on the entrance will add approximately i40.0oo to the $1.7 million contract. Details of how this extra cost will be ab- sorbed are still to be worked out between MTC and Car Construction. The cost of maintaining roads during a contract is always the responsibility of the Ministry and they will have to assure that there is np deterieraboa of the 13th Concession. However, Brock Township has agreed to waive the load restriction on the bridge which will allow the empty trucks to return to the pit without ruining into traffic problems. 'The use of an alternate source for the gravel would have been more expensive and could have created even greater traffic problems through the town," said Newman. "I am pleased that we have been able to solve the impending problem in this way." The original contract awarded to Cox Construction for $1.7 million is for improvements to Highway 12 near Can- nington. Work is scheduled to begin this fall at the junction of Regional Road 12 with the balance of the work to be completed next summer. arze;ao �.. :n«a�saar ....:.. the results are unavailable at this time. Judging from the wrestling team's record, Dunbarton probably placed in the top three. Today, our wrestling team is competing at G. L. Roberts and a swim meet is being hosted by Dunbarton. The cafeteria staff held its annual Christmas dinner yesterday. Turkey and all the fixings was the menu of the day. The quality of the food offered by Beaver Foods is excellent. Un- fortunately, the students who usually eat the dinners are the older ones. The grade nine students rarely eat it. A dinner (meat, potatoes and a vegetable) is 85t. Beaver Foods also offers a "Four Plus" dinner; meat, potatoes, a vegetable, milk and dessert and is usually $1.10. I hope the parents of the younger students en- courage them to eat the cafeteria food. P.S. Don't accept the excuse that the food is burnt offerings and costs as much as at Win- ston's. sl Plumbing and Heating Contractor All types of plumbing & sheet metal work Industrial Commercial Residential 24 Hour Service P.O.
