Recently, after lengthy deliberation and some amendment, the Township Executive Committee agreed to recommend to Council this proposal for a subdivision in the West Shore area. However, last week, with one Council member absent, the resolution to adopt this proposal was narrowly lost ,n Council. This week, Mayor -elect George Ashe. looking sun- 'anned and relaxed, asked •::,l the Look -Out Point .4reement be brought back »•fore Council next week. The main bone of contention in this matter appears to be the amount of part land, or money in lieu of, that will be dedicated to the Township by the developer. This is a matter of the value of one acre of land. Currently it is ranging anywhere between the developer's $26,000 and the $43,000 that some members of Council would like to see for this land. Three other subdivision draft agreements received the approval of the Executive Committee this week, and will be recom- mended to Council. The first was an agreement for a hotel -motel complex with apartments, and low and medium density homes for a population of 2636, proposed by Brock Developments at a site west of Brock Road and south of Highwav 2. The second was as agreement between the Township of Pickering and Simon -Henry Limited for an industrial development to be located west of Station Road and south of Bayly Street. The final agreement was proposed by Bidwell Homes for a residential subdivision to be located north of OkWoma at the Fairport Beach School site and west of Our Lady of the Bay in the WestShore area.

Watson TELEPHONE 284-1767 Opinion A Mistake The bill brought into the legislature this week by the Hon. Tom Wells, Minister of Education, is a mistake. The new law would forbid school teachers to resign -- a move to forestall mass resignations by thousands of teachers on Jan. 1st around the province. While Mr. Wells spoke last week of calling the legislature back in January if settlements weren't reached• this week he has decided apparently to stop the mass resignations before they begin. This has caused great discontent among the high school teachers• who only recently barely voted to settle with the Metro Toronto School Board. A one day stake has been called by the O STF for next Tuesday to show their feelings. We believe that the teachers' resignation cannot be legislated away. Surely everyone has the right to resign his or her job if tie wishes We realize that these resignations really constitute "a strike" but. annoying as this withdrawal of semiee is, we should face up to a two-way battle to settle the differences. This new law would force both parties to agree to com- pulsory arbitration, and could be unfair to either the local school boards or the teachers. It would seem less important to keep schools open than to force an undesirable settlement on both parties. We do feel strongly about the methods that 1500 teachers used this week at Queen's Park Hurling verbal abuse to a minister of the Crown is surely just as disdainful as legislating resignations out of esmtence. There seems to be a certain element among the teachers which believes that any tactics to gain an objective are the right ones This kind of belief is surely to be condemned in the strongest terms. We believe that Mr Wells has misjudged the current public feeling about the threats of teachers. It is our opinion that this new► piece of legislation will aid those teachers who want to disrupt to get their way. Parents. on the other hand• seem to be quite parpared to call the bluff of the teachers about mass resignation. The Minister should withdraw his bill. ^ About Paper Nothing much has been written about the shortage of paper in our highly -treed province of Ontario, but readers might be surprised to learn that paper is in short supply. While the lack of paper is insignificant compared to the energy shortage. it may become much more obvious in the Gas Forecast For -1974 BY %%. II. I):11 TON. INIANA(AN6 111111F OR, CAN.101 %X (..%S 15at►t'L11'll)� The Canadian natural gas industry this year has lived in what has been described as an "atmosphere of con- frontation". it has been a year of argument between Ottawa. Edmonton and Toronto over energy development. supply, availability and price. It has been a year of international bickering, warfare, energy shortages and price escalations. And yet. in spite of all the uncertainties, it has generally been a good year for the natural gas industry in Canada. 1973 was Celebration Year in the industry. marking the installation of the 2,000,000th gas meter. At the present time. more than one-third of our population. about 8,000.000 Canadians from Montreal to the West Coast are receiving the benefits of this environmentally superior fuel. During the year• 90.000 new residential, commerical and industrial customers were connected to the lines, and domestic consumption rose to 1,220 billion cubic feet from 1,146 billion cubic feet in 1972. Natural gas now supplies over one-quarter of Canada's total energy needs. At the request of the industry, the National Energy Board amended its practice of procedure to provide for expedited proceedings on rate applications, eliminating much of the regulatory lag caused by public hearings, and allowing it to authorize interim increases, subject to refund. While this procedure is most beneficial to the consumer, the industry and the investor, the ultimate solution to the regulatory lag problem is revision of the National Energy Board Act to expedite all hearings. For the industry to remain a viable force in the country's economy in the years ahead and function in the best interests of Canadians, we must eliminate the confusion and conflict existing today by establishing the most favourable balance between conservation of Canada's fossil fuels for our long term needs and our foreign commitments. There can be no long term benefits if the producing sector of the industry tries for a high, quick return now by letting domestic prices soar and depletingCanada'sgas reservesthrough further exports. without assurances that the increased profits would be used m t he search and development of new resources. If we can decide on proper energy development and eliminate the atmosphere of confrontation between the provinces and between the federal government and the provirims, it will help solve the problerns facing Canadian industry today. The uncertainty over the long term availability and price of natural gas. which is of such concern to the industry today, is creating havoc for businessmen who must draw their companies budgets and plan for the future. I feel very strongly that we need a definitive inventory of energy resources and a sound appraisal of Canada's future needs of all types of energy - natural gas, coal, conventional and synthetic crude, hydroelectric and nuclear. For without it we cannot possibly arrive at a positive domestic distribution policy. much less an export policy. The inventory should clearly show• the availability of production of proved reserves at various costs levels and development rates. While the inventory cannot include potential frontier reserves, these vast supplies must be developed at the earliest possible date, and once proven, and costs of delivery ascertained, thev should be added to the energy inventory. Once this inventory is compiled and our future requirements calculated and assured, we must develop a pricing system to ensure that Canadian consumers will continue to pay a just and reasonable price for natural gas. The rapid changes of the 70's make it absolutely essential that Canada develop a resources policy, and this policy should encompass all forms of energy. For no longer can you talk only of oil, or natural gas, or coal or electricity. Each is an integral part of the energy situation and the problems of one have a direct bearing on the others and the overall energy picture in Canada. I strongly urge the Federal government and the provinces to develop a national energy policy which will keep the Canadian energy situation healthy and assure the Canadian consumer an adequate supply oti energy at an acceptable price for the foreseeable future. The unbelievable price demands for crude oil of the in- ternational oil producing cartel. led by the Arab nations, will undoubtedly create a greater demand for natural gas in Canada. This increasing demand, together with higher production and transmitting costs. will necessitate price increases, however. I am certain that with an established energy inventory and a well developed national energy policy. Canadians will continue to pay a reasonable price for their gas. Canada is the only industrial nation in the western world capable of supplying the energy for its domestic needs and meeting it export commitments, and there is no present reason for us to he subjected to inflated prices because of a crisis elsewhere I can orUy repeat that a detailed inventory of our available reserves must be taken. and that we must proceed with all haste to tap the undeveloped sources of oil and natural gas in the Mackenzie Delta -Beaufort Basin, the Arctic Islands. and the East Coast offshore regions and bring them to market Will Destroy Hydro - MacDonald Following is a statement by Donald C. MacDonald, MPP for York Synth, and New Democratic Party Energy Critic, on the Hydro Task Force Report •5. The Hydro Task Force Report •5, sub -titled "A Policy for %take or Buy-, merits careful study before a definitive statement can be made. But little more than quick perusal is required to justify clear warning to the public of Ontario that the recommendations which are generally "looked on with favour" by the Minister of Energy. represent a blueprint for the destruction of the institution of Hvdro as we have known it. When full• implemented, Hydro will be a public utility in little more than name only. Increasingly, its design, con- struction, operation and even maintenance is now under consideration for transfer to the private sector. Energy Minister McKeough conceded in a press conference that in the short run energy cost will likely be higher, but he expresses the dubious hope that ultimately it may be less: and in anv case, he feels that this massive reprivatization of Hydro will be a fillip to the whole Ontario economy. In short, for other economic reasons, the historic and un- derlying principle upon which Hydro was built - to provide power at the lowest possible cost - is now going to be for- saken. The unashamed sell-out of a public asset which has long been regarded as one of Ontario's proudest achievements is simply mind-boggling. For example. Hydro is asked "to develop an explicit 'Make or Buy' policy which will accelerate the transfer of its technol(>gy to the private sector and encourage greater productivity and efficiency in its operation". In short, the technology which has made Hydro one of the nic>,st efficient producers of electric power from hydro, thermal and nuclear sources, all paid for by the public through their hydro rates down through the years, is now going to tie handed over to the private sector - free! When questioned as to who in the private sector would be the beneficiary of this lucrative technology, the reply is that that will be the responsiblity of the new Hydro Crown Cor- poration. The recommendations refer to "selected firms". Will it include foreign corporation? No decision on that Moreover, the reprivatization process will run the full gamut of Hydro's traditional operations: from design and development in which they have played such a pioneering role; to maintenance services, the use of computer services, and inevitably much of its daily operations. The Trojan Horse of the private sector has been wheeled into the public corporation of Hydro, by way of a Task Force heavily dominated by outside consultants, and has frankly outlined a plan for dismantling Hydro as a public corporation - all apparently with the enthusiastic approval and con- nivance of a Tory Government, Sir Adam Beck must be turning over in his grave! winter months ahead.•������������������������������������������������� What has caused a shortage o< paper?

London and Sudbury. Education Minister Thomas Wells said recent ly. . And to do it Ontario spent $21/4 billion dollars, building the equivalent of a new elementary and secondary school for every week of the 20 -year period. Mr. Wells told the Legislature during the presentation of the Ministry's estimates that during the two decades Ontario's annual in- kestment in elementary and secondary education rose from $113 million to over $2 billion. One of the most significant improvements during the period was the steady improvement in the qualifications of On- tario's teachers. Mr. Wells said that within a very short period the minimum requirement for elementary school teaching has risen from a grade 12 graduation diploma to a university degree. With the majority of the teacher training programs now coming under the jurisdiction of universities it should result in more creative leaching in the future. Mr. Wells said during the same period the pupil -teacher ratio has decreased. in 1960 the pupil -teacher ratio in the elementary schools was 3t to one. Today it is 2.5 to one. During the same period the pupil -teacher ratio in the secondary schools dropped from 23 to one to 17 to one. The decreased pupil -teacher ratio• coupled with superior administrative and back-up services such as those provided by c•onsultanis and guidance personnel. have lightened the teachers' workload. increased the effectiveness of their efforts and brought about an even higher quality of education throughout the school system. Mr. Wells said.

Dec. 13th, 1973 '7r: Page ' WEST ROUGE NEWS by Lesley Cowell WEST ROUGE: SPORTS & RECREATION ASSOCIATION' The above association held their monthly meeting last week and it was practically standing room only which was most gratifying. Representatives from every committee and every sport were present to hear from the representatives of the Scarborough Recreation & Parks Dept. about some of their plans for the residents of West Rouge as of January, 1974. 1 think most of us left the meeting with a lot of thinking to do, but the main points seemed to be in our favour and certainly it's all up to us to see that we make use of the facilities at the Community Centre as much as possible and Scarborough was very interested in adding future activities there - par- ticularly daytime classes for the ladies of the area ranging from yoga to guest speakers. However, all this is still in the future but the future is quite rosy and one great thing about it is what they have done for Scarborough in the past, will be done for us in the future, particulaly regarding the sports. The next meeting of the West Rouge Sports & Recreation Association will be held on Tues. Jan. 8th at 8:30 p.m. at the Community Centre and it will be the first meeting held in Scarborough! SCHOOL MOVIES This coming Sat. Dec. 15th is the last school movie to be shown this year and the feature movie is "Snowball Ex- press,.

So, for those of youwho are unlucky in obtaining tickets for New t'ear's Eve, or who went and had a great time, tell the friends you have that New Year's Eve isn't the only 'bash' of the year, and all come out and support the other dances or Pub Nights or whatever we have going on. SCARBOROUGH RECREATION NEWS I know all the old sayings, such as 'Ther's many a slip 'tween cup and lip', but 1 can't really see anything preventing us from becoming part of Scarborough in January at this late date, so regardless of jumping fences, as Scarborough Recreation and Parks has been good enough to send news releases. I can tell you of the various program you might like to join. I feel you should at least have some idea what you could get involved in if they interest you. The annual 1974 "Learn to Ski" program will begin on Sat. Jan. 12th at Thomson Park and Adams Park for all ages, on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. There are also Adults only classes, on Monday and Wednesday evenings at both parks. The classes are kept small in size and last one hour and the beginner is given basic fundamental techniques and safety skills developed for the beginner to intermediate by trained instructors. The registration date for this program is on Sat. Jan. 5th, at Cedarbrook Community Centre, between 12 noon and 3 p.m. or registration by mail are accepted.

WINTER INSTRUCTION SWIMMING The registration for this program is this coming Sat. Dec. 15th at 2 p.m. which doesn't give you much notice I'm afreaid. However, anyone whd would like to learn swimming -- and from what I can see this includes everyone from Moms & Tots (3 & 4 years of age) through Pollywogs (5 and 6) to adults ( 18 years and over). The closest poops are West Hill Collegiate, Morningside Ave. north of Kingston Rd. (register in the school's cafeteria) ; Centennial Pool ( register at Woburn Collegiate, 2222 Ellesmere Rd., just east of Markham Rd.) and Sir Wilfrid Laurier Collegiate, Guildwood Parkway ( register in the school's cafeteria).

If you should miss the registration, I'm sucre if you telephone the Recreation & Parks Dept., at 438-7411. they will try and help you. 1 wish there was space to write about all the various program organized in Scarborough, but I'm sure after January they will do their best to get something out to everyone here, on the lines of their 1973-74 Fall & Winter Brochure. V %C %TIONAING In the spring. you men's thoughts turn to all sorts of things, tut in the winter• apart from heating bills and long johns. Canadian's thoughts turn to warmer climes or, in some cases• the thought of skiing down a Austrian mountain or some other exotic wintering place. Therefore• if you would like to get away from it all. why not telephone someone who can put you tin the right track with travel arrangements. In West Rouge. you are fortunate to have someone right on the doorstep so to speak. with !IUs. Yvonne Cochrane, who is Travel Counsellor for Donald Travel of Whitby. Mrs. Cochrane can be contacted at home by telephoning 282-7438, or at the office on their Toronto line at im-sk "THF. RIG (:1\'E .%%.%v" In case you think the above is a rallying cry to arms by the opponents of our move to Scarborough, it may well be, but I actually had in mind the Christmas draw being held at West Rouge Plaza by the business concerns thereon. All you have to do is fill in one of the ballots at any of the stores advertised on the door-todoor flyer and desposit the same in one of the ballot boxes at the storax concerned and, if you are luck. on Dec. 19tbyou might receive a telephone call telling you that you have won one of the 22 gifts being given away. It's a nice sort of local Christmas sprit -type thing to do, and 1 hope you remember that most of our local stores do an awful lot to support the sports and recreational programs here in Wort Rouge, and despite often being deluged with requests for spot prizes and the like, never fail to come up with something. RINGO Next Wednesday will be the last evening of "Bingo" this . ear, so if you would like to join in the fun, corse along to the Community Centre either at 7:30 for the "Early Bird" games ,r 8 p.m. for the regular games. I should imagine we will start the new season on Jan. 2nd. However, whenever it is, try and get over to this last one of the old year in between or after your children's per- formances at the School Christmas Concerts. unfortunately se. one at least, for this coming Wednesday.

Out oIt the nine major nutrients found deficient in the Canadian diet, seven are supplied by milk. The long-awaited national survey found widespread inadequacies in all age groups. For example, two out of five %%omen had a less than adequate intake of calcium, and 3!4 of the children tested were consuming less vitamin D than recommended. In the case it( calcium, milk is the only food consumed daily which gives you an adquate supply And since vitamin D is so hard to find naturally in foods, drinking fortified milk is the one way to erasure that growing bodies get as much as they need. In addition, milk is an inexpensive and easily consumed source of protein, riboflavin, vitamin A. thiamin and niacin. Milk doesn't contain much preformed niacin, but it does supply a lot of tryptophan which the body uses to manufac- ture its own niacin. In fact, the only two important nutrients which milk doesn't supply are iron and vitamin C. An apple a day may be the traditional remedy, but a glass of milk beats it by a country mile when it comes to solving the real health problems of this country.

Dec. 13th, THE POST Page 9 -How Canadians Celebrate Christmas Christmas in Canada is a pot-pourri of customs reflecting the unique per- sonalities of the provinces which make up the Canadian mosaic. The Pacific coast is par- ticularly Christmas orien- ted. Imagine a Carol Ship silhouetted in lights, bearing a Christmas tree at the masthead and carrying bell- ringers and children's choirs. Followed by a flotilla of brilliantly lit fire boats, tugs, fishing boats and private yachts, it leads the Yuletide fleet that welcomes inbound ships and sends a message of goodwill echoing across the dark waters to crowds w-aiting'around huge bonfires on the shore. This delightful event is held every year on the evenings during the week before Christmas in the harbor of the cosmopolitan Pacific city of Vancouver. The unique Carol Ship, like a gigantic Christmas parcel glowing with lights, annually draws huge crowds of visitors from all over British Columbia and the wet5tern U. S. Windows along Van- couver's Robson Street (often called Rob- sonstrasse), crammed with ethnic delights, exotic gifts and pungent culinary masterpieces, hlighten the festive flavor of this glamorous Canadian city. At the world-famous Empress Hotel in Victoria on Vancouver Island, the "Spirit of Christmas Past" stalks the halls as costumed troubadours serenade guests with madrigals. And, once again, the ancient and honorable procession of the Boar's Head wends its traditional way ac- companied by liveried lackies, cheeky page boys. and the inevitable jester in age-old motley. The Elizabethan custom of tossing holly sprigs on a blazing Yule log to symbolize the erasing of last year's mtstakes and indiscretions still takes place at many hotels. ()ther hotels in the Victoria and Vancouver areas also introduce the Elizabethan rate with carollers, boars' heads, surprise gifts, special enter iainmeni for children, and menus printed on scrolls tied with gay ribbons. In- deed, the hotels have created such a jolly, oldtime Christmas atmosphere that families which traditionally stay home on Christmas now eat out. For this reason, it is an absolute must to make your Vancouver and Victoria Christmas dinner reser- vations well in advance to get in on all the fun. Yuletime ski buffs are well catered for in the Vancouver area at Grouse :Mountain, Mount Seymour, and Whistler Mountain in Garibaldi Park (only 70 miles from the city). Special interdenominational skiers' services are held on the valley floor at Whistler in a beautiful A -frame church, built with funds contributed by the skiers.' In Alberta's Rocky Mountains, Banff Springs Hotel and Jasper Park Lodge have speoial Christmas programs. An Olde English Christmas dinner and Boar 's Head ceremonial procession are scheduled for the Banff Springs. Both resorts feature a visit by Santa and special children's activities as well as an exciting variety of winter tun: tobogganing, skating, skiing and snow .shoeing, Jasper Park Lodge . guests - can . participate in sleigh rides to massive open- air fireplaces for winter barbecues. Carol singing, Christmas and New Year's parties are also featured. The Christmas season in Toronto gets off to a spec- tacular start in mid- November with the mile -long Santa Claus parade, one of the largest anywhere. The simple pleasures of the pioneer Canadian Christmas are revived Nov. 30 -Dec. 23 at Toronto's Mackenzie House, former mid - nineteenth century home of the city's first mayor. Decorations are traditional -- paper chains, rosettes, candles and other trimmings adorn mantles, archways and staircases. The "Kissing Bough", forerunner of the Christmas tree in England, glows with candles and gay home- made objects to delight young and old. The nostalgic aroma of fresh evergreens and crackling wood fires com- pletes the festive picture. In the basement, hospitable Toronto ladies in period costume prepare cookies and fruit loaves on a wood - burning range. Cranberry punch and piping hot mulled cider are served to visitors. In French-speaking Quebec. Christmas is a deeply religious event, the most colorful and memorable in the entire year. Festivities are held in the evening, and are centered on the -reveiBon", or Christ- mas banquet. Its preparation starts weeks and sometimes months in advance, for it is a genuine family reunion and many family membels are invited. It is not unusual to invite as many as 30 or 40 relatives to such a party. The basic principle of the reveillon is that the quality and quantity of food, wine and delicacies must surpass whatever is consu med on other less important holidays. The feasting commences around two or three a.m., after a special Midnight Mass and the gift giving around the Christmas tree. It can last until the first rays of dawn. There are countless dishes, all served to the accompaniment of witty conversation, gay laughter, and boisterous singing. A wide variety of h6me- made and imported wines are served in generous quantities to young and old. Among the smaller ethnic groups, Canadians whose origins go back to the Ukraine. Poland and other parts of eastern Europe. the custom of spreading a thin layer of straw under the cloth on the Christmas table as a reminder of the stable where Christ was born is still retained. Straw is often strewn under the table and candies and nuts are hidden in it for the children. Christmas decorations in these homes usually include a sheaf of wheat to symbolize a bountiful year ahead. In many Canadian churches and homes, the most im- portant and best loved decoration is the creche. or crib, a realistic miniature tableau of the Nativity. Other groups which hold their main celebration on Christmas Eve serve a distinctive type of food on this occasion. For example. baked carp is a traditional dish in families whose an- cestors were Czechoslovakian or Austrian. Codfish, goose, and a special kind of rich pudding form a part of the Christmas fare among Scandinavians. In the pudding is an almond, and it is believed that whoever gets the almond is sure to have his wish fulfulled. Among Estonians the Christmas meal often centers around roast suckling pig rolled in cab- bage, cooked in the oven and served with vegetables and sour cream. In Newfoundland, children and adults dress up in odd costumes, usually old clothes like grandma's night-gown or dad's old Stanfields (old- fashioned "long -john" winter underwear). Faces are covered with veils, some with Hallowe'en -type masks. These "mummers", as they are called, go from door to door in groups of two to ten. Disguising their voices, they ask to be let in to perform for the householders. The musician of the group plays on a pocket comb covered with cigarette paper while his companions sing. The mummers are rewarded with candy, and Christmas cake. The children are offered a drink made from a mixture of water and thick, sweet syrup while adult mummers are served homemade blueberry and raspberry wines. This is the joy of Christmas in Canada -- where Elizabethan and 17th cen- tury French rituals. colorful ethnic customs. and honored pioneer traditions mingle in celebration of the holiday season.

Tos^nship Engineer Citizens have been expressing interest in hearing my views on the energy crisis and what 1 think can and should be done about it. First of all let me say that i believe that the crisis may in fact be a blessing in disguise. Some people may react badly to this suggestion but let's look at the facts and try to see the problem in its proper perspective. The facts are that Canada's energy resources are limited. Known usable oil reserves will last ten or fifteen years at most. Developing new sources and discovering new fields is going to take ten years at least. Thus in another decade we will be facing this situation anyway, but by then we won't have any oil to tide us over during the period when we will be changing to other forms of power. The energy crisis may be just the thing we need to spur the country into reversing the trend from coal to oil. It will teach us to make better use of our hydro and nuclear power and not waste it in vast quantities as we do now and to look to alternatives such as solar power. Electric cars will have to be designed to slow the depletion of oil reserves. We are also learning how important it is to be independent in our energy needs and not have to rely on vulnerable foreign sources. However, it is not enough to just plug the dike with stopgap measures - We have to have some concrete action im- mediately and not in four or five years. Firstly, it is clear that the interests of the people of Canada must lake precedence over those of the International Oil Corporations or individual provinces. Because this is a national problem and not a local one, the Federal Govern- ment, and not the oil companies or the provinces, must be the controlling agent. We, as the Federal Government, are the ody ones equipped to handle it property. Secondly. I propose the establishment of a National Energy Market ing Board which will buy and seal energy in Canada in much the same manner that wheat is controlled by the Wheat 371irketink hoard Thais. it prooe-rly managed. could equalize Neu Brunswick k" ".

Thirdly, I propose the establishment of a National Energy Development Corp. Exploration and development of oil and natural gas is phenomenally expensive. Just to get adequate supplies of oil from the Alberta Tar Sands will cost billions of dollars. Where do we get it? As you know, the government has imposed an export tax an crude oil shipments. This was done to equalize the price of Canadian oil with that of the more expensive foreign oil and to allow the benefits of the equalization to be used for the Canadian public, as opposed to providing windfall profits for the multi -national oil corporations. A National Energy Development Corporation would take the monies generated by such a tax and use it for the ex- ploration of new energy sources. This can be done directly or in conjunction with the oil companies but these profits must be used for exploration and not to fatten corporate pocket- books. Lastly. l propose that the Special Depletion Allowances and other tax concessions which were originally implemented to encourage exploration be halted and these funds transferred to the National Energy Development Corporation• ensuring a steady flow of research capital into this area. if we adhere to the preceding suggestions we will come out of the crisis in a favourable position. We will be self sufficient i n energy . W e should be able to buy our energy more cheaply than the inflated world prices and we will be well on our way to developing alternate sources of power enabling us to maintain our affluent standard of living. The future need not he Weak if we learn our lessons now and take quick decisive action. Clarifications On Durham Act Last week Gardner Church ind Murray Lawson were mtited to a meeting of the vrham Regional Council to ast a rav of light on certain ,rev arras of the Durham lict. Gardner ('hunch is a .enior studies officer with tae local government ,rganization branch, and '.!,irray Lawson is a 'ctncial financial -1geme•nt officer. .!,chlor Jack Anderson :' (kering asked what happen to an official 'hat had not received Council's approval .i:ore January 1st 1974. Lardner Church replied that ..if it is not passed before December 31st 1973 it can still be passed as a 'district plan', but will have to go to Region for approval. it is not, then, lechnically an Official Plan." Pickering is currently in the process of trying to update its Official Plan. Four public meetings have so far been called on this matter, and a Council %tt•eting is scheduled at the Town4up (Nfices on Dec. :►7th at a p.m., when Council will consider the adoption of the (official Plan. (•rauncillor Ken Mathesm of flickering asked if it would tae possible for Region to stop local projects by refusing to issue a debenture After Jan. lsl 1974 only the Region will tae allowed to issue deben- ture.. The rept} given by \lurrav Lawson was that ,AhileIhe Region would have the power to issue deben- tures, it would not he able to decide whether or not the requests for debentures were justified. However, he did go on to caution that area municipalities may be requested to cut back on their programmes if proposed expenditures within a five year period were considered excessive. No Compensation For Phantom Bear Damage Pickering's elusive bear posed another problem to the Pickering Township Executive Committee of Council this week. Ross Martin asked for compensation for pigs killed by an alleged bear on his property in the Brock Road/Concession S vicinity. The Executive Committee decided to deny Mr. Martin's request on the grounds that there are no by-laws presently covering the destruction of domestic animals by any other than wild dogs. It has been reported that a person who's an authority on conservation stated an 4)pinion that a black bear has never been known to at- tached domestic animals of any sort. However, it is a fact that several ,of -Mr. Martin's pigs were killed by a wild animal, apparently clawed to death. It is also a fact that bear tracks were reported to have been seen when the Pickering Rod and Gun Club organized a controlled hunt to locate and destroy this animal. The final fact remains that the hunt failed to either locate or destroy this animal. ONLY YOU CAN GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE! BE A REGULAR � BLOOD DONOR
