The land in question covers an area which would be affected by a high level of aircraft noise if the airport were ever built. Plans for the airport were shelved indefinitely by the federal government last fall. In a letter received by°r Jack Anderson Pickering Council's execu- tive committee last night, Rhodes said he is reviewing existing zoning regulations w h i c h severely restrict building near the airport site and hopes to announce a decision on the matter soon. Rhodes also said the prov- ince is attempting to get Ottawa to provide some form of compensation for property owners who have suffered hardsiup because of the building ban which j w a s imposed in March, 1972. wu. C1 �~ said that 26 people who want to build }Tomes and would normally be allowed to do so under Pickering zoning regulations have been unable to get on with t h e job because of the provincial development ban on the lands around the air- port site. Earlier this year, Picker- ing Council expressed con- cern to Rhodes that the con- tinuing land freeze amount- ed to expropriation by Zoning. However. councillors emphasized that any lifting of c d r r e n t restrictions wouldn't open the way to large-scale development, al- though it would allow buil& ing permits to be issued on a small number of scattered -lots. ................................................ 1 Airport vi pick new t gravel PICKERITiG — The Peo- ple or Planes group which uccessfully fought t h e E Pickering Airpott is pian- n in g to battle Ontario's sand and gravel industry.

Not in the community of Greenwood where, every Tuesday and Thursday, up to ten area residents gather in a lower section of the Recreation Centre, to learn and practice the skills of a re -discovered hobby. The organization, known as Green and White Crafts, was initiated by a group of senior citizens from the Whitevale Good Neigh- bors' Club. The program is funded by a New Horizon's Grant, made available through the Federal Government. Chairman of the directorate is Milton Pegg of Greenwood. The seeretary-treasurer is Lloyd Johnston of Whitevale. Classes have been full to date with in- struction in hand - weaving provided by two qualified teachers, Miss Carrie Oliphant and Mrs. Ellen Beth Hobbs, both of Pickering. A prime promoter of the weaving program is Mrs. Lloyd Johnston. While modestly suggesting "I'm still learning", Mrs. Johnston has completed two hand- woven suits and three rugs. "You never reach the point where you know it all," she says. "It's a wonderful hobby for anyone, young and old". A loom can cost from $75 to $140, Mrs. Johnston points out. Several of the ladies have purchased their own and work out of their homes. So far, only one gentleman has `crashed' this party of energetic weavers. This rather daring individual is Rev. Tom F'leetham, pastor of the two -point charge at Greenwood and Mount Zion. "'Men make beautiful weavers,'' admits Mrs. Johnston, "we hope we can enlist more". Ladies enrolled include — Mrs. Mary White, Mrs. Rachel Griffin, Mrs. Sid Pugh, Mrs. Joe Garland, Mrs. Doreen Middleton, Mfrs. Irma Lawrence, Mrs. Hilda Faulkner, Mrs. Hugh Crawford and Mrs. Johnston. During the month of August, the diligent teachers are taking a well-earned vacation. Classes will resume, Sept. 5 and will include a beginner's group. In addition, evening in- struction is planned in furniture refinishing and On Aug. 10, an all -day Sports Meet is planned for the Greenwood Community Park. The craft room will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Complete[t work will be on display. There will also be a public demonstration by the members themselves. The ladies' en- thusiasm for the hobby was aptly described by Mrs. Middleton. She said that while classes are never scheduled to start until 10 a.m., many of the members are ready to begin work by 9:15. ,we wouldn't miss it for the world," she said. _..=.=a.a�.., 1■R.

John Macintosh said in an interview last night the board might as well face the bad news. "There is no point kidding t h e public," Mackintosh said. He said original estimates 1 of the 36-per-cent increase w e r e strengthened this week when the board re- ceived the grant regulations from the Ministry of Educa- tion. Mackintosh added that the school board was in for some "rough criticism" be- cause of some of the areas in which it is considering budget -slashing — including some academic programs. "1Ve may take a step backward in some p r o- grams," he said. "It looks as though program reduc- tions may be very grim in order that we don't have an unbelievable tax increase." MacKintosh noted. that the board has only 13 per cent of its budget to work with, since salaries com- prise almost 87 per cent of the board's spending. "Any cutting that is done will be felt harashiy by the school system." liMacKin- tosh said. "But it won't make a great deal of impact on the percentage increase in taxes." This year's education budget ,will probably exceed %0 million—$5 million more than last year.

But for small town and rural folks, especially the older ones, the end of Eaton's catalogue is the end of an era. During a couple of generations, the catalogue was the key to a storehouse of treasure that Aladdin would have envied. Fifty years ago, especially for farm people in isolated locations, it was as im- portant as their television set is today. After a day of drudgery, a leaf through the pages was a form of escape for the farm wife. Even though there was no money for more l than the essentials, she could dream over the f illustrations of furniture, clothing, sets of dishes, curtains. At that time, it was literally one of the very few means of communication with the big world outside. Even if you never received a letter from one year's end to another, you could be sure of receiving, mail. You carefully chose what you wanted from the catalogue, made sure you got the right number, sent off your order, and ooner or later there would be a parcel in the mail. or was as reliable as the Bank of England used to be. Besides its exotic allure, the bulky catalogue had a dozen utilitarian values. People didn't, just chuck out last year's catalogue, awtJ would in these careless, 1 spendthrift deg; Old copies Were used as doorstops, in the backhouse, and as insulation. I have per- sonally used them, at at tender age, as shin - pads for hockey, stuffed inside long woolen socks. Many a boy, in those days when the only parts of a woman exposed were her hands and her face, learned all about women nr had his first sexual experience, if you prefer, by sneaking a look at the corset ads when his mother wasn't watching. Many an older person of the gentler sex today spent happy hours as a little girl cutting things out of the catalogue with scissors and pasting them in a scrapbook, or making paper dolls. Other uses were: half a dozen pages to start the morning fire in a house where paper was scarce because there was no daily newspaper-, 20 or 30 pages cut in the shape of an insole and tucked into the boot or shoe with a hole in the sole. But let's not get sentimental and weepy about it. Eaton's catalogue is a hangover from the days of the outdoor Johnny, and certainly few mourn the demise of the latter. I'm sorry for the many people across the country who will lose jobs because the catalogue has become defunct. And many a housewife will feel a real sense of loss for a while. But it won't be missed all that much. The catalogue had outlived its usefulness except as a strictly functional means of shopping. It was no longer a cherished household article. It had become about as glamorous as the telephone directory. I know quite a few people who will be cheered by the news. These are the small- town and rural merchants who had to compete against the giant department store. They simply couldn't, and many were bitter about it. A merchant who had a stake in his community, paid taxes, and served his fellow citizens had some right to feel a little sour when he had to go up against a faceless, im- personal titan which could operate from a hole in the wall called an order office, contributed virtually nothing to the community, and could undercut his prices every time because it could buy in volume. And I know another group that will be happy with the bad news that they will never again have an Eaton's catalogue in the house. Men like me, and they number in the thousands. I don't care if I never see another Eaton's catalogue. Or Simpson's either. For 25 years I have been taking parcels back to the Eaton's order office. My wife never takes them back, and she rarely keeps anything she has ordered. It's a casual: "Drop this off at Eaton's on your way to work." And I've had to stand shamefaced in the order office, among a bunch of women, and mutter something about the three brassieres being too small, or the panties being too large, or the stockings not being sheer enough. And then there's the monthly bill. My wife has been carrying on a running battle with Eaton's billing department for years. Every month there's a mistake in it, the old girl gets furious, and I have to listen to the tirade, which can go on for an hour. She has written letters which were brilliant, cutting essays in satire. She has written furious, blunt letters. She has written letters to the accounts manager, the public relations vice-president, the president of the whole caboodle. She has wept with rage and frustration when they have been ignored, and the voiceless, faceless computer spews out another monthly bill, goofed up again. Farewell, Eaton's catalogue. You were a great thing in your day. But I, for one, say good riddance. Akin Hooker FOUNDER bd you know that Hooker & 5cins at Kinsale are the oldest Car Dealers in Pi rig? 920.

ISWPAM61ES SIGN PETITION Group Of Par n is Fights To fly HEATHER WILSON Times Staff Writer Parents who two weeks ago signed a petition against removal of principal Roy Blackmore from Valley View Public School in Greenwood have not been told why the transfer is or was under con. sideration or by whom it ,was sought. Janine Carson, a concerned parent, said Board Superin- tendent Douglas Kettle stated at a meeting called by the Home and School Committee May 14 the board was cdh- sidering the principal's tran- sfer because of complaints received by parents. Solid reasons for such action were not given -and many people did not get answers to questions, claims Fred aklenburg, another parent in ttendance. Mrs. Carson said however, a eeting has been arranged fight involving six to eight rents "Who feel we feel could t express our concerns" Board Director Ken ull roe, "who told us we could e a fmaximupm'iof 15 people ormrncipa, . said Taklenburg, was removed years ago and nobody about it until the children ed in the fall. . "I brought this question up at the May 14 meeting and was told he resigner!. I said, 'I beg your pardon but he resigned under similar pressures now being enforced on Mr, Black - more and I hope he doesn't do the same.' " Questioned on the possible removal of Mr. Blackmore, Mr. Munroe said in a telephone interview he had been aware of a problem at .the school for the past two years. "This is not something that has just surfaced." It has been under review the last 10 months — more specifically in the last little while, he said. "We've been meeting with the staff and a number of other people but I'd like to point out the problems here are no dif- ferent or unique than at any of our other 78 schools. "It's cleared up at the moment, but it will be even more cleared up by June 18," he said, adding "this is not an issue for the Times." The director did say however, he had received a petition signed by 88 out of 113 families with children attending the eight -class school, opposing removal of the principal.

(CP) — T h e president of the Federated Women's Insti- tute of Canada said reaction to international Women's Year is mixed ,and warned "there is a danger that thousands of taxpayers' dol- lars could be literally going down the drain." Mrs. John A. McLean told an Ontario Women's lnsti- t u t e conference at the University of Waterloo, "we _could wind up with an Inter- national Women's Year that is purely a public relations job with Why Not! slogans and extensive advertising through the media." Mrs. McLeap said every year is women's year "or if it's not it should be," She said while institute members have been urged to be conscious of their re- sponsibilities as wives and mothers, they must also broaden their interests and involvements, move outside their homes, develop their capacities and take advan- tage of opportunities. Site said, in Its 78-year existence, women's institute has encouraged such parti- cipation but has not been successful.

SECTION B—PAGES B1 TO B8 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 19"ia Councillor puts his job in baskets KINSALE — Ingenuity, skill and just plain hard work are all part of Ken Spratley's bid to keep an Ontario craft from dying. On some days, lie turns out 33 wooden apple baskets in a tiny workshop behind his rural Pickering home, and his one-man venture looks like it's paying off. "Just now, I can't keep pace with orders," Spratley, a Pickering councillor, said yesterday. "And the prov- ince's industry and tourism ministry has asked if it can help me export baskets to New York state." T h e oval -shaped apple baskets Spratley m a k e s were developed by Ontario ! farmers in the lace 1800s and are crafted out of maple, and elm strips. They used to be made at a mill near Green River, but production ceased about 18 months ago when the property was expropriated for Ontario's planned new town in North Pickering. Frank Pennock, one of the craftsmen there, showed Spratiey how to snake the )askets as a hobby. Now, Spratley has ceased operat- ing a Toronto appliance - servicing c o m p a n y lie founded 20 years ago and has turned to basket -mak- ing as a fullt.ime job. "I was unhappy that a craft was going to die," Spratley said, "so I decided to do something about it. I really enjoy what I am doing aad it has only been out of the hobby stage for trree months " So far, Spratiey has made more than 2,03) bas- I kets. file largest weighing only 3 pounds, sell f or $11.95, end a smaller one for $7.95.

MaY-2■ "I was told it was bad luck for the boat if the bottle doesn't break the first time," Mrs. Newman said. Last Thursday at Aniherstburg, near Windsor, may wife Molly had the honour of christening the Ministry of the Environment's new, 54 foot Great Lakes survey vessel Guardian No. 1, in accordance with tradition. Aware of the superstition that it is bad luck to have to swing the champagne bottle more than once, Molly lines up the bottle and let it go with quite a bit of oomph. Bottle and contents exploded on impact with the bow and because of my position near the boat, I got drenched as the champagne flew before I could move. Now that Guardian No. 1 is officially ready to do a job, lei me tell you a little about the work it will be doing. This ship is actually a floating laboratory where water samples are collected from the routes travelled and are tested both on -board and in our Ministry's laboratories in Toronto, London and Thunder Bay. The testing is all part of our extensive program to rejuvenate the Great Lakes. This vessel conducts meteoroligical, lirnnolog- ical and sedimentological studies. The Guardian's crew uses a variety of basic equipment for sampling. One water bottle collects water samples at consecutive depths while recording water temperature at the sama time. A grab sampler is used to collect surface lake sediments. A phosphorous meter measures the acidity of the water. Another instrument produces a graph of water temperature vs depth, while still another determines the water's dissolved oxygen content. Guardian No. 1 will spend its summer sampling water along the entire Canadian shoreline of Lake Erie. The other . four vessels in the fleet will be sampling other Great Lakes and inland lakes in Ontario. By the end of this year, with the help of the Guardian, and through my Ministry's other programs, Ontario will have completed all of it obligations in the Great Lakes cleanup program. Many of our friends over 65 will be pleased to learn the Ontario Government has given municipalities more money to help them increase their prog ram s of p r ov iding for services of visiting nurses and homemakers. Rene Brunelle, Minister of Community and Social Services, recently raised the Ontario Government subsidy from 507o to 80% to Municipalities for this program.

Swim Bates Too Costly Pickering Council last Monday evening decided to add still another fixed fee to the Dunbarton Swimming Program. It was recommended by Mayor Ashe that a 10 ticket strip for $3.00 be included in the recom- mendation. This works out to 3W a swim. A summer pass (July & August) is $10.00 and a quarterly pass will cost the participant $20.00. These rates work out just fine for the adult as the cost is 600 to go swimming but what about the kids? Children now pay a fiat rate of 350 eaeb and the 10 ticket strip for $3.00 is only going to save them 5¢ or 5W over the whole period. That sure isn't much of a saving, particularly when you realize the tickets will be used mainly during the summer months. To ensure a cheap rate for July & August a child would have to use his summer pass ($10.00) every day to get a rate of approximately 160. This is highly unlikely and may guess is that the pass would be used about halflat a saving of only a few cents. Although administrative costs are high I can't under- stand why we can't do a little better and give the kids and their parents a break especially during the summer months. Council Briefs Executive Committee approved a motion to continue paper pickup for recycling until the end of the year. Collections will be for the urban development and will also continue in the hamlets and villages of the Town. The Town will spend approximately $1000. to pave a narrow boulevard on Gorvolin Ave. in Bay Ridges. The area in question is on the North side with a width of only two feet and is difficult to maintain. An area 40 ft by 200 ft at Krosno & Balaton in Bay Ridges will be leased to the abutting homeowners. This property is a sewer easement and a storm sewer, is a continuious mudpile and garbage collector and the homeowners have complained that their fences keep getting knocked down. ExecutiyeCommittee decided that the crest add proper solution was to lease the offending property to the homeowners.

How- ever, m a n y n e w inter- changes a u d north -south overpasses over Highway 401 will be required. The cost of widening Highway 401 to eight lanes is estimat- ed at $81.6 million. The report says it is not desirable to limit expansion of GO -transit services in Durham and should not be restricted because of pros. pects for eventual growth of r e v e r s e commuting — which could see increasing numbers of Metro Toronto residents travelling to work in Durham. By BRIAN DEXTER Star staff writer WHITBY — A new Dur- ham transportation .study raises major doubts about the need for two major free- ways being planned by the province to slice through the Durham region, T h e 123-page report, released yesterday, says a proposed Highway 407 and East Metro Freeway would scarcely be needed except f o r weekend recreational travel. The report says Highway 407, if built with a 500-foot right of way. would con- sume more than 2,070.acres, much of it prime farmland. But only 10 to 15 per cent of vehicles now travelling on Highway 401 betweed Metro Toronto and Durham would divert to the new highway. Highway 407 would enter Durham from York Region just south of Highway 7 and connect with Highways 35 and 115 north of Orono. The East Metro Freeway would branch off Highway 401 in Scarborough, pass south- e a s t of Stouffville, Ux- bridge and Sunderland and swing up the east side of Lake Simcoe. The report's author, Kees Schipper, Durham transpor- tation director, s a y s it might be possible to cope with future traffic demands by widening Highway tp eight lanes l Toronto's east�aun ` to Harmony R in Os'h Wa. lie recommends improv- ing sous service, particularly between Oshawa and Pick- ering. widening arterial roads, extending the GO - train system to Oshawa and wideningl4ighway 401 to six LDP esbetween Brock Rd., keringand Oshawa. he report recommends x'harn establish a b u s corridor along Highway 2 between Liverpool Rd.. in Pickering, a n d Oshawa, w i t h additional service along Bayly St. and Har- wood Ave. ' Also proposed is extension of peak -hour GO -train serv- ice from Pickering to Osha- wa at an estimated cost of $10 mullion for additional track and other facilities. New stations would be placed on the south-west corner of Highway 401 and Harwood Ave. in Ajax, be- tween Brock St. and Anries St. in Whitby and east of Simcoe St. in Oshawa. The report says no future demand appears to exist for streetcar or subway lines in Durham but new bus serv- ices will be needed in urban communities.

He told the Legislature that since the tax was intro- duced in 1974 there has been little speculation. Newman. MPP for Dur- ham North. added that in his own area, speculation has come to a halt. Newman was replying to I Stephen Lewis, New Demo- cratic Party Leader, after Lewis cited figures from the University of Guelph show. ing that between 1968 and 1971 farmland purchases in Pickering were nearly all speculative. Lewis referred to the fig- ures while continuing his at- tack on Newman for reject- ing province -wide controls to protect farmland. Newman favors controls at the municipal level to prevent farmland going out of production. In an i.nt iew yester- day, Lewis "fed at the government's decision to ask police to investigate a leak of information to the N DP. i,l lust thA the whole thing is nonsensical." Lewis said in an interview. T he Ontario Provincial Police have been asked by Rendail Dick, deputy treas- urer, to investigate how the . NDP obtained a confidential 4 report on farmland policy.

Newman said at a news conference that fand specu- lation in farland "has drop- ped off to almost nil in my estimation." Newman, MPP for Dur- ham North, said he is from a`' h i g h 1 y speculative area," but he knows of only one or two farms in his dis- trict t h at have changed hands recently..

I i k )-I CN Tower's TV powel is a spectacular success By JACK MILLER Star staff writer THE CN TOWER will be a spec- tacular suenss for Toronto television stations, dwarfing even some of t h e broadcasters' dreams of expanded coverage, judg- ing by tests The Star conducted this week. CFTO and CBLT will put stronger signals into Buffalo than the Buffalo stations deliver here, letting view- ers in toe U.S. city tune in to Chan- nels 5 and 9 with simple "rabbit ears" an€enna. And little CITY -TV will transmit perfect. pictures to many centres which haven't been able to get as much as a flicker from the station. Some of these centres are more than 50 miles from Toronto. And our readings this week were conservative — even ultra -conserv- ative. Monday start The five local TV outlets — CBLT, CFTO, CICA, CBLFT, and CITY — begin full-time broadcasting from the 1,815-foot tower when they sign on Monday morning. But they have been running late - night tests of their equipment this week, broadcasting their regular programs from their old Iocations until sign off, then turning on their new CN Tower transmitters and running test patterns from about 2 a.m. on. Driving more than 850 miles and making 41 stops at locations ranging 110 miles from north to south and 120 miles from east to west, we compared reception from the old transmitters through the late evening with that from the CN fa- cility through the early morning. We used a portable TV set plug-. ged into a car cigarette lighter, plus an electronic signal -strength meter. For antennas, we used two small in- door models — a simple $4 "rabbit ears" for VHF channels (2 to 13) and a $10 double-bowtie model the UHF channels. This is minimal ante rnent, and we held it only Viler height by the roadside. with full-sized antennas on rooftop masts can thus expect far greater range. However, our purpose was not mainly to find out how far away the Toronto stations could be received, but rather to compare the old sig- nals with the new in strength and clarity. Here's what we found: CBLT (Channel 5): To the east, 4the old signal was slightly snowy at Newtonville, a 50•mile drive on Highway 401. The new signal was perfect at Port Hope, 58 miles away, and snowy in Cobourg, 65 miles away and behind a big hill. To the west, the old signal could not be watched at Morriston, 38 miles out on Highway 401. The new signal was clear and strong at Cam- bridge, 10 miles farther out, and was easily viewed at the junction of Highways 401 and 97, almost 60 miles out. In a southwest direction, the old signal was snowy at Clappison's Corners, northwest of Hamilton. The new one was perfect there. To the south, the old signal was fair to poor at the far side of Niaga- ra Falls. The new was clear and strong. In downtown port Erie, across t h e Niagara River from Buffalo, the old signal was barely discernible while the new one was snowy but fair. To the .north, the new signal was good in Barrie CFTO-TV (Channel 9): Because its present tower is so much higher than the others, CFTO gains the least by the move to the CN Tower. Even with our small antennas, we didn't have time to get out of range of the station's old signal in any direction. Even so, it was substan- tially stronger from the new tower. Both old and new signals were clear and sharp at Barrie to the north and at Port Hope to the east. The staftion gained more to the south LAKE SI BARRIE CAMBRIOGE TORQ TNTN MORRISTON CLAPPISON'S 0 CORNERS and west. Its old signal could just be viewed at Morriston, 38 miles west, while the new signal was perfect there and was easily watched 20 miles farther away. To the southwest, the old signal was snowy at Clappison's Corners (the Niagara Escarpment blocks it there), but the new one was perfect. In Fort Erie, the new CFTO signal was good, with sharp focus, strong contrast and only slight snow. CITY -TV: While not reaching as far as Channels 5 or 9, CITY showed the most spectacular gain over its old range. To the east, its old signal was very weak and snowy at Picker- ing, just outside the Metro bound- ary, but its new one was ,perfect at Port Hope, 57 miles away. To the west, the station's old picture was snowy and only fair at the junction of Highways 401 and 25, and it van- ished 10 miles farther away. The new signal was excellent at Cam- bridge, 48 miles away. To the north, the 'new signal was fair at Barrie. The old barely reach- ed past Ding City. Strong signal To the south, its signal was strong a n d clear 'in St. Catharines (35 nines), faint at the far side of Niagara Falls (43 miles), a n d showed just a trace of a picture at Fort Erie. Its old tower didn't deliv- er anything to those three spots. To the southwest, its old signal showed "barely a flicker" at Clappi- son's Corners and was fair at Hamil- ton Beach. The new signal was strong and clear at Clappison's Cor- ners and perfect at the beach. CICA AND C8LFT: The compad- sons were also highly flattering for Channels 19 and 25 and they should get better still, These two sta- tions will be broadcasting at only a fraction of their intended strength for the first few weeks from the CN Tower. Starting on Monday, then, hun- d r e d s of thousands of people throughout south-central Ontario will get far better reception from the Toronto stations. And, for most of the 300,000 people in the eastern half of the Niagara Peninsula, there will be reception on Canadian sta- tions to match their pictures on U.S. channels. For them, it's been 24 years coming. NEWTONVILLE PICKERING 11W COBOURG PORT HOPE I KITCHENER HAMILTON ST.

Mars is solid, with a density- not mucli different from earth's.

Both bodies, as a result, have seasons — swrimer, winter, spiting and. fill, Mars completes one full rotations around its axis in 24 lours, 37 minutes and 23 sends, whereas the earth does the same try 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

What passes for sea - level pressure on Mars is equivalent to the near -vacuum conditions of the earth's atmosphere at an atltitude of 10r714)0 feet. Still, there is a bit of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere, as welf as ice caps at each of the planet's nxeandering stream beds that may once have been carved by running water, or SO some of the more than 7,300 pastures taken of the Martian surface by the un a mned Mariner 9 probe in 1971 and 1972 Wicated. Primitive life? .All these similarities to 'earthly features have raised the posSibWty of life on Mars. Certainly, there is nothing comparable to human life there. B u t what about simpler organisms, such as microbes? Might they exist under such marginal atmospheric conAitions? Or might some primitive form of life be evolv- ing there? The United States has sent two identical Viking spacecraft to Mars in an attempt to answer these and many other questions. They are the 1M- and 14th probes assigned by ei- ther the United States or the Soviet Union to explore the planet, but only two — the Soviet Mars 2 and Mars 3 of 1971 — have actually touched down on its dusty surface. The others have either been "fly- bys" or "orbi`ers."

It's the ferry that is transporting the larder dur- ing the 4)a-1rillion-mile, n-umnt-h Journey to the Martian surface, and is to scan the landing sites selected for the rocket -fired descent vehicle. It is also designed to observe the planet with an array of remote sen- sors measuring temperature, pres- sure, wind ipeed and wind direction. The key items within the 5,125- pound orbiter's shroud -covered body are equipment for four major ex- periments, communications equip- ment, and two identical television cameras. These cameras are capa- ble of spotting an obiect the size of a football field from nearly 1.000 miles above the planet. The cameras will relay pictures of the Martian surface back to earth.

Council has com- missioned town solicitor Tim Sheffiefd to look into the matter. Reports have recently been received from Durham Board of Education bus drivers that the airport roads in the central core area are sometimes impassable. Currently, the roads are maintained by private firm, back Barclay Tra tsport of Claremont. That rm services roads according to contract, while the town would be able to maintain roads as required by weather and road conditions. Councillor Jack Anderson told The Tribune that council fears the poor condition of the roads could be hazardous if a fire occurs in the area.

The general rate will become $2.65 per hour, and the minimum for the con- struction industry will be $2.90 per hour. In addition, a tip differential will be in- troduced for some em- ployees in the hospitality industry, the new minimum to apply where tips are received. The category of tipped em- ployees it will cover, will be announced prior to the introduction of the $2.65 minimum. There are many business people in Durham North working in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry. Accordingly, I will keep their viewpoints in mind in any future government discussions on this matter. Similar an- nouncements • will be made with respect to the minimum rate applicable to students, and to har- vest workers in the seasonal agricultural industry. While these increases in the minimum wage should help improve the position of minimum wage earners, relative to other workers, the level will be under continual active review in 1976, and appropriate recom- mendations will be made as they become necessary. Pensioners in this riding who are currently receiving benefits from the Ontario Govern- ment's Guaranteed Annual Income system, will receive an additional increase in payment in this months cheque. Effective: Jan. 1, 1976, the Ontario Government increased its Guaranteed income levels to VM for a single pensioner, and $5w for a pensioner couple.

During his career Mr. Richardson has enjoyed the confidence of his employers and those who worked with him. This is verified by the fact that since 1942 he has served only three Boards and three schools. These districts are Wallaceburg, Mount Forest and Pickering. In the office of Superin- tendent, Mr. Richardson displayed a warmth, integrity and consistency that made him an excellent administrator. -Quietly efficient and task - oriented, he could be counted on to identify and solve problems with dispatch. Equally, many of his colleagues found his listening ability and counsel very supportive as they themselves worked through problems. It is a mark of his stature that he was pragmatic and en- thusiastic about new ideas in education to the last day of work while constantly seeking ideas and practices that would maintain and improve student achievement. Residing in Pickering Ontario, he and his wife Olwyn, are respected members of their church and community. It is not surprising that they have the most beautiful and talented granddaughter to be born'. J.C.

"This new name aptly reflects the geographical make-up of our riding," Mr. -Newman mpp's propose regional DURHAM REGION Three MPPs are Proposing a complete restructuring of Durham Region. Dr. Charles Godfrey (MPP - Durham West), Doug Moffatt (MPP - Durham East) , and Oshawa MPP Mike Breaugh propose removing Seugog, Brock and Uxbridge from Durham and allowing them to join any adjacent region or county they choose. Dr. Godfrey main- tains that the northern changes municipalities of Brock, scugog and Uxbridge are basically agricultural and don't have the same problems as the other five, located on the lakefront. He would also like to see water, sewers, waste, disposal, and most powers over roads return to local control. However, Dr. God- frey says he is strongly committed to centralized planning, what he would like to abolish is the expensive duplication of services. Bill 55 withdrawn because of protest TORONTO — A bill that would amend the acts that established regional governments in Ontario was withdrawn by the Ontario govern- ment last week. The legislature was to debate Bill 55 recently, but it was taken off the order paper for revision or revamping, according to Dr. Charles Godfrey, Durham west MPP. Dr. Godfrey said "apparently the government has received a storm of protest from those areas effected by the bill." The amendments would give regions power to increase their interim tax levies from 50 to 75 per cent and would give regions control of all land 150 feet from a regional road, among other things. School tames up 22% in Durham DURHAM REGION — Education taxes for Durham Region will go up about 22 per cent aftevi- oval of the 1976 budget by pr Dtirbam bird of education last week. The new "austerity" budget represents an 12 per cent rise over the 1975 figure an clua s reduction in a variety of ed ozlai programs and facilities. -Cost- to the average Durham homeowner will be $306 annually, up by $56 over last year. One contributor to the in- crease this year is a 12 per cent reduction in provincial grants.

They were strengthened to meet even death in the colosseum* They became the kind of Christian witnesses called for by the risen Christ. Facing ravenous beasts and gladiators, they cried out, "Jesus, Lord.n Today, on Coamun.ion Says maY we all have our strength renewed, our courage increased, our hearts free of fear; for our trust is in God.

Earlier, (�o ctl-� CZ2111 Ap John Van Gulick recently took over a dual pastorate at Greenwood and Mt. Zion United Churches. Mr. Van Gulick had a varied working career before settling on the ministry as his life occupation. He will pursue his master of theology degree at Emmanuel College in Toronto this fall. Greenwood pastor brings wide range of experiences GREENWOOD — It seems John Van Gulick, 31, has done nearly everything during his working life: from directing television to cleaning the men's room at a Howard Johnson's. Now, he starts a new phase as lye takes over pastoral duties at Greenwood and Mt. Zion United churches. Mr, Van Gulick, who just completed work on his B.A. Th. degre^ at St. Francis College, Maine, has also worked as a police dispatcher, historical researcher, counsellor, teaching assistant and law clerk. With his varied work experience, Mr, Van Gulick feels certain that the ministry "is the only thing I want to do with the rest of my life." He said he is "very thankful'' for his background. "I'm really glad it happened that way: I've seen a lot." Besides his pastoral responsibilities, Mr. Van Gulick plans to attend Emmanuel College this fall towards his master of theology degree. Some years ago, he recalls, he had started out his studies with the in- tention of going into the ministry, but then "had a commitment problem." He resolved it, "when I realized it wasn't a commitment to a church, but to God" that was involved. "My only regret is that it took me so long." The new pastor's experience in TV in- volved a stint with both CBS and ABC affiliates, and finally with a UHF station, in and around Washington D.C. One of his favorite duties, he recalls, was directing children's shows. Now, however, Mr. Van Gulick is happy to have ministerial work ahead of him instead of his previous job responsibilities, "Doing God's work is a very awesome responsibility," he summarized. "I'm very committed to what I'm doing." Greenwood news Introductory service held By MILDRED McTAGGART Sunday Services were well attended in the Greenwood United Church. In the morning Jean Outhouse sang Dovorak's `God is My Shepherd,' and in the evening the congregations of Mt.

GREENWOOD — Pickering Museum plans were brought another step closer to im- plementation this week when council approved the conceptual site plans submitted by the museum board. Architect Derrick R. Owen had been working with a technical advisory committee composed of representatives of the federal and provincial governments, The Metro Conservation Authority, Durham school boards, as well as ►•arious professional builders, designers, and members of the museum board, to arrive at the final layout. At present the Pickering Nluseum is located on expropriated land in Brougham, and the federal government has promised to pay approximately $100,000 towards a new site, plus moving expenses. Since the museum board managed to acquire a new and larger site for only $39,000, there is enough cash available for what Advisory Com- mittee Chairman Ken Spratley describes as "a This solves the pretty elaborate museum problem of providing far a small town." enough parking spaces without marring the The plans call mood of the village.

"We felt planning should be for the long term," said Councillor Spratley. "As Pickering grows, the museum can grow along with it." He is especially happy about the adjacent 10 - acre landfill site they were able to acquire for the nominal sum of one dollar a year from the federal government. t e an a so are planned. Train rides on a small steam railway salvaged from a gravel operation, three barns full of antique machinery, three miniature farms illustrating different farming methods and a working mill should appeal to the mechanically minded, while a natural am- phitheatre will lend itself to more quiet pursuits. Quite a bit of thought has been given to children as well. An adventure playground complete with old wagons and other artifacts of interest to youngsters will be erected on the other side of Duffins Creek, across from the museum site, and a picnic area will adjoin the parking lot. A nature school, where classes can come for a week at a time also is in the works, and the site is ideal for nature trails. To help defray operating expenses, the Town of Pickering has agreed to allow a 3.50 per capita grant in the 1977 budget toward the museum. Councillor Spratley said this warms about $11,000 more thr , they have been getting in previous years.

Why are they preoccupied with straining out "gnats"(Matt 23:24) instead of devoting themselves to what Jesus calls the weightier mat- ters of "justice and mercy and faith?" (Matt 23:23). One would think that the opposite would be true — that these very influential followers of Jesus would be straining after these things that will one day make a Christendom an organic world unity! I'm tired of hearing denomination- alists fell me that you can have unity of the spirit without organic union. This sounds good but that's as far as it goes!

In fact, as every Anglican priest knows, or ought to know, no new of- fences were added and indeed some were taken away. The offences quot- ed in the article are all set out in the Rules (Canons) of t h e Anglican Church of Canada which bind every Anglican priest in the country and have done so for many years. The proposed changes were essen- tially procedural and were designed to protect clergy by making discipli- nary charges more difficult to bring, and by giving power to the bishop and to others to deny complaints, and to ensure that if them ever was another disciplinary hearing it would be under rules which clearly safeguard the rights of the person _L_.. f tain that is as much as they may think.

The statistics may be impressive, but should that be the point at which the church 'begins? Further, most evangelical churches have fled to the suburbs instead of remaining among trite poor in the downtown areas. Does this aspect suggest again that the evangelicals go where they can ring up higher attendance statistics? Does this also suggest that they are becoming middle class and that all churches go through an economic cycle? The multimillion structures being erected by evangelicals are merely modern versions of t he elaborate gothic structures of the mainline churches. It is a far cry from the simple buildings they had in the past.

According to the figures, the loss in employees runs between 4,500 and 7,500; and in actual jobs, between 15,000 and 22,500. A group of researchers complied the statistics through an Employment Multiplier. It indicated that a multiplier of 1.4 to 1.7 existed for this area, in connection with the airport. It was also calculated that for every basic job created by the airport, an additional 0.4 to 0.7 jobs would have been created by the spending of airport employees. It was also found through studies that a similar employment situation existed in connection with the airport at Detroit. The Income Multiplier was used to estimate lost income to the region, and the figures show a very substantial amount. A figure of 2 was used as it was deemed reasonable, based on a background of variables. The average, income of. an . airport employee was estimated to be $22.000 by the year 1981. This was obtained by applying a 10 per cent growth rate for wages.. One of the most important points in the study was the income from employment, that new jobs and income would have created because of the airport being Mere.. It was stated that when new income arises from the creation of employment, the process of spending and respending spreads throughout the community. Using figures from the report, it was estimated that a total generated income range would have been $360 million to $600 million, with Durham's share being an increase of between $120 and $200 million. These figures did not include the amount that would have been generated in the area through the direct construction of the airport. This figure, festimated on capital expenditures, was between one and a half billion to $2 billion. The total generated income, that the Pickering Airport would have brought to Durham Region, was estimated at between 2 and 3 billion dollars. The report concluded that the total number of jobs, given normal growth for the region, would by 1986 have provided 115,000 jobs. f It was pointed out in the report that the figures were estimates and not presented as a final state- ment, nor did it point out the indirect effects on 1 the region, such as the strain on region resources to fund other programs caused by the airport devel- opment.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert E. Middleton of Greenwood, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Swedlo, Newmarket. The Double ring ceremony was performed by Rev. John Hill and John Van Gulick. Wed- ding music was played by Mrs. C. McTaggart. The church was decorated with yellow Mums.

Following the reception a dance was held in the Greenwood Community Centre. PAG F 8 Funeral Service For Harry A. Newman Funeral Services were held last week for one of Pickering's long time residents in the person of Harry Allen Newman, Q.C. Mr. Newman passed away at his home in Green- wood. He had been in po )r health for several months. Mr. Newman until last year had been Canada's oldest prac- tising lawyer. He was active at his legal work until the fall of 1975 when in his $(Ps, his health prevented him from continuing. Mr. Newman was well known throughout I Pickering and in legal and service club circles of Canada. For many years he lived at Fair- port Beach, then built a new home near Greenwood. He was the first Canadian president of the International Lions Club and his son William, Provincial Minister of Agriculture did a great deal to assist the former Rouge Hills Lions Club. Active in the com- munity in many ways, Mr. Newman also did a great deal for his church. St. Paul's on -the -hill at Dunbar - ton was built by him as an edifice to his father in 1934. Two of his t sons, Harry Jr. and t Bob entered the clergy, Bob being the rector I at Beaverton. Mr. Newman is credited with making it financial possible to move the old Oldfel- low's Hall from White - vale to the Brougham ' museum site. He was always interested in the political scene both at the local and higher levels, his son Bill going through the chairs of Pickering Council to his present status. His. other son, Tom, has been a member of the Newman and Newman legal firm for several years. Another son, Flying Officer Richard John Newman was killed in action over Holland while in ser- vice with the R.C.A.F. A daughter, Anne, resides in Cork, Ireland with her husband, Patrick Daly. Mr. Newman's wife also survives him. Mr. Newman was buried at St. Paul's Church. 71 species spotted in Pickermk By Mildred McTaggart The Annual Bird Census for the Pickering district was taken on Dec. '27.

The furor revolves around a cancelled all candidates meeting sponsored by the Greenwood Ratepayers Association and a candidate's debate aired over Ajax radio station CHOO, at which the only Ward 3 candidate in attendance was Norah Geraghty. Incumbent Ken Spratley and candidate Gerry Fisher objected to a press release released by Mrs. Geraghty, which appeared in last week's Tribune. The release quoted Mr. Fisher as refusing to participate because he was "new to the game and didn't really have a platform" and cited Mr. Spratley as withdrawing on the grounds that without Mr. Fisher "it wouldn't be an all candidates meeting." Mr. Fisher told The Tribune he had declined to participate in the meeting scheduled for Nov. 24 but complained his remarks had been taken out of context. He admitted saying he has no specific platform but denies this was the reason for his with- drawal. He told The Tribune he has operated a gas station in Greenwood for the past 18 years and "I didn't need to be in- troduced to my neighbours." Mr. Spratley denied having withdrawn from the meeting. Both men alleged the Greenwood Ratepayers Association is part of People or Planes (POP) and Group Against Garbage (GAG) and that the group was supporting Mrs. Geraghty, a member of all three. Mr. Fisher said he phoned back to the ratepayer group a few days later and agreed to participate but by then the meeting had already been cancelled and apparently has not been rescheduled. Bill Smith, an association member who was to have chaired the meeting told The Tribune he has never belonged to POP or GAG. Mr. Smith spoke with both male candidates about the meeting. "He (Mr. Spratley) never pointblank refused," Mr. Smith told The Tribune, "but he in- dicated it was not a good idea under the circumstances." The circumstances being Mr. Fisher's withdrawal. Mr. Smith expressed sur- prise that quotes from his conversations had appeared in another candidates press releases. "Any conversation I had, had no right to get to the press ( Turn to Ward, P. 20) �,L Ward 3 campaign (Continued from page 1) through N❑rah Geraghty," he said, "I am not really involved in politics," he said and expressed concern the controversy might "split up the community" of Green- wood. Mr. Spratley maintains he never with- drew from the meeting but was informed it was cancelled because of Mr. Fisher's refusal to attend. Mr. Spratley com- plained he was not properly informed about the candidates radio program and Mr. Fisher denied ever being con- tacted about it at all. According to Mr. Spratley he was never contacted by anybody from the radio station and was phoned by a woman who, he said, told him he had to say right away whether he would attend or not, but would not give him "the time or the format." He said he was told the program was being arranged by Isabel Thompson, a POP member, but said he was suspicious that the calls about the program came from another woman. Mrs. Thompson was contacted by The Tribune and explained she had spoken to the owner of the radio station and requested the station sponsor the program. She said she had undertaken to contact the candidates. The telephone calls, Mrs. Thompson said, were made by another woman because she lives in a different telephone exchange than the Ward 3 candidates and all her calls would have been long distance. Mrs. Thompson denied that POP is manipulating the cam- paign. She said that POP, as an organization, does not sponsor candidates. She expressed concern over voter apathy and explained that this is what led her to promote the meeting. She insisted that the debates, which were conducted at the station by a CHOO newsman, were all above board and she said approximately half the candidates participated.

That was Ed Tait, speaking in his capacity as chairman of the Ar- tistic Advisory Corn mittee for Massey Hall. I met Mr. Tait again when I interviewed him last week in his Green- wood home, where he has lived for the past five years with his violinist wife, Diane. Mr. Tait points out that the summer evening when I visited was the only time he had ever made a speech before the symphony audience. Most of Mr. Tait's waking hours seem to be centred, in some form or other, around the subject of music. He spends anywhere from one to 10 hours a day practicing by himself, depending on the difficulty of the pieces the orchestra is performing, and the symphony comes together 20 hours a week for practice sessions and three concerts. "Most people are surprised it's a full-time job," said Mr. Tait. "They ask `what do you do for a living?' and say,`Isn't there anything else?, " Besides the sym- phony itself, Mr, Tait's life is taken up witl' playing in the Toronto Reper to i re Or ch es tra, the Ed Tait of Greenwood, a five-year member of the Toronto Symphony, Metro United Festiva. here sounds a few notes on his Guarnerius string bass.

" When asked about the musical interests of the average person today, Mr, Tait commented, s easy to be critical and say that by far the majority don't have any musical taste, but that's no different than it was 200 years ago." Serious music in those days was per- formed only privately, in the homes of aristocrats, he said. „A very large per tentage" of the sym phony's audience now says Mr. Tait, `are young People, in their late teens and early 20's and early 30's, I don't think we've been falling behind." One interesting aspect of a professional musician's life are the instruments they play, which often are fine] crafted antiques. Mr. Tait has a 1685 "Guarnerius" string bass, which he bought a few ars ago from a dance eband musician in Toronto. "When I I dicovered the labeI anit d what it said on it," recalls Mr. Tait. "The Guarneri family was a very very famous instrument - making family: as famous as Stradiverius." The Toronto Sym- phony is not, com- para�, much of a y touring orchestra, ac- cording to Mr. Tait, an they have made only two tours since he has been With them: to Europe, and to Canada's east coast, this spring, A year from January making , however, the symphony will be g a history - making tour when they go on a three-week trip to the Republic of China. Regarding the journey, he said, "It's something that's been a dream for me ever since I learned there was such a Place." d The s members will o y be formsng in Peking for sure, and will visit The Great Wall and The Forbidden City. On his trip to Europe with the orchestra, Mr. Tait was accompanied by his wife Diane, a violinist who occasionally plays with the symphony. He and Diane had played together in the Art Centre Orchestra in Ottawa before coming to Toronto. Today, Mrs. Tait uses her violin to freelance with "the ballet, church jobs, and recording sessions." Mr. Tait's musical background involved' work with percussion instruments while in high school, but while at the University of Toronto he gradually became more involved with the string bass. ` By the time I graduated from university, I wanted to be a professional musician" he said. "At the time, I played with the Canadian National Youth Or_ chestra, and I enjoyed it sa much I really wanted to do it full time," Identical twins Kelly and Robin Raeburn were Greenwood community centre.

JANUARY 19- 1977 Ajax Council Hears Subdivision Proposal For Westney Heights by Emily Bentley After a detailed slide presentation by Mr. M. Chusid, spokesman for J.D.S. Investments Ltd., on a proposed subdivision west of Westney Road, the Ajax Council Committee of the Whole approved in principle this third revision of the draft plan, subject to approval by Durham Region and being included in the still incompleted District Regional official Plan. J.D.S. had built the Sheridan Mails in Missi- ssauga and Pickering and are in Phase One of. a third Sheridan Mall in North York, a revision of the old Crang Plaza, the oldest shopping plaza in Canada. - This developer has assembled nearly all the land on the site proposed for "Westney Heights" Sub- division, a parcel of 294 acres bounded by Highway 2, Westney Road, the Third Concession and a proposed road east of Rotherglen. The third revision includes 412 single family units. 1020 semi-detached homes, 558 townhouses and 600 apartments. The apartments would all be contained in one building just north of the com- mercial area at Highway 2 and Westney Road. The rest of the subdivision will consist of homes, 34 acres of open space (parkland), 2 schools and roads, including one main east -west collector d Su ested development to the south, betwp— '` 77 roa . gg Highways 2 and 401, will possibly ne The circulation of the Pickering's Bay News is steadily increasing, and Circulation an interchange at Westney and 401.

There were several jokes enjoyed by all over the developer's choice of name for his subdivision, with Councillor Henry Westney getting the best laugh with a suggestion that "Surely, without much effort, you can come up with something better than Westney Heights - perhaps 'Mason Heights'?" Councillors asked Mr. Chusid several questions, and he and Mayor Mason had a discussion on the come -back of semi-detached homes. Mr. Chusid said J.D.S, foresees a need for some kind of home between a townhouse and a single family home. He answered Councillor Val Marshall's question on the total projected population being 8812 persons. Mr. Robert Martindale, Town Planner, gave a detailed report on the proposal, pointing out that the site is designated rural -agricultural under the old Township of Pickering Official Plan, which is still in effect. Until the new official plan is approved by the Ministry of Housing, approval of the develo- per's proposal cannot be given. He agreed with Mayor Mason that approval of the site and the general idea as displayed in the proposal was possible, as both were favourable to the Committee. OTHER AGENDA The Town Planner gave a brief report on 95 acre The Town Planner gave a brief report on Mr. T. Walton's proposed 96 acre rural estate develop- ment, to consist of 45 lots fronting onto a looped street running off a proposed extension of Sideline #2 extending south from Concession 4 to the C.P.R. tracks. A motion that this not be accepted was passed by the Committee, after discussion of flaws in the plan. Mr. Martindale also reported on the Brock Indus- trial Area Recommended Tertiary Plan, concerning the large area bounded by Lake Ontario, Ajax, Highway 401 and Tray Ridges. He emphasized the need for guidelines for the amount of industrial floor space, and architectural and landscaping controls. His recommendations were approved in a motion carried by the Committee. nWSE 00 . - By Ehe �AAC,� STR nme'be �od the rc cryt, ws of i ph Jones, his brother Vancouver are staying Ian, and sisters Mrs. with Mr. and Mrs. Ker enn McTaggart and McTaggart for a r4# rs.

New courses for beginners are now being enrolled at the Greenwood Rec- reation Center. There are many crafts already being done by this club. Sid Pugh, chairman of the Senior Citizens Committee promoting the new crafts, notes that men in the area, as well as women, have been attracted by classes offered in picture framing, oil painting and pottery. A beginners class in pottery is being offered at the former Cherrywood Schoolhouse, beginning Feb. 23.

Trustee French described 1977 as a year o continued, economic restraint for the Board. This was re- flected in the low increase (10.94%) in 1977 over the 1976 Budget. Also passed at the Board was a motion to make it Board policy, when constructing additions to K-6 schools, to include rooms which could be easily converted to grade 7 and 8 science and art rooms. Such classes must be 900 sq. ft. in area, while regular classes are 750 sq. ft. The additional construction costs would be negligible and such a design would provide greater flexibility in future use of the school. This policy does not affect the Glengrove addition, as it has been speci- fically planned to service K-8 from the time of building. Finally, the Board received an excellent oral submission from Mrs. Jane Milne, President of the Durham Chapter of the Association for Autistic Children, regarding the need for a pre - vocational training programme for teenage autistic children in Durham. A very busy Education Week is now over. 1 had the great pleasure of attending several special programmes and Open House nights at area schools. Vaughan Willard held its special activities one week earlier than the rest, as Principal David Mills and grade 6 students spent Education Week using the Outdoor Education facilities at Camp Samac. Both Bayview Heights and Sir John A. Macdonald opened their classrooms to the public. My whole family enjoyed the well -presented (and well -attended) Open House at Pickering High School. Dunbarton High School's "Perception '77" provided a fascinating opportunity for students to learn more about their social environment. I commend the staff for using Education Week to present a programme aimed at enriching the experiences of their students. Students are what it's all about! Finally, I attended on April 21, a well -attended public meeting at Lincoln Avenue Public School in Pickering Village. The school's Parents' Liaison Committee has proposed that a creative play area be built on the school grounds. The Parents' Com- mittee have agreed to fund and build the play area, but they require Board approval to use school property. Five interested trustees, plus Board Superintendent of Plant, Jim Russell, went to the school to hear the opinions of the community, regarding this project. The matter will now be discussed at the next Property Committee meeting, which concerned members of the public will be welcome to attend.

This is an increase of 10.94% over the 1976 Budget. The Prov- incial Government is expected to Finance 55% of the budget. Durham taxpayers will fund the remainder. A mill rate increase will be required. For the towns of Pickering and Ajax, the 1977 mill rate increase over 1976, FOR EDUCATION ONLY, will be sub- stantially lower than for the rest of the Region, The Ajax mill rate for education will increase .758 mills and in Pick- ering the increase will be .781 mills for ed- ucation. The increase for the Town of Whitby will be 3.451 mills. Salaries, wages and employee benefits make up 79.11 % of the entire budget $57,846,742. - and also account for the major increase over the 1976 budget. All current school programmes will be maintained. In addi- tion, the Psychological Services Department will receive an extra Psychologist and Psy- chometrist to ease the increased workload in Ajax, Pickering and Northern schools. Also Special Education Ser- vices will receive 15 more teachers regional- ly which will raise the level of service pro- vided to 3.5 special education teachers per 1000 students. One additional consultant will be hired raising the total number of Board consultants to 24.5.
