WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1981, PAGE 27 Port residents will oppose, Port Whitby residents will oppose any zoning changes that will permit the construction of townhouses and "cluster" apartments in the area. In a letter to Durham Region's commissioner of planning, Dr. Mofeed Michael, Bert Mondria said that area residents believe the proposed zoning changes will lower the value of exist- ing homes. The Dufferin Street resident is also of the opinion that should the plan be restricted to permit only the con- struction of single and semi-detached homes Whitby taxpayers will save millions of dollars because it will not be necessary to install sewer connections. "To accommodate in- creased sewer flows from townhouses and apartment buildings, the region will have to install new sewers on existing streets in addi- tion to building the $3 million sewer diversion and these will result in higher taxes," Mondria said to Michael in his letter. Mondria, a long-time resident of Port Whitby, also maintains that streets will need widen- ing, curbs will have to be installed and new asphalt laid. "I, therefore, ask that you replace the pro2 posed changes with one that designates the existing community as one only for single family and semi- detached homes," he said. H.S.H.S. CONT'D FROM PG' 9 starting on December 26. Although Don said that he was surprised to be chosen to play on the all-star team, it came to no surprise to other hockey fans, consider- ing that he played several exhibition games with the Oshawa Generals when their NHL draft picks were in training camps. Congra- tulations and the best of luçk Donny! The last day of school before the Christmas holidays begin is December 22. The regular 70 minute class- es will not be held, but there will be four half- hour classes in the morning. At il a.m. there will be a Christ- mas Assembly, lunch will follow and in the af- ternoon, activities will be taking place. The yearbook club has also been busy. On December 9, all team and club pictures were taken in the cafetorium. Then on December 17, the first semester gra- duates can get their pic- tures taken. Considering that the semester changeover is right around the corner, the Trotter's Club is planning an outing. For all of those people who enjoy show-shoeiîng or cross-country skiing, this would be a great way to spend your vaca- tion. townhouses Between You and Me ByRUTHCOLES Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost i status. Laurence J. Peter Today, I would like to ruminate about cheese, one of our favourite foods and the dictionary tells me to ruminate is to "chew the cud, mediate or ponder!" Exactly! I ponder long and hard about marketing boards and I have to admit I am prejudiced, not for, but against. Of course, I am not an expert in these matters and not very well versed in this area. How- ever, I hear a great deal, read and see. What I see influences me very much and for the life of me I cannot see many advantages. Bureaucracy and bureaucrats take up a good part of our lives at great cost and are ever expanding. Again, I turn to the dictionary for a definition of the word bureaucracy - "government by bureaus; the concentration of power in administrative bureaus; a body of officials administrating government bureaus; usually implying excessive formalism, red tape or pretentious officialism." The latter three, I underline. Millions of dòllars; is the end result worth the cost? Again, I say people demand services and ser- vices we get. Many of us ask for nothing and paddle our own canoe but because a certain segment of society does not see it this way, we all suffer. All farmers have not wanted marketing boards but others have; some must have felt they needed a security blanket. I think farmers should operate under a free marketplace, free enterprise, at its best. A risky business farming because of Mother Nature, drought, storms and infestations, it can be a gamble but if you are in the business, the risk is part of your life. I would be interested to know what we would pay for cheese to mention one product if there was not a marketing board. Quota is the key word in relation to many products such as butter, cheese and milk. Cheese is a by-product of milk, pure and simple. How many pounds of cheese are in storage? Why cannot all this cheese be in the marketplace at a' lower price? The volumn sold I should think would compensate for dollars lost. Why are milk quotas cut so drastically that some farmers have to cut their herds? The answer, of course, is quite obvious. To be regulated in such a manner suggests something to me that I do not like. Maybe, to put it simply, people should fall or rise as they may. Success depends on many things, so does failure. If poor land is involved this is not a plus and for "new" farmers and I think there are many, there is a great deal of expertise needed. Farming demands much of the farmer as does business and commerce. No doubt experience is the greatest teacher of all.

Thank You. c AND B o R ALEm :0-71 QuliMUsdCasi M ruk cheese can be made and I understand the manu- facture of cheddar is under strict milk quotas, baout 44 per cent of the quota set ten years ago. Is it true that for fancy, soft or "toy" cheeses, milk is availabe in any quantity? No doubt, the realization of how great the demand would be at the present time for these cheeses was not anticipated. Canada at this point in time is famous for her Canadian Cheddar. The origin of Cheddar began in Somerset, England in a village called Cheddar many, many years ago. Cheese has been a staple food since ancient times as it is today. Cheddar is a hard rennet cheese and improves with age if kept under proper conditions but soft cheese is intended for rather immediate consumption. And so, we are back in Whitby and in a cheese shop. You no doubt have seen advertisements in the Whitby Free Press for G.R. Frame, cheese mer- chant. What a wonderful assortment of cheese. Ross Frame also carries brown eggs much to, many people's delight. Brown eggs are great favourites and these are farm fresh. A friend of ours has chickens from far away, I can't remember where at the moment but they lay green and pink eggs, maybe yellow too. They are pretty and when he gave us some I hated to break them open. Riaht now. a friend phoned to ask me if I had seen' the Christmas baskets at this store and told me how great they are. I don't think I can be accused of giving free advertising after reading the advertise- ment in our paper. Ifind the ads very appeaiing. Ross specializes in Canadian Cheddar which Is a big seller and probably represents 58 per cent of sales in various forms. Cheese, bread and an apple or other fruit makes a nutritious lunch for any child, a simple easy lunch to prepare as it is for anyone, young or old. Bread las been called the staple of life and so is cheese as it always has been over the years. Probably out of reach for many due to the higl price although no higher in proportioi than oter food staples. Many of us feel it should be made in great quantities and allowed to go where it may. Unless there is enough milk the cheese will not be made. It seems to me that it is quite difficult to find as many small cheese manufacturers around the country as we did in the past. No doubt, many of them are being brought up by large compames. Marketing boards will never go away. Like death and taxes, they willbe ever present. Something I read the other day amused me, what else? Better to be amused than to cry rea tears. A few words by James H. Boren, "Guidelines for Bureaucrats: When in charge ponder, when in trouble delegate, when in doubt, mumble."
