Swing, serve and volley, for tomorrow it may snow Tennis anyone? All you need is a pair of warm gloves and the tennis season is instan- tly extended. Unseasonably warm temperatures have allowed Linda Young (left) and Anne Woolger to take to the courts over the noon hour. - Free Press Staff Photo Senior's Christmas By The Hon. George Ashe, MPP (PC - Durham West) Ontario Minister of Revenue A number of Durham West residents avail them- selves of transportation services provided by GO Transit and I receive both compliments and criti- cism of the service which is provided. This week, I would like to discuss two areas of concern which have been brought to my attention by riders of the GO system as well as operators of the transit service. Although .we have been experiencing a break from the traditional weather conditions common at this-time of the year, I have no doubt that a major snowfall is not far away. Maintenance personnel at GO Transit are also pessimistic about the continua- tion of the warm weather and have made necessary arrangements to ensure that GO facilities remain clear and ice-free when temperatures return to normal. Snow removal crews can operate most effectively between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. which makes dealing with a major snowstorm which begins at 3 a.m. more than a little difficult. GO maintenance personnel estimate that it takes at least two hours to react to any snowstorm - which is an imlíortant fact to keep in mind in the coming months. This year's snow removal budget for the GO Transit system is $750,000 and involves 32 contracts dealing with the new maintenance of safe conditions at 52 GO facilities. GO officials are presently reviewing all snow removal procedures but weather conditions remain the unpredictable element in even the most efficient winter maintenance program. Fortunately for all commuters, the GO system employs a dedicated staff who will work around the clock, if necessary, to maintain safe and accessible facilities. I would also like to discuss the use of the GO Mon- thly Pass which is for the exclusive use of the card- holder and is not transferable. This pass must be shown to the ticket attendant or bus driver each time that it is used for transportation on GO Transit. A lost pass will not be replaced nor will the card- holder be reimbursed and this policy should encour- age commuters to place proper identification on the pass to enable it to be returned to them. Durham West residents should continue to benefit from the services provided by GO Transit as we an- ticipate the extension of existing service in the coming months and years. It sure is not perfect, but our GO system is world- renowned. Use it. It is yours! The Brooklin Centen- nial Senior Citizens held their annual Christmas. dinner on Friday, Dec. 17 at 6 p.m. There were 57 members who sat down to the delicious pot-luck meal. After a short period of cards a Christmas carol sing-song was held, led by Mrs. Hazel Hall and accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Evelyn Croxall. A visit from Santa Claus followed when an exchange of gifts took place. As the President was about to close the even- ing, Mr. Ralph Mow- bray came forward and after a short speech, presented Levi and Carrie Arksey with a beautiful anniversary quartz clock, a gift from the members in appre- ciation for their years of service as President and Secretary- Treasurer.

Friends, relatives, a television appearance and a free trip to Dis- neyland were the ingre- dients for Laurie's per- fect party, compliments of CFTO-TV in Toronto. Laurie and her mother, Rosel Gosse, won their grand prize trip on the weekly game show, "Just Like Mom", last Wednesday. Mother and daughter teams compete to deter- mine which pair can best guess their part- ners' response to ques- tions. Like the old New- lywed Game, partners answer questions while the other Is out of the room. Laurie and Rosel Gosse won the Disney- land trip for two after defeating three mother- daughter teams. Laurie is a grade 3 thanks and the evening closed with the singing of Auld Lang Syne. Good food, fasi and friendly service.
