PAGE 6. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Il1, 1985, WHITBY FREE PRESS BrDk1 lin Bylinres In spite of the heat wave we've been having,- I think it must be going to be a particularly cold win- ter. Why else would so many young people have chosen this faîl to get married? The way I figure it what with the energy crisis and ail, they!,ve decided that it wiil be warmer to cuddle up in their own littie nest. Or maybe they've got a preview on the coming inflation rate and actually believe that two can live as cheaply as one. 0f course they can - if.one star- ves. Whatever the reason, I've been beseiged with wedding invitations lately and if you couldn't reach me last weekend it was because I was in Ottawa at- tending yet another one. What with ail tis extra activity, my personal gremilin seerns to have been worklng overtime. Last week a page of copy got lost in the shuffle somewhere between the typewriter and the copy desk. If your notice ended up in limbo, please accept My humblest apologies. BOYS AND GIRLS AWANA CLUBS Meadowrest Baptist Church is again sponsoring tese clubs for both boys and girls from age 3 to 14.

For those moms who did manage to get away from it ail, reality can be quite a joît. For those who were stuck at home ail summer vainly trying to keep tabs on active youngsters, the beginning of school is first a relief and then the quiet gets to you. In either case, .the Brooklln Moms Morming Club offers a chance to get out and relax over coffee with old friends or new, sharing the pleasures and problems of motherhood with those in the same boat. The new fail program begins on Wednesday, Sept. 18 for 15 weeks in a new location - the Christian Education Centre of Brooklin United Church from ý 9:15 to 11:30 a.m. As usuai babysitting for pre- schooiers is available for a smaîl extra fee.

Batten will fight for controlied growth if remelected Nov. 12 The Nov. 12 municipal election is getting into gear as yet another member of Whitby Town Council has an- nounced that he will seek re-election. Ross Batten said last week that he will try for a third term as the north ward's voice on council. The 41-year-old Ash- burn resident came wlthin 63 votes of losing his seat in the 1982 elec- tion. That experience, he candidly adrnits, caused him to, find new en- thusiasim and direction in the job. The biggest problem facing the north ward, Batten maintains, is the lack of piped water and sanitary sewer services to Brooklin. This problem has led to a lack of development in Brooklin as well as causing many problemns for the homeowners. While he notes that water and sewer ser- vices are a regional continue to prod the region into some ac- repair many long ignored roads in the nor- th ward. Council originally wanted to do this work over a 10-year period but Batten said that was unrealistic. Batten also firmly maintains that now is the time for both council and the region to start addressing Brooklin's probiems. 111 thlnk the crisis point is here," he saîd, "'Brooklin is at the stage when over the last 10 years it has declined in population." He also is advocating that council implement a policy of "sensible, controlled growth" in the hamlet or "it is going to continue to deteriorate. While one ofshis major goals during the next council termn is to "make sure, as much as possible, that taxes do not increase" he wants te ensure that many needed projects are un- dertaken in the north ward. This work, he added, also extends to im- proving recreation facilities in the area. He aiso wants to ses that Brookiin ani area resîdents have better access to recreation facilities. 133 enter BHS flower show By ALDINE WICK Last Wednesday the regular meeting of the Horticultural Society was held at the C.E.
