2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Dec. 12, 1973 DP Nominates (From Page One) ne uues noi want a multi million dollar development from Brampton stepping on him. There is an obvious call by the people, for the govern- ment to do something td preserve the way of life that they have chosen." He indi- cated that the present govern- ment had not been listening to the moods of the people. ;Regarding the issue of the Mvetro dump in Hope township, Mr. Moffatt pointed out that g4rbage is an important resource, not something to get rid of, and that people in Europe had been utilizing gàrbage for some time. Myr. Moffatt stated that the lack of guidance and direction by the Ministry of Education wth regards to the curricu- lum being followed in the schools of this area and the rest of the provinces had forced the high school teach- ers to withdi'aw their services. The villain was Tom Wells. Economie sanctions were im- posed, programs put in and môney taken away...with- drawal was the only solution. He indicated that the elemen- taiy school teachers will now be facing this. Mr. Moffatt made note of the sense of lack of responsi- bility by various gavernment dep artments when seeking value for your tax dollar. He simply stated that no govern- ment should be in power as lon~g as the present Tory administration has been. He said 'My friends Bill Davis and the big blue machine are in trouble in this area as well as the rest of the province. Let him call an election. We are ready and we shall make the government of this province one which responds to the needs and wishes of the people. It doesn't now. It's lost its head. The spectre of bureaucracy is not a ghost, with the Tories in Ontario it's a . reality. Let's put the government back where it belongs, in the hands of the people." Mr. Moffatt closed by asking his supporters to work hard to establish a poll organization. He stated "We don't have the money, we have the people." îd.P.P. Fred Young Guest Speaker The guest speaker for the evening was Fred Young, member of the provincial legislature for Yorkview. Mr. Young predicted a spring election. He indicated that the people today are seeing what t he issues are, what the opposition is. 'Some- thing is stirring... an ability and willingness to think on the part of the voters.' He brought the fact up that the Tories had proposed paying an old age pension bonus of $50. just in time for Christmas and in fact the $50. arrived a week before the last election with a not enclosed from the government saying that this was a gift from the Tories. Mr. Young went on to say that the old people were then left for two years. He found this a rather callous approach to govern- ment and welfare and stated 'What the N.D.P. wants is what British Columbia is already paying... $209 a month with increases as the cost of living goes up.' Mr. Youn.; gave the figures that last year in Ontario the gross income was 42 billion dollars, which is an average of $25,000 per family. He indicated that in 1973 the provincial product increased by five billion dollars and that the cost to the province to bring the pension for the old people up to $209 a month would be 55 million dollars. He pointed out that the people from the last generation had laid the groundwork for this wealth and now we won't support them. Mr. Young urged that we "Do it now, Don't wait for the election". The speaker also gave the federal and provincial tax figures for 1951 and 1973. In 1951, personal income accoun- ted for 26 percent and cor- porate income 28 percent. In 1973, personal income com- prised 49 percent and corpor- ate income 12 percent. He asked "How concerned can the government be for their friends?" He indicated that by Heather Barrie Bowmanville High SchQol presented Meredith Willson's "The Music Man" to three verv responsive audiences Nov. 28,29 and 30. The musical was directed by Bob and Jean Sheridan. Bill Dill- ing took the male lead as Professor Harold Hill, a lynamic super-salesman. He with the help of an old triend, Marcellus Washburn, played by Wayne Coombes, tries to convince the townspeople of River City, Iowa, that they need a boys band to keep the young boys out of trouble, the source of which is the new pool table owned by their self- half of the Canadian corpora- tions pay no income tax. Shell Oil and Dennison mines for many years paid no tax, and many large corporations paid a rate equivalent to a married man with two children making between six and eight thou- sand dollars per year. He added that now the govern- ment bas removed inheritance taxes from large estates. Mr, Young commented that states were built up not only from the investments and brain power of large companies but the time and labor of.the average man and that the taxes on this person should be low. Mr. Young went on to talk about development. He said "Let's not be overtaken by the word development. "He point- ed out that as economic growth increases we should build parks, schools and hospitals... non-profit but good for the people. Curling rinks, shopping centres and luxury apartments don't help the people.I" "t isn't how much we produce but what kind of goods and services. 'Let's use the words-quality of life, regionally, provincially and federally." In closing, Mr. Young urged the people, both professional and working, to support Doug Moffatt and congratulated him on his nomination. important mayor, played by AI Short. The excitement of the people is portrayed in rnany im pressive choral num bers under the direction of Elliott Tremeer and John Crookshank. Hill, trying to involve every- one in the excitement of the band, so he can escape notice, wins over the five disagree- able old members of the school board by bringing them together into a barbershop quintet whose members were played by Joe Dalrymple, Rob Bryson, Mark Munday, Dave Anderson and Tony Whilans. Hill also succeeds in convin- eing the group of buzzing town busybodies; including the mayor's wife, played by Heather Barrie; the wives of some of the barbershop uin- tet played by Helen Bridges. Pam Keith, and Shelley Ball; Marcellus Washburn's girl- friend or the pianola girl' played by Mary Ann Gil- christ; and other including Leila Cowle, Carol Shetler, Karen Ball and Marian Bohl- ken. One of Professor Hill~s greatest feats was helping Winthrop Paroo, a ten-year old problem child played by Gary Coombes, into overcom- ing his speech impediment and shyness much to the delight of Winthrop's mother, a jolly Irish women played by Janet Luxton. Hill, however, doesn't suce- eed so easily in winning over Winthrop's sister, Marion Paroo, the piano teacher- librarian played by Jennifer Rehder. He, instead, falls in love with her. But he does succeed in changing Marion's Important Role of Hum Described by Hydro In Annual Kiwanis Ladiesg by John Storm The next time you hear a person say he's not power hungry, tell him he's a liar. We all use power, electrical power that is, every day of our lives, said Reg Mouck, elect- rical inspector for Ontario Hydro when he spoke to the Bowmanville Kiwanis club Ladies Night, Dec. 10. Mr. Mouck's speach on electrical use and safety was appropriate for the Christmas season. A major misuse of power arises when people improp- erly use electricalapplianess. "Some of us use them not too carefully, with the result, that we are dissatisfied not only with the appliances, but with the system which distributes the power to them." The most mishandled piece of electrical equipment in homes today has to be the extension cord he said. AI- though the cords may be used quite properly.for small appli- ances, their use for large units such as freezers and washing machines is extremely dang- erous, he said. These high- powered appliances are all used on high wattage systems, and, in most cases, require a completely seperate circuit for their satisfactory opera- tion. When a weak extension cord is used on a large appliance, the wire inside the cord heats up considerably. The insula- tion around the wire is consequently also over heat- ed. A life-saver in many, cases, says Mr. Mouck is the humble fuse. Acting as a watchdog on the electrical set up, this resourceful little friend stops serious damage before it starts. Once a fuse is blown however, said Mr. Mouck, it is usually the human logic which fouls up the system again by reinserting a fuse of higher resistance. Should the elect- rical system become over- loaded again, a fire would likely start before the fuse had the opportunity to ruin itself. Certain safeguards should be taken by anyone facing an electrical system which is not working, says Mr. Mouck.

Other conflicts in the play are produced by Zaneeta Shinn, the mayor's oldest girl played by Kathy Piper and Tommy Djilas, a 'tough kid' from the 'wrong side of town' played by John Sheridan. They are going steady behind the disapproving mayor's back. Charlie Cowell, a re- vengeful anvil salesman play- ed by Ron Lewis, who tries to reveal Harold Hill's true identity also creates difficul- ties.

The Wah Tan Ye girls, led by the mayor's wife, are an amusing group of young girls. A group of travelling salesman, discuss- ing tricks of the trade, start off the play on a train complete with conductor, played by Fred Rigger. Another import- ant group of people are the dancers who, under the direc- tion of Mrs. John Rundle, presented an impressive per- formance.
