Councillor Cowman suggest- ed il would flot take long for one t0 become aware they are -lonely, lost and bewildered." She stressed 10 council that these people are the section of our population which Mr.,Max Rice, representing Ridge Pine Park Co. Ltd., wants 10 build for. Regarding the benefits to the community from Ibis oroject' nrooosed for the Wilmnt Creek area to the south-west of tbe Village of Newcastle, Councillor Cow- mani reported tbat the taxes from it could provide some $400,000 10 the town, an amount approximately eigbt per cent of the total tax receipts of this municipality. Shie compared this with a manufacturing industry such as St. Mary's Cernent, "a top contributor." wbich provides approximately $100,.00O. Coun. Cowman, explaining tbe preference of tbe proposed location, advised that it is "a magnificent piece of lake shore aItbe moment, tbe home of neglected apple trees and "gone to seed" pasture." She continued, noting tbat "the custom of. the province to date seerns to be 10 desecrate this natural grandeur by building industries sucb as Lasco Steel, Hydro generating plants and> cement factories. Mr. Rice wants to build an industry for us, but, an industry witb a difference." "Who are we 10 bold this matter up?" she asked coun- cil, "this matter of the quality of life for our older genera- tion?' T1he proposed project would provide in tbe neigbborhood of 950 double-wide mobile home units for an "adult com- munity", primarily restricted 10, couples, but under certain circumstances available for lease by three people sucb as a man and wife plus maybe a sister' or brother of one 'of tbem or possibly to three elderly women wbo wish to live together. The plus factor for sucb people to live ini sucb a comrnunity is tbe provision of recreational facilities. On a recorded vote of, Councillor Cowrnan's motion 10 approve tbe project in principle at the Wilmot Creek site, only Councillor Lyall and Mayor Rickard were opposed. Mayor Rickard bad asked Councillor Cowman if she bad, prior to supporting this pro- ject, asked the residents of Newcastle Village wbether tbey support it. Her reply was negative but she reported to the Statesman later that conversation with Councillor Hobbs following counceil indi- cated no oppisition is preva- lent in the village. Mayor Rickard's prime ob- jection is that tbe proposed site would take yet another piece of good farm land out of production. OBITUÂRY Frances E.
