2 The Canadian Statesman. BOWmanville. 0'tnhpr 29. 1975 Section Two 8%,IlORIAL COMMENT Thanks for Being Helpful As this is being writ ten, we've just corne through one hectic day -and expect another today, as' literally hundreds of Statesman mail sub- scribers have corne to the office to pick up their copy of the paper that ordinarily would have been deliver- ed to their home by a letter carrier. We printed a few hundred extra copies to take care of the. early morning rush, on Thursday, rather than taking time to, go through ones already labelled and tied into walks and rural route bundies. They were ail gone shortly after noon and the office staff then began to check through the labelled bundies, a- chore that kept them so busy they didn't have time to take care of their reguilar duties. E rlier, as soon as the papers came off'the press on Wednesday afternoon, cars were despatched with mail bags from Hampton, Enniskillen, Burketon, Blackstock, Janetville, 'Bethany, Pontypool, Newcastle, Orono, Newtonville, Kendal and even into Port Hope where the postal staffs were stili working. In the rush, some of the mailing got mixed up and more cars had to be sent out early TPhursday to take care of a few places where store deliveries had not been made. We are mentioning the above to let subscribers know a bit of what went on here to take care of them. Unfortunatély, papers to Oshawa and rural routes and other more distant place could not be delivered. They are still sitting in the office ready for mailing if and when the strike ends. We do want to express our appreciation to subscribers who. in some cases. went to a considerable amount of trouble to corne and pick up their papers. There were only a couple whlo gave the office staff a bit of a hard time over the phone; the rest were most understanding and for that we are thankful. One person came all the way from Scarborough for a paper. Next week, the situation should be a bit better organized here to take care of even more mail subscribers. In the meantime, let's hope some- thing happens to end the strike. It's costing everybody, including the strikers an unbelieveable amount of money and inconvenience and the longer it continues the harder it will hit the entire country. The union has written the govern- ment asking that negotiations be renewed without any restrictions, so possibly there will be some develop- ments towards a solution by the time this appears in print. We certainly ho pe so because the only other solution is for Parliament to legislate the'postal workers back to their jobs. a à'ever occurs to bring an end to the strike, cannot corne too soon. Labour -Too Hastily -Assuits Controls I viaUJU Fr ets w 'vater-3ewer (Fromn the Toronto Star) It's quite understandable that union leaders question whether the federal government's anti-inflation program will control the prices of business as effectively as t he wages of labor. But when some of them - in this case executives of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) - Canada's largest - start calling for a national protest strike even before their slightest fears are justified, it's not only beyond comprehension, it's downright illogical and irrespon- sible.i "This is probably the greatest challenge that's ever faced this union", .according to Grace Hart- man, CUPE's new president, speak- ing of a resolution urging the Canadian Labor Congress to caîl the national strike. That may be so. But the challenge facing ahl Canadians - unionists, businessmen, professionals, pQliti- cians and ordînary people - is rnuch, much greater. The task is to put the brakes on rampaging inflation power and Canada's collec- tive ability to compete in world mnarkets. If we're successful, everyone will be a winner. That's the aim of Ottawa's wage-price curbs. And judging by the bulk of letters on the subject received by The Star - before the postal strike cut them off - rnost concerned people support the effort. But sorne of the unions don't, or won't, see it that way. Prime Minister Trudeau's image had barely faded from the television screen after his anti-inflation an- nouncement 10 days ago when the United Auto Workers said they T.he'nHallowel'en Ghosts, witches, goblins and other Trick or Treaters are getting ready for the big haunt. The Ontario Safety League has some suggestions to help you recognize safety-conscious spooks when you see them. Look for: Glowing Ghosts - That Hallowe'en spook with the eerie glow is probably a wise young ghost sporting reflec- tive tape or material. If you're driving, you'1l be sure to spot this. one ... even on the blackest night. t One Sider - A Trick or Treater who glides up one side of the street at a f time. They neyer criss-cross the 1 street. I Maskless Marauder - This one 1 knows it doesn't take a lot Of E make-up to put on a scary face. It's safer than a mask, that could interfere with vision and hearing. F-Lqa-mâââkd-mauranderg can- would defy the program and thé United Steelworkers of America began laying plans to challenge the government in the courts. Local union officers took their cue from the big fellows and issued denuinciations and defiances of the new program, almost before the ink was dry on its first draft. They talked as if it could be presumed, without any need for proof, that the whole thing was an elaborate- conspiracy to "get" the, working man, not an honest attempt to set the national economy to rights. This kind of reaction f ouls public discourse and poisons what is left of public trust in this country. Official labor evidently wants no interference with a wage inflation which yielded an average increase of 22.5 per cent,' in the first year of negotiated settlements, during the second quarter of 1975. This is nearly double. the current rate of price inflation. The achievement of such gains in a stagnant econom-y means that other people - chiefly the weak and unorganized - must suffer lusses in real income. Against that background, it seems that labor is not so much attacking injustice as defending greed. It's too early to prove injustice in the control program. Admittedly it will be more difficult in some cases to ferret out violations of the price guidelines than breaches of the wage limits. But it certainly is not impossible. The big unions, through their close dealings with big business, and with their capable research staffs, would do better to help the Anti-Inflation Board spot corporate violators than to try to scuttle the entire programi fromn the outset.' Slafety 'Spirit increase their safety by makîng sure eye holes are large enoughi and hearing is not blocked. Outsider - It's in to be out. .. neyer entering strange houses or apart- ments, that is. Non Burner - This one neyer carnies a candle, and the costume is made of flame resistant mater'al. Night Lighter - A flashlight ini the hand is worth more than a candie in the pumpin ... it's safer too. Ghastly Grouper - A group of frightening Hallowe'en haunters is much more scary to look at than a single spook. There's also safety in numfbers. Young children should be sure to go out with an aduit. Boundary Boo-er - Parents set boundaries for their children and the little spàoks stick to them.

Council's Major Pro blem Town ot Newcasthe Mayor Garnet Rickard indicated toý Committee of the Whole on Oct. 14 that one of the largest probhems council is to be faced with and must consider right now is the whole water and sewer system. Mayor Rickard was essen- tiahly offering the remark as a caution ta council regardine' approval for additionalhbous- ing in Bowmanvihle when it is not yet known if a Regional Rate for these services is going to be established. He feared that if it is not that Newcastle may have to pick up the cost itself which would be an astounding expense. Coun. Ivan Hobbs addition- ally noted that phase two of the filtration Dhant is not too tar oit and predicted that would cost in the neighbor- hood of $112 million. Coun. Ken Lynhl was, how- ever, in total disagreement with Mayor Rickard's concern as he noted that Bill 162 which formed the Region of Durham, turned nîl responsibility for sewer and water services following January 1, 1974, into the hands of the Region. Coun. Lyall insisted that the matter is now a Regional concern and should be lef t to them, adding the prediction that the costs of such will not allow the Regional (second tier) Government to hast. Mayor Rickard stated that if a Regional rate is not set the Town of Newcastle might have to back downon some of the things they had planned ta do. Mayor Rickard also refer- red ta Newcastle village which he chaimed couhd not possibly obtain a water supply fromn Lake Ontario without an area rate as the cost would be ta high. Coun. Hobbs suggested that council go on record ta bring their concerns ta the attention of the Ministry of Treasury and express the ho pe that they will respond with generous grants. Coun. Bruce Tink believed such a motion, which council approved, wouhd be improper at this time while the Region is attempting ta reach a rate solution. Irate Waverly Hilis Resîdents Demand Councîl Take Action To Pro vide The issues multiplied as the Gai nighit went on at a meeting of Ad. the Social Services Committee mit on Monday, Oct. 20. Dor A delegation of about 50 ýre citzes fomthe Waverhy Hihîs development on the west div side of Regional Road 57 dv petitioned the Committee for a recovery of parkland that had der, been promised by the devel- stat oper, and in the heat of the wai, debate, the issue almost got a buried. iWa t appears that the loss of mo' the pramised'hand was only that one of the manv beefs bother- wa' ing homeowners in the de- al -velopment. They're also upset S about motorists speeding on- Martin Road, absence of curbs and sidewalks on heavily travelhed routes, lack of bus- ing for children who attend Central School, the poor condition of the tunnel under- ieath Road 57, and the capacity of the town's sewage system. Etcetera. The main bout, however, was over a parcel of land directly north of the devehoped area in the subdivision. Cadil- lac Development promîsed either parkland or a seinarate schooh there and now the building of 44 townhouses on the property is imminent. Bulldozers stopped work on the land in response ta protests by residents in the development, but there can be no guarantee that the haît wilh be indefinite. During the summer, the Recreation Department had sponsored a travelling play- ground in Waverly iîs, but that program ended when the new schooh terms began in early September. The petition presented ta the Committee requested a more permanent facl ity. Signed by 280 people in the area, the petition read in p art: "W(e the undersigned feel that a travelling playground is insufficient f or the children of Waverly Hilîs. We, the parents of these children petition you, the Council of Newcastle, having settled for cash in lieu of parkland, ta endeavor tai suppely a mare permanent park that our children can use year round, not just during the summer mont hs under the supervision of a high schaoh student. " (In municipal agreements with developers, muja1y5ercen-oltheland sold is alotted for parks, or in lieu of that arrangement, a cash payment is made to the town for future recreational devehopments. In this case, the town had accepted the latter deal.) Other than ta assure the residents that the matter would be researched and that they wouhd be informed "with- in the next few days" of the outcome of such inquiries, the committee made no promises ta the dehegation.

Alternatives for parkland in the area are either on sites zoned for commercial use or on the east side of the heavily travelled Waverly Road. Coun. Ken Lyall sug- gested that the Committee pursue the possibility of de- veloping a parkette in the area, which could perhaps be modelled after __an- Adventure Playground. Doug Moffatt, newly elected) M.P.P. for Durham East, was also on hand for the meeting. When asked to comment on the situation, hie stated that hie believed the development had proceeded too quickly, but that in conjunction with Bud Fanning, Director of the Recreation Department, some solution, though flot neces- sarily the best one, could be worked out. Villa ge to Get Lights in '76 Matters dealt with by the Town of Newcastle Finance Committee Oct. 14 included a report from PUC manager' E . Jenkins on a program to I mprove street lighting on Mill Street in the former Village of Newcastle., The matter arose from reports of the poor lighting condition including a recent one from Coun. Ken Lvall Who had requested possible wash- ing of t he covers on the lights might help. Mr. Jenkins reported to the committee that it would be no help to wash the covers of the present lights as they are made of a plastic material which dtroae over the years. The question of why plastic covers were used received an answer from Coun. Lyall who explained it had been done as "the kids were breaking them.

Letters Tol Dear Mr. James: 1 wish to commend the students of Durham Christian High Sehool for their work-a- thon last Thursday. Whilst their teachers attend- ed a convention, these girls and boys spent their "holi- day" working to raise money to help cover the budget shortage of their school. The student that cleaned ahl my windows, and put up the storm windows, worked very quickly, efficiently, and was extremely courteous. He did a job in which any man could h ave taken pride. It is most reassuring in these times to know that young people will give their time and energy to hel other people and a worthy cause, without any thought of per- sonal gain. I hope their venture was a financial success and that they will have similar pJ*ects next year.ýnerlý Joan Vinislf Dear Mr. James: (re: Mr. Chant's article, October 15.) What is the role of a high school drama coach? Surely it is not, as Mr. Chant suggests, only to put on plays of enduring social value - as oppsed to musicals which "have practically 'no social value" and to train future great actors at the expense of the vast majority of high school actors.* -First it should be poînted out that the high sehool drama coach volunteers his time for this exhausting and often an actepted recommendation to council this week "that s oisions be made in the 1976 udget for $2,100 for the istallation of new street 1,ights on Mill Street in the former Village of Newcastle, and that this expenditure be area rated." Thursday, November 4th, 1926 At a largely attended joint meeting o f th e Trustee and Quarterly Boards of Trinity United Church held on Octo- ber 28th, it was unanimouslh passed on motion of C. M.' Cawker and seconded by C. Rehder that the members and adherents of this church, support the Ontario Temper- ance Act. Rev. J.R.- Hanley, Perry, Nýew York, will preach an- niversary services at. the anniversary services in St. Paul's church, Sunday, Nov- ember 7th. A piano solo by Ivan Leightonl, and a recitation by the Flaxman twins were highlights of the banquet given by the lst Bowmanville Scouts for their fathers on Friday evening in St. John's- Parish Hall. Albert Brownin¶ Couch, son of Mr. W.B. Couct, of Couch, Johnston and Cryderman was killed in a car train accident on Wednesday, October loth, near Milton, Ontario. Next Monday at 8 p.m. St. John's A.Y.P.A. will give a concert In tlw parish Hall The Ediîtor" thankless task. More importantly, when choosing between a small serious play and a musical extravaganza, the drama coach is really faced with the choice of involving ten to fifteen people or more than sixty. Surely a drama club must try to involve as many people as possible. Richard Burton, is Mr. Chant's example of a non-sing- ing actor who would not have gone on the stage if hie had attended B.H.S. Mr. Burton played King Arthur in the musical, Camelot. Surely Mr. Chant does not consider this a minor role! Perhaps Mr. Burton was lucky enough- to have drama coaches who encouraged hlm to develop as an actor. If as Mr. Chant dlaims, there are many serious non- singing actors relegated to minor roles in a musical, there is a solution which does not involve more work for the already over-worked Mr. Sheridan. Every year Simpson-Sears runis a one act drama festival for ail Ontario. There is no reason why these student- .could not prepare an entry foi this festival. Any actor really serious about fls- cranl, -a-ty potential Richard Burton, would do so much. We would also like to challenge the argument that no one will pay to see a repeat p erformance of Guys and Dolls. The C.S.S. production was four years ago, at Courtice Secondary School. Let us look at the facts. There is a central core of theatrp,-, goers in the Bowmanville area, however the mainstay audience is comprised of family and friendf of the students involved. Therefore, we cannot see that Mr- Sheridan is "risking a poten- tially dangerous financial situation." Guys and Dolîs is a good musical, and we wish Mr. Sheridan every sucess with it. Sincerely, Mrs. K.' Coverly, Mrs. J. Campbell. HALLOWE"'EN IS IN THE BAG, A 70-' fig leaf Mom wiII be the hit of the costume Party in her "Eve" costume made from green garbage bags. The night of ghosts and goblins wiII soon be with us and you're probably wondering how to dress the children this year. Ready-made Hallowe'en costumes are usually fIinisy and often too expensive for the few hours wear they with- stand. If you're having trouble findirig the right materials for this year's costumes you need only look as far as your kitchen cupboard. The natural material is the household stand-by, the garbage bag. Keep your children warm and dry and protect their clothing from sticky candy apples by fashioning witches, batmen, hula dancers or great pumpkin costumes from the green, orange and white garbage bags available from your supermarket. The kind of costumes ta be made is limited only by your own imagination. For exemple you cen dress a fittie girl as "the Great Pumpkin". A simple design cut from an orange "GIad" garden bag and trimmed with green gerbage bag leaves.' It is decorated with inexpensive stick-on letters or decals available at any hardware store. And let's not forget Mom and Dad., Aduit àostumne parties are becoming more and more popular and once again there is no limit to the outfits- you can make. Try an "Adam and Eve" costume made of "Glad" fig leeves. When you have decided, on your outfit assemble the garbage bags you will need. Remember it's fun ta combine colors. Sketch out your pattern with cheik o>- other marker by tracing around existing clothing or paper patterns. Cut out pattern pieces. To make seams place wet peper towelling over the garbage bag and run-the tip of a medium hot iron down the seam fine. You may wish ta reinforce the seams with masking tape. An inexpensive soldering iron f rom the hardware store will also do a fast, neat job of seaming intricate patterns. When buying the iran be sure it's no more than 23 watt and use the sharp cutting point attachment. Decals, stickers, and contact paper can be used ta add color and if the children will be out after dark remember ta use some reflector tape as a'decorative addition ta t4eir costumes. You're sure to have fun with these inexpensive Hallowe'en costumes and for ideas on>practical clothing and items ta make f rom "Glad" bags ail yeer round write ta the Glad Rags information Bureau, P.O.- Box 175, Term inal WA, Toronto, Ontario for a f ree brochure. This simple-to-make great pumpkin costume is made from orange and green garbage bags ýand costs only pennies to produce. 1
