2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 3, 1976 NDP's and (From Page One) Dr. Smith indicated that the NDP seem to feel that all that is necessary is to take more money from the Corporations, business people and the so ;called ich and, simply distributeritin some way to those who are in need. What he believes they "really want to see is a society in which thegovernmerit does everthing. It's understandable Sthat the namie for that is Socialismn", which, although he considers it a reasonable formn of government, "is not one that he would enjoy. "It just doesn't work economicalIy", he stated as his reason for not concurring with socialisr . The Liberal. leader noted that "if the private businesses in Ontapio can not expand, and can not modernize and renew themselves, then there are no jobs that are going to b avaîiable to the working people of this province.' In thatlight he suggests that the only people that will be able to provide jobs will be govrnment. He suggested that it is no joy working for the government. "Just talk to the civil servants", he said. "Talk to the people who have to work in nationalized coal mines in Britain and see whether it's a heck of a lot better than working for the private companies here. It isn't Speak to the people who work for nationalized steel industry in Britain and see if they enjoy negotiating their wages and working conditions with a bunch of bureaucrats who couldn't care less if the company ever made a dollar or didn't," He views Canada as a land of opportunity where people want to be able to move up in the world but suggests that the socialism the NDP offer ends up in a situation by which the country simply stagnates and goes nowhere. That in turn calls foi government to get tougher with people and force them t do things. Dr.Smith belives that ther FLOWERS D~ 0 .

"I'm very disappointed by the way in which the NDP have been simply negative about everything. The govern- ment", he says, "deserves credit for trying to cut back on expenses before we find our- selves so bankrupt that we're in the position of New York City." HioId Part y (From Page One) of gracde 7 and 8 students. 50 years earlier in a small one room school in Purple Hill (Cartwright Township) Mr. Hobbs began his long career as a teacher and adminis- trator, and it was as a result of his dedication from 1916 on that made the naming of the new senior publie school a fitting tribute in 1966. His fist teaching job at Purple Hill paid him $450 per year, and he not only instruct- ed students, he served as the caretaker as well, making sure that the maintenance work was done and the school kept clean. Mr. Hobbs received his teaching certificate from the Peterborough Normal School, and before his adminstrative . duties began on a full time basis years later, he had given instruction in many class- rooms, "Before my teaching days were over, I must have taught in every small and one room school in Darlington," Mr. Hobbs said. Included in the long list were schools in Enfield, Hay- don, Courtice, Solina and Enniskillen, where he and his wife moved 30 years ago when Mr. Hobbs became an admin- s istrator for the Darlington school board. In those days there was no need to have full time admin- r istrators so Mr. Hobbs com- r bined the job with bis teaching duties for several years. At that time he used his garage at home to store school supplies and often worked from an office in the house. Before he became super- vising principal of the whole area of South Darlington, he taught manual training on a rotating basis to a number of local schools in the area. On his circuit were schools in Maple Grove, Courtice, Salem, Providence, Hampton and Mitchell's Corners. In the late forties wben he served as supervising prin- cipal, Mr. Hobbs described 'himself as a "trouble shooter.

( BOB) INCHE of INCHE WELDING 86 Church St. Bowmanville Phone 623-2985- I had to make sure that repairs were done",to the buildings, and I evaluated teachers' and students' per- formances." In 1953 Mr. Hobbs was appointed secretary-treasurer of the school board, and like all of his other duties, he devoted much time and energy to this post. At the ceremony in the school gym on Friday, Mr. Hobbs was described for the present day students as a 'kind, patient man.' Mr. Metcalf also added that "he's a jack of all trades, and a master of ail trades too." In reply to the tributes, Mr. Hobbs said that he appreci- ated having "some small share in helping" both stu- dents and teachers during his career, and he offered a word of advice to young stûdents today. "Be sure you take advantage of every situation that comes up. I wish you all may be successful, but if you're having trouble with your work, feel free to come to your teachers for help." Liberal Le ader (From Page One) larger ones. He stressed the need that the economy of the small towns has on their hospitals. The Liberal leader suggest- ed that "you would think that people in the government would realize that Ontario has a problem. With people leaving the small towns and villages and coming to the big cities, you'd think they'd stop trying to destroy the small villages." It is Dr. Smith's opinion, instead, that a portion of the beds in other hospitals nearby the smaller ones should be closed. He suggested that closing a village hospital will "take the heart out of these places as the doctors leave- and then there is no one to take care-of the elderly citizens in their homes or institutions." He fears the situation snow- balling and taking the em- ployees of the hospitals away also due to a loss of pur- chasing power and ultimately the merchants who have depended on them for a living, closing up shop. "You kill these towns when you just take away the whole industry", Dr. Smith con- tinued, however, "they just don't seem to understand that. Mr. Miller says you save more money closing a whole hospital than half of another hospital." While agreeing that there is some truth in that philosophy due to saving on such items as heating, cleaning and so on, Dr. Smith does not feel that it is worth the few dollars in extra saving to actually "ruin a town".

He additionally noted that the town hasn't even received approval of its capital forecast let alone such an added item. He foresees it ending up on the coming year's mill rate and stated that he opes someone can explain it to the people if such be the case. Mayor Garnet Rickard ad- vised that a community cen- tres grant could likely be obtained for the project which would cover 25 per cent of the expenditure and he f elt the town could handle the re- mainder from the current year's funds. The $40,000 in the Capital Budget would there- fore only be a provision in case needed. A motion by Coun. Kirk Entwisle to have the matter tabled until the next Finance Committee meeting and have the clerk ask Cimco for ani extension of the deadline on the tendered price, carried Head Table Guests at Lions Club Ladies Night Held on Saturday, February 21st, Lions Ladies' Night was a huge success. Over 150 people joined these head table guests for a roast beef dinner followed by dancing to the sound of an Oshawa group called "The Individuals". The lovely ladies in the front row are, Annabelle Rickard, Joyce Finney, Mary Anne Richards, Pat Evman, Thelma Leslie and Colleen Lush. In the supporting roles are Mayor Garnet Rickard, Deputy District Governor Ray Finney, Bowmanville Lions President Moe Richards, Ladies Night Chairman Fred Eyman, District Governor Ed Leslie and Zone Chairman Bruce Lush. Cdn. Club Speaker (From Page One) gone on to become a recog- nized authority in the field of communications. He bas done some free lance radio and TV work, written several articles, two children's books, and worked for the federal govern- ment on three task forces, in the foreign service and as assistant to a cabinet minis- ter. Norman Rebin is currently visiting professor of Group Dynamics and Public Speech at the University of St. Paul in Ottawa. His topic will be "Crusade for Canadian Credibility". He bas received the highest ratings for bis stimulating speaking ability from other Canadian Clubs. Our next meeting will be Tues., April 6 when Albert Watson will be the speaker. On Tuesday, February 24th, our president, Mary Gill, attended an informal mini- seminar hosted by Mr. J.H. Yocom and Mrs. Donna McGeachy Ontario Regional Vice Presidents, at the West- bury Hotel, Toronto. Mr. Graham Wilson, Chairman of the National Executive and Mr. Michael Howarth our National Director along with representatives from ten Ontario Clubs attended the two hour session during which program ideas and mutual problems were discussed in depth. Dom's Object (rmPage One) least $300 per 100 feet of distance. That would be 32 trees"per 100 feet. Also thetcost of a chain link fence for that distance would be some $74,196 making for a potential of $125,000.1 The feeling of Dom's is that the present board fence pro- vides a better screen than the chain link fence would. Tbey feel the chain link fencing would leave the inter- ior exposed while the solid, painted fence contains the interior view. Although it is Dom's size that would bring on such a high cost to comply with the new recommended bylaw, Coun. Ken Lyall came to the defence of such salvage yards in general. Coun. Lynall, as he has in the past, defended the operation of such a business as being a necessity for the disposal of old or wrecked vehicles. He suggested that rather than making a bylaw which will restrict them it sbould be one that will womk with tbem as they are necessary "recycling experts". Although the salvage yard operators have had some input into the formulating of the new bylaw, there appear- ed some question as to them having been invited to a special meeting on it. Coun. Kirk Entwisle, chair- man of the planning advisory committee, and Planning Director George Howden advised that when the meeting was called, the concerned parties were notified and no one came. Mr. Skells, however, noting that he was on record as representing Dom's, claimed he had not been notified of the nmeeting, to which Coun. Entwisle merely suggested that the notices may have been improperly sent. Mr. Howden, however, in- sisted that tley had been notified by telephone as well as by mail, due to the mail strike, and were even notified about the fact that the bylaw was coming before council Monday. Coun. Ann Cowman express- ed some concern that the only representation present on Monday was on behalf of Dom's while others were not in attendance. She assumed that others were not concern- ed with the changes to be made to their yards under the new bylaw. Questioned by Coun. Ent- wisle, Mr. Howden advised that the size of most other salvage yards in the town runs from five to 10 acres. Coun. Entwisle inquired how much of Dom's 57 acres is actually used or licenced for use as a salvage yard and was advised by Mr. Skells that all or part of it is a legal, non- conforming use. Although agreeing that it was a non-conforming use, Mr. Howden voiced uncertain- ty that it is legal, advising that the bylaw of the former Darlington Township calls for a fence one foot higher than that presently surrounding the property, as well as setbacks that are not being complied with. In addition to tabling the seven page bylaw, council approved a motion by Coun. Ivan Hobbs to have Mr. Skells re-submit, in writing, the objections his clients have to the bylaw. Ribaildryk, (From Page One) Most of the events in the play relate back to a night which neither of the couples baving tbe affair can explain to their husband or wife. Bob Philips then thinks of a person he works with, the innocent bystander, William Detwiller, and daims to bave been counselling hlm on the break- down of bis marriage'before be came home late on the mysterious Wednesday night. 1Bob's mistmess, Fiona Foster, meanwhile has heard Bob using William Detwiller as the scapegoat and proceeds to avoid a confrontation with her husband, Frank, by claim- ing to have discussed Mary Detwillem's marital poblems witw ber on Wednesday nigbt. Bob Philips' wife, Teresa, on a rare occasion when she is moved by her heart before her often foul-mannered mouth, invites the Detwillers to din- ner, hoping to help William deal with his infidelity, of which Bob has informed her. At the Fosters, Frank re- members that he baswinvited Detwiller and bis wife to dinner to get to know them because William has been transferred to his department at work. To say the least, Fiona is surprised when Frank tells her who is coming to dinner. A carefully crafted scene in which the Detwillers are simultaneously the dinner guests of the Philips and the Fosters was set, although the audience has been made aware of the fact that the two dinners were spread over two evenings. The technique of the play here shows the difference of style between the Philips bousehold, where a concoction that smells like underarm deodorant was served to the Detwillers, and the Fosters' where avocados and such were on the menu for the dinner guests. Bob and Teresa Philips, played by David Schwalm and Margie Grey, were two char- acters that were an over- whelming couple. Although their relationship took a turn toward the comic occasional- ly, the married life they faced together was generally grim. Frank and Fiona Foster, however, may have hit home with some of the audience. John Amesbury played the part of absent-minded Frank Foster and Catby Godfrey took on the character of his unfaithful wife, Fiona. Essen- tially, the two couples are suffering from the same sickness, that of a breakdown in their marriages, and maybe the playwright, Alan Ayck- bourn, was pointing out that social barriers do not exist when a couple is going through the seven-year itch. The Detwillers, played by Peter Sobil and Helen Nelles, are introduced later in the play as the third couple involved after the stage was set by the Fosters and Philips. The writer here seemed to be poking fun at social climbing, an art which William is just learning as the newest member of Frank's department at work. William goes to great lengths in his efforts to be agreeable with his new boss, but his wife Mary suffers most of the consequences for him. Forced to drink cocktails when she actually is a teetotaler, Mary just grins and bears the burden quietly, never disturbing her bus- band's efforts to get on the boss's good side. The comic style of a character like Mary Detwiller is entertaining to watch, maybe even more funny than watching a marriage fall apart on the stage, which is actually what the audience faced through much of the play. Frank Foster's character often succeeded in relieving the play from its grim reminder that the story is really about a marriage breakdown. The business- man's businessman, he at one point assembled the three couples and was about to explain his theoy on who was having an affair with whom when he found out he was w o .lg. in "Well, if you're not baving a love affair, that changes the whole agenda," he says, reducing the whole traumatic event to the level of a board meeting. But the play generally tried to show us a modern marriage with its inadequacies exposed and this often came off in a sharp and shoddy way. The title may be giving us direction on how to take the play. "How the Other Half Loves" could have been show- ing us the sordid side of marriage which the audience can be thankful that they do not have to face when they get up in the morning. The production staff behind the play was comprised of Producer, Pat Marjerrison, Promotion Director, Sandy Rushak, Business Managers, Waverly Assn.
