In the first place there is no relationship whatsoever between the two and people today are smart enough to realize this. Why would they use their vote to elect a federal government in protest to a provincial matter. Much is being said about discontent wi: Tories but the Tories have over the past thirty years been able to mend their fences with $he population just before any election and take the edge. This was very true in their last election when there appeared a large trend away from the Conservatives but Davis with the people's money was able to buy back their favour. It could well happen again. Of course the liberals and the NDP have to prove to the electorate that they could form a good government and this has been hard to do so far. It has always been amazing to us how the provincial government can survive some of the problems they have with fringement on ethics of government which, if had happen at the federal level would have created a scandal of sorts. The news media appear to handle thetwo areas different and this is often evident. Davis still has plenty of time to make amends to the dissidents in his parish of Ontario.

MINISTRY ALLOTS TOWN SUPPLEMENTARY SUBSIDY The Municipality of the Town of Newcastle has been given 1974 Supplementary Subsidies by the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications, a total of $547,000. The approval, however, is gicen subject to the approval of individual works of construction and of contracts for construction or maintenance. $280,000. has been granted for construction and $267,000 for maintenance. HOME CONSTRUCTION AT A LOW LEVEL-Just prior going to press a press release was received from Walter Frank Real Estate in which Mr. Veltri of Marianne Developments is recorded to state that housing costs have risen to $25 to $28 a square foot during the past year from a former price of $20.00 per foot. It was also reported that a building lot in Oshawa, if one could be found, would cost $30,000. Rising building costs, high mortgage rates and scarcity of'serviced lots were stated the causes of a slow down in new housing in the area. It was felt that due to regional goyernment just being formed locally that subdivisions will be held up for two years in the Town of Newcastle. Mr. Veltri estimates there is a need for at least 3000 housing units in Newcastle this year. There will only be some 300 completed, he said. It was pointed out that houses in the Marianne Development range in cost from $50,000 to $60,000 with down payment between $11,285 and $14,035. Carrying costs about $400.00 a month. 1)it ithe ÊN Reported "Hit and Run" Accident An accident occuring last Friday evening at about 11:30 p.m. just east of Leskard, was almost considered "hit and run", until the other driver reported the occuVance to Newcastle OPP on Saturday morning. After their 1973 Toronado had skidded several yards downhill, then overturned into the ditch, driver Jim Hughes of Toronto and passenger Rick Gay of Oshawa reported the accident and said the other driver had left the scene. However, the driver of the other car, Archie Hoy of R.R.2, Orono, stopped to inspect his car, but could not see or hear the Hughes car in the ditch, so he drove on. The overturned car ended up on the other side of the hill from Mr. Hoy. The two men in the blue Toronodo were on their way to a golf tournament in Port Perry, but had stopped to see friends, Mr. and Mrs. W. Wilson at Kirby. The accident happened after they had left the Wilson's approximately three miles from their home. They were taken back to Kirby to telephone the police. Mr. Hughes when explain- ing what happened, said he came to the top of the hill and saw two headlights coming straight at them. He swerved to the right to miss them, but before he knew it, his car had rolled over several times and landed right side up in the ditch. "I thought we were dead!" he exclaimed. There were no injuries except for the passenger Rick Gay who received only min'or cuts on his forehead. Officer Moon, Newcastle OPP investigated the accid- ent. The police have made no comments as to charges being laid.

Some of Henry (western) all. With regards to my attitude to the Rice Development. I do not and I will not support the project for many reasons -- reasons that have been ex- plained in the past. I do support the idea of modular homes as I see this type of a home the only chance that our young marr- ieds will ever own their own homes under present day financial situation where an inexpensive home costs $40,000. However, my support of modular homes (I dislike the term mobile home because it is a misnomer) is not based upon the idea of a modular home park. My concept of modular home living is a home of this type set on a two acre plot of land (for its own water and septic tank). The two acre plot of land must be allowed to be severed by common sense action of the Regional Land Divison Com- mittee. This concept wil be the only way that the majority of our young married will ever get a starter home of their own In conclusion I repeat I do not and will not support the Rice Development concept.
