2, Oren. WeeklY Times, Wednesday, Jarnnary 27, 1982. B YLA WS BECOME A J OKE Most by-iaws passed municipaily are brought forth and passed with sound reasoning but when it cornes to implementa- tion and enforcement many become a joke. A case in point wouid have to be the 'No Overnight Parking' on ail streets within the Toxvn of Newcastle. There is fhuch logic in passing the by-law to keep the roads open for snow pioughing and we doubt that very rnany wouid disagree with this view. It does become another matter in the enforcernent of the by-iaw. The Town depends on the Regional Police to exer- cise enforcement and it would be our considered opinion that the Regional Police sce it more of an irritent than anything eise. Cer-tainly the police have many more important duties and would if they had to enforce the various by-laws cali for additional staff. This particular by-iaw will be enforced on a compiaint basis, giving your name, address, phone number and licence plate of the the vehicie controveneing the by-law which is then followed up with a personal visit front the police asking the vehciie to be pointed out. This is ccrtainiy a great deterrent for anyone wishing to have the by-iaw cnforced and must cut down drasticaliy on any work load that may arise fromt the conditions of the by-iaw. The Town on the other hand has a sîmilar view and it would require additional staff for enforcement and especially sin2ce most of the work wouid have to be donc after hours. Overnight parking especially in any business section is a detriment and certainly is the case in Orono. Take the passing of the No Smoking by-law which is in force in the Town. It makes sense as to the hcalth and wclfare of ail citizens but it lies dormant as to any thought of enforce- ment. The Sigu by-law, although duc for changes, was taken out of force solciy because of enforcement. The issue was becoming just too hot. Now the Town is to consider an Occupancy and Maintenance By-iaw and ail for good sound reasons. Will it turn out to bc unenforceabie when and if enacted by council. Certainly it couid create a few head aches ail across the board. LAST 0F THE EE SPENDERS? It may wcil be asked, "Have wc seen the iast of the big free spenders?" The Region of Durham have a debt of $75 million with interest costs annually amounting to millions. Intercst costs for sewer and water works flot even in use amount to some $7 million. Such works include the n 'ew Bowmanville sewage treat- ment plant at $9.4 million, the Courtice watcr and sewagc systemn amounting to $2.5 million and a water treatment plant idie in Whitby amounting to $7.8 million. The cost to the tax- payer is tremendous. But one does not stop here. Hydro has had grandiose plans in the past that they are now mothballing or have mothballed and this has to cost the residents of the Province millions of dollars. It bas been said that the mothballing of Weslcyviiic was flot a expense to hydro users but this is hard to accept as factuai. A recent programt on television brought to light many many projeas being dcvised by B. C. hydro, Quebec hydro and others. They are mostly in the north and many logical reasons were given why they shouId not proceed. But when it came to, the propontents of the projects they were dead set in forging ahead with what appears as non economicai yen- tures which aiso scare the earth permanently. One could rightly ask why and ever on our own doorstep in Durham with. the ovcr extention of watcr and sewer facilities. The province has been blamed because thcy encouraged such facilities with free boans. This is hardly an excuse for a regionai counicil member who bas supported this free spcndîng of taxpayers money. We know that the political system is not pe rfect and when John gets something he generaily pays his price by sup- porting Harry. We do feel there is something further above this. Do politicians nced 'an arena in which to wheel and deai. Do they feel there is a high profile in supporting gran- diose projects at the taxpayers expenses. Possibiy a combina- tion of both. French Immersion transportation (Continucd from page'1) of the two Towns. At the last meeting of the Board, by a narrow margin transportation is now extend- ed to somne rural French Im- mersion students but flot ail in the rural area. The new system effects 53 students in Darlington and some 18 in Port Hope Town who will now be transported to their respective French Im- mersion schools. Trustee George Cameron reported that transportation costs for the extended service into the rural area will cost thre local taxpayers $4,300 with the Province picking up the re-t of the costs. He said this was a far cry from the previous estimated $77,000 for both taxpayers and the province. Darlington trustee Sid Worden said the new rural systemn showed inequaIity. He said it was unfair that four Courtice area students wouid flot be able to take advantage of the free busing. At the pre- sent time there are a number of east students.who are in a similar position. Clarke Trustee Wm. Car- man agreed with Wroden and said there wouid be a number of students who couid flot participate in the systemn and if the Board was about to provide French Immersion transportation then it shouid be for ail such students. The director of education told trustees that the systemn was a compromise solution and was the only kind that couid work. Letter to Editor Dear Mr. Forrester, On behaif of the Commit- tee for the "Weekend With The Stars" Telethon for Cerebral Palsy, we would like to express gratitude to you for the publicity given the event.

They had a January thaw in Toronto on Saturday, Jan. 23rd. when a trough of warm air came that far north, much to the surprise of the forecasters. Last year we had a very cold January foliowed by a very miid February that ruined ail the Pear Orchards. Will we have a mild February this year? The coldest time of the year is considered by the weather records to be Feb. the 3rd. and 4th. Then with the sunis returfi a graduai warming begins.

Name and describe a dish commonly caten in Canada which originated in another country. Some wonderfui Acadian, Ukraine, and Italian dishes were described in detail. Somne day we hope to have the method of cooking them demonstrated. The motto was, The World is a Global Village. The topic: Haiti, the Home of our Foster Child. Mrs. Caruso said Haiti was not a land that attracted tourists. The people were so very poor. They are black people, about 90 percent are illiterate. Only 40 percent of the children attend school. They are taught in the French Creole language used by the people. One of our ladies sometimes writes to Our Foster Child in French. We sent money for a Christmas Gift. She wrote back saying -With the money you sent we bought a nice pig." 0f course food is one of the things they need most. Their land long ago was covered with mahogany and ebony trees. Now it is stripped of its forests and farmers suffer badly from floods and drought. It is a land of great mountains and deep valieys. It is ruied by a dictator who spends huge sumns of mnoney on things like his son's wed- ding this summer while the poeple starve. Hundreds have lied the country in leaky boats and sailed for Florida. Hundreds have drowned on the way. Lunch was provided by Mrs. L. Ransberry and Mrs. E. Couroux. February is apple month when our deiicious Canadian apples are brought out of storage. Why not make a deep dish apple pie for sup- per? You can use lots and lots of fruit with no bottom crust.

Cook in a round dish on top of stove in a lîttie apple juice for a few minutes. Then drop crust on top and bake in the oven with your other pies until the crust is slightiy brown.
