Profession aiWomen celebrate anniversary Committee approved Orono housing plan The General Purpose committee of the Town of Newcastle gave their stamp of approval to a rezoning ap- plication and a proposed modifica- tion to the Orono Hamlet Secon- dary Plan. The rezoning and the modification of the hamlet plan will allow Christopher and Lynn Robin- son to create eight residential lots with private water and sewage disposal on their lands west of Regional Road-17, south of Taun- ton Road, in the northern sector of Orono. The amending by-law will take place following the Region of Durham approving the modifica- tion to the Hamlet Plan. The ap- plicants must also prepare a Master Drainage plan. In June of 1990 at a public meeting in Orono the planning department through a proposed Hamlet Plan called for residential In celebrating their anniversary Barlow not only reviewed the Barlow, Irene Konzelman, program the Bowmanville and District Pro- past in women's rights but as well director, Roxy Barnes and Maureen fessional Women's Association last presented her view of the future and Mumford, chairperson of the local week had as their guest speaker the challenge it brings.

At that time the plan called for the lands deaIt with on Monday to be rezoned with an Agriculture (A) zoning. Following the June meeting council members referred the pro- posed Hamlet plan back to staff to undertake consultation with the Robinsons. The eight lots are to have a fron- tage of I11.5 feet on Regional Road 17 with a lot area of 1.4 acres. Both the Health Department and the Ministry of the Environment have approved the site for residen- tial development providing wells are, drilled to a depth of some 66 feet.

Following a presentation on November 12th by John Magder, chairman of the committee council referred the request to their solicitor for an opinion as the legality of sùch a grant. Dennis Hefferon in a letter to council states that in his opinion council has the legal authority to make the grant requested by Dr. Magder if council is of the opinion the grant is in the interest of the municipality., He said, "it is a mat- ter of policy for council to deter- mine in its discretion." With Counc. Hamre stating her conflict of interest and with Councs. Wotten, Hooper and Deegan on one side of the dump and Couns. Hannah, Stapleton and Mayor Hubbard on the other side the issue bogged down to a tie and any attempt to move in any direc- tion was defeated. Although Counc. Stapleton tried for any type of a compromise which could have included loaning the money - the issue died. Maude Barlow, a noted feminist, consultant and National Chairper- son Council of Canadians, was the guest speaker last week at an an- niversary meeting of the Bowman- ville and District Professional Women's Association. In her address, spiced with humour, she outlined the history of women's issues, its progress and at the close threw out a challenge for the future. Barlow is well qualified in all of her topics and issues. She took her audience back to pre-election 1917 when no women, no idiots, no lunatics had the right to vote. "We've come a long way since then," she said. She marvelled at the fact that women obtained the vote in Quebec as late as 1940. She read from a physician's report who held that women would fil the jails by 1960. Barlow stated that women who were brought into the work force during World War 2 never returned to the home and that to-day women are represented in all forms of government and half fill the courses in law schools as well as deeply penetrating the lecturing field in University. She said there were two in- dicators which show that women have not reached the ultimate in equality. Poverty amongst women and abuse of women continue and show we still have a long way to go, said the speaker. She also noted that the wage gap between men and women hàs not changed significant- ly in the past few years. "Children are poorer and will stay poor and poverty will continue to have a woman's face". Women, she said, are in the low income jobs, those of the service industry. In speaking of society as a whole she said it was of an egg shape for many years where the middle class Happenings...

Barlow said that has changed with loss in the middle class and the shape of socie- ty is taking on the appearance of a pear, - power and wealth at the top in fewer and fewer hands and with the middle class dropping to the bottom of the bulge in the pear. (Continued page 2) Doctor to get rezoning for new office in Newcastle Dr. Eleanor Vincent who was denied a rezoning application, a week ago Monday, to develop a doctor's office in a residential house in Newcastle has now gained the support of the majority of coun- cil. Council hiembers on Monday following a more than two-thirds vote re-opened the issue and recom- mended that council this coming Monday give their approval. The decision came following a presentation by Dr. Vincent sup- ported by six other speakers from the Village. It was pointed out the need for doctors in the Village and that ade- quate parking would be available. The application for the rezoning did have the stamp of approval from the Town's planning depart- ment. Counc. Stapleton did hold to his view that there was adequate room downtown for the office and that such should not be located in a residential area. The application is expected to pass council on Monday.
