2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 7, 1983 1 #rono Second Class Mall Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the of flee of Publication Main Street. Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor \ Proposed Policy Contes Under Fire The Town of Newcastle council has proposed that some of the cost of streetlighting both capital and operating be taken from the general budget which would, as such, distribute the cost throughout the rural and urban areas alike. It is a new venture in financing streetlighting but one that has created a storm in the rural areas which is only natural and surely could have been expected. Counc. Woodyard points out that rural residents in a majority of cases already provide lighting on their own property without the help of the municipality and cannot be expected to now being taking some of the load of municipal projects where they do not receive a direct benefit. Taxpayers in suçh as Orono, Newcastle, Bowmanville who have for years paid their own costs would receive the benefit with rural assessment being taken into consideration for streetlighting costs in those particular areas.. It is interesting to note that council has somewhat introduced a user-benefit, user-pay policy for recreation and culture.' The street lighting proposal, however, is a direct contradiction of their philosophy being instituted in recreation and'culture. Instead of reigning down on expenditure they would be opening the door and most porposals for street lighting expansion expansion would be decided with a political base. It will be interesting to witness the deb.ate this coming Monday and it is expected that there could well be some turn-around.

Edna McCann says: Yesterday over tea an<j cookies, old Mr. Meers and I were talking about the differences differences between horse- drawn carriages and motorcars. motorcars. To my astonishment Mr. Meers remarked that a horse-drawn carriage used to travel an average of eleven miles an hour in downtown Toronto traffic. Today the average speed of an automobile along these same streets is six miles an hour. Do you think this is progress? Hère are some rules from The Master Diet Plan. It works! ' 1. Never order anything deep fried when you eat out. , 2. Cook without oil. Meat broiled by itself is every bit as palatable as meat panfried in oil. - 3. Poach the things you usually fry. ' Think vegetables. They provide abundant natural vitamins, fibre and remarkably few calories. Rediscover potatoes. The potato is the most maligned staple in our diet, the first item abandoned by the weight watcher. In actuality a small potato may contain only only 70 calories and seasoned with a little salt and coarsely ground pepper it is one of the tasti.eSt apd most nourishing df low calorie foods. Watch the sugar. Sugar is the only thing in"our diet that contains nothing but calories. 1 Cook your vegetables in one kettle, one flavours aiiother. Then be sure and save the juice, it contains the mineral, use it in soup. An onion improves the flavour of tùraips.» In lighter vein: As a female letter carrier, I have been called many things by people on my route - mail lady, mail mârm, mail ma'am and so on.
