On the "Slippery Slopes" The issùe of whether or not trucks should be parked on an owners prpperty in a residential area has gained a lot of attention attention locally through the application of a rezoning to allow such to be legal. Although the matter is a planning issue debate often veered from planning principals and sight was lost as to the intent intent of such principals. Council on Monday saw fit to support their planning principals and in effect, as of this date, have closed the door to such as truck parking in a residential area. Council, in fact, reversed a decision of the general purpose committee which was -made a week prior to last Monday's council meeting; There should be general agreement to this decision for it upholds the intent of the official plan and of the residential zoning. zoning. It seems that any governing body must at times be confronted confronted with stormy issues to bring intent and direction back to a proper perspective for that particular governing body. Such as the intent of the official plan and the zoning bylaw bylaw must be upheld and seen to be upheld by the general public if they are to have faith in the intent and the direction of planning within their community. To faulter or as was described at the recent meeting to 'bend' only leads to the 'slippery slope' of deterioration of the purpose of the by-law. Council sets the tone of its commitment to planning and it sets the tone of its by-law enforcement. They lose and the community community loses when that tone is soft and bendable. With a soft tone the application of regulations are not dealt fairly throughout the comunity are from individual to individual. individual. Its impossible because every application does have a slight difference. It must also be remembered that one bed invites another and soon it has gone full circle. Council took the right action on Monday. There is no choice The choice of the individual in certain aspects of services govered through a government agency presents a situation that the individual has little opportunity to express their wish to whether or not they wish the service or to what extent. Bell Canada has an application or intends to make .application .application to the Canadian Radio-Telelvision Commission to extend extend the Orono calling area to include the Oshawa exchange. There is also a call from Bell to lessen the requirement for such an undertaking. The Orono Bell subsribers will have some input as to their request but it is somewhat limited and contact with the CRTC is rather distant. The extention of the Calling area to included Oshawa will not be without cost and certainly one could well understand will not be at a cost to Bell. As far as Bell is concerned their will be an added profit in the move'. Its like dumping everyone in the lake with the view that everyone wants to go swimming when in fact that may not be the case. It's interesting to note that recently the CRTC has gr&nted Pay TV stations tjie right to include their services through Cable TV to their Cable customers. Cable customers have no recourse but to accept this service which goes without saying will be at 1 a cost. The blow is softened by stating the cost is expected to be only $2.00 a month but who really knows unless your satisfied to buy a pig-in-a-poke. Possibly the most interesting thing about the Pay TV move, which incidentally will now be able to carry TV advertising, advertising, is the fat that only a few years ago the enterpreneurs of Pay TV were screeming to get on the Pay TV bandwagon promising great financial returns that they would turn over to the arts and theatre. Many have gone belly-up is less than these few years and like good business professionals have latched onto an audience that has no recourse, if they subscribe to Cable, than to take the service and of course pay for it whether they want it or'not. Sometimes we have to wonder just how great is our enter- preneurship when it takes swinging the right doors for government government grants to survive and even having a federal agency slot you into to the individuals purse string. And say at the end "The dream is true." Edwin Markham January me tenth was a beautiful bright winters day.

Then I realized it was warm in my frig. At 4 a.m. I thought maybe I should take everything from the freezer to my back kitchen. So I did. Next morning morning I took the articles from the lower part to the cellar. So many things I think I am a pack rat. I took a big block of cheese, nuts, eggs, cream, milk, vegetables, whole wheat flour, bread, oatmeal, apple juice, you name it! How did we ever manage without a frig? Yet we did. We had a very cold cellar and the cream, milk, butter, meat etc. was taken down after each meal and placed on the swing shelf. , On Wednesday the repair man came. The compressor had seized up, a new one must be ordered. It had run 8 years. The new compressor compressor cost almost as much as the frig had cost eight years ago. It took almost three hours to install it. How wonderful to reach in and take out a fresh egg for breakfast. Mr. and Mrs. Len Falls provided a birthday supper on Sunday evening evening January 10th for their grandson who is nine years old. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Falls of. Peterborough. It was a family gathering. To the January brides and many of us were January brides, let me suggest that one thing you must' have is a double boiler. Anything made with milk or eggs should never be boiled as boiling toughens the curd. The only way to be sure your soup or puddings never reach the boiling point is to cook them over water. I remember the first peas I prepared. I opened the can and put them in a dish on the front of the cook stove. Then I prepared all the rest of the meal. When I served served the peas they were- like gold nuggets. nuggets. My aunt suggested that I get à double boiler then things would be hot never tough or burned.

That is far better than what my wife and I have at the parsonage." parsonage." "That's logical," said Father Papi. "Protestant ministers have better halves and Catholic priests have better quarters." Correction from last week: It should have read: Then one of the twelve great labours of Hercules was, fetching the apples of Hesperides,. those mysterious islands in the far west. But it was printed; the twelve labourers of . Hercules which made no sense. My dictionary says: Hercules - À hero of Grecian and Roman mythology, son of Jupiter and Alemene known for this great strength and for the twelve tasks or labours imposed upon him because of Juno's hatred for him. A serious young lad who had a good knowledge of the Bible was busy writing an essay on the topic given him. "Lying" he wrote: A lie is an abomination unto the Lord but a very present help in time of trouble. Song of the Lazy Farmer There's prie farm job .that I don't mind, I don't consider it unkind when Jane Mirandy. orders me to do the chicken chores, by gee. The reason that I don't recoil from what, to some, is dreaded toil, is that there ain't another thing will match rewards that chickens bring. There is no dish that you can eat for breakfast that an egg won't beat; and what for sheer delight can match a golden juicy 'tender batch of chicken, fried in country style? I don't see how a man can smile who never through unkindly fate has had' a drumstick on his platë. That's why Mirandy doesn't need to ask me more than twice to feed her birds, or lug a water pail; and I don't hardly ever wail when I'm assigned to stir my legs and gather up the new-laid eggs. The last thing I do every night is make sure that the flocks all right; as far as I'm concerned, by jing, those 1 hens deserve some pampering so any chore that must be done I'm glad to do, excepting one: Since dust will make me cough ' and wheeze because of all my allergies, I sadly have to stay away when it. is hen-house cleaning day.
