At a news conference last Thursday in Toronto, pro- vincial transportation min- ister James Snow said the government is "prepared to proceed with the design of the Pickering-to-Oshawa and Oakville-to-Hamilton sec- tions immediately." The estimated cost of extending transit rail service into Oshawa and Hamilton is $162 million and $252 million respectively. Although statements by Mr. Snow do not specify exactly when Durham commuters will be able to catch a GO-train in Oshawa, itis likely the service will not be available for about five years. The technology to be used for these rail extensions is known as the Advanced Light Rail Transit ALRT, and will be provided by the urban Transportation Devel- opment Corporation. M m m mm Good!

Health Unit won't inspect for lice For the first time in many years, the Durham Health Unit will not be going into area schools to inspect youngsters for head lice. Elizabeth Schaefer, direc- tor of Public Health Nursing Services said last week there are several reasons why the Health Unit is no longer involved in examining child- ren in the schools throughout Durham Region. Budget restraints this year caused a reduction of three nurses, Ms. Schaefer says that last year, the cost to the Health unit of inspecting and re-admitting school children was $40,000. But she also says that head lice is not really a health problem and not a problem specific to the schools. "The real control must come from the homes," she stated. The Health Unit has pre- pared a detailed information sheet about head lice - what to look for, how to treat it - and this sheet has been sent home with every youngster in Durham schools. It stresses that detection and treatment is the respon- sibility of the parents. The incidents of head lice have been on the increase for (Turnto page 13) The ALRT will also be used for second major transit proposal unveiled by Mr. Snow last week which calls for a rail line across the north of Metro Toronto linking the Scarborough Town Centre to North York, the Airport and Mississauga Town Centre.

CASE, which means Coun- selling Assistance to Small Enterprises, is operated through the Federal Busi- ness Development Bank and provides counselling service to all types of small and medium-sized businesses. Last Friday morning, a group of local businessmen and women met at the Port Perry Dairy Bar with CASE co-ordinator Lorne MacInnis g - of Oshawa. Each of those present has used the service to help them correct ineffic- ient parts of their business. Mr. Maclnnis stressed at the meeting that most small businesses operate without too much trouble, but some do run into serious problems caused by inexperienced management. "We want to help businesses before they get into trouble so they do not become another bankruptcy statistic," he said. Counsellors for CASE are retired business experts and executives who can be called upon for assignments any- where in Canada. They have about 2,000 men and women on call who have extensive experience in almost all aspects of business. Mr. Jack Pradburys, is just one of the counsellors that has helped out some Port Perry businesses. Mr. Prad- bury is a former vice- president of Honest Ed's in Toronto, and has many years of experience with Kresge's Stores. Another man to help in the area was Mr. Alf Murray, a former general manager of the Hudson's Bay Co., before retiring and starting to counsell with CASE.

A notice of motion that Durham council salaries be frozen in 1983 at the present level of $13,980 per annum has been introduced by Oshawa councillor Ed Kolodzie and Newcastle councillor Ann Cowman, both of whom are seeking Getting Ready To Head South Almost every day somewhere along the lakefront at Port Perry you will find a flock of about 20 wild Canada Geese. The geese have been a part of beauty of the lakefront over the past couple of months, but we wonder just how long it will be before they join their re-election this November in their respective munici- palities. They have also introduced a motion calling on the full Regional council to have the power to approve the filling of all staff vacancies until after the 1983 budget has been set. In addition to the $13,980 paid to each of the 30- member Regional council, councillors also receive a mileage allowance for gs 3 + Fi a" ow ) Pad h ¥ i council business. The chair- man of the council's standing committees also receives an extra $750. Salaries paid to members of council are tax-free for one-third of the total. Regional council salaries do not include the salaries each receives as a member of the local council. These vary from municipality to municipality throughout the Region. s friends who can be seen daily winging their way south. These geese were photographed Monday morning at the beach area along the lakefront, but when the Star photographer started approaching to take this photo they were not long taking-off out over the lake.
