Certainly flot Bob Nixon. oywih ooyral nii One New Demnocrat victol hc.ooyr.arlestii pated camne to pass right here in Durham West. DrChre Godfrey, the successfül candidate, conducted an excellent campaigfl, and, in the humble opinion of this person, was aided primarily by his forthrighit opposition to the airport, and regional governmient. In West Lynde, his cause was not hiurt, in the least, by his reasoned opposition to the West Lynde highrises. So, for four înonths or six rnonths or whatever, we wil! have minority governrnent in Ontario with N.D.P. en- joying a more powerful and miore proi-inent role than ever tcj èrje.

W.L.C.A. FaIt Meetimîg_ Tornorrow night, Thursday, September 2Sth, the fall meeting of the West Lynde Cornrunity Association will be held in the Municipal Building, 405 Dundas Street West, beginning at 7:45 p.ni. As was rnentioned in last week's colurnn, the Constitution of the Association is tô be dis- cussed tomnorrow night withi several inmportant amendments having been proposed . There are a couple of proposed amendments being put forward for discussion which deal with the finances of the association. It lias been proposed that the dollar anounts tWiat the Executive are authorized to spend be raised, and the question of rnenbership fees is also on the agenda. One presumnes the purpose of scheduling a discus- sion of the latter is to raise the fees from their present level. It would appear that inflation lias touched the W.L.C.A. The quiestion of association bo.undaries is also on the agenda, with one amnendnient proposing their extension to include the highrises when, and if, they are built. This amcendmnent is likely to generate a great deal of heated dis- cuission given tlhe commuitnity's attitude toward the high- riscs. It will mot be an easy decision to reach for if thc higlîrises are includcd a great many people will have 10 for- get the battle that hias been fought, and accept as niemnbers peuple who live in a building nobody wanted built.

It wouId also appear to bc discriminatory given the low-rental nature of the proposed apartmcnt complex. In putting forth this amendrnent, 1 think the Association executive is acting somnewhat prernaturely. First of ail, whether to include the highrises or notcan surely wait until they are built, and occupied. Secondly, whether to include the highrises, or not can surely wait unti somne interest in joining the association lias been shown by people living in the buildings. 1 suspect that any discussion now wil be largely academie, and will serve no useful purpose. At any rate, the Constitution is to be discussed tomor- row night, so why not corne out, and get involved ini our association. S-ome short scribbles: The Whitby Warriors (formerly the Ma cs) of the O.H.A. Senior 'A' Series have been practising hard for the last week and a haif. They have an exhibition gamne this Sunday at Iroquois Park against the new Lindsay entry in the league. Game time is 7:30 p.m. On the subject of highrises, a recent news release mndi- cated that the O.H.C. was no longer involved in the project. My Queen's Park sources tell me they are stili involved. What is the truth, 1 wonder? Message to Wayne Dcvcau frorn West Lynde: where is ail the dcveloprnent plaîîned for Central Park, and promnised for this year? The W.L.C.A.
