It matters flot, apparent- ly, thiat Metro hias alrcady paid- $ 1 00,000 for the privi- lege of' deposittig xaste on the sclcctcd sites.

Tlie rîews that Premier Williami Davis is planning a greenbelt buffer-zone to the north of the proposed Osha- wa-centered region is creating a great deal of conversation amiong folk ini our town. This buffer-zone wiil be an elon- gated strip which will curve across the regîin--commenc- ing at Niagara and extending eastward to beyond Cobourg- is of undetermirîed width as yet anîd few hints have been given as f0 the composition of land and recreational areas withiî if. lit is expected that miore defails %vill be forth- corng shortly. It is believed flie area will serve as a barrier against urban spravl and aid ini preserving the idenitify of comnurîlfies throughi which it passes. 1 W'onder \Wiîx Tiiev l)ori't DPaErtnuei r: ixvender xvhx' thley' doîfî "tîiike i t coîtipul- sory lfortrarut or 1 ratier onits and or lier larce trurcks 10 crl- pliie tse of spiash t.guards t'or ail xvhecl is 11these litige units.

Ap Turncoat Department: Was rather non-piussed when 1 heard tlîat a by-law to borrow money for library financing, purcitase of the towîi hall was included, passed in council without a dissenting vote. It seems to nie that at least two counceillors were elected on a platform of opposition to the sale of the municipal builings to the library. In explanation, one of these gentlemen ex- piained lie was prepared to talk for 45 minutes in opposi- tioni to the by-law but, when advised by the clerk it would,, be of -no use since the vote was to be only a formality, declined to say anlything. This may sound logical to hirn but it sure doesn't to me. Are you listening Councillors G. and L.? Catnada AM, the sparkling early tiorrîîng shiow on Tor- onfo's CFTO, liras arranged to have a number of leading mayors as co-hosts this week. Included are the mnayors of Vancouver, Toronto, St. John, N.B. îand Halifax. We can't 'help but wonder why the Mayor of A the Mayors, 'our own Des Newman, was flot inclfudètf. We know Des is re- luctant to take his place in the spotlight *but surely this would have been perfer..
