Testing takes ap- proximately four minutes, is completely painless and does not require removal of clothing. The procedure is not an X-ray. It is not necessary to make an appointment for testing, which is provided on a "first come, first served" basis, with test results calculated on the spot by a qualified respiratory techno- logist. The lung association hopes that by offering easy access to lung fun- ction testing, more people will become aware of potential threats to their respiratory health. It is estimated that over 4-million Canadians currently suffer from ailments af- fecting the lungs and airways, with smoking, pollution and , oc- cupational hazards cited as prime factors in the increasing incidence of these conditions.

Explaining the home use bylaw By COUNCILLOR MARCEL BRUNELLE Centre Ward How many times have you read in the papers about some town issue and-been confused about why it came up in the first place and how will council deal with it? I would like to take this opportunity to review with you some of the basic facts on the home occupation by-law, an issue presently before council which if not followed closely will and has been misunder- stood by many. 'There is and has been a home occupation or cot- tage industry bylaw in place for many years. This bylaw allowed home occupations with certain restrictions. the town discovered that this bylaw failed to curtail the actions of certain businessmen who violated the spirit of the bylaw and opened full scale businesses in residential areas that were ob- jectionable to their neighbours, and set precedents for other full scale businesses to open anywhere in any residential area. The planning department then brought forward a proposal that would have put a stop to all home oc- cupations legally. I and other members of council objected because we felt that this was a unwarren- ted intrusion into the rights and priviledge of homeowners, so we called for public meetings. At the public meetings the messeges were loud and Association holding free lung tests - ...- . .~ Submitted by members of WHITBY TOWN COUNCIL TOWN OF WHITBY P0y RIOR y IROQUOIS PARK COMPLEX FEASIBILITY STUDY PROGRAM The firm of Jean Monteith and Associates along with the Town of Whitby's Staff Study Team will conduct a public meeting of the Iroquois Park Feasibility Study on THURSDAY, MAY 31ST, 1984, at 7:30 P.M.

W., WHITBY 666-2811 clear, the citizens did not wish us to further restrict them. The planning department having heard the comments by the public and councillors brought forward a new proposal. This new proposal allows home occupations as before except they cleaned up teh language to per- mit the legal enforcement of the home occupation bylaw in cases where there is full scale intrusion in- 'to a neighbourhood that changes the residential ap- pearance of a home or uses over 25 per cent of the floor space in a home for a business or requires ex- tra parking spaces. Except for some changes affec- ting doctors and veterinarians and the above changes the bylaw is the same as has been for years. At present, the new proposal has been sent to legal authorities for opinion to see if it will do the job intended, that is to allow home occupations provided they don't become a major nuisance to a neighbourhood. For the sake of brevity I have not listed the specific by-law language but I believe I have fairly stated the main issues involved. I hope the result is that there is a better under- standing of the issues involved in the home oc- cupation bylaw debate. Should you wish to discuss the details further, please give me a call. Over the next several months there will be con- struction projects going on all over town I know that for some this will be dusty summer but I hope that citizens will be patient and understanding about the inconveniences. Till next time, have a great summer. 't . 1
