ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSUAY, FEBRUARY 5th, 1970 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Second CLusa MaÉ Regitratioti Number V368 every lbrgcday at the office ot pubication! Mai', Street, Orono, Ontaio. Phone 963-531 PARENTS SHOULD BE ON THE ALERT - FOR DRUGS White recently there bas been practically no public- ity here on the subi ect, it is becoming increasingly evident that some of our young people are experimenting with drugs of various types, probably witbout their parants' re- alizing it. This editorial is an effort to put parents on the aient to watch for unusual behavior and other indications in order that they may prevent their chldren from becom- ing addicted. Prevçntion is xnuch better than realizing ±oo * late what has happened. Police and medical people here are well aware of the situation, having seen some of the cases in hospital in re- cent weeks, and all are prepared to give any assi stance they * can to hoth parents and young people. This is not a pleasant subject by any means, but one that should be dealt with immediately so that it doesn't i1ret worse. Some of the drugs being used are being taken orally, smoked or injected by needle, the last being compar- atively simple to detect. They can lead to violent reactions, brain damage or an eanly death. Fortunately, at the moment, the practice is not wide- spread, but apparently the drugs may be obtained la the area without too much difficulty and their use could spread quite rapidly if it is not checked.- -The Canadian Statesman TO EVOKE DISCUSSION A preliminary statement on development and ne- gional government alterations bas been prepared and well circulated by the Oshawa Area Planning and Development Study Authonity. The report containing somne two hundred and fifty pages, bas been received by most municipal organ-, izations, representatives and sucb groups as Chamber of Cgommerce. The report hias been prepared to evoke dliscussion and participation in the preparation of a developmnent plan for future 1growth and goverument of thie area fromn Picker- ing to, and including Clarke T-fiwnïslip on the wuest-east boun3daries. It is expected that six discussion papers nd three, reports outlining study proposals will be prepar>ed during the studyý period which will end by ýtbeiidle of bhis 3year. There is an opportunity for the Commrtnify as a wbole.to become involved in the distission of the formation of regional areas. Whether or not municipalities will. have the final say bias not really been determined. The Provin- cial Governament, on occasions, bas said the formation of the areas will be the decision of the people but this could very well be a hazardlous policy to follow as the rich would look after themiselves leaving the smaller and less viable centres to fend for tbemselves. It is becoming e vident that the United Counties may very well.not be a reasonable area for establisbing a reg- ional form of government. There is certainly no great centre of population nor of influence to hub the area. It al- so- lacks industrial assessment to the degree 'that Oshawa woyid provide or Peterborough. The -Osbawa report involves Clanke-,Townsbip very littie but there is reference to Clarke possibly becoming a recreational centre for the region if it were to become part of the Oshawa region. The repo rt provides a number of areas as a possible region and at this time ail and otbers are open to discussion. As other reports are presented the number of possibilities, will be parrowed down so thaf a decision can finally be determined soiretime in July. We have commented before and have yet to change ouir mid, thvt it would be more feasible for Clarke to join the Oshawa regions. There is no doubt tbat this municipal- ity will eventually be part of some region and this being so Clarke should now make its move to fully consider being a part of the Oshawa area. Clarke Township residents, in the majority, are as- sociated more closely with the region to' the west, socially and economically. The development in the Osbawa-Bowman- ville aneal does affect' the clirnate of our community and as sûcb we 'should be part of this com.plex. Te Join The Pollutilon Baffle General Motors of Canada is ail set to meet new provincial regulations on Pollution by eva- poration of gasoline beginning with the 1971 models. "Everything is teed up for '71 said a company spokesman recen- tly. The provincial cabinet recentlyý approved the new Evaporation, Ermîssion Control section of the' Air Pollution Control Act, de- signed to eut the evaporation of pollution-causing hydrocarbons from the gas tank and carburetor by 70 to 75 Per cent over current models. The company spokesman said the regulations are the same as those required by the U.S and control elements have been work- ed into design from the begin- ning snce the regulations were anticipated for the last several years. Cars built for 1970 do not-have such pollution controls. Meanwhile Local 222 UAW pos- sibly witb the help of the Oshawa and District Labour Councîl, is preparing its own investigation of pollution - this time in the pro- duction of cars. Local 222 president Abe Taylor said volunteers are- being taken for the committee proposing to investigate poiltion by GM.
