WHAT OTHERS SAY - OSHAWA TIMES RICEARD SPEAKS TRUTII IN PLANNING REVIEW Reeve Garnet Rickard of Darlington Township is a political rarity in some ways. He isn't afraid to stand alone and use blunt words wben there is strong need for such. This doesn't always endear him to many (and sometimes he is wrong), but this trait sets hlm apart in the ranks of the r ý ted in a commendable way. He did it again at a recent get-together - the final meeting of The Central Ontario Joint Planning Board (COJPB). It wasn't easy on this occasion for the board members to be constructive. The atmosphere was drab and doleful, but the reeve got bis message across with impact when he asked: "When are we going to be brave enough to implement these plans proposedl by our board and convince the politicians to do so, also?"' He used the town of Newcastle as an example of the crux of the problem. He said that the politicians are slow to adopt completely new concepts as solutions to expansion problems. Tbey are hesitant about planning ahead. Mr. Rickard - reflecting on wbat planners have said in the past - pointed out that Newcastle shoulj not grow any larger "if any of the valuable agriculture land is to be retained". So what bas happened in the meantime? Already developers 'lave bought ail but one apple orchard in the surrounding land, be said. THen hie added another sombre note to bis cu nmentary; al of the planning to establish a balance in the land use between agriculture and residential appears to be useless since the plans are rarely implementedl the way the planners present them. His words had a lot of eallop, clearly underséored some of the things that are wrong with. officiai planning currently, especially when he said: "It's like having faith in Christianity, but doing nothing about it. When are we going to start practising what we believe?" Robert Woolcott, another board member, added: " The ideas are here, but how do you seil tbem?" Mayor Ivan Hobbs of Bwomanville - vice-chairman of the defunct board - also mnade sense when hie said: "Part-time politicians just don't have time to go running around selling these ideas to the other politicians and to the public." Surely, this is a commendable endorsation for fuli-timne regional councillors as compared with part-timne. Will the new regional governiment be brave enough to set out and plan a town? Or will services and facîlities be stretched to cope witb day-to-day problems on a basis other than planning concepts? These are questions that dig deep. Let's hope the new Durham council tackles them in a meaningful way. CUUN StLIU!

"'No facility now exists comprehensive enough to provide the infprmation necessary prior to establish- ing municipal reclamation plants as workable alterna- tives to present disposaI methods." "A number of proposals have been received over the years but these have generally been slanted toward particu- lar processes and equipmeènt; we want this facility to be able to test in practice any method which seems feasible in theory, he added. "This is a long-term project, though it is hoped and anticipated that valuable short-terms benefits will, re- suit." WEEK from Ottawa FOOD PRICES DOWN' Supermarket prices drop- ped in October seven-tenth'ls of one per. cent - the largèst decline in I17 months, repor- ted Statistics Canada. 'The' decline "was mainly attributable to lower 'pnices for beef, pork, fresh fruit, beverages and some dairy pro- ducts." The Consumer'Price Index for meat, poultry and fish fell 2.8% between Octo- ber and September. eOVERTY DECLINING Statisties Canada has re- ported that the number of families below the poverty line has decreased considera- bly- froin 15.9% of the total in 1971 to 13.4% in 1972.
