Simulation of factory cond- itions could also be usedto accustomn the workers to earnîng thieir living, he added. Coun. Ken Lyall (Newcast- le) wasn't in favor of the idea. S L was tried in the 1930s duoring the depression, hie explained, "and just exacerb- ated (aggravated) the pro- blem." Under a similar seheme, People would work for lower wages than the going rate, thereby making it possible for towns not to hire at the normal rates, Count. Lyall noted. "The phriosophy is admir- able but it just isn't practical, hie saîd. The main problem is going to be with, mass unemploy- ment and worrrying about two.dozen people isýa thýng of the pas t, hie said.

"Somne are still wvorkinig inow," said Coun. Potticary "Sure, we lost seven, but it's a start and wve can prob-ably get grants for the program,"' hie said. 1lo nai agriculture ted Durham County Federation of Agriculture is no more. At the association's annual banquet at the Lion's Centre here Thursday, members vot- ed to disband and re-formi along regional lines. Thiat means (the nembèr- ship) from the former town- ships of Cartwright, Clarke and Darlington have joined together with the members from the former Ontario county to form the Durham Region Federation of Agricul- ture.* Mlembers from Hlope Twp. have joined with Northumber- land Countly, and ithose from Mýanivers.Twp. with Victoria County. The approximately $5,000 in assets will be divided among the three organizations., Representatives from New- castle in the new federation are Ted Watson, Ross McMda- ster, Gordon Barrie, Don Welsh, Newt Selby, and ýJam- es Lowery., Those fromn the former Cartwright Twp. are, Lawrence MeLaughlin,,iRich- ard Van Camp and Merrill Van Camp. The, new federation also voted to support the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's position adopted at its con- vention in Hamjilton that class 1 and 2 agricultural land be reserved exclusively for farm Production. If any of this land - estimnated to be 10 million out of the 220 million available acres in the province - is used for other purposes, the federal and provincial governmnent nqust recompen se the farmers f(k" i t, the federation has decided. This high agrieultural yield land in Durham Region stret- ches along Lake Ontario and about 10 miles north, a federation spokesman said. Fed-up with studies A north Oshawa group are fed up with studies and pending studies .by the City op Oshawa concerning the fut ure use of the Oshawa Airport Land. The group of 200 mostly area residents now residing north of the Airport and three developers want the city to rezone the land residential. The group point out that they want a say in the use of the land and that residential classification is the only logical one. The city has suggested that the land be hield open to, await a further study following the adoption of the Officiai plan by the Province. A member of the local association said, "Lt is nonsense, any further study cani comne to, no other decision than that already existS. It bas been pointed out that most homtes in the area are served with wells and septic tanks and that this is no( adequate.
